Signature Talk:Rise Up For You - The Time Is Now!

The data from Gallup’s latest World Happiness Report shows that Americans’ well-being and happiness had declined in all 50 states between 2009 and 2017. Although salary and other economic factors play important roles, once basic needs are met, well-being is determined by positive relationships, engagement, health, and a personal sense of meaning, purpose, and accomplishment.

The reality is that in the trenches of day-to-day life, most of us struggle to manage family, work, finances, health, and outside expectations—leaving precious little time for self-care and personal development. With so many commitments absorbing our time, we can easily find ourselves with little to no energy to produce the results we're hoping for. This tension is amplified when we know what we want, but don't know how to achieve it.

In this talk, Rise Up For You - Becoming Your Best Self, Nada breaks down the Six Pillars of Life and how they affect our behaviors and happiness. Through an exploration of the six pillars to a thriving life, Nada offers evidence-based strategies and practices for optimal well-being and success. When we find alignment within our own lives, we can better align with others in our workspaces, communities, and homes.

In this interactive workshop, you will learn:

  • The benefits of focusing on the whole person and why in today's world, it is more necessary and valuable than ever before.
  • The importance of the Six Pillars to a Prosperous Life and how the happiest people in the world utilize them to create a thriving life.
  • How to identify the areas of your life that are prospering and the areas that are in need of a shift and transformation.
  • Practical tools to help you create a manageable action plan that can propel you to the next step in becoming your best self.

Your time is now to start the journey in becoming your best self!

Building Career Confidence: #1 Skill You Need Now!

Are you constantly doubting yourself and getting in your own way? Does the thought of self-promotion make you want to cringe? Is the negative self-talk in your head getting louder and louder, limiting your overall success in life? If so, you’re not alone!

Men and women around the world have expressed their frustrations and struggles as they climb the career ladder or achieve next-level results in their personal and professional lives. With years of coaching men and women on career confidence and leadership strategies, Nada has recognized the top four challenges for professionals. Do these sound familiar?

  • Imposter Syndrome- Not feeling good enough or afraid that you don't bring enough value to the table.
  • Self-Promotion- Struggling with the idea of advocating for and asserting yourself when needed for work promotions, networking, and new opportunities.
  • Climbing the Career Ladder- Feeling unsure how to climb the ladder and get to the next step in your career. Often includes feelings of being unseen and unheard.
  • Taking Risk- Finding it difficult to take risks at appropriate times, potentially missing out on advances for you and your career.

So You Want to Be a Leader? How to Show Up and Be a Real Change-maker

Around the world, the most successful companies know that positive leadership is not only effective—it is absolutely necessary. According to Wharton professor Adam Grant, when it comes to the best leaders, they say, “Look, the most meaningful way to succeed is to help other people succeed, to advance a vision or an idea or a project that is bigger than me, that’s going to affect a lot of people.” The most effective leaders understand that, in the words of psychologist, Chris Peterson, “Other people matter.”

Positive leadership markedly increases employee engagement, alleviates friction in high-pressure situations and times of transition, and produces dramatic results. Effective leaders have the skill to develop high-impact relationships and a culture of collaboration to drive positive change and innovation, deliver value to customers, and radically improve their organization’s bottom line.

In this educational talk, Nada breaks down how to become a transformational leader who naturally cultivates respect and loyalty. She teaches you how to maximize your results, increase productivity, and create a booming, inspirational team culture, all with just three simple shifts in how you lead. Together, you will dive into authentic transformational leadership, creative flow, and what it means to be in the trenches.

You will walk away understanding how to:

  • Create a transformational culture, increases productivity and innovation, and develops self-driven motivation equaling better results.
  • Connect and relate with your individuals on a deeper level, helping to foster a professional, healthy work environment.
  • Positively influence, encourage, and inspire others to reach their full potential.
  • Get your team to work because they want to, not because they have to.
  • Develop thriving relationships with a community of people.

This signature talk is open and beneficial to those in upper management positions, as well as those with a desire to lead and influence others positively.
