Influencing with Energy, Connection & Mental Health Well-Being
In order to connect well with others, we must first take time to connect with ourselves…which allows us to lead from a place of well-being.
Effective leadership is often referred to as a dance that flows well. This energizing experience uses a leadership-dance metaphor and “The Challenge Game” to illustrate positive leadership influence.
Discover striking trends in the U.S. as Dr. Rita shares her current research on mental health well-being and workplace flexibility. Improve mental health well-being through the lens of the Person-Environment Fit Theory.
Simply Engaging!
75 Min.
The Art of Self Discovery
Every effective leader must be able to lead oneself.
In a world of technology, hectic lives, and non-stop input, each of us needs time to discover our own needs and direction.
This “Experience” uses a strength assessment, team-building, writing, and music to discover the beauty in yourself and understand your value.
75 Min.
Getting in the Zone
Knowing what you want is profound.
Yet, knowing is not enough. “Doing” is momentous. So how does one move from knowing to doing?
This “Experience” demonstrates the importance of “making space” in order to be in the zone and focusing more on the solution than the problem.
75 Min.
The Gift of Determination
Why do so many people give up before finishing the race?
Crossing the finish line builds confidence, increases positive influence, and often includes a tangible reward. Certainly, little steps in the right direction create momentum.
During this “Experience”, you will take a grit test, encounter challenges, and learn you either give up or get help.
75 Min.
The Power of Words & Pictures
Words have tremendous power.
The right choice of words can be inspiring, healing, and the fuel for understanding. The wrong choice of words can lead to misunderstandings and power struggles.
This “Experience” offers a road map to use words with intention and communicate in the “Wellness Lane” not the “Crash Lane.”
75 Min.
The Dynamic of the Senses
Pleasing sensations invoke happy endorphins.
This “Experience” offers a time of renewal, calmness, and creativity. See, taste, smell, touch, and hear their influence in “iCreate: The Dynamic of the Senses”.
Learn what autonomy, “Design Thinking”, and the incubation period have to do with creativity.
75 Min.
The Humor Value
Did you know laughter strengthens your immune system, decreases the effects of negative stress, and elevates your mood?
This “Experience” uses stories and (kind) pranks to engage your “funny bone”.
75 Min.
Dance, Language, & the Unknown
Learning is growth.
Building skills can create new direction in your lives. This “Experience” will teach you a new dance, some language skills, etiquette, common knowledge, and the “unknown”.
75 Min.
The Power of Thoughts
Thoughts can anchor our position.
Want better position? Think elevated thoughts. Distorted thinking activates the “crazy, crazy cycle”.
Your belief influences your actions, and your actions influence your thinking. Expect the harvest…and the challenges along the way! (Not everyone plays the game of life by the rules.)
75 Min.
Relationship Building & the Art of Conversation
Being intentional about relationship building is key to establishing meaningful connections in your personal and professional lives.
The iDiscover “Experience” offers strategies for listening, conversation, and recruitment. You will learn how to influence connection and grasp what helps people make changes through a variety of hands-on experiences that encourage value, hope, and “fit”. Everyone has a story. Your ability to understand someone else’s story is powerful.
75 Min.
The Self Care Pause
What happens when things don’t go as expected?
The tendency is to experience stress, anxiety, and tightness in the body. At that point, BREATHE. The practice of mindfulness is a pause to examine who you are, explore our perspective of a situation, and cultivate gratitude for the moment you are living. The iBreathe “Experience” incorporates mindfulness and intentionality which is counter to automatic reactions that increase stress. Be kind to your mind and body and learn practices for joy, contentment, and balance.
