Presentations
Domino Dilemma
What is it that knits your group together? This activity based presentation is built on years working with groups of all shapes and sizes who are working to connect in a more positive, productive and impactful way. This highly interactive program is ideal for corporations, associations, church groups and women's groups looking to build connections and grow together as a group.
Depression, Anxiety and Resilience
Depression and Anxiety both suck the life right out of you. Where once you felt like a vibrant, contributing member of society, you look around now and feel isolated, worthless and afraid. What in the HECK happened, and more importantly, how on earth do you get out of it? How do you use the skills and resources you already have to address this not so uncommon issue?
Self Care for the Post (?) Pandemic World
Is it over or not? It's still unclear. And we continue to look for ways to take care of ourselves and those around us. In this day and age of constant change, high stakes and higher expectations, stress is it's own pandemic. Step away for a moment in this session that allows participants to design a practical and actionable plan for taking care of themselves in this crazy and ever changing world.
