Unexpected changes. Punch in the gut moments. “Stuff” hitting the fan. Life, both personally and professionally = constant change, with crazy and unpredictable ups and the downs. How you deal with this ever-changing high stress world is completely up to you. Change is certain. But growth and progress are not. Do you learn, grow, evolve and stretch or do you stay stuck when unexpected change and challenges knock the wind out of you?

DITCHING THE DRAINERS: HOW TO STOP DIFFICULT PEOPLE FROM SUCKING THE LIFE OUT OF YOU

Difficult and toxic people. They’re everywhere – in both our professional and personal lives – co-workers, bosses, customers and even family members. You know who they are. The Whiners. The Drama Makers. The Complainers. The Gossips. The Back Stabbers. The Know-it-Alls. The Bullies. The Negative Nellies. The Victims. The Drainers. They are exhausting, annoying and can drive you crazy. And if you’re not careful, they have the ability to negatively impact you, your team, your organization and your life. Effectively dealing with negative and difficult people can reduce stress, improve confidence, boost productivity, improve morale and create a better life for you and those around you. In this fun, energetic and engaging session, you will learn what they do, why they do it, and what you can do about it the next time a drainer enters your life, whether at work or at home. You will leave with tools you can start using right away to make an immediate impact.

LEAD FROM WHERE YOU ARE: HOW TO IMPACT, INFLUENCE AND CREATE MOMENTUM TO GET RESULTS

Titles don’t define a leader, actions do. You have the ability through your action and your attitude to lead right from where you are, regardless of your title, role or position. In this interactive session, Kim will outline strategies to Lead From Where You Are and discuss those qualities that create an epic leader.

COMMUNICATING COURAGEOUSLY: WHAT EPIC LEADERS KNOW ABOUT LEADING THEIR TEAM THROUGH CHANGE

Change is certain. But communicating change effectively is not. Often when dealing with change, communicating the change is where the breakdown occurs. A disconnect may occur between those who are pushing for change and everyone else. Resistance to change keeps people stuck, creates stress and stifles growth and productivity. And people resist what they don’t understand. For leaders to successfully navigate change, communication and engagement with those affected are critical in order to reduce drama, stress and misunderstanding. In this engaging, fun and highly interactive session, you will learn proven, easy to implement strategies on how to effectively communicate, connect and create the momentum needed for success when facing change – whether you are the one pushing for the change or the one having change “happen” to you.
