Supportive Communication and Deep Listening for Leaders
This training equips leaders with communication skills that build and nurture relationships. Leaders shape the culture and psychological safety of their teams and organizations and make a big impact on wellbeing and engagement of the people they lead.
In this training, participants will learn how to listen and communicate so that the other person feels truly heard, understood, and supported. Deep, meaningful interactions are enriching for both the person being supported as well as the person listening and supporting. Through engaging stories and examples, I'll share practical skills and tips such as reflecting, validating, and emotional intelligence and vocabulary.
Anxiety Is Personal
With 1 in 5 people suffering from anxiety disorders, we seem to be in an anxiety crisis. We try therapy, yoga, meditation, books, diet, physical exercises, and medications to treat anxiety. When the treatment and interventions don't work, we move on to the next one we can try. Many times, we are able to "manage" anxiety, meaning we get to carry on with our days meeting most of our responsibilities at work and school despite how we are feeling inside.
Too often, we miss the mark when it comes to treating anxiety. It's not anxiety that needs treatment. Anxiety is only a symptom caused by what is going on deeper inside, the complex human being that is you. Anxiety is personal. Trying to treat and manage anxiety without looking deeper inside is like trying to treat a cavity with painkillers.
This keynote explores why anxiety is personal and the steps we can take to help ourselves and our loved ones free themselves from anxiety.
