Presentations

Presentations (12)
Personal Celebration & Appreciation Mindset: Strengthen Your Leadership Edge

This presentation focuses on the mindset and importance of acknowledging, celebrating, and appreciating yourself especially as a leader. This presentation treats celebration and appreciation as personal skills that disrupt the norm of thinking that there is a right way and right time to celebrate. Instead, we take another look at celebration and appreciation and explore how each of us likes to celebrate, what energizes us, and acknowledge our progress/efforts.

Feedback from previous participants on their biggest learning/takeaway:
"Thinking about how things look from outside."
"Not just celebrating the big things."
"To remember it's okay to celebrate."
"We need to find ways to get the team to celebrate more."
"We haven't been focused on recognizing and celebrating our accomplishments."
"We should celebrate success via ways that others appreciate, but we have to do it for ourselves first."
"Concept of celebrating effort."

Resiliency: The Underappreciated Difference for Leaders

How you show up as a leader is a reflection of how comfortable and confident you are in yourself. Great leaders are comfortable with their strengths and with being a resource for their teams' success! Poor leaders aren't willing to share ideas and information, don't know where they stand, and hold their teams back because of their insecurities and doubts. This presentation focuses on why resiliency at the individual level is key to great leadership.

Creating a Positive Attitude & Happiness Mindset

This presentation focuses on methods and tools to create and enhance a happiness mindset and positive attitude.

Feedback Lab

Join us for an interactive session that will help you make feedback a potent tool to work more effectively and build
better relationships!

In a fun and safe environment, the participants will take part in playful and practical small group activities related to receiving, interpreting and communicating feedback.

In this session participants will:
- Understand what makes feedback drive decision making
- Learn to translate their feedback from thought to engaging conversation
- Engage in interactions that help them communicate
more effectively

Authentic Networking: Bringing Your True Self

Not a huge fan of networking? Would you like to have a better approach that feels authentic to you? Join us in discussing what makes networking feel more authentic, and create your own strategy for approaching networking in a way that you are more likely to be successful.
We will go through the ISLE method to:
- Craft a personal authentic networking Intention/mindset
- Seek out Situations that align with your personal authentic networking intention/mindset
- Lure/attract opportunities to connect authentically by bringing your true self
- Formulate your End goal and maximize the value of authentic networking
This workshop is an interactive experience and focuses on your mindset around networking. Rather than overloading participants with general content, tools, and techniques, the focus is on group discussion, personal reflection, and personal strategy creation.

Succeeding in Ambiguous Situations

Ambiguous situations abound. This presentation focuses on understanding many ways to be more comfortable with ambiguity and how ambiguity serves us. This will help the audience to expand their mindset to consider ambiguous situations as opportunities instead of problems and apply this mindset to their jobs and lives.

The 5 Challenges Achievers Face in Their Pursuit of Happiness & Success

This presentation focuses on an the challenges of an achiever's mentality and the possibilities to incorporate a more resilient mindset to prevent burnout and dissatisfaction. Those with an achiever's mentality might hold these beliefs:
- I need to be doing something to be of value.
- If I think about the future enough, it will be perfect.
- Success is all that matters in life.
- Someday I’ll make time for something other than work.
- I need to live up to others’ expectations of me.
- If I keep working hard, I will earn love or happiness.

Takeaways from Prior Participants:

“I was more of an achiever than I thought and am proud of my growth.”

“I need to focus on me.”

“I need to not only stop and celebrate, even the little things, but to stop thinking appreciating and celebrating is a waste of time.”
