Everybody Stay Calm - How to Thrive in Stressful Times
— Is your Workplace a Stressplace?
— Have resources been stretched to new levels?
— Is everyone working harder than ever before in a hectic environment?
It’s time to step back, laugh, and learn techniques to stay calm when things get crazy. Paul will help relieve your business stress by teaching your group how to do more than just cope. They’ll learn to thrive on stress.
The talk discusses what stress is, what happens to your body under stress, and what happens to your mind when it’s trying to make sense of it all. Your people will learn how to be well, work better together, and focus on how to stay calm even on the craziest of days.
Everybody Stay Calm is also a lot of fun. It’s low stress learning and a great break from the usual serious sessions of a conference. It’s a sure way to show your team that you value them.
Climb Your Mountain - The unEverest Keynote
Follow Paul to the top of Mt Fuji, the perfect mountain to climb, because you can climb it too. It’s not Everest. it’s Mt Fuji, the mountain that 400,000 people – including grandparents and children – climb every year.
Mt Fuji is the setting to learn about how to achieve your goals. The mountain forced Paul to face obstacles, stay focussed and laugh at challenges. It also gave him a great opportunity to learn to enjoy the view on the way to the summit. And if he can do it, you can too.
Presented with breath-taking photographs and compelling video, this keynote is an awesome adventure that will inspire you to find opportunities, follow your dreams, and be your best.
We can’t all climb Mt Everest, or Mt Fuji, but we can scale the mountains we need to in our own lives.
Humour, Resilience, and Change
Change at work is inevitable. Laughing at it is not, but it’s a great way to manage through difficult times. This talk teaches how to face the inevitable and turn your workplace back into one that’s productive and fun.
Your group will learn how to deal with stress, change, and conflicting demands and not let the negatives get in the way of work. Create a resilient team, one that’s aware of individual change styles and able to move forward in any environment.
They’ll also laugh throughout the session and won’t even know they’re learning.
