The growth and overall success of an organization is defined by its culture and leadership. A positive workplace culture enhances teamwork, collaboration and morale. As a result it boosts employee engagement, efficiency and retention.

This presentation will address the importance of creating an environment where ego battles aren’t driving the company down and where individuals are willing to put aside their own self-interest for the sake of the greater good. It encourages an environment where individuals are willing to appreciate the contributions of their co-workers instead of feeling threatened by them. The research on mindfulness and its application for the workplace will also be presented.

As a result of this keynote, the audience will be able to:

• Communicate with awareness, clarity and compassion
• Manage their emotions to handle conflicts
• Develop a positive mindset towards individuals they don’t see eye-to-eye with
• Express appreciation towards the work of their colleagues
• Utilize mindfulness breathing and focusing techniques to lower stress and improve productivity

Leaders set the tone and mood for the rest of the organization. To fully inspire and bring out the best from the workforce, leadership has to lead by example and “walk the talk.” They can’t say one thing and do another. To attract, engage and retain top talent, leaders need to create more human and employee-centered workplace environments.

This talk will address the importance for leadership of all levels to not only set the right example, but also, on a regular basis, appreciate the contributions of their workforce, communicate mindfully to encourage and inspire, lead with humility and without ego and manage their emotions. The research on mindfulness and its application for the workplace will also be presented.

After this keynote, participants will be able to:

• Improve their level of self-awareness
• Communicate mindfully and with compassion
• Lead with confidence combined with humility
• Better manage their emotions to remain calm during challenging situations
• Implement mindfulness techniques to reduce stress and improve focus and productivity

Change breaks us out of our comfort zone and disrupts our routine making us feel uncomfortable. The right attitude towards changes in the workplace can help build  resilience. Even though change is the most powerful thing that can happen to us, it can cause stress and anxiety and thus impact our performance and productivity.

Workplace stress is costing businesses over $300 billions dollars and is leading to absenteeism, turnover and increased healthcare costs. This talk will provide practice tips on how attendees can deal with change, improve their mental well-being and implement mindfulness techniques to reduce stress, anxiety, and enhance employee productivity.
