What to Expect in This Keynote
Get unstuck from being too inside your head.
It’s human nature. We spend most of our time thinking about, well, ourselves! And it’s easy to get stuck there. Our brains can put us on cruise control, making it more likely we’ll “run over” someone around us. Being inside your own head can be exhausting. When we are in that state and find ourselves in conflict, disagreement, or differing perspectives with one another, we’re likely to get carried away. It doesn’t take much to make a mountain out of a molehill that could have been a one-and-done.
Our people need to learn how to reach outside of themselves and look at the world through the perspective of our clients, students, parents, and teams.
With Jenn’s guidance and research, plus her trademark stories and wit, your team will learn how to connect their minds with the hearts of others, making your environment a less stressful place to be.
They’ll learn how little it actually takes to stop a potential conflict in its tracks, change the course of a conversation, and walk away feeling connected instead of dejected.
