Growth Mindset - A Not-So-Secret Trait to Unlock Creativity and Opportunity, February 25, 2021

How we think about situations can change from negative to positive, and having a growth mindset sets the stage for creativity and opportunity. Individuals who believe their talents can be developed through hard work, good strategies, and input from others have a growth mindset; these individuals tend to achieve more than those with a more fixed mindset. Having a growth mindset often drives people towards learning and growth opportunities, leading to more success in all aspects of their lives. What's more, when entire companies embrace a growth mindset, their employees report feeling far more empowered and committed; they also receive far greater organizational support for collaboration and innovation. Learn what a growth mind set is and, more importantly, how to develop one for yourself and encourage others to embrace their own growth mindset.

Resiliency - Staying Strong in Challenging Times, March 23, 2021

When a flight attendant instructs passengers to “put your own oxygen mask on before helping others in the event of an emergency," that is what resiliency is all about. You can better help others when you have first taken care of your own needs. Knowing that life is full of ups and downs and being able to quickly bounce back and dust yourself off during the downtimes is not always easy, but one can learn and practice steps that build resiliency. The need to stay strong, positive, and solution-focused is always important, but more so in these challenging times. This session will focus on practical ways to understand and build your personal resiliency so that you can take on whatever comes your way.

Developing a Personal Brand, April 20, 2021

Whether it is intentional or not, we all have a personal brand, so why not cultivate a strong one? Your personal brand speaks to who you are and what others expect from you. Having a strong personal brand is more likely to lead to positive opportunities and outcomes. Embracing what makes you unique and enabling others to view you in a positive light helps build a positive reputation and lasting impact at your organization. What do you want to be known for?
