Pause to think, engage, and act with CARE.
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 to help individuals and teams to 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.
SELF-CARE IS A GROWTH MINDSET, AND THE FOUNDATION FOR A well-being CULTURE OF CARE® WHERE PEOPLE BELONG, ENGAGE, AND WORK BETTER together.
“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:
01 POWER-PAUSING
HARNESSING THE POWER OF ATTENTION AND FOCUS ON WHAT MATTERS.
In a busy world, it's easy to get overwhelmed and stuck. It’s easy to focus on what's not working, to feel like we are running in survival mode, to fix the urgent at the expense of the important. But we can’t stop busy. However, we can be busy better by learning how to navigate uncertainty and harness change without the worry that wears us out.
Stress like that distracts us from doing our best work. To focus on what matters today for a better tomorrow, we must learn to cut through the noise, think clearly, engage with curiosity, and act confidently when we need it the 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 pause for 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 critical for accessing the unconscious behaviors that make up 95% of our untapped potential and unlocking the best of our human skills. Not only that, but when we pause, we become more aware, adaptable, and agile, which is at the core of a resilient growth mindset. In our fast-paced reality, pausing is not about taking time out; it’s how we spend time better, and it is the missing link to being more productive and making better decisions faster.
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 TO GROW THROUGH CHANGE TOGETHER
The demands on us are increasing, and change is stressful, but how can we navigate daily challenges with intent and care instead of just continuing to push through and work harder?
Instead of allowing uncertainty to freeze us up or burn us out, how can we grow through adversity and harness change? And how do we do our best when time is limited and we’re exhausted?
The world has changed, work has changed, and we have changed, but our relationship with self-care—the very foundation of performance—has remained the same.
Not only that, what if we have self-care all wrong? What if self-care is not what we do after work to recover but rather a mindset we have with us all day long? What if self-care is how we support ourselves in spending time better?
The self-care mindset intersects emotional intelligence, mental agility, and our humanity to guide us. It’s the foundation for positive change and growth. It’s how we harness well-being and reclaim work-life quality to reach our goals without burning out.
The power of this kind of care is at the core of high-performing teams and a culture where people belong, engage, connect, and work better together. That’s because the quality of our relationships is the quality of our culture. Using the four questions of The Self-Care Mindset framework, we can engage with more intention and care, building better relationships, starting with our relationship with ourselves.
We humans have a unique advantage that makes this kind of shift possible: we’re driven to care. It’s in our nature—we wouldn’t survive without it.
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 - TOGETHER
Navigating change can be daunting for a leader, and we need new skills to lead through change with clarity and confidence. The world is changing faster than ever, and agility is essential for unlocking growth. Recognizing that it can cause tension, stress, and conflict in our teams, we need the right tools to harness the human connection to overcome these challenges together as a team.
Instead of trying to control, manage, and predict change, today's leaders must learn to pause, listen, and ask better questions to support their team. We must focus on creating a culture of psychological safety where everyone knows they matter and feels supported.
Using the C.A.R.E. framework, we can build emotional agency and harness the stress of change with curiosity, acknowledgment, respect, and empathy.
The focus is on practical tools and strategies that leaders can use to guide themselves and their teams toward sustainable success during times of change. These techniques can be easily implemented and put into practice right away.
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 A RESILIENT CULTURE WHERE PEOPLE CARE, GROW, AND DO WORK THAT MATTERS TOGETHER.
Life and work continue to speed up and demand more of us. Our attention is stretched and distracted, and engaging and staying focused on what matters is more complex than ever. Our core human need to feel safe is challenged like never before because the future is uncertain, and change constantly challenges our sense of agency.
How can we develop strong, healthy relationships that foster an agile culture of change? This starts with our relationship with ourselves and extends to how we connect and engage with others. The quality of our relationships becomes the quality of our culture. By prioritizing our humanity at work, we can build a culture that reflects the values of care.
Imagine a culture where we take a moment to pause together and intentionally focus our attention. A culture where everyone is valued and cares about their work because they know it matters. A culture where we extend our care to those we serve and prioritize what truly matters.
We often assume that caring for people is our responsibility, but in reality, it means caring about them by asking them what they need to reclaim agency over their work and lives. This approach promotes diversity and inclusivity in the workplace and allows us to tap into our human advantage of connecting, communicating, and collaborating with intention, care, and purpose. A Culture of Care® prioritizes the overall well-being of all individuals involved.
You and your teams will learn how to pause, listen, and ask better questions to be more aware, adaptable, and agile to grow through adversity together, building a culture where C.A.R.E. means Confidence, Agility, Resilience, and Equity.
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.
