PUT HAPPINESS TO WORK FOR LEADERS
CREATING ENGAGEMENT THROUGH ACTIVATED POSITIVE EMOTIONS
Target audience: Supervisory staff through executive leadership
Most efforts to increase employee engagement fail because they focus on the wrong things. At the heart of engagement are activated positive emotions. This talk will show leaders how to give their teams what they need, which is to feel more valued, confident, motivated, inspired and fulfilled at work. In return, teams will be more committed, proactive and willing to expend discretionary effort to drive the organization forward. Leaders will learn simple, research-backed changes to everyday work processes that will align organizational goals with what employees need. Participants will leave with proven, practical tools and habits that can help any leader help their teams find more happiness and engagement.

Rethink Stress
Make stress work for you
Target audience: Supervisory staff through executive leadership
Stress has been given a bad rap in our society, and for good reason: our typical “threat response” to stress feeds procrastination, hurts our productivity and causes all kinds of downstream health problems. But there is another possible reaction to stress: the “challenge response.” This response model can help us focus, process information better, see the big picture, and harness the energy that stress provides to meet the challenges we face. In this research-driven talk, participants will learn healthier and more effective alternatives for responding to the inevitable stress of life as a human in modern workplaces.

KEY TAKEAWAYS:
REKINDLING SOCIAL CONNECTION
Social connection – the sense of belonging and feeling valued – with colleagues, leaders and direct reports is the number one driver of our happiness and engagement at work. Years of social distancing, masking and new hybrid and remote work patterns has caused an unprecedented drop in many of our traditional ways to connect with one another and feel like we belong. In this fun, connecting and research-driven workshop, Eric will help your audience rekindle their ability, interest and skills in building stronger and more supportive social connections with colleagues, friends and teammates.
