Recent events have caused your leaders and employees to question their lives and careers. You’ve lost many valuable people and the ones who haven’t left are not as engaged as they used to be. They’re contemplating what they want – and need – from their work and are ready to consider other opportunities.

A clear sense of purpose is essential at all levels – from leaders using it as a guidepost for making critical business decisions, to managers having conversations with teams about how their work is essential to the purpose of the organization, to employees understanding how they spend their days contributes to their sense of purpose. To be fully engaged, employees need to find meaning in their daily work.

Unfortunately, fewer than half of people say they know their purpose or find meaning and fulfillment in their work. As a result, they’re easily overwhelmed when faced with change, are less resilient to stress, lose confidence and direction, and are less engaged.

Research shows that people who are purposeful in their jobs perform better, are more likely to avoid burnout, and are more committed. Not only will your people experience the game[1]changing discovery of their current purpose, the rich group dialogue that takes place will form a deep sense of connection, understanding and unity.

After this keynote your team will know…

• Why purpose is essential to success professionally and personally
• How a clear sense of purpose improves resilience, performance, engagement, energy, connection, and sense of belonging
• Practices for gaining clarity on their purpose
• How to fully articulate their purpose and realize how it connects to the work they do
• How to keep their purpose front of mind as they make decisions, engage with clients and co-workers, and deal with stressful situations
• Ways to take daily action that are aligned with their purpose, as well as the purpose of your organization

When the stress in our lives increases, so does the demand for energy in order to deal with those stresses. And the last few years have been stressful for everyone. Leaders, managers and employees have been working harder than ever before and are stretched thin, burned out and exhausted.

The cumulative data of our Resiliency Assessment shows that people struggle with PHYSICAL RESILIENCE the most.

Physical energy is the foundation of everything. Without energy, nothing happens. And the energy required for your people to succeed and thrive is off the charts.

ENERGY FOR RESILIENCE will help your people increase, fortify, and recover their physical energy & resilience.

INCREASE ENERGY:

High levels of productivity and effectiveness require high levels of energy. And food is energy! Unfortunately, most people are short on time, confused, overwhelmed, and frustrated when it comes to nutrition. They’re eating in ways that increase stress and decrease energy. We HAVE to eat multiple times a day and poor choices dramatically hinder our energy, resiliency, performance, and engagement.

This module gives your people the knowledge, confidence, and tools to consistently take in high-quality, energy-rich fuel for their bodies and brains. And to do it in a way that is easy, quick, and flexible. This is a very different approach to eating than most people are used to, and they’re pleasantly surprised to learn just how doable it is.

FORTIFY ENERGY:

We’re going well beyond the Micro Bursts! Exercise isn’t just a way to change our chemistry after stress – it’s a powerful tool for long-term resilience, a deeper well of energy, confidence, and the ability to overcome challenges.

Participants will be motivated by what a pivotal role movement and exercise play in every aspect of their lives, and how to incorporate them into a busy schedule.

RECOVER ENERGY:

Sleep is the #1 tool our brains and bodies have to recover and renew energy. However, a high percentage of Resiliency Survey respondents report serious struggles with the quantity and quality of sleep they get. Without adequate sleep, our energy, and ability to successfully overcome challenges and maintain a positive mindset suffer.

The global pandemic has hit women particularly hard. Forty two percent of professional women report they’re burned out and 1 in 3 say they’ve considered downshifting their careers or leaving the workforce completely. They’re overworked, overwhelmed, overstressed and feeling OVER IT.

The “She-Cession” is here and it’s hurting your business. Research proves that companies with more female executives are more likely to outperform companies that don’t. You must support, retain and attract talented women in order to develop a culture that enables men and women alike to achieve their potential, employing the power of a diverse, collective genius.

This session addresses the unique challenges and needs of your female leaders and gives them the tools to sustain their performance and energy for the long run – both inside and outside of work.

• Resilience and confidence are influenced by how well we know our values and purpose. When we lack clarity, we’re less resilient to stress and our confidence wanes. It’s difficult to feel confident in our abilities when we’re uncertain about why and how we make decisions. Once we truly understand ourselves, then our priorities and decisions will naturally align with our ideals. We grow in confidence as we learn to trust our internal locus rather than be swayed by external forces.
• Resilience and confidence are affected by recovery. Our days are filled with stress, incessant obligations and habitual time wasters that sap our energy. How can we feel positive and confident when it seems we’re not doing enough or not doing it well? Recovery means granting ourselves permission to strategically refuel and recharge. Only then can we can predictably unleash our talents, skills and passion with sustainable, high-quality energy.
• Resilience and confidence are linked to our physical being. The chemistry of our bodies and brains are a direct reflection of our ability to thrive in the face of stress and uncertainty. Many women continually prioritize other people’s needs in front of their own, and years of physical neglect result in feeling burned out and exhausted. Our bodies are where energy is generated, and learning to see them as the biological source of resilience and confidence changes everything.

This highly interactive and engaging program teaches women how to develop daily practices that embolden confidence and competence in the workplace and beyond. Rich with discussion and inner reflection, this program also utilizes the wisdom and experiences of the entire group. Leaders walk away with personalized action plans to transform from feeling OVER IT to On Fire, On Purpose and On Their Game.
