Laugh Your Glass Half Full:  Activating optimism in spite of pervasive pessimism 

Have you and your team reached ZOOM DOOM? Are you feeling a bit rusty on relationship skills, a little crunchy on communication concepts and pooped-out on positivity?

Hard-Core Soft-Skills are the super ninja power tools for the Tetris-landscape we are now navigating.

During this entertaining and interactive program, participants will work on Motivation, Communication, and Self-Confidence to help manage the next several months of “virtual reality.”

These are the tools your team needs to help increase engagement, create communication cohesion, and elevate self-confidence, for leadership and life.

Tami will help your team laugh their glass half full, and set everyone on a renewed path for a happier, healthier, and more productive journey!

Lights, Camera, Lead: Connection, engagement, and success in our new virtual world

It is no secret that things are not “business as usual” these days, however, a happy workplace is imperative to success and longevity.

How do you remain positive AND professional AND six feet apart?

Now more than ever, your team and your clients need connection. Connection creates culture, and a positive culture creates engagement and confidence. The fastest way to connect, especially virtually, is through levity. Levity equals lightness – of mind, character, and behavior – how can you lighten the load in your workplace and for your clients who are feeling frustrated at being “grounded” for so long.

Laugh and learn with Tami as she interacts with your attendees to identify ways they can access levity to reach their personal and professional potential through the power of fun.

Rules for Travel on the Road to Wellness: Making the Most of Your Personal Health Journey

We are travelers! Whether you collect passport stamps or never leave your zip code, we are traveling our road to wellness every day. The choices we make and the paths we choose can help make the most of our own life adventure.

We are on a journey every day, but when it comes to our health, often we are expected to know where we are going, how to get there, and even to help guide others — not to mention occasionally sharing that ride with someone who doesn’t believe in stopping to ask directions!

Tami Evans introduces the 4 Rules of Travel on the Road to Wellness:  Pack Well, Don’t Get Lost, Be A Good Tourist, and Enjoy the Ride!

This fun and functional program covers:

• Organization skills – to help prioritize YOUR needs in the face of so many others counting on you.
• Communication and conflict resolution – to allow you to stand up for yourself in the face of pressure to “go with the flow”.
• Goal setting – to help you create a Life Map that will guide your choices and decisions and make it easier to ditch daily temptations.
• Tools to lighten up and enjoy the ride – humor is the key to finding the best way to bundle all your stress and negativity into a tidy pile of baggage you leave behind on the platform as you board the Train of Transition and embark on your successful new adventure!
• Join Tami for tools and ideas, and a lot of laughter, to help make the most of your own personal Journey to Wellness!

Half Full Of It:  Activating Optimism and Other Hard Core Soft Skills

Life skills are the new black and if you want to make the most of every aspect of your day, you had better know how to wear them!   With all the demands we have on a daily basis, it is easy to let these things slide. It is only after we realize how far we are from where we want to be that we realize something needs to change.

Are you a bit rusty on relationship skills, a little crunchy on communication concepts and pooped-out on positivity? Spend some time understanding what you want out of life and appreciating the amazing progress you have already made. Tami will help you laugh your glass half full, and set you on a renewed path for a happier, healthier and more productive life!

G.L.O.W: Gratitude. Laughter. Optimism. Wellness.

Improving your health? Living a better life? Surviving stress, responsibility and public displays of twerking? All of these have one thing in common: they require you to choose to be fully engaged and interactive in order to be successful.

Tami works with you to create a healthier and happier life by implementing G.L.O.W.

Four steps to reinvention rock stardom:
Gratitude – Go on a Thank-You-Thon and watch every relationship improve immediately.
Laughter – Greet each situation with “Lighten Up, Let Go & Laugh” and take the stress out of risk taking.
Optimism – No Pollyana here, we’re talking about the Power of Positivity, and how it can improve the way you approach every decision in your life.
Wellness – You are creative, resourceful and whole and you have the power to live a life that is fulfilling.

Wherever you are on your journey to better health, Tami is a fun and friendly tour guide who can help you appreciate where you are while you are trying to get where you want to go.  As a life-time joiner (never a life-time member) of Weight Watchers, and a later-life coach to a 5K fanatic, Tami has a wide range of health and wellness experience she draws upon and is not afraid to share some of the more “memorable” flops from her own journey.

Join her to laugh your way to a better understanding of where you want to go, and deeper appreciation of the amazing life traveler you already are!
