Daring Greatly™
“It is not the critic who counts. … The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena; whose face is marred by the dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly … who, at worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly.” Theodore Roosevelt
This topic is based on the research of Dr. Brené Brown. It examines the thoughts, emotions and behaviors that are holding us back from being our best in our families, classrooms, organizations and work groups, while focusing on the development of shame resilience skills, and the daily practices of individuals that transform the way we live, love and lead.
Rising Strong™
Reckon and rumble with your story until you come to a place of truth. Rising Strong™ after a fall is how we cultivate wholeheartedness. While organizations and individuals may have times of struggle, regardless of the scope of the challenge, the process of Rising Strong™ remains the same.
Learn to look with “curiosity” instead of judgement. Discover how your perceptions and reactions impact your feelings and behaviors. Understand how the values of the organization and those of other individuals influences how the organization functions.
Rising Strong is a book written by Dr. Brené Brown based in her research. Kimberly Malloy is a Certified Daring Way Facilitator and a licensed Marriage & Family Therapist and will present this topic.
Dare to Lead™
Based on the book by renowned author and researcher, Dr. Brené Brown, Dare To Lead™ challenges common myths about workplace culture. Kimberly Malloy, CDTLF & LMFT, will address the importance of vulnerability, values, trust, and resilience, while identifying the characteristics of daring leaders and armored leaders.
Understanding Your Personality in Conflict
We are not created exactly alike, experience life the same or even witness an event with the same lens and therefore, at times, conflicts arise, even when we have pure motives.
This topic is both fun and informative. We will discuss your driving core motive personality, self-awareness in the area of Emotional Intelligence and your own tendencies to react in conflict. Yet, conflict doesn’t have to cause anxiety, but can be an opportunity to create deeper connections and really understand others.
Emotions & Healthy Relationships
Why do we do and say what we do? This topic explores a host of emotions besides happy, sad or angry while learning to identify what we feel. We will touch on emotional literacy, how to accurately identify emotions, self-regulating skills and we will walk away with ideas how to manage emotions that will lead to healthier relationships in life and work.
Trauma Informed Care & Resilience
Everyone is going through some kind of trauma. How we respond to these people can be crucial. This topic will look at what trauma is, different types of trauma and the impact it has on our body, mind and soul. The audience will peer into the predictive nature of our brain and offer a framework and tools to challenge our thinking, and hopefully change our reactions towards others experiencing trauma and learn to walk with them to help them heal.
We will address ACE’s and PCE’s to help us recognize and respond to the effects of all types of trauma.
Trust Building
Everyone has done something that has destroyed trust in a relationship, be it at work or at home. The statement “I can’t trust you” or “I can’t even trust myself” is hard to say but is it absolutely true?.
This topic will take a look at the seven activities we can work on to rebuild the trust we have in others and with ourselves. This will be focused on Dr. Brené Brown’s acronym BRAVING™ which helps break down trust into observable, measurable and defined behaviors. Boundaries, Reliability, Accountability, Vault, Integrity, Non-Judgment and Generosity. Anytime we can be on the same page and communicate with understanding helps our trust grow and deepens relationships.
Finding and Keeping our Pockets Full of Joy
“We cannot cure the world of sorrows, but we can choose to live in joy.” Joseph Campbell
These past two years have been filled with disappointment, anxiety and frustration. As a result, many of us have become skilled in “dress rehearsing” for tragedy while waiting for the other shoe to drop. But a new season is approaching and with it the perfect time to make healthy changes for our emotional and mental health. It’s time to grow gratitude as a way of life!
This topic focuses on beliefs and patterns that keep us from choosing and keeping joy. We will identify what is robbing us of joy and find ways to live in our values while using creativity to create more joy in our lives. It includes the importance of spring cleaning the mind to improve our thoughts, attitudes, actions and speech.
Curiosity Starts Here
We all know that anxiety is contagious. Can healing be contagious, too? This topic will address our triggers, the stories we tell ourselves, and how we can walk along somebody in their darkest time. We will talk about the concept of leaning in vs. leaning out, calming our nervous system, teaching others to do the same, and the idea of healing being contagious.
