Keynotes
Hope IS a Strategy
It’s a juxtaposition on the common phrase “hope is not a strategy”; there is ample research that shows physical health, mental health, employee engagement, resiliency, productivity and many other outcomes improve when individuals tap into hope. It also reframes the definition of hope, which can sometimes be seen as a wish, to “the belief that my future will be better than my present and I have the ability to make it so” thus making hope an active verb. Everyone who has ever been successful has tapped into hope, whether realizing it or not. By learning strategies to intentionally access hope, we can drive desired outcomes.
Popularizing a more accurate but lesser known definition of hope, stated above, as coined by American Phycologist Charles Snyder to reframe Hope as the powerful force that it is. Using a HOPE acronym for catchy content that gives listeners tools to intentionally cultivate hope. Sharing, in part, a unique, heart-wrenching story about York that will captivate listeners as well as relatable business struggles and breakthroughs. And also incorporating hope research and data points that reinforce the empirical evidence that hope IS a strategy.
AMBITION is Everything
Using the acronym AMBITION to reframe lackluster performance through asking questions to bring out ones action, momentum, belief, intention, transformation, impact, opportunity, and never giving up. In doing so, individuals and organizations can realize massive improvement.
In recognizing that most individuals are hired believing they have what it takes to be successful in a role and yet, stagnation is extremely common and costly to organizations. The AMBITION acronym gives listeners memorable tools to either self-produce or guide a team member through a process of breaking out of a rut.
Take Your Business / Career / Company / Team to New Heights
This part walks someone through the post-decision emotions, hazardous attitudes, and crucial habit development from the mid-cingulet cortex. Helping people realize it’s normal to feel a roller-coaster of emotions but there is a process to ensure we don’t stay in the “valley of despair” by adopting hazardous attitudes, but instead developing use-or-lose habits like grit and perseverance that only expand when we challenge ourselves.
Unique content: The post-decision emotional path plus the FAA hazardous attitudes and the awareness around the mid-cingluet cortex, which is responsible for habits of persistence and grit, are all combined with a “flight” theme to catch the audience’s attention.
