  • How to Get Along With Difficult People - Learn the Marigold Principle and How You Can Uplift the Work Environment
The Discomfort Zone: Learn how to ride into DISCOMFORT ZONE!  We often avoid difficult conversations or situations thinking they will just go away. NOT!  We must instead run towards what makes us uncomfortable to become confident we can face any challenge from work, relationships, parenting, and life!   We will learn how to practice active listening, discuss why we should make stress our friend and how to then channel that energy to benefit employees, relationships, challenges, and accomplish goals.  Life?  You've got this!
Participants Will Learn:
  • How to communicate clearly to avoid conflicts 
  • Why the discomfort zone is where growth occurs
  • How to Create an I-Message for effective communication - we will practice this! 
  • How body language, attitudes, social media and even zoom behavior can influence positive communication 
Chins Up, Smiles On!:  It's not about how many times you fall.  It is about how many times you get up again. Join this fun and interactive presentation to learn how to manage stress before it manages you.  Many people believe stress is a negative in our lives.  In actuality, stress is meant to protect us, energize us, and help us reach beyond what we think we are capable of achieving.        
  • Participants will learn functions of the brain and how stress can be beneficial to our lives, body, and spirit.
  • Participants will learn how to appropriately manage stress so they can be fully present at the workplace or the classroom.
  • Participants will learn how their attitudes and actions can either positively or negatively affect co-workers and customers.
  • Participants will learn healthy lifestyles by using the S.E.L.F.I.E. method (sleep, nutrition, social, emotional) so they can be emotionally resilient. 
  •   (for longer keynotes:) Participants will learn the Marigold Principle and  the importance of healthy relationships  and how  they increase our social and emotional resilience
