What issues are you struggling with?

Executives and leaders come to me for many reasons:
- They are juggling too many priorities and feel overwhelmed;
- They are working long hours, but still aren't meeting their goals;
- They don't have a healthy work-life balance;
- They are struggling with perfectionism or an inability to delegate; and/or
- They are regularly feeling frustrated, irritable, depressed, or anxious about their ever-increasing workload.
If you struggle with the same issues, you are not alone. A recent survey indicates that over 90% of the U.S. workforce is feeling stressed and overwhelmed.
I can help! I've spent 25 years in stress research and mental health. I use a research-based, proprietary system to help you learn how to re-structure your schedule, set boundaries, and put key habits and healthy behaviors in place in order to take back control of your time and your life. This program can be structured in any way that fits your needs -- individual or group coaching, training, workshop, facilitated team retreat, and so on.

The data and debate around the great resignation can be boiled down to two questions: 1) What's causing it, and 2) What can be done about it? The answer to the first question - probably to no one's surprise - seems to be burnout.
But stress research can provide answers to the second question: what do we do about it?
You will learn:
- The stress continuum (and how to tell where you are on the continuum);
- The signs of severe burnout and how they impact employee fit for duty;
- Personal strategies to coping with stress and burnout; and
- Organizational strategies to reduce burnout in their workforce.
Program Duration:
Can be delivered as a 45-minute keynote or a 90-120 minute workshop. Can be combined with other topics for longer workshops or retreats.
Many who work in caregiving professions do so because they – and this will sound completely obvious – care. Compassion is their jam. It brings them immense joy.
But compassion can and does get depleted under certain circumstances. Caring for others can drain our own physical and emotional strength. We feel spent and cynical. We have a hard time empathizing or caring about our patients, co-workers, and even our loved ones.
What can we do about compassion fatigue? How do we build trust? Where do we start? You will learn:
- The signs and symptoms of compassion fatigue and how they impact employee fit for duty;
- Research-based strategies for individuals to manage the three main contributors to compassion fatigue; and
- Organizational strategies to prevent compassion fatigue and reduce burnout in the workforce.

"Me? Stressed? Never!"
Let's be honest. Very few of us are lucky enough to say this. In fact, research studies show that 9 out of every 10 workers in the United States are experiencing significant workplace stress. Burnout rates have recently doubled and worker engagement levels have plummeted.
Chronic stress affects our physical and mental health. But it also significantly impacts organizations in terms of low productivity, absenteeism, and presenteeism.
Want to do something about it?
You will:
- Learn a 3-part stress management model based on neuroscience and stress research;
- Discuss the daily health habits that reduce stress, prevent burnout, and promote well-being;
- Assess thinking patterns that may create more stress in your work and relationships;
- Apply the research model to improve work relationships and key work processes;
- Create an action plan to make long-term, practical, and sustainable changes.
Program Duration (Average):
Can be delivered as a 45-minute keynote or 90-240 minute workshop. Can be combined with other topics for longer workshops or retreats.
When life knocks us down, there are two brain tools that help us to pick ourselves back up: grit and resilience. In psychological terms, resilience describes our emotional health. It's our ability to bounce back from challenges and the emotional strength we use to overcome crisis and failure. Grit, on the other hand, describes the mindset we use to persevere through challenges, crises, and failure.
These two brain tools work hand in hand. When life knocks us down, resilience gives us the emotional strength we need to get back on our feet. Grit is what makes us decide to get back up, brush ourselves off, and keep going.
You will:
- Review four key elements for building grit and resilience;
- Learn a fail-proof method for succeeding at your goals;
- Discern the secret of staying resilient during times of crisis;
- Discover the ten most powerful emotions to promote emotional wellbeing; and
- Determine how to find your true passion and purpose.

What creates focus? When using a camera or a pair of binoculars, it’s the lens that converges light rays on the right target. But some lenses are better than others -- crystal clear lenses sharpen our focus while blurry lenses only cloud up the view.
Likewise, some mental "lenses" you and I use in work and life will help us stay focused on the personal or professional goals we have set for ourselves. If these goals remain in sharp focus, then our actions will move us closer to the life we want. Using blurry "lenses," on the other hand, will cause us to stumble further away.
You will:
- Review the five best practices to focus on your most important life goals and manage your time accordingly;
- Learn four steps to translate work and life goals into a detailed action plan;
- Discover how to overcome the internal urges or external forces that distract from your goals; and
- Learn practical tools to manage some major distractions at work, like email and meetings.
Program Duration:

Organizational change can be stressful because it creates uncertainty.
Leaders will explore key organizational psychology principles to reduce resistance and gain support for their initiatives. Based on these principles, they will create individual action plans to lead their organizations successfully through change.
You will:
- Review research findings about the stress of change;
- Discuss how to support teams through change;
- Identify obstacles (e.g.,"What if we don't agree?"); and
- Discover strategies to overcome those obstacles.
