TOPICS OF EXPERTISE
MEDITATION IMPROVES THE BRAIN, BODY AND BOTTOM LINE
Studies show that practicing 20 minutes of meditation a day can increase a person’s productivity by nearly 70%. On average, an individual is only 53% productive. However, when you begin incorporating meditation into the daily routine, it makes your mind less stimulated and allows you to focus on the task at hand. In the world of endless mind hacks, all you really need is the simple practice of meditation. Theresa will share how meditation has been proven to improve people’s focus, increase their happiness and sense of well-being, decrease procrastination and better manage your time and energy. She will also share easy 5 minute meditation exercises anyone can do during the day to refocus, re-energize and stay engaged.
CONNECTION MATTERS: DECREASING LONELINESS IN THE WORKPLACE
Connection and authentic relationships at work matter. A simple check-in with a colleague can make all the difference in the feeling of belonging, community and inclusion. We all need connection with people, and considering we spend the most time at work, we should enjoy collaboration, communication and communion in this setting as well. Theresa will share 5 ways to improve social connections at work. When people feel like they count, they will associate their work with deeper meaning and satisfaction, improved communication and openness to different perspectives and wake up wanting to show up at work.
YOUR ORDINARY PRIVILEGE CAN MAKE AN EXTRAORDINARY IMPACT
You don’t need to be considered a leader or have a position of power in a company to be of influence. Your ordinary privilege, the one that isn’t as obvious, is enough to create change. Theresa challenges you to think about your ordinary privilege as an opportunity and as your power to begin to dive into much needed conversations for the greater good. Theresa will provide easy, real world examples of how to use your ordinary privilege and make your communities and world a better place.
