Topics, Sessions And Talks
Today’s workplace requires employees to navigate sensitive topics with precision, emotional intelligence, and professionalism. In this timely keynote, Dr. Chloe equips leaders and teams with psychologically grounded tools and techniques to communicate clearly, reduce unnecessary conflict, and preserve trust, without walking on eggshells. Based on her new book, Can I Say That? Why Free Speech Matters and How to Use It Fearlessly, this talk helps teams and organizations foster thoughtful dialogue while maintaining strong culture, morale, and performance.
In this signature talk based on techniques from Dr. Chloe Carmichael’s bestselling book, Nervous Energy: Harness the Power of Your Anxiety, Dr. Chloe will outline up to nine tools with step-by-step instructions to help attendees reframe anxiety into a positive source of energy and focus that actually facilitates a more productive and fulfilling life.
Attendees will learn:
· If managed properly, the nervous energy that some people label as anxiety can actually be a welcome source of stimulation.
· How to direct and control excess energy in a positive, productive way.
· How to increase creativity and motivation through building skills of focus and concentration.
Leaders often embrace new responsibilities and step out of their comfort zones, which can be both a strength and a source of stress. In this workshop, Dr. Chloe Carmichael reframes stress as a potential growth opportunity and offers practical ways to manage it. She provides strategies to set boundaries around stress, deciding which stressors to tackle and which to delegate or eliminate. Attendees will learn techniques to relax the body and mind, manage stress proactively, prioritize growth opportunities, and reframe their relationship with stress to reduce "stress about stress."
We all know that we are living through incredibly turbulent times. While there is no panacea, the good news is that we absolutely can bolster our resilience by taking the time to consider our individual situation carefully; and then augmenting our toolbox of skills to navigate these unprecedented times as smoothly and wisely as possible. Clinical psychologist and former yoga teacher Dr. Chloe Carmichael, author of Nervous Energy: Harness the Power of Your Anxiety (Macmillan, 2021) will give your team the practical tools to achieve this.
Attendees will learn:
· How to increase their capacity for self-reliance, while also making sure to maximize their support networks.
· Stay emotionally aware of stressors so they can practice self-care, while also learning to keep stressors in perspective.
· Set boundaries in their personal relationships around conflict-laden topics, while also increasing our ability for healthy communication even in a disagreement.
Many high-functioning people struggle with perfectionism. They may even be somewhat attached to their perfectionism because they associate it with a willingness to notice and correct their mistakes, a high level of conscientiousness and a desire to deliver their best effort.
However, many people are aware that their perfectionism may ironically be blocking them from learning new skills or giving their best performance. Perfectionism can also be demotivating, distracting, and draining of our energy. Constant second-guessing can result in procrastination, irritability, and reduced engagement. Dr Chloe is here to teach them how to extract the positive aspects of perfectionism while shedding the negatives. She emphasizes how to harness perfectionism into a more productive and joyful approach to work, relationships, or anywhere else where perfectionism may hinder success. Attendees will learn new perspectives and tools to manage perfectionism (almost!) perfectly.
Networking is an essential skill that can bring unparalleled success in a person’s personal and professional life. In this session, Dr. Chloe Carmichael provides strategies and real-time activities to overcome networking nerves, and fully maximize the network you are building.
Dr. Chloe has presented on networking for various organizations including Baker McKenzie (the third largest law firm in the world) and has many inspiring stories to share about how networking has benefitted her both personally and professionally.
