Engaging the Spirit of Leadership in HealthcareIn times of profound, rapid change in the healthcare industry, it is not enough to engage just the mind. One must also tap into the heart and the spirit. The question is how does one do that? In this presentation, McDargh addresses how to "engage the spirit and uncover soul in the workplace". You will explore the "blind spots" of management practices and learn the critical skills for creating spirit in your healthcare setting.
The most human of all connections is conversation...an internal and external event that has become blurred. We’ve forgotten how to talk to each other, if in fact some of us ever knew. In many instances, we have never been taught how to listen. At the deepest level, we’ve probably never stopped long enough to even listen to ourselves. And at times of crisis, these conversations become even more important. This presentation explores a model for understanding and growing the conversations we have with ourselves and with each other so that everyone becomes fully engaged in the work we are tasked to do. And you’ll also celebrate the power of humor to connect. Be prepared to think, laugh, and learn.
Work for a Living and Still Be Free to LiveHow can you work smart and live happier? Is it even possible in this fast-paced, frantic world? From senior executives to front line employees, this issue is key to the changing nature of America's workforce and today's world. In this insightful and interactive program, audiences learn why traditional models of balance no longer work in these times of change, acquire the skills to "sail" within the five critical areas of living, and develop personal strategies for creating "a life by design, not by default."
In times of uncertainty and life-altering events, the ability to not only survive but also thrive is an inside out task. This is no Pollyanna presentation but rather the results of research and interviews with people who have "made it through". You'll learn coping strategies, how to self-talk for optimism, and the power of synchronicity. There's something here for everyone - laughter and tears will all flow from the same well.
Woman to Woman: Remaking Our Lives RemarkableA keynote presentation for reliving and laughing about our foibles, for celebrating our uniqueness, for renewing our passion and commitment to life, and for establishing the common traits which allow all of us to bloom where we are planted. We can learn to be heroines of our own story and leaders shaping tomorrow for all our children.
