Engage your people.
“We are in the early days of a new era, where a higher sense of meaning and purpose in work are sources of innovation and the core narrative of the workplace” (PwC/CECP).
The paradigm of the workplace is shifting. With virtual workspaces, artificial intelligence, and the overlap of our professional and personal lives, fulfillment has become an essential ingredient of a successful workforce. In fact, “fulfilled employees plan to stay at their current employer nearly three years longer in total than their less fulfilled counterparts” (PwC/CECP). Unfortunately, few employers have allocated sufficient resources toward aligning daily work with a larger sense of purpose and personal development. That’s where I come in.
As a former attorney at an international law firm who managed teams with dozens of direct reports, I understand how to synthesize the needs of organizations and their people. Whether you’re looking for ongoing programming in areas like mindfulness, leadership, and personal development, or just a one-off workshop or talk, I will deliver personalized programming for you.
Common Topics Include:
Mindfulness & Stress Management.
“American workers are more stressed than ever before,” according to Fortune Magazine. I can provide a comprehensive mindfulness program that will help your employees lower their stress levels and even use stress as a catalyst for growth. Other benefits include a stronger immune system, less emotional reactivity, better relationships, and improvements in work performance, cognitive flexibility, and focus (American Psychological Association).
Leadership.
It’s now well established that effective leaders share two qualities: courage and empathy (Forbes, Harvard Business Review). The good news is that these qualities can be cultivated in anyone willing to learn and grow. My experiential programming will help your people expand their brains’ capacities for effective leadership in their professional and personal lives.
Performance Coaching & Personal Development.
Whether your goals are professional, athletic, creative, or relationship-oriented, performers at the highest levels share one thing in common. They’re coached.
The reality of our human biology is that we evolved to survive within an ancient food chain, not thrive in today’s modern world. That means our brains are pre-set with outdated software to resist change, focus on problems instead of possibilities, choose comfort over growth, and react to pain from the past as though it were still happening today.
Luckily, there’s a way out. I offer programming grounded in neuroscience that will help your people increase motivation, see into blind spots, and learn how to hack their brain’s programming to unlock their potential. Your competitors are doing it. Now it’s your turn.
Creativity.
In order to reduce the mental effort needed to make decisions, the human brain instinctively takes shortcuts. It generalizes data to form a mental map of the world, and then it resits altering or stepping outside that map (Science Magazine). This is a problem for organizations that require creative thinking. My programming can help your people grow the creative regions of their brains and expand their capacity to think outside the box.
Diversity & Inclusion.
We’ve finally reached an awareness that successful and happy organizations invest in diversity training. However, according to the Harvard Business Review, not all diversity training is effective. Some studies show it can even lead to backlash. Effective diversity programs target awareness and skill development over an extended period of time. My diversity programs will help your people increase empathy and expand their capacity to view the world from unfamiliar perspectives - skills that will help them personally and professionally.
What people are saying.
“Justin is the perfect blend of compassionate teacher and corporate warrior. We brought Justin in to run a program called "Mindfulness for the Busy Mind," and it was a huge hit! Attorneys and staff both related to his clear explanations and personal stories, and everyone left with tools to soothe their overactive minds!”
Dia Draper, Director of Attorney Development & Recruiting at Best Best & Krieger LLP
“Thank you for the excellent work you did with our team. I've received quite a bit of feedback on how well-received your messages were. Personally, I can't help but see the world through this framework now, and I'm better off because of it.
You have a great presentation style, are an excellent communicator, and do a great job of creating interactive, dynamic presentations - a real accomplishment considering the limitations of video conferencing.”
