Awe: The New Science of Everyday Wonder and How It Can Transform Your Life
Awe is mysterious. How do we begin to quantify the goose bumps we feel when we see the Grand Canyon, or our utter amazement when we watch a child walk for the first time? Until recently, there was no science of awe, that feeling we experience when we encounter vast mysteries that transcend our understanding of the world. Revolutionary thinking, though, has shown how humans have survived over the course of evolution thanks to our capacities to cooperate, form communities, and create culture—all of which are spurred by awe.
In Awe, Dacher Keltner presents a sweeping investigation and deeply personal inquiry into this elusive feeling. Revealing new research alongside an examination of awe across history, culture, and within his own life, Keltner shows us how cultivating awe in our everyday lives leads us to appreciate what is most humane in our human nature. At turns radical and profound, brimming with enlightening and practical insights, Awe is our field guide for how to place this emotion as a vital force within our lives.

Distraction: Top Strategies for Overcoming our Inattention
In the flurry of statistics that exist around personal productivity, there’s one that’s especially alarming: the average person is distracted or interrupted every 40 seconds when working. In other words, we can’t work for even a single minute before we focus on something else. Sometimes it’s easy to get back on track. But research (and our own experience) shows that sometimes it can take our brain more than 20 minutes to refocus. Human beings are hardwired for distraction. Our brain’s attentional system is programed to respond to anything that’s pleasurable, threatening, or novel. Evolutionarily speaking, our ancient ancestors who were distracted by novel threats — like an approaching saber-toothed tiger — survived. Today’s distractions no longer aid our survival. Instead, they tug our attention from what’s productive and meaningful. Social media, text messages, even reading emails will always offer a bigger dopamine hit than the report we’re writing. So how can you gain back control? Join us for an engaging and informative session with goal-oriented strategies to help mitigate distraction and foster focus and attention.
Empathy in the Workplace
Empathy, the ability to experience and relate to the thoughts, emotions, or experience of others, is an ability that is fundamental to effective leadership and motivation in any organization. Empathy is more than simple sympathy; it’s being able to understand and support others with compassion or sensitivity. Transformational leaders need to demonstrate care for the needs and achievement of those they serve. Research by the Center for Creative Leadership has shown that the nature of leadership is shifting, placing a greater emphasis on building, and maintaining relationships. Leaders today need to be more people focused and be able to work with those not just in the next cubicle, but also with those in other buildings, or other countries. Empathy is integral to successful collaboration, crossing cultural boundaries and creating shared direction, alignment, and commitment between groups with different perspectives and values. This presentation engages and fosters ways to enhance empathy and propel motivation and understanding in the workplace.
EQ: Emotional Intelligence and Why It Matters So Much

Experts in organizational management, education and science have collected 40 years of data demonstrating that emotional intelligence (EI or EQ) is perhaps the most crucial determinant of success in the workplace. The dates among CEOs and leaders in higher education, is that emotional intelligence isn’t just nice to have, but a must have. And EI can be developed and dramatically increased over the life span. In this lively and engaging hour, you will discover how your own personal and social competencies are vital for creating a fulfilling work life and everywhere else.

Here, we will explore best practices for offering and seeking feedback. There are skillful ways to manage the process and express yourself assertively and diplomatically. It all begins with how we are and the attitudes and energy we bring to the interaction. We look at ways that our brains receive information and learn the methods necessary for the maximum benefit of both the giver and receiver of feedback.
Finding More Time in Your Day
Most time management systems quite rightly focus on goal setting, prioritizing, and interruption management. There is a lot of good in this strategy. And yet, it doesn’t allow for the certainty that everything doesn’t often go according to plan! Many of us wish we had more time to get it all done. While adding more hours to our day may not be possible, there are proven methods to help you utilize your time more effectively and provide a greater sense of spaciousness in your day.

Distraction: Top Strategies for Overcoming Our Inattention
Here’s a staggering statistic around personal productivity: the average person is distracted or interrupted every 40 seconds when working in front of their computer. In other words, we can’t work for even a single minute before we focus on something else. Sometimes it’s easy to get back on track. But in the course of a day, our attention often gets derailed and it can often take 20 minutes or more to refocus. We all would like to accomplish more, and the first order of business is to become less distracted. We do this by focusing on today’s scarcest resource and the secret to high performance and fulfillment: attention.

Effective Communication: The Key to Transformative Change ★
Effective Communication is the cornerstone of every successful relationship, at work and everywhere else Your ability to thrive in all areas of your life rests squarely on communicating, clearly and authentically. As we know, this is not always an easy task. Many of our human tendencies make both speaking with clarity and listening with presence challenging at best. The ability to communicate so that we feel we are fully understood AND so that we have truly listened is enhanced with tools and practice. An effective communicator doesn’t have to use a lot of words (actually, that’s often a hindrance). They do, however, need to engender trust. We persuade others by our effectiveness on the job and the way we show up at work and for those we work with. From the simplest of interactions to the most challenging conversations, we’ll learn to notice what’s actually happening during communication, how to become aware of our own habits, lessening misunderstanding, enhancing connections, and enjoying greater shared success.

The Practices of Gratitude: Cultivating Well-Being through the Science of Thanks
The latest research in neuroscience has demonstrated how profoundly gratitude improves our mental, emotional, and physical health. The benefits range from being more resilient, feeling less isolated, experiencing a sense of happiness and more satisfying connections with others. You may know this from your own experience. Yet often, these moments of gratitude are fleeting and happen only once in a while, when we by chance remember to be thankful. Of course, there are things that are challenging…but within every moment, there are things to appreciate. Learn how you can daily encourage ‘an attitude of gratitude’ so that joy and well-being are regular visitors instead of occasional guests.
Living Well with Change and Uncertainty
We humans like to have a sense that we’re somehow in control; it makes us feel safe. While this may be true in terms of our brain chemistry and evolution, it also brings a lot of stress and undue suffering when we experience the reality of constant change and uncertainty every day. How we respond makes all the difference. By bringing awareness to what’s happening within us and our stories about what’s happening out there, we have the opportunity to bring wise and helpful strategies to every situation that arises, even the most challenging ones. We have the ability to respond skillfully, rewiring our neural pathways towards a rational positivity, bolstering our resilience, calming our knee-jerk reactions and impulses, and enhancing our problem-solving capabilities. We being to intuitively know where we have efficacy and gain an abiding confidence in our ability to handle life on life’s terms. Let’s see how it’s done.
Mindfulness: An Introduction ★
Over 4000 research studies and neuroscience findings provide compelling data that practicing mindfulness changes the brain in positive ways and harnesses resources for strengthening our resiliency “muscles.” As the Harvard Business Review remarked, “It’s not just nice to have for your company, it’s a must have.” The data shows that mindfulness has been proven to play a powerful role in these areas of our lives: 1. Stress Reduction, Physical and Mental Health 2. Strengthening Attention and Focus 3. Improving Performance and Productivity 4. Happier Relationships at Work…and at Home. So, what’s it all about? Join us to discover what mindfulness really is, how it makes positive changes the brain, and engage with practical exercises that you can begin using in any moment to experience calm and respond more skillfully and optimize your sense of well-being.
Multitasking, the Brain, and What You Can Do About It
Multitasking has become a way of life in the 21st century. And many of us are lauded, compensated, and even promoted for our ability to do many different things at once. So, while it appears to be a reality for the majority us, we are not actually doing several tasks at once but thinking and moving very quickly from one task to the next. This has many consequences. How do we consciously manage the effects of multitasking in our lives (both at work and at home?) We explore the science behind what is happening when we multitask, the idea of context switching, how to focus on the most important tasks, find clarity, and enter the state of flow more often.
The Neuroscience of Compassion: Pathways to Rejuvenation and Resilience
Neuroscience confirms that practicing compassion leads to greater positive feelings and connectedness. It increases our immune function, up to 2-fold. Stanford Research, along with the National Institute of Health have demonstrated that compassion practices significantly lower stress levels and “lead to greater individual and collective flourishing.” A compassionate attitude can greatly reduce the distress people feel in difficult situations and becomes a profound personal resource in times of stress. This includes working with the tendency we all have to be hard on ourselves. With training, we learn to bring a nonjudgmental and caring attitude toward ourselves. Discover how to develop your “compassion muscle” for personal growth and professional development.
Optimal Health and Resiliency in Children

Preventing Burnout: Surge Protection
We are all feeling the effects of work and life stress in ways that are inordinate in many ways. The CDC reports rising rates of anxiety, depression, addiction rates, and ADHD. This is not surprising. We are collectively in the midst of great uncertainty and challenges. Many people at work are feeling “beyond burned out’ and often overwhelmed. Yet, there are remedies to prevent us from feeling exhausted, detached, and even ill. By listening to the mind and body, we are given clues towards health, for slowing down before the demands on the body exceed its ability to keep up. Assemble your own surge protection kit with practices that prevent excessive stress that often leads to burnout. We’ll learn how to recognize healthy vs. unhealthy stress, being proactive before it becomes “too much.” Your body is designed to repair and restore itself- let’s give it a hand.
Prioritization at Work
We all have priorities. Identifying them and finding time for them, however, isn’t as easy as it sounds. Add to this that managers and colleague’s priorities sometime overlap, and other times not so much. Often, we are giving a lot of our time to what seems urgent yet doesn’t move us closer to our goals. This leaves us feeling exhausted and often frustrated. Join us as we discuss how to clearly articulate what’s most important, how to align more often and work with the dynamics in more effective ways. What are the recurring roadblocks that get in the way of engaging our priorities and how do we address them? We’ll learn strategies to stay focused amidst the many other tasks calling our attention and know when it’s necessary to shift gears. We receive lots of requests from other people, pulling us in different directions: when do we say yes? How do we frame a response that gives us space and accomplishes the task? Finally, we’ll unpack the tenets of time organization, how to spend your time each day most wisely.
Prioritizing and Integrating Mental Health at Work
Many of us are feeling a lot of stress right now. Our minds and bodies are responding to the ever-present challenges in our own lives, at work, and in the wider world. While life is always changing and uncertain, it has taken on another dimension. A recent survey by the National Center for Health Statistics and the Census Bureau reported the highest rates of anxiety and depression in the U.S. since they began taking statistics in 1960. Though anxiety is felt by people of all ages, a recent survey by the National Center for Health Statistics and the Census Bureau found that 18- to 39-year-olds report the highest rates of anxiety and depression in the U.S. This is not an issue to be taken lightly. Millennials and Gen Zs are a large swath of today’s working world. Join us as we explore the ways we can take care of use and others, removing the stigma that hinders getting support and/or treatment. This session provides tools and a variety of resources for reducing stress and managing anxiety. Whatever you are experiencing, help, support and growth are available to all.
The Sandwich Generation and Beyond: How to a Be a Caregiver While Taking Care of Yourself
Are you taking care of any or all of the following: children, parents, grandparents, other family members, friends, pets? Are you doing this while simultaneously working and trying to care for yourself? This hour is for you. The Sandwich Generation refers to feeling “caught in the middle” of caretaking responsibilities across generations. Often, we are kind and giving to others while we push ourselves beyond our own limits. Indeed, well-meaning friends and relatives often tell you to take good care. But no one actually tells you how to do that! With all the myriad of activities that we do in service of others, let’s learn how to find support and time for ourselves. Join us to discover practical tools and life-giving skills as caregivers across the life span. In this session, we broaden the term “sandwich generation” to include all of us who feel pulled in many directions.
The 7 Essentials of Self-Care: Gifts We Give Ourselves and Each Other
Self- care is essential. It means asking yourself what you need and following through on the honest answer. Sure, it looks a little different for everyone but there are several elements common to every successful self-care journey. We start wherever we are. Self-care can be as simple as getting to bed earlier on a work night, or as complex as taking full stock of your long-held habits and attitudes and their long-term effects. Whether you’re looking to feel more energized or to experience a deep-down wholeness, join us to discover the practices that don’t have cost a thing, but will richly reward you with emotional and physical wellbeing, a sense of resiliency, and provide fertile ground for a wise and active engagement with the world around you.
Setting Boundaries at Work
Boundaries limit our exposure to behavior that doesn’t align with who we are and who we want to be. Which is to say, we want to be happy and productive at work (and everywhere else). Clear boundaries help enormously. We have our own physical boundaries most of the time, but figuring out what is out of bounds in terms of feelings and behaviors is a little trickier. They are not as obvious, as they’re emotional and intangible. However, they serve to preserve our physical and emotional energy, and are therefore vital. We’ll look at what boundaries look like in a variety of situations and discover how to establish clear (but not always rigid) boundaries with managers, colleagues, team members, and others. Learn to know and name your core values, understand the ‘why’ behind your boundaries and clearly define your role and responsibilities to effectively balance requests, projects, and other’s expectations.
Stress Reduction: Tools that Can Meet ANY Moment
Our minds and bodies are responding to the ever-present changes at work, school, home, and the world in deep and profound ways. And we are at a place historically of profound social reckoning across the globe. While life is always changing and uncertain, it has taken on another dimension. This session provides an overview on tools available to you at any time to alleviate the stress response, including awareness practices, the power of movement and other foundational methods as part of an effective brain training program. We will also cover the latest finding in ecopsychology and the vitality of being outdoors as a means to relieve anxiety. Join us as we explore solutions to help us to meet our lives with calmer and wiser responses and to alleviate common feelings of “enough already”. Whatever you are experiencing, these are valuable tools for clarity and peace of mind. You can show up steady and assured when change is underfoot.
Tips for Keeping Ourselves and Those Around Us Calm
Have you ever noticed that when you’re around someone calm, you feel more at ease? And that you end up feeling worse and more agitated around a panicked, worried person? We are learning now, more than ever, that we are connected to one another in inextricable ways. We can foster our own sense of calm and be able to help others do the same. The benefits of this training include, being present and more at ease, for yourself and others, shifting self-defeating habits and thoughts that get us and keep us worked up. We can then manage difficult emotions without getting overwhelmed, developing greater empathy, and cultivate patience, equanimity, and wisdom.
Work-Life Integration
We now know more than ever that our lives don’t fit neatly into ‘work’ and ‘personal’ boxes. Whether checking emails after hours, or responding to DMs over dinner, the divisions between work and personal time are often blurred. And that’s okay. Work is not separate from life; it’s part of life. In fact, at its root, the word integration means to make whole. Work-life integration means if it’s okay for work to creep into your personal time, it also means personal time sometimes takes priority over work. An integrative approach to our life reflects a stance of and/both not an either/or mentality. Join us for this hour of practical exercises and tools that promote flexibility and adaptability, requirements for a healthy and fulfilling life- a life of harmony rather than discord.
All of our sessions or classes are tailored to the needs of the individual, group or company. A consultation will determine the exact price, based on time, location, course materials, and the number of participants.
