| OPENING KEYNOTE – “The Wisdom of Change: Positivity and Resilience While Under Stress” -- Speaker: Maria Sirois |
|
"...Wisdom comes with age and life and pain. And knowing what matters.” Louise Penny, A Fatal Grace In this keynote conversation we will explore perspectives and practices from the field of positive psychology which elevate resilience, positivity and wisdom. We'll examine the role of optimism in creating a greater capacity to enjoy what we do, even on the dull or difficult days. We'll consider how resilience is built as we reduce our negative habits of thinking and behaving. And we shall address wisdom: knowing how and when to care for ourselves, learning to focus with discernment on what matters. Each of these perspectives will be linked to a pragmatic tool, easily applied at work. With such perspectives and tools, stress becomes not the burden of our days but the actual catalyst for growth.
 Maria is a master teacher, facilitator and author. As a positive psychologist (Psy.D.) and international consultant, she focuses on the resilience of the human spirit when under pressure and/or during significant transition. Known for her wisdom, authenticity and rampant humor, Maria brings a depth of experience in leadership development and stress management for corporate and non?profit professionals alike. Her work builds capacity and engagement around stressors such as conflicting goals, difficult conversations, unrealistic expectations and moments of failure — using such moments to leverage sustained positive shifts in perspective and ability. She consults with the Cooperrider Center for Appreciative Inquiry at Champlain College, develops curriculum for the Wholebeing Institute, is on the faculty at Kripalu Center for Yoga and Health and is the author of two books: A Short Course in Happiness After Loss and Every Day Counts. www.mariasirois.com |

| CLOSING KEYNOTE – “Four Conversations For Success” -- Speaker: Stuart Knight |
|
How do you feel when a business associate you rarely see remembers your name? Why do people work harder for some managers than others? Do your clients look forward to seeing you? What do you know about your customers that your competition doesn’t? Do you see them? They’re everywhere. That’s right, they are called human beings and when you connect with them personally, you and your organization will thrive! Did you know that employees who see their co-workers as friends are twelve times more productive at their jobs? Were you aware that manufacturers who promote healthy human relationships in the workplace experience 50% less defects on the production line? And have you heard that research recently proved that social isolation decreases life expectancy more than smoking, obesity and alcohol abuse combined? The evidence is undeniable. The strength of our human connections dramatically influences the success we experience in both our professional and personal lives. No one understands this better than Stuart Knight, and whether you are outgoing or introverted, he will teach you what it takes to raise your game one powerful conversation at a time.
