When faced with difficulty - what's the difference between leaders who succeed, and those that struggle? How do we position ourselves and our teams to not only survive - but THRIVE? As we continue to navigate the challenges big and small - let's stop to assess where we're at, and what we've learned. One thing is for sure - your current challenges aren't the first you've encountered - and they definitely won't be the last. In this experiential keynote, Trish will teach the keys to develop the mindset to thrive, no matter what life throws us. When you lead with the skills to thrive, your team thrives too, and become valuable assets for your company, helping you weather any storm that comes your way.

We live in an age of burnout. We are overwhelmed and underwhelmed at the same time, and it costs us productivity, motivation and the ability to enjoy our life and work. We can't avoid stress, but it can have serious implications on our happiness, productivity and efficiency. The good news is, stress does not have to rule our lives!

This experiential presentation explores the physiology of stress and challenges our narrow definition of success that can lead us to burnout.

We'll explore several simple and fast mindful techniques to integrate into your day to thrive in an age of burnout.

Popular opinion says if we work harder, longer hours that create more STRESS, we’ll be successful and that will make us, HAPPY. Significant research into success and happiness are CONCLUSIVE that this is simply backwards.

If you truly want your organization to be successful, it must start with happy employees. Because the well-being of your employees = the well-being of your business. The good news? Happier employees have a huge effect on the bottom line - who will treat your clients better - an unhappy employee or a happy one? Which employee will be more loyal?

Even when it seems like it’s out of our control, there are simple mindfulness techniques we can use to change the way we experience our work and the seemingly ever increasing stress. In this interactive presentation, Trish will make sense of mindfulness and teach simple, effective techniques to use NOW for more positivity and energy, less stress and burnout and overall better results at work. Trish will focus on small daily changes that make a big impact on our day to day stress in an environment where it may seem impossible.

Your brain at positive works significantly better than it does at negative, neutral or stressed. Your intelligence, creativity and energy levels RISE, and you spread positivity to those around you.

However, when faced with challenging world circumstances, stress and anxiety, how do you cultivate optimism without 'toxic positivity'?

Research tells us mindfulness is one of the best ways to develop hope and optimism even amidst our challenges. In this experiential presentation Trish will share simple mindfulness techniques to create a more optimistic mental state.

We’ll explore:
· The brain’s negativity bias and how to hardwire optimism without toxic positivity.
· A unique spin on a gratitude practice to help increase its effectivity and,
· A guided mindfulness experience that can help our brain create a positivity bias.

There are moments in life when we are challenged - what really defines us though, is the way we bounce back from adversity.

The biggest hurdle we have when it comes to bouncing back? Our brains are wired to focus on the negative! No wonder life can be so challenging! In this session we will explore the negativity bias of our brain. Why does our brain highlight the negative in life and how can we incorporate mindfulness practices to enhance the positive and create RESILIENCE. We’ll breakdown the three main ways to be more resilient, so we can not only experience challenges with more ease, but learn from them as well.

This session will include a breakdown of the how’s and why’s of mindfulness including one minute experiences of practice so attendees will walk away with the knowledge of how to practice themselves!

The term self-care is thrown around a lot but what does it actually mean (most importantly) to YOU?

In this interactive session participants will take time to focus on their own care and well-being.

What's working well? Where could you use some support?

We'll dig into these questions and more to help set you up to support yourself. Self-care is a buzzword, but it doesn't have to be complicated and can focus on what you ENJOY.

Participants will:
· Create their own definition of what self-care means to them.
· Evaluate their own self-care in 5 categories: physical, mental, emotional, spiritual and relational.
· Decide on a focal point for their self-care in the coming weeks/month.
· Learn some simple self-care activities that can support well-being.
· Learn a simple research-based process to set a self-care goal that is more likely to make the behavior stick.
· Evaluate barriers to their self-care behaviors and create a plan for success.

It can be easy to forget that mental health, just like our physical health, is a spectrum! We can thrive or we can struggle.

In this interactive session you'll learn how practicing mindfulness can help to manage two of the major threats to your mental health: stress and anxiety, and develop a sense of inner calm, no matter what life throws at you. You'll also learn how to increase the frequency of an optimistic state of mind - a true sign of mental health.

You'll practice a simple technique that can actually promote optimism as well as offer us perspective during the most difficult times we navigate in our lives.
