Yet once your mind becomes settled, everything becomes clearer. Stress lifts. Decisions come more easily. Relationships deepen, and life is lots more fun! When ANY person cultivates a settled, peaceful mind, they benefit. But when a LEADER cultivates mindfulness, their entire organization benefits. In her most popular talk, The Snow Globe Effect, Lydia shares the science and art of cultivating a settled, happy mind. HOW TO LOVE YOUR JOB (and your life)—Organizations with happy, engaged employees are more productive and more profitable. They have less turnover, less absenteeism, and less burn-out among their senior leaders—and creating a happy workforce is nearly free! In this powerful motivational speech, Lydia will offer your team a scientifically-based approach, challenging your employees to take responsibility for their own happiness at work. On top of motivating and generating excitement in your team, it's the secret to a healthy organization. UNCOVERING YOUR BRILLIANCE—Organizations rarely lack talent. Far too often they swell with unrealized talent and untapped brilliance. The trouble is, people spend a lot of time and energy trying to lead like (and act like) someone else. This is a recipe for discouragement, confusion, and burn-out. In this two-hour presentation, Lydia will inspire your people to uncover their own natural brilliance and lead from that place.
