Resilience to Change and How to Create a Positive Attitude in Challenging Times
Did you know you have more resilience, resourcefulness and optimism than you might realize? Perhaps you haven't blindly climbed the world's tallest mountain, survived a week at sea without food, water or sunscreen, or had to choose between life and limb. But you DO have the ability, experience, and knowledge to get through the roughest changes and toughest challenges!
This fun, informative, inspiring program is perfect for groups facing change, stress and uncertainty. Through interactive exercises, participants experience for themselves how they already possess what it takes to build and maintain a positive attitude. Laura's down-to-earth style and captivating stories will resonate with those looking for practical truths, no-nonsense tips and (despite her best efforts) the occasional burst of unbridled humor!
Learning Objectives
By the end of this program, participants will have learned:
- 16 keys to a positive attitude and how to get them all
- How attitude impacts collaborative teams
- Psychological benefits of replacing “rumination” with activity
- Top 4 behavioral approaches to managing change
- Key differences between simply being "satisfied” and truly being “happy” in life
- 5 simple steps to strategize solutions and build resilience in changing and challenging times
NOTE: This keynote speech may also be accompanied by a follow-on seminar, appropriate for conference breakout sessions or educational tracks. The follow up seminar can range from 90 minutes to 3 hours. It gives participants the opportunity to explore in-depth strategies based on concepts highlighted in the keynote presentation.
TESTIMONIALS
Ms. Laura Benjamin was our Keynote Speaker for our Annual Women's Conference at Ft. Lewis, Washington. Our Commanding General's wife, Mrs. Vivian Soriano, gave us her name. Mrs. Soriano knew Laura from Fort Carson, Colorado and previous speaking engagements there.
We found Laura to be very professional and easy to work with. She was extremely receptive to gearing her message to the needs of our audience. At the time of this conference, we were facing war with Iraq and many in the audience had husbands and family members who were already deployed. Laura's message, "Resilience in Difficult Times", hit right on the mark. She was upbeat and challenging at the same time. Her easy style set a very positive mood for our conference.
Some of the comments we collected from a survey of participants included:
- "I loved her motivation and smile - very humorous."
- "Loved it! Very clearly laid out, time for discussion, punctual, humorous, and pertinent life experiences and stories."
- "Understands where we are and what we needed to hear. Funny, warm, and informational."
You will find Laura able to motivate, teach and encourage your audience. We strongly recommend Laura Benjamin to your group.
