Staying Right Side Up When
Achieving Excellence in Challenging Times Everything is Upside Down
It is absolutely possible to achieve excellence when the world around you seems to be falling apart – IF you know the secrets. In this fast paced, fun program, Linda will give participants practical ways to light their own fire of excellence and motivate themselves to take positive, consistent action when they just want to give up. Attendees will learn what the most successful, effective people throughout history have all known and consciously applied. They will leave knowing:
1. How to acknowledge and enhance skills they already have.
2. How to recognize, own and change behaviors that don’t serve them.
3. How to stay level, calm and professional when their instincts make them want to scream.
4. How to communicate effectively to resolve differences.
5. How to take 100% responsibility for the interpretations they place on situations, circumstances and other people’s actions.
YOU! Super Hero! Super Star! Super Exhausted!
(This high energy, fun session is particularly well suited for people in the healthcare and service industries, and for all women’s groups)
With all of life’s fast-paced, high stress demands it becomes very easy to put ourselves rock-bottom last on our own “to-do” list.
And the result? Compromised health, exhaustion, frustration, strained relationships, depression, guilt, and acute crankiness. In this incredibly funny, fast-paced and potentially life saving session, attendees will learn practical, doable strategies that they can immediately put to use to bring more focus, mental acuity, good health and happiness into their lives. They will recognize what they have been repeatedly doing (with the best of intentions) that adds to their stress levels, and how to proactively change those behaviors. They will also leave knowing:
1. The number one thing most people do AUTOMATICALLY (many times a day) that takes them to the breaking point – and how to stop it!
2. One powerful technique to help them shift their emotional state from cranky and irritable to peaceful and relaxed within minutes
3. How to say “no” without feeling guilty – in such a way that actually BUILDS relationships rather than compromises them
4. Why “the pursuit of happiness” is not only a worthwhile goal – but a potentially life saving one as well.
5. How to turn “shark-infested waters” into gentle pools of happy angel fish (or… how to turn cranky people into happy ones!)

1. How to create a personal vision for their life that gives them enthusiasm, passion and commitment.
2. Why people get locked in to behaviors that don’t serve them and how to overcome that propensity.
3. How to get in, and stay in the driver’s seat of their life.
4. How to use their thinking to create the exact emotions, behaviors, and results that they choose.

Play to Win
It’s Not Your Mother’s Playground Anymore
The rules in business today have changed. And yes, you can break the rules if you choose, but first you must know what they are. In this workshop participants will learn the different ways that men and women approach situations and how they can adapt to meet challenges and solve problems effectively. They will investigate how, as women, they can position themselves for success – and actually strengthen relationships with others at the same time. Additionally they will learn:
1. 25 distinct differences in how men and women think and behave.
2. How to ask for what they want in a way that works!
3. Specific communication techniques that are a MUST when communicating with the opposite sex.
4. 3 common mistakes most women make and how to avoid them.
5. 7 keys to enjoying healthy competition.
6. Which nonverbal body language undermines your message and which supports it.
