THE KEYS TO STAYING STRONG DURING ANY CHALLENGE
This is a uniquely difficult time for leaders and individual contributors in workplaces all over America. We have been dealing with the effects of battling a deadly pandemic for over two years (and counting), there are deep divisions that have been exposed within our country, parents are overwhelmed as they balance their careers with raising their kids in this exhausting new reality, employees are feeling increased anxiety as they return to on-site work, and according to recent studies, Americans are the unhappiest they have been in the past 50 years. Needless to say, navigating all of the aforementioned challenges can have a significant impact on one’s overall well-being, mental health and resilience. The Unstoppable Resilience™ keynote provides the audience with the highly-practical strategies to build unshakable strength within themselves and within their teams.

Creating and sustaining a culture of equity, diversity and belonging can be challenging and exhausting work.

The highly-engaging Courageous Civility™ keynote provides the audience with the key tools, strategies, and information necessary to engage in this important work, while also ensuring that the commitment to this work remains long after the keynote ends.
