Take Back The Power of Connection Motivational Speaker from Boulder, CO

How to reclaim our best in a busy and distracted world This is a heartfelt, personal, motivational talk about harnessing the power of a connection in time when we are drifting apart. We look at what it means for our brains and our relationships to live in a world full of distraction and busy-ness. We question what comes next if we continue in this direction, and how to head into the current and choose the best versions of ourselves, our business and our world. Objectives: 1. To motivate and inspire the audience to prioritize connection and personal accountability 2. To challenge people to see the epidemic of isolation our country faces 3. To give brain-based tools for teams to manage stress and create meaningful connections Emily's keynote experiences inspire people to question the status quo and consider their communication and trust building challenges from a fresh new perspective. Through story telling, interactive experiences, humor and vulnerability, she promotes thoughtful reflection, creates a shared vocabulary around new ideas, and provides tools people can apply immediately to see change.
