Embrace CHANGE and grow beyond yourself.
Change starts with pausing to reclaim agency over how we think, engage, and act. As much as we believe productivity is about managing time, it’s actually about mastering our attention and focusing on what matters because business is about relationship-building, starting with the one we have with ourselves.
We have three core relationships that we cannot separate, but we need to understand the potential of interconnected relationships: self, others, and work. Unlocking the power of pausing, we change culture together because what we care about creates a ripple effect in how we think, engage, and act, transforming relationships, starting with the one we have with ourselves.
The Self-Care Mindset® is a tool for helping individuals and teams flourish, even in times of disruption and change. It’s the foundation for fostering a resilient culture, not because we can withstand more but because we are aware, adaptable, and agile.
A purpose-driven culture is a care-driven culture. A culture built on healthy human relationships aligned with what we care about. A culture where work/life quality is how we work better together because CARE is the new currency that drives peak performance, engagement, and sustainable success.
A high-performing culture is built on healthy human relationships, starting with the one we have with ourselves.
“We worked together with Jeanette to develop a session that was tailored to the needs of our organization, and she customized her speech to hit the mark. The session started a conversation that we are still having, and the power of pausing is doing the rounds…
It was a real pleasure to work with Jeanette - smooth, engaging, and inspiring!.”

KEYNOTE TOPICS that Turn stress into strength
01 POWER-PAUSING
Harness the Power of Attention: Transform Stress and Anxiety into Confidence, Growth, and Focused PurposeIn our busy world, it's easy to feel overwhelmed and stuck. We often focus on what's not working, operate in survival mode, and address urgent matters at the expense of important ones. While we can't stop change, we can learn to harness it, navigate uncertainty, and direct our attention to what truly matters—without getting trapped in draining worry.
Though stress can fuel growth, anxiety diverts our focus from what's important today in building a better tomorrow. We need to learn how to cut through the noise, think clearly, stay curious, and act confidently when it matters most.
The good news is, there's a tool for that: Power-Pausing.
In this session, you will learn the three stages of Power-Pausing. We will explore how to leverage pause to harness change and growth by unlocking our human advantage to think, engage, and act with intention, care, and purpose.
You will discover how Power-Pausing is essential for accessing the unconscious behaviors that comprise 95% of our untapped potential and unleashing the best of our human capabilities. When we pause, we become more aware, adaptable, and agile—key elements of an agile growth mindset. In our fast-paced reality, pausing isn't about taking time out; it's about using time more effectively. It's the missing link to enhanced productivity and swifter, better decision-making.
LEARNING OUTCOMES
Implement easy-to-use tools to cut through overwhelm and reclaim your attention and focus.
Ask better questions to tap into your greatest human drive: what you care about, and unlock your innate growth mindset.
Employ a simple framework for the connection, communication, and collaboration that drives engagement.
02 THE SELF-CARE MINDSET®
UNLOCKING OUR HUMAN ADVANTAGE: RETHINKING HOW WE CHANGE AND GROW BEYOND OURSELVES—FROM THE INSIDE OUT
As demands increase and change creates stress, how can we navigate daily challenges with intention and purpose instead of simply pushing through? Rather than letting uncertainty overwhelm us, how can we grow through adversity and harness change effectively?
What if we rethink self-care as a growth mindset we use throughout the day, rather than something we do to recover after work?
The Self-Care Mindset helps us transform stress into strength and anxiety into action. It combines neuroscience, emotional intelligence, mental agility, and humanity, forming the foundation for high-performing teams and fostering a culture of CARE: clarity, agility, resilience, and empowerment. This approach helps us stop stress from controlling our lives and instead uses our mindset to promote positive change, enabling us to grow beyond ourselves and enhance our personal, professional, and collective well-being—ultimately improving work-life quality and minimizing burnout.
Our relationships profoundly shape our culture. Through the Self-Care Mindset framework, we can think, engage, and act more intentionally and build stronger relationships, beginning with ourselves. At our core, what matters most drives us, and this caring nature is essential for our survival.
LEARNING OUTCOMES
Gain an understanding of how our three main relationships (self, others, work) are interconnected and their significance in the workplace.
Identify what you need to perform at your best, thereby increasing productivity, creativity, and success.
Discover how to use the CARE framework’s four questions to help you grow stronger during times of change.
Learn easy-to-use tools and strategies that can immediately be applied to unlock and harness the most essential resource we possess: our humanity.
03 CARE-DRIVEN LEADERSHIP®
A SUSTAINABLE APPROACH TO LEADING THROUGH CHANGE AND DISRUPTION –TOGETHER
Leading through change requires new skills to navigate with clarity and confidence. In today's rapidly evolving world, agility is crucial for growth. When change creates tension, stress, and conflict within our teams, we need effective tools to strengthen human connections and overcome challenges collaboratively.
Rather than attempting to control, manage, and predict change, modern leaders must master the art of pausing, listening, and asking thoughtful questions to support their teams. Our priority should be fostering a culture of psychological safety where every team member feels valued and supported.
Through the C.A.R.E. framework, we can develop emotional agency and transform the stress of change through curiosity, acknowledgment, respect, and empathy.
Leaders can immediately implement practical tools and strategies to guide themselves and their teams toward lasting success during periods of change. These straightforward techniques are designed for immediate application in your daily leadership practice.
LEARNING OUTCOMES
Cultivate a work environment where people engage, innovate, and grow.
Engage in meaningful conversations that lead to better decisions and results and foster an inclusive and accountable team environment.
Unlock our human advantage to think, engage, act with care and purpose, and grow through adversity with awareness, adaptability, agility, and fun.
04 A CULTURE OF CARE®
Building an Agile Culture Where People Harness Change and Grow Stronger TogetherLife and work continue accelerating, demanding more from us each day. Our attention spans are stretched thin, making focusing on what truly matters increasingly tricky. Our fundamental need for safety faces unprecedented challenges as uncertainty and constant change test our sense of control.
How do we build strong, healthy relationships that nurture an agile culture of change? It begins with our relationship with ourselves and flows into how we connect with others. The quality of our relationships shapes our culture. When we prioritize our humanity at work, we create a culture that embodies care.
Imagine a culture where we pause to focus our collective attention with purpose. A culture where everyone feels valued and finds meaning in their work. A culture where we extend genuine care to those we serve and stay true to what matters most.
While leaders often believe their role is to care for people, true leadership means caring about people—asking what they need to regain agency over their work and lives. This approach creates a workplace that embraces change and growth, tapping into our shared human advantage to connect, communicate, and collaborate with intention, care, and purpose. A Culture of Care® puts the well-being of all individuals at its heart.
You and your teams will master the art of pausing, listening, and asking deeper questions to become more aware, adaptable, and agile. Together, you'll grow through challenges, building a culture where C.A.R.E. means Confidence, Agility, Resilience, and Empowerment.
LEARNING OUTCOMES
Engage in meaningful conversations that cultivate connection and build stronger relationships.
Foster an inclusive and accountable team environment.
Harness simple strategies to align your company values with outcomes and impact.
05 MICRO SESSIONS
HUMANITY AT WORK
What’s on your mind? What’s the challenge you and your team need to overcome? What do you need to thrive, reconnect and harness change in a post pandemic work-culture? How do you cultivate connection, engagement, and growth when the whole company has already pushed so hard to work through the pandemic? How do you balance work and life when there’s no natural beginning and end to the day? How do you show your team that you care about their whole human health and you want them to care about it too? How do you give your people the tools to navigate their emotional wellbeing and mental health and encourage a healthy relationship with resilience?
I’m sure we can keep going with the questions that might be on your mind and the questions your people are asking themselves every day too. A conversational keynote is an open session where we will address any of these questions and as many as we can. Anything from 45 - 90 min sessions. Casual, open mic or facilitated chat. Panel or not. You choose, I make it happen. This is not a presentation with slides, it’s a sit down with you, your leaders, your team or a panel from your team and you get to ask me anything and we will care about a healthy future for everyone, together.
Redefining success and an inclusive culture by rethinking self-care and cultivate better communication.
UNSTRESS
What if stress and burnout doesn't come from working too much, but rather from worrying too much? We have so many questions every day, most of them unproductive, and we end up getting stuck in thoughts that drain our energy, suck up our creativity, and wear us out. What if stress is not the problem, but rather the possibility for growth? The way our mind works is either working for us or against us, depending on how we ask questions of ourselves.
The Right Why® is a process of getting unstuck and using productive self-questioning to move from stress to problem solving, from confusion to clarity, and from fear and anxiety to courage and confidence. Using elements from The Self-Care Mindset® we can hone in on how we support ourselves in becoming more resilient and master stress to work for us.
Let’s get to know our mind better so that it can work for us rather than against us.
