Defying Burnout & Thriving Through Change

Sophie’s “Defying Burnout” workshop is a fascinating journey into the science of burnout as well as sharing her personal experience with the debilitating syndrome.

In the one hour session Sophie helps participants understand and identify the difference between anxiety and stress and full blown burnout.

She also outlines how to recognise the early signs of clinical burnout. If left untreated, burnout can have a serious impact on your health and affect your heart, digestion, immune system, mood and cognitive abilities.

Breaking down the latest research into easy to understand and engaging language was a hallmark of Sophie’s extensive career as an award-winning medical reporter. Calm Commit & Connect©

This unique program grew from Sophie’s personal experience of overcoming burnout. Using the latest neuroscience on burnout, she went on to design the Calm Commit and Connect© program to help others improve their emotional state, regulate their nervous system in times of stress and enhance their cognitive and creative abilities.

At the recent Workplace Wellness Festival her solutions-focused approach was praised as “...having helped so many people, providing insights and information they can use in their personal lives and to implement in their workplaces." - Tania Arlington Director WWF.

Participants in Sophie’s workshop leave armed with a raft of practical techniques that can be done anywhere, anytime to help foster greater resilience, calmness and an ability to maintain individual peak performance states.

Peak Leadership Performance & The Neuroscience To Achieve It.

Sophie’s “Peak Leadership Performance” workshop is a practical exploration into how leaders and managers can better manage their own mindset and in doing so, maximise the potential of their entire team.

Created around the latest neuroscience, the session explains how to embed new leadership habits and in doing so, provide managers and their teams with the psychological flexibility needed to deal with setbacks, changes and high-pressure environments.

Sophie explains the evidenced-based value of building a growth mindset in your team by celebrating progress, not perfection, encouraging personal and professional growth by listening and embracing people’s strengths.

In the 1 hour session, Sophie teaches participants simple and highly effective techniques to enhance focus and be creative about developing solutions.

Simple practical activities help you increase prefrontal cortex capacity (which governs planning and decision making) and how to turn on the default mode network when you need a creativity boost.

Sophie also unlocks another secret of peak performance by explaining when and how to measure your daily cognitive energy cycle and how to manage your tasks around it.

With a social media following of more than 60 thousand people Sophie’s techniques have helped people around the world, both in their personal and professional lives.

Communicating With Impact

Communicating with impact is one of today’s most sought-after skills and as a specialist broadcast medical reporter for more than 20 years, it is a skill Sophie Scott OAM has mastered.

By simplifying complexity, eliminating unnecessary jargon and applying the power of storytelling, Sophie’s work has resulted in legislative and societal changes that led to her receiving an Order of Australia Medal for service to the broadcast media and community health.

Leaders in their fields, be it science or finance, are in a unique position to use their knowledge to educate, inspire and create change, but some fear taking that step into the spotlight.

In her Communicating With Impact keynote, Sophie explains how to overcome this fear and how the latest science on the art of storytelling is the key to becoming a great communicator.

Sophie takes the audience through a range of simple, practical techniques to overcome self-limiting beliefs often preventing people becoming the communicator they’ve always wanted to be.

If you want to be heard, listened to and create meaningful change, Sophie’s years of award winning experience will help get you there.
