Empathy in Action
Employed properly, empathy is simple and yet so powerful. Many times we get this wrong because we want to fix, change, rescue, or problem solve. This workshop will help you to get it right.

In addition, they will learn strategies to employ empathy, the questions to ask, how to improve relations, and help you be a more productive team member or effective leader.

The Power of Positive Intelligence
Your mind can be your best friend or worst enemy. With Positive Intelligence, you can improve the percentage of time your mind is serving you rather than sabotaging you. Although IQ and EQ also contribute to reaching maximum potential, it is PQ that determines how much of that potential you actually achieve. PQ can be improved over time, having a significant impact on your ability to lead and inspire others. Higher PQ leaders and teams perform 30-35% better on average and report being happier and less stressed. This program will help you identify, and manage, the saboteurs that keep you from all that you can be.
Recognizing and Managing Burnout
This interactive workshop will focus on identifying, managing, and preventing burnout for both employees and leaders. We will explore best practices for addressing burnout, ways to minimize its effects, and suggested recommendations on how to prevent burnout in the future. We will explore how to interpret our physical and mental stress, deepen our awareness of how stress plays a role in the workplace, and how work erodes our well-being (if we’re not careful!). Participants will be provided with proven strategies that help effectively manage internal stress.
Resiliency Skills
Resiliency, the ability to respond to or recover readily from a crisis or difficult and disruptive situation, is essential for personal and professional development. Attendees will be given a brief overview of the science of resilience and will learn how to respond in the moment with gratitude, mindfulness, and values-based goals.
