Lori Darley- The Transitions Coach

Lori Darley speaks on:

  • Personal Accountability: It Doesn’t Take a Rocket Scientist – Research shows that accountability is a key to success but stunningly lacking in most people. Learn how you can create a culture of personal accountability and responsibility without the “preaching.”
  • EÂł: It’s the Manager, Stupid! – People leave managers, not companies. Find out what you can do to create Extraordinary Employee Engagement (EÂł).
  • The Dance of Leadership – Learn how to take an embodied stand for your vision and connect deeply to what’s most important to you as you engage your team at a whole new level.
  • The Quarter-Second That Will Change Your Life – Change generates emotion. Research shows you have a quarter-second to shift from an “amygdala hijack” to a state of centered presence where making an informed choice is now possible. Learn how to move out of the survival zone and into the power zone by creating a more effective relationship with your emotions.
  • Dancing Naked: Moving through Life with Power, Vulnerability and Grace – A provocative look at authentic self-expression and how stepping into your true self brings clarity, freedom and joy to your life.
  • Before You Even Open Your Mouth – We’re always communicating something. The question is: are you aware of what you’re communicating? Discover how your nonverbal cues can create or destroy trust in a split second.
  • Don’t Take It So Personally – Was that my fault? Knee-jerk reactions are simply a human being’s most common response to a wide variety of events. This humorous speech takes on a very human frailty and offers useful tools to take back your personal power when it seems everything and everyone is reacting to you.
