Life has become more chaotic and uncertain than ever. Unfortunately, that means that even your best people can become unfocused, unsure, and unmotivated. Not very good for morale or the bottom line.

If you’re looking for a high-energy speaker who can relate to your people and give them a refreshingly positive perspective on navigating change, look to Dr. Susan Bernstein.

In addition to sharing a new and hopeful view on dealing with uncertainty and all the stresses and strains that can create, Dr. Bernstein teaches practical tools and techniques that you can use when you are faced with challenges.  While she’s uplifting and inspirational, Dr. Bernstein is much more than a rah-rah motivational speaker. She is deeply committed to helping individuals to sensitively identify negative attitudes and behaviors and transform them to open up new, more positive possibilities. Her speaking style literally gets people up and moving and having fun while they learn. Dr. Bernstein is an expert in relating to the problems your people face and showing them useful, memorable, enjoyable ways reduce their stress, clarify solutions, and take their next steps with confidence.

Dr. Susan Bernstein spoke to a large group of our unemployed professionals about the mind body connection.  She was dynamic and captivating, involving the audience members in physical exercises simulating what she terms “drains” and “gains” in our life and how to funnel them down into our desires.  So stimulating was her interactive presentation, I found myself totally absorbed in hearing all she had to share of her work with individuals and groups, and left wanting more, more, more! - Monica Pinsel, Walnut Creek, CA

Creating a R.O.L.E. That Truly Fits You
A recent Gallup poll reported that over 50% of Americans dislike their work.  Most people fall or stumble into their careers, which leads to distress when they then don’t know how to get unstuck.  Attendees will discover simple — yet powerful — processes for navigating their next role — one they can embody with energy and excitement. This workshop illuminates new possibilities for enhancing work, so that it provides more satisfying experiences.

Strategies for Staying Positive & Motivated, No Matter the Market
The world economy seems to be on a rollercoaster, creating a ripple effect throughout companies and organizations. It seems like no one knows what the next day will bring.  In such an environment, it’s easy to get side-tracked and fall into negativity and distress, which lowers your ability to get things done.  This presentation gives you hands-on tools you can use to upgrade your attitude, build your sense of calm, and get clear, even in the midst of chaos.  (1 hour interactive presentation; 2 hour to 2-day customized workshop)

Renewing Your Career
Even the most high-performing professionals get overwhelmed or burned out. While a vacation can be helpful, it doesn’t address the underlying issues that keep you from maximizing your potential.  This workshop helps you look at the factors that are creating distress and presents ways to renew and restore your energy and excitement about work.  (1 hour interactive presentation; 2 hour to 2-day customized workshop)

Making Sensational Decisions
The pace of change seems to be constantly increasing, making it more and more challenging to make good decisions under pressure.  Learn the neuroscience behind how we decide.  The way we process information may surprise you, as intellect alone does not promote optimal decision-making — in fact, it can lead to delays and disasters. Through experiential activities, discover how to enhance your ability to make more satisfying, beneficial decisions using the power of your embodied intelligence.
