Talk Topics
Priming the Pump - The 1 communication tool you can implement today to increase teamwork, reduce burnout, and make hard conversations easier
Audience members will leave this talk understanding my #1 communication tool - clear expectations. This no-cost skill is massively underutilized, and without it, leaders are undermining their own teams and goals, sacrificing alignment, and cultivating burnout in themselves and their employees. I will share my scripts to use in employee conversations, the best time to start setting expectations, and the magic of inviting employees to participate in expectation-setting of their own. This talk provides all the pieces needed for leaders to take immediate action with their teams.
Word Play - The 2 simple words that are sabotaging your teamwork
There are 2 sneaky words that have flown under the radar in workplaces for decades, sabotaging teamwork, shutting down dialogue, and hurting employee morale. In this electric, actionable talk we will look at the hidden meanings behind each, the messages employees actually hear when you use them, and my favorite replacements to build rather than break team rapport. By eliminating these 2 words from your workplace, you will be healing accidental shame triggers while also creating moments for team alignment and inviting employees to participate in healthy, productive debate that benefits them and the company.
