Session Objective: Powerful tools for stress management & work-life balance
Session Description: Catch a breeze...Fill your sails delivers a simple yet powerful message about how our attitudes and perceptions impact our ability to manage work-life conflict and the stress in our lives. This workshop encourages people to: take a peek at what matters most in their lives; assess their current balance; determine areas of greatest need; and, incorporate strategies to help achieve greater control over life & challenges.
If it is easy to remember, easy to use and actually works...then people are going to practice it. Catch a breeze...Fill your sails is just such a program. By learning to use Management by 3's along with the Sanity Savers, participants will be better equipped to cope with problems, manage stress and make decisions with greater confidence. Like a breath of fresh air, this workshop will help boost work-life balance and reduce stress. As one participant enthusiastically declared, "Attend and be amazed at how simple the program is."

The Power of Today...the Lure of Tomorrow: |
Session Objective: A presentation on the guiding principles of living each day.
Session Description: This presentation highlights the importance of each day and explains why everyday happiness is equally as important as planning for the future.
People change when they come to the realization that every day is a precious commodity and that planning exclusively for tomorrow is a major liability. We act and react very differently when we place more value on the present. This realization reflects in increased performance, better decisions and a more thoughtful way in which to relate to others.
|
Uncommon Retirements: |
What's hip, what's cool, and what is there to do?
Session Objective: Awareness of retirement trends and lifestyle choices; plus new ideas and a world of possibilities that can be pursued in retirement. Develop a vision of your own retirement.
Session Description: Debunk the myths while exploring the realities of what retirements are more likely to look like today. Become aware of the lifestyle choices that are rapidly becoming popular among new-age retirees. Examine the choices and begin to develop a vision of the kind of retirement you want to work toward.
|
The Sandwich Generation: |
Keeping your cool when the heat's turned up
Session Objective: Tips and tools that will help you find sanity amidst the competing needs of children and aging parents.
Session Description: Nothing spells stress like a 'Sandwich' or 'Club-Sandwich' Generation. Learn specific strategies to ease the pressure of multi-generational responsibilities.
While many people are finding themselves caught in the 'Sandwich Generation,' there remain few places to turn to for help or advice. And, as family responsibilities mount, it becomes increasingly more difficult to prevent these demands from affecting people in the workplace. Having been there, done that, and about to do it again, I have learned how the right attitude and certain approaches can make these challenging times a bit less daunting, and perhaps even rewarding.

Workplace Legacies |
Session Objective: Explore the different ways in which, when you retire, you can leave a living legacy behind you.
Session Description: Everyone hopes to be remembered for their hard work and dedication but few are ever so fortunate. Learn what you can start doing today to build a living legacy - that you will be fondly remembered by associates and colleagues, and your good work will continue after you have left.
It is not uncommon for retirees to want to be remembered by contributions they made to the workplace. Unfortunately, without an outstanding effort, this rarely happens. At the same time, workplaces mourn the loss of many talented and experienced staff. By educating staff on ways to leave a living legacy, we are able to fulfill a basic desire of retirees while at the same time, giving organizations a tangible way to capture the wisdom and experience of departing members.

Midlife Mayhem: |
A lighthearted look at the midlife years
Session Objective: Learn to take life a little less seriously
Session Description: In a day and age when midlife workers are faced with a barrage of challenges, nothing soothes the soul or brightens the spirit like a lighthearted look at life as we fail to see it.
Good humour is a model for personal wellness. It lifts spirits and energy level, reduces anxiety, is engaging and entertaining, and enhances quality of life. A measure of good humour translates into better relationships at home, in the workplace, and within the community.
