Leading With Resilience: A New Approach to Growth, Grit, and Well-being
- Virtual PresentationKeynote PresentationWorkshop SessionHalf Day TrainingFull Day Training
Today’s leaders are being asked to do more than ever—guide through uncertainty, support employee well-being, and meet organizational goals without losing sight of their own. In this compelling keynote, Lisa Lounsbury—Resilience and Well-Being Expert—offers a fresh perspective on what it means to lead in challenging times.
Drawing from decades of experience in health and wellness—and lessons gained during a solo 350-kilometer trek across Spain—Lisa explores how resilience, mindfulness, and the ability to embrace change are no longer just personal development tools, but essential leadership strategies.
Attendees will leave with actionable insights on how to lead with intention, support both their own and their team’s well-being, and create space for growth—even during adversity. Whether you’re leading a team, a company, or your own life, this session will reignite your leadership capacity from the inside out.
Learning Objectives:
- Discover how resilience and mindfulness can strengthen your leadership impact and decision-making.
- Learn practical tools to release limiting mindsets and lead through uncertainty with confidence.
- Apply a proactive, wellness-based approach to leadership that fuels engagement, adaptability, and long-term success.
The Aging Workforce Advantage: Building Inclusive, Resilient, and Safer Teams
- Virtual PresentationKeynote PresentationWorkshop SessionHalf Day TrainingFull Day Training
As the workforce continues to age, organizations are facing new challenges—and opportunities. Menopause and andropause are real, biological transitions that can impact focus, mood, energy, and performance. Yet, they remain widely misunderstood or unspoken in the workplace, leaving many employees to silently struggle.
In this eye-opening session, Certified Wellness and Menopause Coach Lisa Lounsbury will uncover how these life transitions affect both women and men—and why leaders must prioritize well-being to build inclusive, productive, and psychologically safer workplaces. You’ll learn how empathetic communication, flexible wellness strategies, and stigma-free leadership can empower aging employees, foster team cohesion, and boost performance across all levels.
With practical solutions and real-life examples, this session invites leaders and HR professionals to rethink how they support their most experienced—and often most valuable—team members.
Learning Objectives:
- Learn how hormonal changes affect cognitive function, mood, and productivity—and how to recognize and address them with empathy and support.
- Explore communication and leadership strategies that reduce stigma, promote psychological safety, and value the contributions of midlife employees.
- Discover how making wellness a priority helps teams manage change, retain top talent, and lead with empathy, clarity, and confidence.
Fail Fast & Pivot
- Virtual PresentationKeynote PresentationWorkshop SessionHalf Day TrainingFull Day Training
Fear of failure is one of the most overlooked barriers to effective leadership. When leaders are paralyzed by the need to “get it right,” it can create a culture of hesitation, burnout, and missed opportunities—impacting not just decision-making but also the well-being of their teams.
In this thought-provoking session, we’ll examine how fear-based leadership shows up in everyday actions—often unintentionally—and how it can limit innovation, psychological safety, and team engagement. Using real-world examples, including the Abilene Paradox, we’ll unpack the hidden ways groupthink and avoidance prevent strategic growth. You’ll be challenged to reframe your relationship with failure and unlock the leadership power that comes from resilience, agility, and honest self-awareness.
This session will also introduce the “Fail Fast & Pivot” mindset as a dynamic strategy for modern leadership. Rather than seeing setbacks as threats, you’ll learn to treat them as feedback—equipping you with the clarity and confidence to shift direction, re-energize your team, and lead with purpose.
Learning Objectives:
- Recognize how fear of failure influences leadership decisions and explore how it can unknowingly erode team trust, innovation, and well-being.
- Build resilient leadership skills that allow you to embrace challenges, reframe failure, and foster psychological safety within your team.
- Develop the agility to pivot with purpose and learning when and how to shift strategy while maintaining alignment, energy, and focus across your team.
