The Winds of Change: Resilience for Companies, Organizations and IndividualsIn the midst of the chaos and uncertainty of our economic times, Dr. Will Miller offers a much-needed nugget of optimism and humor. Dr. Will is uniquely prepared to help people and organizations to not just survive, but thrive with a bright outlook to the future. It's all about resilience. Dr. Will gives REAL practical advice you can use when you walk out the door to manage your life and your work. He'll give you the resources needed to move in a positive direction when life's challenges and changes seem too much to manage.
The Winds of Change is an inspiring and instructive message that goes beyond coping. It's about establishing equilibrium in your life when the rest of the world seems to have gone mad and out of balance. Dr. Will discusses the impact of retreat and isolation, the wealth of reserve you can tap into free of charge and the three factors that define resilience: temperament, love and support of family, and the broader support of community. A unique blend of resilience expert, psychotherapist specializing in corporate culture, author and stand-up comedian, Dr. Will and his presentations are inspiring, interactive, enlightening and fun.
Today's pace spells stress! Juggling career and home lives - essential to success, meaning, and happiness - adds to it. How can you prosper at work and enjoy a satisfying, replenishing home life? Ask Dr. Will Miller. He'll deliver a lively performance-presentation packed with perspective and practical tips on achieving equilibrium. Key to that, he tells audiences, are real and claimed family - those relationships where people feel comfortable opening each others' refrigerators. Inspiring and instructive, Dr. Will mixes message and comedy in a welcome break from technical sessions. He hits hard with insights on stresses that affect achievers, then steps away from the podium with clean, sensitive and hilarious routines to underscore his points. Refrigerator Rights - an important message and a lively show - works well as a keynote, after-lunch, after-dinner and workshop presentation.
From Change Through Stress to a Solution"CHANGE is inevitable. CHANGE is constant." ~ Benjamin Disraeli
Modern American life is overwhelmed by change. Life, work and even technology seem to be changing in the blink of an eye. It is a well-established fact that change, any change, causes stress. It stands to reason then, that in our culture where change is ubiquitous America leads the developed world in stress related disorders. This has a measurable effect on companies, organizations and families.
Stress affects worker productivity, satisfaction, physical and emotional health...in other words the bottom line!
How can we alleviate the stress? Simply "trying harder" by ourselves is not the best answer. The real solution may surprise you. Dr. Will Miller's presentation is grounded in the best that social science has to offer. It has personal impact and will effect real change in your organization.
