Keynote Presentation / Workshops

Topic 1:

7 Strategies for Surviving and Thriving with 'Change' - in Business & Life

Life is not about ‘just hanging in there and surviving’, it’s about opportunities to express your talents and enhance your abilities and intelligence. It’s about making a difference in an environment that is constantly changing.

However, change that is forced upon us is especially difficult to deal with.

A reluctance to change is a natural human response, however, without satisfactory coping skills, change can work against us. It can leave a person feeling drained and unmotivated by all the negative emotional feelings, and it can result in conflict, destructive behaviour and loss of productivity.

Regardless of whether you are having change thrust on you or you are heading up the change, there are effective strategies which you can implement to help you to efficiently navigate your way through any adjustments enabling you to achieve your desired outcomes with great success.

In this presentation participants will learn:

  • How to change a mindset from 'fixed and rigid' to 'flexible and growth'
  • To use core values as a driving force for motivation and direction
  • How to identify negative beliefs and sabotaging patterns
  • The difference between activity and productivity
  • How to communicate clearly and confidently
  • How to stay relaxed and focused in challenging times
  • How to maintain and sustain a healthy attitude.

Topic 2:

Work-Life Balance - Get it right, avoid the pitfalls and BE Balanced, Bold & in Control...

Many people are working at an unsustainable rate both at home, and on the job. With stiff competition in business, constant changes in technology and laws, growing families and social commitments, people have overwhelming to-do lists which keep them running at a frantic pace, sleep deprived and exhausted - eventually something’s bound to give.

The need to create a well-balanced work/life is essential to your happiness, health and personal and professional satisfaction and success.

Innovative and effective techniques shared in this presentation will leave you inspired and motivated to put the passion and fun back into all areas of life. You will gain the knowledge to maintain and sustain long term motivation, energy, and boldness to aspire to greater heights, both personally and professionally.

In this presentation you will learn how to:

  • Eliminate and Minimise worry and stress
  • Create more time in your day at home, and at work
  • Increase emotional intelligence and boost vitality and confidence
  • Pinpoint areas that need attention
  • Be happy and motivated
  • Expand comfort zone with ease to improve creativity and capabilities
  • Maintain and sustain health and wellness
  • Spark up relationships
  • Improve sleep.

Topic 3:

Stress Less 4 Success - Stress buster strategies for a happy life-work

Stress is your body's way of responding to any kind of demand. It can be caused by both good and bad experiences.

Stress is a response you have when faced with challenging situations. Your brain becomes alert and the body produces normal healthy stress chemicals that provide you with the energy, motivation and drive to cope in times of crisis. It gives you the rev you need to perform daily challenges both at home and in the workplace. Stress in these situations motivates you to meet your goals such as work deadlines, sales targets or accepting a new position.

After meeting these challenges your psychological and physiological response returns to a naturally relaxed state and you feel satisfied, fulfilled, happy, and given time, ready to plan your next challenge.

However, when the challenges of work, home or life in general become too demanding you begin to see negative signs. Too much stress causes a negative impact on your health and your ability to enjoy life.

Stress busting strategies are an essential part of living a happy, healthy, fulfilling and successful life.

In this presentation participants learn how to:

  • Identify stress triggers and symptoms
  • Reduce stress at home and in the workplace
  • Eliminate stress chemicals from the body
  • Strengthen the immune system
  • Increase Emotional Resilience
  • Relax
  • Police negative thoughts and eliminate worry and fear
  • Manage and eliminate unhealthy habits and behaviours
  • Improve and maintain healthy relationships
  • Get a good night’s sleep.

PLEASE NOTE: Topics can be adjusted to Keynote presentations and ½ day to full day workshops depending on the client’s needs.

 

What people have to say TOP

"Engaging Gael Drum to conduct a session on work/life balance for the NAB North Coast Business banking team was a great investment in my people for the outstanding results they achieved in the past 12 months. Given they all had worked so hard, Gael's session was well received and gave the team alternative ideas as to how they could continue to work hard but also have a personal life. Gael has some real life antidotes that really hit home and make you take the time to reflect on what you do. The session was also great fun with laughter and enjoyment built in. I would certainly recommend Gael as a great presenter for business teams."
Wayne Edwards

NAB Managing Partner, North Coast NSW

Gael was one of the keynote presenters at the inaugural Australian Virtual Assistant Conference – VIVA 2009. Gael’s presentation was full of energy and provided the delegates with a thought provoking session on avoiding burnout. Her stories and actions were both entertaining and hilarious and generated a lot of laughter in the room. Delegates left the session motivated to review their work/life balance and inspired by Gael’s presentation to do better. We could not have asked for a better result and highly recommend Gael as a speaker for your event.

I extend sincere thanks to Gael for her contribution to a most successful conference held at Novotel, PBR Coffs Harbour. The attendees of ACP enjoyed Gael’s presentation due to her enthusiasm and ability to 'read the crowd'. We hope Gael enjoyed ACP as much as we enjoyed having her.

I would highly recommend Gael to any organisation seeking an emotive speaker - and one who can bring great inspiration to the audience.
I. Mason

I would like to recommend Gael Drum as a speaker. She was friendly, humorous, clear and spoke with real conviction from personal experience. She gave us suggested strategies and solutions to give us some 'tools in the toolbox'. She made available CD's and written material that could be purchased by any who chose to take it further. Gael's vision was one we could all relate to, and her inclusion in our programme was well received by the participants.
