Stress is a serious issue and is all too common in the workplace. In 2012, 65% of Americans cited work as a top source of stress according to the American Psychological Association’s Annual Stress in America Survey. Only 37% of Americans surveyed said they were doing an excellent or very good job managing stress. Stress in the workplace leads to lack of productivity and can take a serious toll on one’s health. Learning to manage stress is critical for the personal well-being of those in our work environments - from those in the top levels of Leadership to the entry-level associate. Tapping into the power of the subconscious mind through relaxation, meditation and visualization techniques is an effective way to cope with stress and increase productivity in the work environment and in life. Learning how to set intentions with one’s thoughts, interactions with others and activities is more advantageous than being reactionary. Success in work and life comes from being intentional with goals, visions and processes.

Becoming an effective leader involves many steps, and is often a trial-and-error experience. The pressures of

leadership come from many directions and only intensify as one moves up the ladder. Learning how to mange and

budget one’s mental resources are a critical part of the leadership development process.

In this session, attendees will learn the key areas of mental focus they need to manage in order to lead

effectively. They will also learn about the types of mental obstacles that most often keep leaders from focusing on

the most important issues they face, and block a leader’s ability to achieve her business objectives.

Building a Leadership Mindset



7 7

The concept of leading from strengths is not new, Peter Drucker discussed this as a responsibility of leadership in his 1967 classic, The Effective Executive. What has changed is that decades of research and the realities of organizational evolution and revolution have shown us that deficit approaches to leadership, communication, and change rarely lead to the resilience, adaptability, and growth needed for people and their teams, and organizations to thrive. Rather, it is strengths-based approaches that activate the positive energy, resilience, and adaptability people need to overcome obstacles, capitalize on opportunities, and achieve goals. This interactive session presents the practice of Appreciative Inquiry (AI) - a set of strengths-based leadership tools that professionals at all levels can use to create positive change, influence, and action. Participants will leave with tools, resources, and insights for putting AI to practice in organizations of all sizes and types. To appreciate means “to recognize the full worth of” and “to increase in value.” In this presentation, participants will begin with an overview of how to take the first step of identifying and recognizing strengths. From there, they’ll explore how to increase strengths in value - to move from awareness to action, from recognition to results. This session is an essential experience for anyone who wants to understand how to build on the best in themselves and others to achieve what matters most.
