Creating a Culture of Compassion

FOR

Administration, Principals, Teachers, Guidance Counselors, Front Office Staff, Business, Industry

The Message

Conflict is inevitable in any job. And when the job involves shaping children’s futures, conflict is extra divisive and distracting. Now you can transform the tension that comes with any kind of conflict into a fruitful experience rather than a trauma.

The Takeaway

With this keynote, you’ll learn to use conflict as a building block in a school that’s positive, respectful, and compassionate — one that you and your students love to come to every day.

What You’ll Learn

  • Jennifer’s famous “Calm the Friends Down” Model, a blueprint for reframing conflict as opportunity.
  • How to uncover and diffuse the hidden causes of conflict right at their source.
  • The surprising way that courage creates peaceful spaces.
  • The science behind our survival techniques, how they sneakily sabotage peace, and how to override them using communication techniques instead.

Deep Shift:

Rule Your Mind. Listen to Your Heart. Love Your Work.

FOR

Teachers, principals, business, or industry in a challenge or at a crossroads

The Message

Are you in deep shift?

Whatever has you there — career mandates that seem impossible, circumstances that seem insurmountable, or doubts that seem perpetual — your way out is easier than you think. The steps are right in front of you, and the power to take them is all yours.

The Takeaway

With this keynote, you’ll learn how to conquer deep shift mode with mind shift work.

What You’ll Learn

  • How your mind can trick you, and how to train it to help you instead.
  • How to disarm any foe and quell negativity — especially your own — by hacking the physiological connection between the mind and the heart.
  • How to shift your inner voice from Critical Judge to Compassionate Friend, and how this act of kindness defeats desperation.
  • When to make a tough change, and how to make it with grace.

KEYNOTE

You’re the Shift!

Changing Your Perspective

FOR

Teachers, Principals, Administration, Guidance Counselors, Business, Industry

The Message

Making your way in the world today DOES take everything you’ve got. People-ing is HARD! I’ll show you how you can deal with the most difficult clients, parents, and co-workers without losing your mind.
How do we get others to see the magic that lies within us when everyone is so focused on their own shifts? The power of small interactions and meaningful connections helps us showcase the kind of emotional intelligence that sets us apart, allowing us to stand out in a transactional world.

The Takeaway

Dealing with conflict is hard, whether it’s internal or external. You can love your days so much more when you aren’t constantly worried about how you will deal with the people who drive you nuts. 

What You’ll Learn

  • It’s not really about you! People view the world through a lens they’ve created over years of personal experiences mixed with their own biology, neurology, and mindset. When you learn to meet people where they are you can handle even the most cringe-worthy conversations.
  • Tips and tricks to listen, engage, and leave smiling.
  • How to recover the lost art of problem-solving./li>
