Power of the Positive
Carrie Stack, Say Yes Institute
As a woman and a leader, how do you maintain the ability to take care of yourself, show up every day to find or focus on the positive, and lead with energy and optimism?
This workshop will focus on building emotional intelligence skills, particularly as EQ correlates to handling stress, building a culture of support, and balancing empathy with self-care, all while navigating the multi-layered demands of our endless personal and professional roles and responsibilities.
Using humor, real world examples, and the experience of working with tens of thousands of people across the country, Carrie will share her most popular tools and strategies to help women take care of themselves and focus on the positive, in all parts of life.
