Speaking Topics

Resilient Cultures and Conversations

One conversation. One exchange of words spoken, written, typed, texted, or posted can change the direction and ultimately the outcome. Conversations create culture. And yet, the skill and practice of creating culture-building conversations is given little attention and less intention in most organizations. The hurry and hustle sabotages capacity, connection and clarity may be unintentional, but the fall out is devastating. Explore strategies and stories that inspire creating conversations with the end in mind. Conversations that build resilience in those influence by our words.

Leading in the Middle

For those in leadership positions challenges and disruptions can lead to exhaustion, reactive responses, cultivated apathy and disconnection. As we pour out and dismiss our own experiences, we burn out. There are strategies and hope that can transform our leadership and those we are called to lead.

Resilience in the Middle

The challenges mount as our capacity seems to deplete. The result is exhaustion, disconnection and settling for a survival mentality that influences how we live and lead. Sandy offers a research-based framework and practical tools to move towards greater alignment and the anchoring we crave especially in the middle of a challenge.

Aligned & Anchored Living | Faith Focused

The voices are loud. Around us and within us. Voices that shout we aren't doing enough, aren't enough. Voices that hinder us from aligning to what matters. Voices that sabotage our ability to create, practice and maintain margins that allow us to be more present, innovative and design a calendar that aligns to what we value. Sandy creates an opportunity for women to identify the barriers that sabotage alignment and often create confusion and exhaustion. Then guides them in exploring strategies like margins that emerge clarity on next steps towards what they value and a soul satisfying alignment to what matters!

Peace in the Middle | Faith Focused

The pace and intensity of life can lead us to exhaustion and discouragement regardless of the season of life we are in. As women, we often default to strategies of striving, trying harder, ignoring, or grasping at temporary solutions to cope with the stressors. The problem is, they eventually leave us feeling even more discouraged and depleted. What if there is a different way? A Resource bigger than ourselves that not only offers us peace, but is the very essence of Peace?
