We’re Jugglers and the 1st ball to drop is usually our own…

Kate has the unique ability to find humor in any situation and to offer creative solutions to defuse the frustrations in the home and workplace. Kate’s generous insight and outspoken character, provides a powerful combination to help organizations empower their staff with effective tools for managing stress and sustaining motivation.

Between our jobs, home, relationships with family, friends and co-workers, learning how to balance our busy life demands a strong sense of personal development and most importantly a Sense of Humor. It’s not about the next best joke, it’s about lightening up and not taking ourselves so seriously and bringing that to every area of our lives.

People, who attend Kate’s “Balancing Life with Humor” presentation, leave with an understanding of practical techniques for refueling, rediscovering and reengaging their true selves. Learning to use humor as an instrument of communication creates an atmosphere of compassion, caring and productivity.

We want the fastest, most stable connection possible in all areas of our lives..
In Kate’s “Connectivity,” keynote she shows the audience how to establish, cultivate, and keep connections that lead to productivity and success both in business and our personal lives. Whether it’s a CEO connecting with their staff, a client connecting with their customer, or departments connecting with other departments, good communication and rapport within an organization is the source of a flow that leads to creativity, quick resolutions, and a deeper understanding among staff of the overall business purpose. Staying connected to colleagues keeps things on track and is one of the most important elements to an organization’s success.

A Journey about resilience and perseverance…
Kate’s Keynote “Out of My Mind…Back In Five” explores techniques of managing our mental health and gives practical ways of staying healthy and positive even through the toughest times. Kate’s inspiring, humorous and sometimes touching stories take us on a journey about resilience and perseverance – how she found comedy, how it helped her discover self-worth, confidence and to fight the negativity in her own mind that was keeping her from living the life she deserved.

“Back In Five” explores the way we feel about ourselves and others, as well as our ability to manage our feelings and deal with everyday difficulties both at work and home.

From practical methods including:

• Understanding how mindfulness can help us achieve self-awareness that has the power to affect all areas of our lives in a positive manner
• Learning one-minute stress strategies that you can do at the office or home
• Breaking up the monotony with Rejuvenation 101 (That’s a long list).
• The methods available to us for taking charge of our own mental health include: How we think about ourselves, being grateful, being in the present, sleep, diet, exercise to name a few.

All these methods can ultimately boost our mood, build resilience and add to our overall enjoyment of life. Audiences leave this keynote with the feeling that knowledge is power and that we all play a role in our mental health.
