Stress and anxiety are increasingly becoming issues in the workplace. Increased competition, longer working hours and higher performance expectations are all contributing to a stressful work environment. And the news at home isn't much better. Digitization and always-on technology have blurred the boundaries between work and personal life, removing the natural buffer between them and costing us our health. TAMING THE SABERTOOTH is an entertaining and engaging keynote that causes people to examine where stress is sabotaging their happiness, and inspires them to take control of their response to it in order to thrive. The presentation centers on three key points: Purpose - Challenging assumptions to find clarity of purpose Passion - Moving through fear and choosing optimism Persistence - Renewing resources to nurture recovery Takeaway Message: We cannot necessarily change our environment, but we have the power to shift our response to it by building resilience.

Peak performance is the mission of every organization today, yet in a world where many teams find themselves trying to maximize productivity with declining resources, the pursuit of continual improvement often takes a back seat to pure survival. Change is inevitable within every organization. Building resilience in the organizational context is becoming increasingly critical to navigate that change and succeed. FAILURE IS NOT AN OPTION centers on three powerful dynamics: Conviction - in challenging times, showing integrity builds respect Courage - building trust demands authenticity, vulnerability and humility Compassion - leading from the heart creates leaders others want to follow Takeaway Message: People do not need to be driven to deliver results - leaders can shape a workplace where people are more likely to show strong optimism and motivation in response to consistency in communications, greater self-awareness, and leaders who prove they put people first.
