Limitless Leadership: Silencing The L.I.E.s & The B.S.
Most people have suffered childhood wounds that we have hid, suppressed, or denied. Some of them are subconscious. All of them block us from becoming who we are meant to be. This presentation will help us come face to face with the LIEs we tell ourselves. The limited ideas entertained. The stories we tell ourselves about who we are that hold us back from who we are meant to be.
This presentation will empower participants to identify and analyze how their limiting beliefs and negative self-image affect their leadership potential, understand the relationship between their emotions, thoughts, values, and behaviors, and teach self-care techniques to reduce stress, burnout and prepare them to be the leader their organization needs them to be.
This presentation isn't for everyone. You will have to take a risk and come face to face with your inner critic. The voice inside your head that doubts you, judges you, belittles you, and tells you that you aren't good enough. But the LIEs aren't true. We are going to replace the LIEs with what is true about you. You are worthy, and You are more than enough.
Learning objectives:
Participants will name their limiting beliefs and identify their roots.
Participants will learn affirmations to become their true selves.
Step into the healing power you posses and make an impact.
Participants will be educated on self-care strategies to be renewed physically and mentally.

Identify, Inquire, Intervene
1 in 5 Americans are affected by mental illness. Knowing the warning signs of common conditions and taking action early leads to the best outcome. Sadly, only half of people experiencing mental health conditions get help. Mental health stigma is a huge barrier. It takes an entire community to battle the stigmas of mental illness
Untreated mental health conditions take a heavy toll, often leaving people feeling lost, alone and disconnected in the workplace. Awareness starts with educating your organization on mental health first aid, to learn the techniques to support coworkers in need. By encouraging ourselves and others who are suffering from mental illness to speak up, we can create a culture of recovery.
Learning objectives:
Learn to observe and
identify
the warning signs and changes in your coworker’s behavior or performance.
Learn how to
inquire
and assess your coworker's issues and whether any additional steps need to be taken.
Learn how to
intervene
and refer your coworker to the help that they need.

Extreme Mental Health Makeover: A Guide to Mental Wellness in the Workplace
We are seeing that mental health is a predictor of overall wellbeing. Stress and poor mental health can contribute to several debilitating physical issues from diabetes to hypertension. Employees who are highly stressed and mentally ill will burn-out. Personally, and professionally they will suffer. The company’s bottom line will suffer too. When infected by a toxic company culture, poor leadership, and little support the organization is contagious and will make their people sick!
A company cannot cure a problem if they do not know the cause. To diagnose a workplace mental health issue a good leader will get to the source. When the performance of a company is congested, and the mental health and well being of its employees flatline, then the organization needs C.P.R.
Learning objectives:
Connection
– Employers should consider peer groups to connect employees. By emphasizing their importance, it reduces the stigma and encourages employees to open up about their issues. Employees who feel connected, care!
Protection
– A good leader should model self-care, vulnerability, and empathy, Mental health should be talked about openly. An authentic leader is encouraging and values listening as a skill. Employees who feel protected, perform!
Redirection
– Realigning your policies and practices are necessary when they're causing mental health issues. Setting expectations keeps people from being stressed and burned-out. It's a message of support for employees. Be flexible with deadlines, schedules, and time off. Employees who feel directed, deliver!
