    Personal & Professional Development Community

    From Chaos to Clarity: Reclaiming Your Focus, Energy, and Sense of Control at Work

    with Isla Reddin

    Are you feeling overwhelmed, constantly busy, and yet never quite caught up? Do you suspect you might be on the edge of burnout — or already there?


    You’re not alone. According to a 2023 survey by the American Psychological Association, 77% of U.S. employees report experiencing work-related stress, and more than half say they feel emotionally exhausted at the end of most days.


    Many professionals today are operating in survival mode — reacting to never-ending demands, absorbing pressure from all directions, and struggling to find clarity amid the noise.


    This workshop offers a pause. A reset. A chance to step out of the swirl and reconnect with what really matters.


    Through powerful coaching tools and real-world strategies, you’ll uncover what’s draining your energy, where you're over-functioning, and how to rebuild a sense of control over your time, focus, and direction.


    This is not about doing more — it’s about choosing better. You’ll leave with insight, structure, and a personalized plan to move forward with more confidence and clarity.


    You’ll Leave With:

    • A Burnout & Overwhelm Reflection Worksheet to help you identify your unique stress patterns
    • A personalized Energy Audit to map out your drains and gains
    • A Sustainable Success Plan Template to realign how you work with what you value
    • A 5-Minute Reset Toolkit of quick, science-backed practices you can use anytime
    • Burnout Check-In Journal Prompts to revisit clarity and boundaries on a regular basis
    • A curated Resource List including TED Talks, podcasts, and books for ongoing support

    Leadership Community

    Help Leaders Handle the Changing Workplace

    with Matt Gjertsen

    Leaders need to step up and inspire their teams through the twists and turns of remote and hybrid work. Being adaptable and keeping a clear, forward-thinking mindset are key to making it all work.

    Remote and hybrid work aren’t going anywhere—and leaders play a critical role in helping teams stay connected, productive, and engaged through it all. To succeed in today’s evolving workplace, leaders need to be agile, build trust across distances, and guide teams with clarity and empathy.

    What You’ll Learn:

    • How to effectively lead remote and hybrid teams while maintaining alignment and connection

    • Why flexibility is a top priority for employees—and how leaders can support it

    • How to build trust, strengthen communication, and foster team cohesion in any work setting

    • The key leadership mindsets needed to adapt and lead through ongoing change

    Why This Matters:
    According to the Korn Ferry Global Workforce 2024 Survey, flexible work is the #1 priority for many employees—making it essential for retention, engagement, and satisfaction. But supporting flexible teams takes more than policies. It takes skilled, confident leaders.

    This session will explore how organizations can equip their leaders with the tools and training to support remote and hybrid teams, build resilience, and lead through change with impact.

    Join us for this timely conversation and walk away with practical strategies to lead your team—wherever they are—with clarity, trust, and adaptability.

    Get Leaders Ready for Rapid Tech Changes and the AI Revolution

    with Megan Torrance

    Technology is evolving fast—and leaders need to evolve with it. From artificial intelligence to digital transformation, tomorrow’s most successful leaders will be those who stay curious, adaptable, and ready to embrace innovation.

    What You’ll Learn:

    • How leaders can integrate AI and emerging tech into decision-making and day-to-day operations
    • Why mindset matters: building comfort and confidence around rapid innovation
    • Practical steps organizations can take to equip leaders for digital transformation
    • Global perspectives on AI adoption and what it means for future leadership

    Why This Matters:

    According to Korn Ferry’s Global Workforce 2024 Survey, 65.5% of business leaders believe AI will positively impact their roles—and that number jumps even higher among CEOs and senior executives. But staying ahead of the curve takes more than optimism. It takes action.

    This session will explore how to prepare leaders for the accelerating pace of change. We’ll dive into how to build digital leadership capabilities, encourage hands-on experimentation with AI, and promote a culture of innovation that extends across teams and departments.

    Whether you're leading digital initiatives or simply trying to keep up with what’s next, this session will give you the tools and mindset to lead with confidence in a tech-forward future.
