Keeping all the Balls in the Air: How to cope with constant change…And Still Stay Sane! – Rob Peck, Get Ahead Pro Speakers Bureau

Keeping all the Balls in the Air: How to cope with constant change…And Still Stay Sane! – C.E.O.’s are increasingly challenged to juggle multiple responsibilities. But "all work and no play"… NO WAY! People don't glaze over, call in sick, or jump ship, when they are in a cooperative learning environment that supports fun-spirited, fresh thinking and respects a healthy life balance. Good health is vital for good morale and both bring out people’s best in tough times. Leaders who know how to respond creatively to unforeseen challenges model a resiliency that rubs off. Nothing helps us bounce back quicker than a good laugh. Keeping a sense of humor helps us keep problems in perspective and recognize that difficulties can either obstruct or instruct. It’s our choice. We can constantly complain, or we can constructively reframe…. and have less stress, and more zest!

Attendees will get a delightful object lesson in how learning a new skill expands left and right brain thinking, and come away with a heightened appreciation for the link between leadership and laughter (and why humor is a great hearing aid when it comes to enhancing listener’s attention). They will also derive deeper insights into what frustrates- and what facilitates, cooperative learning and group chemistry. Each person will leave with a handy reference guide: Tips For Getting A Grip On Overload & Overwhelm, which includes several fun and creative 20-30 second R & R techniques to recharge their energy and rejuvenate their outlook, as well as a crisp, and easy to apply protocol to ensure problems are viewed in proper perspective.
