Pep Rally: Building Human-Centric Workplaces
No matter how long you’ve been in the game, leading people is HARD, especially if you seek to energize, inspire, and build the next generation of the workforce. Many of today’s leaders struggle to build trust, engagement, and connection; they want to generate a positive, collaborative work culture, but simply don’t know where to start.
In this interactive presentation, participants will join the “pep rally”, learning practical strategies that change energy, help leaders inspire, foster inclusivity, drive engagement, increase productivity, and make work (dare we say it) fun.
This engaging hype session goes beyond the “why”, guiding next gen leaders to the “how” with strategies, practical activities, positivity, and pom poms (of course)!
Key Takeaways:
Define “human-centric” leadership, and why it’s important for the future of work
Understand why trust and connection are paramount to creating an engaged, accountable, and positive workplace culture that drives business success
Learn practical team building strategies guaranteed to improve connectivity, cohesion, and collaboration
Target Audiences: Executive Leadership, First Time/Front Line Leaders, Emerging Leaders, Leadership Events, Team Building Events
Why Not You?
Too often, our thoughts don’t translate into action; we let the voice of doubt creep in and convince us we can’t or won’t succeed, so why bother?
This is a dangerous place to live, in work, and in life.
When we lack confidence, we doubt our decision making, avoid risks, and let criticism derail progress, ultimately preventing success and career growth for ourselves and for those we lead.
In this inspirational and uplifting session, participants will be challenged to change negative self talk, take risks, and ask “Why not me?” because the reality is, if you don’t do it, someone else will…so what are you waiting for?
Utilizing music, pom poms, reflection, and movement, participants will engage in a fun, motivational session that will guide them to look forward with an emphasis on growth, development, personal accountability, and confidence.
Key Takeaways:
Reflect on and identify people, situations, or circumstances holding them back from taking next steps
Acquire visible and invisible strategies to lean on when not feeling confident, encouraging big moves and risk taking
Learn what it means to be “YAVIS” and create a personalized acronym that supports growth and career goals
Target Audiences: First Time/Front Line Leaders, Emerging Leaders, University Students, Women Focused Events
Leading Across Generations
For the first time in history, five generations of people are in the workplace. Due to differences in life experience, communication, and motivators, creating a culture of collaboration and belonging for all employees can be challenging.
In this interactive and entertaining presentation, participants learn work and communication styles of Boomers to Gen Z, and the historical context that contributed to making them the way they are; strategies will be presented to leverage multigenerational strengths and differences…and the answer isn’t to “fix” Gen Z because each generation has their quirks!
Simple and actionable relationship building activities will be shared that create inclusive environments where all employees, regardless of age, will feel valued, respected, and seen.
Key Takeaways:
Gain understanding of historical context that impacts generational work and communication styles
Learn common workplace culture themes all employees desire regardless of age or experience
Acquire simple ideas and strategies to create a cohesive, collaborative, multigenerational workplace
Target Audiences: Executive Leadership, First Time/Front Line Leaders, Emerging Leaders, Individual Contributors, University Students, Leadership Events, Team Building Events, HR Focused Events
She Sits Beside You: Providing Support and Hope for Domestic Violence Survivors at Work
1 in 4 women will be impacted by domestic violence in their lifetime, so it is quite possible the woman sitting beside you at the conference table, collaborating on projects, sharing insights, may be that 1.
In this session designed specifically for leaders, participants gain vital insights into recognizing potential indicators of domestic violence (DV) survivors, and how they present at work… from a survivor.
This session is deeply vulnerable, personal, and uncomfortable to present at times, but it was created out of demonstrated need. When snippets of my own DV experiences in leadership workshops and keynotes, almost every time, women approached afterwards to share their story; in many circumstances, it was the first time they had done so. I realized I was not alone, and to best support others, it was time to use my voice, create awareness, and provide actionable strategies for leaders to support those that have experienced DV, even if it had never been disclosed.
As leadership conversations grow around mental health at work, the need for trauma informed leadership becomes more prevalent. Leaders often have a playbook of strategies to support women in crisis, however don't recognize the unseen scars of DV, or how to support women long after physical and emotional abuse have ended; these experiences forever shape how survivors interact with the world, including how they communicate, collaborate, and think critically at work.
In this session, participants will learn to identify behavioral and emotional indicators of trauma that may be present. This session will also cover the importance of creating supportive workplace environments, and provide actionable strategies for leaders to effectively respond to the needs of survivors.
Empower yourself with the knowledge and tools necessary to make a positive difference in the lives of those affected by domestic violence.
Key Takeaways:
Build awareness of the prevalence of domestic violence through data and story
Identify potential behavioral and/or emotional indicators of domestic violence, how they may be presenting in the workplace, and the negative impact they could have on growth and career progression
Provide strategies that create conditions where survivors feel safe to stay, grow, and thrive
Target Audiences: Executive Leadership, First Time/Front Line Leaders, Women Focused Events, HR Focused Events
