We are a dopamine/reward and cortisol/stress driven society!

It’s all about 100% achievement: All or Nothing-personal, business, cultural expectations, and rewards. So much of our thoughts, feelings, and actions are based on our beliefs, habits, perspectives, and fears. Where is this coming from?

We have access to endless motivational books and seminars, YouTube videos, fad diets, exercise programs and experts advice on how to realize our greatest dreams, the ideal job, and body type!

 

So why are obesity, chronic lifestyle diseases, chronic stress, job burnout, addiction, insomnia, loneliness, hopelessness, resignation, anxiety, and depression so prevalent in our society?

 

The first question is not what “plan to write or action we need to take?”

The first question is “What influencers are blocking us from achieving what we desire most in our health, at work and living life!”

 

KEYNOTE SEMINAR

"Are you Swimming, Treading Water and/or

Drowning in Health, Work and/or Life?”

1-hour introduction seminar or half/full day Team Building Workshop

 

We cannot separate Our Health, Our Work/Career and Our Personal Life!

This seminar is designed to maximize your success rate and gain a strong understanding of what has been holding you or your team back.

  What are you doing right and review your current vision and goals?

Accepting the same old routines and approaches expecting different results?  

Where are the areas you are seriously stressing and struggling…WHY without judgment.

 

The question we need to ask as individuals, couples, employees, leaders, parents, friends, groups and business owners are….Are you Swimming, Treading Water and/or Drowning?

First being aware of what is influencing us on a daily basis is the foundation of our long term success in achieving what we truly desire in our health, work, and life. From what we “Carry” with us (internal influences), what is surrounding us (Environmental and social influences), to our perspectives and the acceptance of these influences. 

Finally gaining an understanding of where you are today and why creates the starting point of habits that can impact you the most personally and professionally. Discover the direction you are ready to commit to and start the steps to long term success and fulfillment.

 

The important intention of this seminar.

 Identifying and the effect of our environments on individuals and the company culture.
