  Would you like to respond to everyday stressful situations with more poise and intention? Would you like to experience better awareness of your energy patterns? Would you like new ways to be able to re-center during the day? Reconnecting to our body and heart can inform and support us as we walk through our busy days. This highly interactive workshop will build awareness around how we each respond physically and emotionally to everyday stressful situations. For example, how our energy flows (or doesn’t), how consciously and intentionally we engage in the moment, an several ways to re-center daily while building awareness and conscious engagement.
  
  You will have greater awareness of your emotional and physical body, better understand your response to everyday pressures, and the key leadership skills and attributes they each embody.
  
  Great for individuals looking to identify their response patterns and tendencies, recognize triggers for their response patterns, connect these to their perception of the world and how others perceive them, and create an action plan for using this self-awareness to strengthen specific leadership skills and attributes.

  Stories are powerful and impactful when they are grounded in purpose.
  
  Do you struggle with pitching and selling your ideas whether internally as part of your team or as a consultant or solopreneur?
  
  This event is designed to help you unlock the power of your story and share it with clarity, authenticity, and conviction to achieve your purpose.
  
  In order to be able to share our stories with vulnerability, we first need to understand our mindset around sharing, pitching, and storytelling. Then, we need to elevate our beliefs and create a narrative that supports us in sharing our truth. Finally, we need a framework to make pitching and storytelling easy and playful.
  
  We are at our best when we are real, connected and attuned to others.
  
  If you are struggling with pitching and selling your ideas and/or services/products to your team, to key stakeholders, or to potential customers, this event is for you!

  In our “What Does the Bay Area Really Want” Panel conducted in May, we learned that one of skills the Bay Area would most like to learn is how to have difficult conversations especially with our managers. To address that need, Lorie Reichel-Howe, will teach us how to implement a Safe Conversation Communication Framework to respectfully and safely addressing issues that negatively impact the workplace relationships, employee engagement and career success.
  
  Strained working relationships result in lowered productivity, employee underperformance and negative workplace culture. When managers, teams and HR professionals engage in “safe conversations,” they can effectively address tough workplace issues quickly and confidently. Whether those issues be challenging team dynamics, mismanaged expectations or good old-fashioned bad behavior, this training will transform how you uncover and deal with hidden workplace issues. This program is not only valuable for Talent Development Professionals, but also the individuals we serve as it will help us all foster greater innovation, inclusion and collaboration by safely dialoguing about behaviors that hinder success.
