• Unwind Your Mind: Mindfulness for Stress & Anxiety Management

  In today’s high-stakes, always-on environment, stress and anxiety are increasingly common, especially among senior leaders managing constant change and competing demands. As a Certified MBSR teacher and mindfulness coach, Eve Lewis guides participants through research-backed mindfulness practices that calm the mind, regulate emotions, and enhance resilience. Grounded in neuroscience and psychology, this session explores how mindfulness rewires the brain for better focus, emotional regulation, and adaptive leadership.

  You’ll learn practical techniques to shift from reactivity to response, cultivate present-moment awareness, and integrate brief, effective practices into even the busiest schedule. We’ll also explore the role of self-compassion in sustaining high performance and supporting others. Whether you’re leading through uncertainty or seeking more balance, this session offers tools to lead with clarity, calm, and purpose, while supporting your own mental well-being.

• Better Sleep for Busy Lives

  Sleep is foundational to mental clarity, emotional regulation, and resilience, yet many leaders struggle to get the rest they need. Whether it’s due to stress, irregular schedules, or life’s competing demands, poor sleep affects decision-making, mood, and overall well-being. This session explores how mindfulness and meditation can significantly improve sleep quality by calming the nervous system and reducing cognitive overload.

  As a Certified MBSR teacher, Eve Lewis guides participants through accessible, evidence-based techniques such as the body scan, noting technique, and mindful wind-downs that can be used personally, and even with children.

  We’ll explore how mindfulness lowers cortisol levels, eases nighttime rumination, and builds habits that support restorative sleep. Even a few minutes of practice can make a big impact. Leaders will walk away with simple tools they can integrate into their routines to foster better rest, greater presence, and improved mental and emotional performance.

• Being Less of a Jerk to Yourself (and Others)

  We’re often our own harshest critics, judging ourselves in ways we’d never speak to others. This session, Being Less of a Jerk to Yourself (and Others), explores the science and practice of compassion, beginning with how we relate to ourselves.

  Drawing on research from Dr. Kristin Neff and others, we’ll explore how self-compassion reduces burnout, enhances resilience, and strengthens leadership capacity. When leaders model kindness, it shapes team dynamics and drives positive outcomes. Compassionate workplaces show higher engagement, lower turnover, and even stronger performance metrics.

  You’ll learn mindfulness techniques to quiet the inner critic, shift from self-judgment to self-kindness, and respond more skillfully during challenging moments. We’ll also explore ways to extend compassion to others, enhancing collaboration, emotional safety, and trust. This session equips leaders with practical tools to create more connected, resilient, and human-centered teams.

• Navigating Grief and Loss

  Grief and loss are universal, yet profoundly personal experiences that touch every life. Whether it’s the death of a loved one, the end of a relationship, a health diagnosis, or the quiet loss of a dream or identity, grief impacts us emotionally, mentally, and physically. Common signs, such as brain fog, sleep disruption, irritability, and deep sadness can arise in unexpected waves. There’s no linear path through grief, but with mindfulness and self-compassion, we can navigate it with more grace.

  This session explores how to meet grief with presence and resilience. We’ll introduce research-backed practices like mindful awareness, emotional naming, and creative expression to help process and integrate loss. You’ll learn how to offer yourself and others grace, kindness, without judgment and how to access gratitude, even in difficult times.

  Participants will leave with tools to support themselves and others through grief, while creating space for healing and growth in both life and work.

• Maintaining Mental Fitness

  Mental health is just as essential as physical health, and like fitness, it requires consistent care. In this session, we explore what it truly means to maintain mentally fitness: having the emotional strength, flexibility, and self-awareness to navigate life’s challenges and enjoy its moments.

  You’ll learn how to recognize early signs of mental strain and burnout in yourself and others, from increased irritability and fatigue to withdrawal or lack of motivation. We’ll explore the core pillars of mental well-being, including emotional regulation, connection, purpose, rest, and joy. Yes, joy and play are not luxuries; they’re vital for a healthy mind.

  Backed by research, this session offers practical strategies to build mental fitness, such as mindfulness, meditation, and stress reduction tools that fit into busy lives. Whether you’re leading teams or supporting your own well-being, you’ll leave with accessible, sustainable practices to help you stay grounded, focused, and emotionally resilient.
