This session explores ways to create engagement, both virtual and live, that will benefit your work, your teams, your organization, and also your family, your friends, and loved ones.

Wouldn’t it be better to find ways to be more present in online meetings and to create in others this engaged presence?

Engagement is a superpower and spending time learning how to create it offers value that just keeps on giving.

Confident Leadership and Beyond

I’ve spent my life walking into stressful rooms where I wanted to do magnificent things but I found it hard to do normal things, like breathe. Have you had that experience? This session demonstrates how to go from “I can’t breathe” to “I’m regularly doing magnificent things.”

Using techniques honed from decades of acting, combined with new science about how to best be human and a dash of current engagement strategies, Pressure Cooker Confidence, explores how to create internal power in moments where humans typically feel powerless. Learning to create internal power has massive benefits for the individual. It also creates benefits in the organizations where these individuals work.

We focus on creating your own personal list of rules to guide better behavior and motivate transformation in your life and at work. 

A pandemic (or any crisis) only makes the ability to create internal power more important. 

Learning Objectives:

• Learn and apply Roger’s Rules: Own the Room, Fight to Be Positive, Get Comfortable Being Uncomfortable.
• Understand the science behind how your brain works while under extreme stress and gain tips and tricks to overcome fear, anxiety, and nervousness.
• Learn to be a bigger, better, more powerful version of yourself while under stress.

Takeaways:

• Roger’s Rules turned into YOUR rules
• Find the power within yourself to tackle the hardest-to-change behaviors and attitudes
• Become ’the me you want to be’

“Play is our brain’s favorite way of learning.” – Diane Ackerman

I’m on a mission to take play out of the gutter and put it into the spotlight where it belongs. While we say that we honor play, the proof is in our actions. And when important things need to be discussed and decided, play is sent outside to the playground while the adults stay inside to do the important work. That attitude needs to be turned on its head and this session does exactly that.

Learn how central to human existence play is. Learn what happens to humans when we discard play. Learn how to achieve your goals using playfulness as a guide. And do all that while playing to learn about play… which is truly the best way to learn from humans.

After this surprisingly profound session, people often come up to me with tears in their eyes as they talk about their conflicted relationship to play and how they now will act differently with their children, their spouse and/or their colleagues. Play is transformative. Play is revolutionary. And this revolutionary, transformative power is waiting for you, your family, your friends, your teams, your organization…

Learning Objectives:

• Gain tangible strategies to help incorporate play and a playful mindset into the most important aspects of work and life
• Design your work environment, training sessions, and meetings to increase knowledge retention, encourage creativity, promote wellness, and much more
• Learn to reverse society’s concept of play so that you can use play to create power.
• Discuss successful case studies where play made all the difference.

This session looks at what engagement is, why we want it, and how to CREATE engagement. This session walks the talk: it not only discusses engagement but also demonstrates how to create it at work and in your life.

In the 90’s, engagement was a fuzzy, feel good term that really meant very little. Flash forward to the present and, luckily, things have changed. Engagement can be measured and the results are staggering.

Data from Gallup, Harvard, 2018 Global Trends in Engagement, etc show how a little focus on engagement can turbocharge bottom-line results, whether those results are increased productivity, increased profit, better communication, stronger team bonds, better learning and retention etc…

Engagement is the secret sauce that makes your work and life magic. Participants will walk away with tangible tools that will inspire them to be more productive, creative, and successful in their work.

Learning Objectives:

• Learn why engagement is so powerful and why we want it all through our lives and work.
• Understand how to create and promote active participation in your teams, organization and life.
• Discover how to be more engaging and harness this power for improved creativity, productivity, and bottom-line results at work and in your life.

Networking can fill our heart with dread. I invent new ways of sweating when it comes to networking situations and I don’t think I’m the only one.

Wouldn’t it be better if you could magnetize people to you? So that when you walk into a room without any colleagues or friends present, you are still able to have the best time and thus attract others to you? This is why I wrote this session. I have taken all the good and bad experiences I have collected over 28 years of being paid to create engagement within groups of strangers and summarized them in this talk to help you become better at networking.

Creating magnetic communication usually means changing the way you think about these situations. And then creating rules or guidelines to help you stay on track.

This session outlines Roger’s Rules for creating magnetic communication which leads to magnetic engagement which leads to you being far happier and more effective when connecting with others in these situations. Which makes networking and communication much more valuable for you and your organization.

Learning Objectives:

• Create Rules that guide you towards more magnetic communication
• Drive into your body the reality that “the more fun you have, the more fun THEY have!”
• Learn tips and techniques that turn networking and connecting with strangers from fearful to fun.
