Unexpected changes. “Stuff” hitting the fan.   Life, both personally and professionally = constant change, with crazy and unpredictable ups and the downs, particularly right now. How you deal with this ever-changing high stress world is completely up to you.  Change is certain. But growth and progress are not. Do you learn, grow, evolve and stretch or do you stay stuck when unexpected change and challenges knock the wind out of you?  In this authentic, inspiring, high energy session, Kim will share her own punch-in-the-gut moments and how to unlock the keys to conquer change and roll with the punches in life.  The Keys to ROCK Your Change will be unveiled, providing you the tools you need to get up, grit up and rock any change that is thrown your way and to be able to effectively lead others through change.

(NOTE:  This program can be tailored to focus on adapting and ROCKING change as a leader, as a team and/or as an organization.) 

In this constantly changing, high stress world, life is anything but balanced.  It’s more like a colossal collision between the thousands of things pulling at your time – the demands of work, home and everything in between – leading to overwhelm, stress and burnout.  

In this interactive, energetic, laugh out loud program, Kim will share her own raw, inspiring and humorous lessons learned about “balancing” the chaos of life through the demands of being a wife, mother, cancer and life thriver, serial entrepreneur, passionate volunteer as well as the dozens of other hats she wears.  Kim will  have you shed the "work-life balance" mentality and shift your focus to creating a "work-life blend" that works for you.  

You will learn the Keys To “Resign As General Manager of the Universe” and leave with practical, immediately actionable strategies to reduce stress, overwhelm and burnout; boost your resilience and take control of your health and your life - a life where you are thriving - instead of simply surviving.

Program Outcomes:

You will leave knowing:

• Key techniques and simple mindset shifts you can use to reduce stress, burnout and overwhelm and boost your resilience
• How to put yourself first, protect your time and energy, set boundaries, say NO without guilt, prioritize, delegate and focus on what really matters
• Proven strategies to maintain a positive attitude, maximize your energy, create more focus, and become more present, productive, engaged and connected

Change is certain – the pandemic reinforced that.  But communicating change effectively is not.  Often when dealing with change, communicating the change is where the breakdown occurs.  A disconnect may occur between those who are pushing for change and everyone else.  Resistance to change keeps people stuck, creates stress and stifles growth and productivity.  And people resist what they don’t understand. For leaders to successfully navigate change, communication and engagement with those affected are critical in order to reduce drama, stress and misunderstanding.  In this engaging session, you will learn proven, easy to implement strategies on how to effectively communicate, connect and create the momentum needed for success when facing change – whether you are the one pushing for the change or the one having change “happen” to you. 

Program Outcomes:

• How to effectively deal with the naysayers, resisters and challengers to the change, turning resistance into understanding
• How to be more confident when leading through change
• How to create Change Catalysts instead of Change Resisters by focusing on the 3 C’s of Change:  Communication, Connection and Collaboration

(Note:  This program can be tailored for leadership, leadership teams, sales teams, etc.)

Connection is the heartbeat of life and leadership - especially during uncertain times.   The reality is that connecting, motivating and leading your people through the pace of change that we will continue to see - can be a challenge to say the least.  Overwhelm, stress, burnout, too much to do, competing priorities, stresses of home, work and everything in between. Lack of focus, energy and motivation.  The reality is that ongoing change and  uncertainty for this sustained period of time is taking a toll on you and your people.     

As a leader, how you show up during this ever-changing high stress pandemic and post-pandemic world matters.  Your people need you now more than ever before.  In this engaging session, Kim will share keys to build resilient leadership so that you can effectively connect, motivate, and boost the resilience of others during this stressful time when the workplace continues to change and looks different for everyone.
