ARE YOU PRACTICING SAFE STRESS? Or How To Stop Freaking Out and Start Living*
Did you know there are over 728 billion pieces of information on the internet about STRESS?
Many of us know so much about WHAT we can do to keep our stress in check and HOW to do it, yet many of us do very little to make a positive change.
This presentation helps employees understand what's stopping them from moving forward and encourages them to take action to manage their life experiences with resilience and motivated discipline to create THE BEST LIFE for themselves at work at home.
I answer the question: "Why am I still so freakin' freaked out?" and offer employees practical guidance as to what they can do about it.
• No punches are pulled
• Startling facts are revealed
• Human behaviour is discussed
• Life-changing decisions are made
In addition to my educational presentation/workshop, employees are entertained by my alter-ego Lana Miranda, The Ukulele Lady who makes an appearance to shed laughter and light on the perfection of imperfection. Her musical story of how "taking down the walls of perfection" and "just going for it" changed her life encourages others to do the same. Lana Miranda is proof positive that Practicing Safe Stress is possible!

Create a Workday You Love!*
You spend eight hours a day at work. That means you spend more time during the weekday with your fellow employees than you do with your loved ones at home!

Retire to the Life You Design©*
No doubt about it, retirement is a MAJOR change in life that can cause a lot of stress if you're not prepared. Most of us have tackled a financial plan, but an equally important -- yet often ignored -- aspect of retirement is a psychological plan to ease the transition into this new time of life.
Retire to the Life You Design© guides you through a personal process that will help you design your retirement with a blend of activities that keep you physically active, mentally challenged, emotionally charged, and socially engaged.
This workshop will help you gain an understanding of how you can psychologically prepare for this major change in your life by:
Defining the "new" retirement.
Examining the benefits of preparation and planning.
Understanding and preparing for the transition process.
Identifying your priorities and values.
Exploring meaningful and purposeful activities and interests in your new life.
Planning your professional and personal legacy.
Making your own rules: Developing a clear vision of your first important steps.
Let me show you how to "Rock the Golden Years!" and design a UNIQUE, FULFILLING and MEANINGFUL life in retirement!
