Blaze Your Brain: Turn Negative Thoughts into Positivity, Bigger Action, and Better Results

In an economy where self-doubt, worry, and stress are at an all-time high, you have that voice inside your head that never quits. It’s constantly chatting, saying things like, “What if it doesn’t work,” “What if I fail,” or “What if they don’t like it.”

You have 60,000 thoughts a day, and research shows 80% of them are negative. It might be hard to wrap your brain around having that many negative thoughts, especially since you aren’t aware most of them exist. It’s a pattern you’ve developed over the years. Then it becomes the story you tell yourself and by which you navigate everything else…how you lead others, how confident you are, how you communicate, how you succeed in unknown situations, or how you embrace change.

Your self-talk leads to a poor attitude, more mistakes, and increased stress while dictates your actions, keeping you from leading your team, engaging with others, and growing your organization. Transform your thoughts to move to the next level and get bigger returns.

Your thoughts dictate behavior which dictates actions. So if you want better results, start by changing how and what you’re thinking. To keep up with the evolving world around you, you can’t keep thinking the same way you’ve always thought.

In this session, you’ll explore our proprietary five-step process, which has helped thousands of leaders, teams, and individuals, to identify the exact thoughts holding them back (they are different for everyone). You’ll discover an exercise to create awareness about these thoughts, which makes it easier to identify them. After all, when was the last time you thought about what you thought about?!

You’ll be able to pinpoint these debilitating thoughts and turn them into positive action to create bigger results, better people, and a bolder organization. Get ready to stay motivated, focused, and energized, while you develop your team, enhance your attitude, and grow your leaders. Blaze your brain to change your thoughts, change your outcome, and ignite your power within.

Think Less, Live More: How Saying Yes Empowers Your Life

When you feel nervous, timid or scared, your brain is hard wired to say, “No.”

With authentic storytelling, dynamic style and her “30 Days of Yes” journey, Jessica takes you on a ride that will empower and inspire you to expand your comfort zone and stretch your limits in this popular keynote presentation.

When you think less, and starting saying Yes more, the possibilities are endless.

In a world where you are maxed out, stressed out, and burned out, it’s not about saying Yes to everything. Jessica will help you find the right Yes opportunities at home and in work to uncover more fun, while discovering a more amazing you.

Fire Up So You Don’t Burnout: How to Prevent, Break Through, and Extinguish

Burnout is like a wildfire…spreading quickly and affecting everything in its path, especially the longer you’re in an industry.

In a time that feels like you have to do more, be more, have more, there is also more stress and pressure. With change, disruption, and uncertainty thrust upon you, you’re doing more in less time and with less resources. With 79% of the workforce burned out and even more stressed out, it’s not showing signs of slowing down any time soon.

The problem? You don’t know what to do to prevent or extinguish burnout. Or if you do, you’re not doing it, because you’re already overwhelmed. After all, who wants more on their already full plate?! Jessica has your solution.

The World Health Organization acknowledges burnout as a workplace syndrome, but it’s not just for the workplace any more. With people working from home, keeping up with staff shortages, and juggling job demands, burnout and stress are overtaking your life, yet most people don’t even know how to identify it.

Monster.com recently reported that 95% of the workforce is thinking of leaving their jobs, and 92% of them are willing to go to another industry. The #1 reason cited? Burnout. And it’s not slowing down anytime soon.

As stress and burnout are on the rise across industries, we have presented this topic to leaders, staff, and teams to not just help them reduce stress and overwhelm but also to extinguish burnout once it hits. And in the process, people are able to improve focus, retention, performance, health, and safety.

You’ll be able to identify your exact contributing factors to burnout and stress and how they are affecting your work and lives. We share our Burnout Success Formula, the misconceptions with burnout, and easy-to-implement actionable steps to improve motivation, productivity, and mind wellness. We demonstrate some of the strategies on the spot and get your audience to participate, whether live or virtually, so they know exactly how to do them (and why they are important for their lives) when they leave.

The result: Using our blueprint, attendees leave more energized, empowered, and resourceful to stifle stress, overcome overwhelm, and break through burnout, which improves performance, engagement, and focus greatly increasing health and wellness, resulting in people who are more productive, able to perform at a higher level and want to stay at their organization.

Learning Objectives

√  Identify their specific contributing factors of burnout

√  Determine how burnout transfers to and hurts other areas of their work and lives

√  Demonstrate on the spot strategies to reduce stress and burnout and improve performance

√  Uncover their individual burnout and pinpoint “hot” areas

√  Discover tools to create better habits and develop a stronger work/life balance

√  Explore what organizations can do in the long term and short term to prevent burnout

√  Analyze how employee engagement directly affects burnout levels

Ignite the Burned Out: How Leadership Inspires the Disengaged

Burnout and stress are at an all-time high, affecting every industry, every organization, and every position.

People feel overwhelmed, unappreciated, and un-recognized, which decreases productivity, attitude, and performance. Burnout is an organizational and leadership issue affecting morale, engagement, and relationships.

Research shows even the “best place to work for” Google has 53% of their employees burned out. How much is burnout really costing your organization?

It costs companies millions of dollars each year, and you’re not immune to it.

With so much going on in organizations, the economy, and the world, wellness is on the forefront of people’s minds. How can you better help your people, so they want to stay at their company, keep doing their best work, having a great attitude, and doing more than expected?

With so many people working from home, burnout infiltrates every area of life…how you lead, how well you perform, how much you get done, how you interact with others, if you engage with them, how you remain focused, and your ability to be present. These trickle down to your family and directly impact your work.

People don’t recognize they are in burnout until they’ve been in it about a year. Imagine the damage that has already been done. Once they feel burned out, they try to dig themselves out of it, not really knowing how or what will work. This creates a never-ending cycle of stress, pressure, health issues, safety issues, and the desperate need to escape.

Burnout will not go away on its own. Help begins with the organization and leaders working alongside individuals to prevent burnout. We show you the financial cost of burnout, why it’s imperative to be proactive with burnout, and the #1 strategy leaders should use to help their people with burnout (it’s not what you think), while preventing burnout in themselves.

Using our research, we share how organizations can proactively anticipate burnout, teams can stop stress from spreading to other work and life areas, and how leaders can ignite, motivate, and empower employees to build resilience, create a thriving culture, and tackle uncertainty and challenges without burnout.

It’s imperative to be proactive with burnout, because you can’t afford to not prevent burnout in your organization.

It’s time to be address burnout before your turnover continues to increase, engagement decreases, and it infiltrates your whole organization.

Learning Objectives

√  Examine their #1 contributing factor and the vital role self-talk plays in burnout and stress

√  Use on-the-spot demonstrated stress management and burnout relieving techniques to their work

√  Apply what organizations can do in the long and short term to ignite their teams

√  Determine and apply how to acknowledge and appreciate employees in the way they want

√ Establish tools for increased engagement and connection increasing retention and reducing burnout

Fire Up While You Ignite
