Energy REBOOT: The missing link to workplace productivity and peak performance

(Also available as a fun, fast, interactive “Reboot Quiz Show” format)

Feeling overworked, overwhelmed, and exhausted? Instead of searching for a productivity tool or better time management, address the issues at their source with a science-backed Energy REBOOT.

Energy drives everything – focus, motivation, and performance. When people learn how to generate more energy in this human “machine”, they become more productive without feeling completely exhausted.

In this fast-paced, interactive keynote, Dr. Jo uses scientific research from her review of over 1000 medical studies to offer real-life solutions that ignite professionals to initiate and model proven strategies for mastering peak performance without risking burnout.

After the program attendees will be able to:

  • Articulate how the body and brain generate the energy needed to function at a high level for long periods of time
  • Demonstrate practical strategies to sustain concentration, focus, and stamina in order to improve productivity and prevent burnout
  • Spark change within their work environment by sharing stories of how other organizations have successfully made these shifts

 

Fighting Fatigue in the Workplace

With tighter budgets and reduced staff today’s employees are working harder, faster, and longer than ever before. While technology and time management techniques make it easier to do more with less, the constant pressure of excessive workloads ultimately results in fatigue and burnout.

Fortunately, a bit of prevention can go a long way and result in significant benefits to both the company and those who work for it.

Attendees will leave this keynote with:

  • An understanding of the real costs related to fatigue in terms of accidents, errors, absenteeism, and loss of productivity
  • Three practical strategies to prevent and counter fatigue during the workday
  • Real life examples of companies that have successfully reduced fatigue in the workplace

 

(These two are often presented as a 2-part program)

Eye of the Storm: Building Resilience

When chaos swirls around you like a hurricane, do you get swept up in those winds or manage to stay more grounded than most? In this hands-on program, Dr. Jo helps clients find their individual path to personal and professional resilience

Into the Storm: Transformational Solutions to Stress

While stress is often perceived as a two-step process (it happens and we respond), there are actually five specific steps that flow from one to another. In part two, participants learn how to interrupt/change each of these steps in order to transform negative stress into positive outcomes.

Afterward, attendees will be able to:

  • Define stress in terms of positive and negative implications
  • Practice three coping strategies for managing their stressors
  • Describe the five steps in the stress cycle and one way to interrupt/change each of these steps

Attendees will:

  • Identify their true stressors
  • Discover their personal priorities
  • Practice strategies to help them stay focused at work ?and let it go when they leave
  • Create steps to smooth the transition from work ?to home (one of the most stressful periods)

 

What Every Woman Wants:

Great legs, More Energy, and Peace of Mind

Feeling frumpy, frazzled, and fatigued? It’s no wonder! The average woman is working full-time both at work and at home. Finding the energy to “have it all” is a constant challenge.
