Building Workplace Confidence
For many people, the voice of self-doubt has become so deeply ingrained they aren’t even aware they’re playing small (which is limiting their engagement in the overarching company mission). During this talk your team will explore the world of their inner critic. They’ll identify ways it’s holding them back in meetings, conversations, and their career. We’ll practice proven methods to break career-limiting vocal habits.
Revamping & Enhancing Team Communication
Do your employees have automatic communication assumptions? Here are a a few:
● Women don’t speak up
● Engineers are quiet
● Men speak too much
● Sellers talk too much
In this powerful workshop, we’ll break through communication assumptions and explore new ways of understanding our colleagues. We’ll redefine the strength of our voice and learn techniques to take responsibility for how we show up and optimize workplace conversations.
Maintaining Peak Performance At Work
In addition to their career demands, most professionals are juggling significant life complications such as: aging parents, young children, financial responsibilities, health issues, etc. And the stress of that is exhausting.
To achieve peak work performance, you need energy…lots of it. And that requires disciplined self-care (something many people feel guilty even considering).
In this workshop, attendees will learn about the limiting career potential of putting their emotional and physical wellness last on the list.
They’ll gain a new and energized perspective on self-care and its relationship to peak work performance. Together, we’ll identify hidden blocks holding people back from practicing self-care and I’ll teach mind-shifting tools to launch busy professionals into a regular and empowering practice of it.
Communicating With Unshakable Confidence
Many professionals unknowingly stunt their career by holding back their ideas, opinions, input and knowledge. Whether with a boss, colleague, or client—the ability to speak with confidence is a crucial skill to workplace success.
In this workshop your team will explore the biggest challenges people face when speaking up and how to overcome them. We’ll also identify situations and conversation patterns when each participant automatically turns down their voice without realizing it. I’ll teach proven methods and tips to help unlock their courage and turn their voice back up!
