??? Discover Proven Techniques for Navigating Career Transitions with Be Productive Coaching

Welcome to our August newsletter. We've changed our format a little, and if you are enjoying the content we are sharing, please let me know by dropping me an email at: [email protected]

Last month we focused on "Enhancing Employee Welfare & Productivity."?We spoke about "isolation and workplace loneliness," two topics that have been hot this year.?If you missed reading that issue, no worries, you can access it by going to this link: Keeping You Productive June Newsletter.

So before we share more tips, I will bring you up to speed on what I have been up to. At the end of June, I flew to Jacksonville to speak at the annual 2023 FICP Education Forum at the beautiful Omni Amelia Island Resort in Fernandina Beach, Florida. If you've never been to that area, it is a must. The beaches there are stunning! For those of you wondering what FICP does, it is the premier association for financial and insurance meeting professionals with a history spanning over 60 years.?

Rachelle Stone, My Positive Intelligence partner, and I had a deep dive workshop on "Increase Your EQ With Positive Intelligence? ." Each time I speak or have a workshop on this work, I am amazed at how quickly this work makes a difference in the lives of so many. Participants in this session started by taking the free saboteur assessment . We?then gave them a brief overview of Emotional Intelligence (EQ) and?Positive Intelligence ?before breaking into seven groups to discuss their top saboteurs and how these nasty characters get in their way, preventing performance, well-being, and connection. Participants could recognize these saboteurs in their daily work and personal lives, and we had an open discussion offering tips on recognizing these in others and shifting from negative messaging. It was a great afternoon, and we received an overall average score of 4.55 in the session feedback form. Here are some of the comments:

"I learned about different types of people."

"Would have liked more tactical tips."

"Absolutely loved it. Interactive and personally insightful, and actionable! 10/10"

"The session over exceeded my expectations. It was engaging, and we learned so much. The speakers rock!"

"Loved the speakers!"

That same week I facilitated the "Personal Brand & Digital Presence " three-day workshop for 50/50 Women on Boards ,?whose mission is to integrate diversity and inclusion into the fabric of corporate governance, and the goal is to have 50% women on paid corporate boards by 2050. We've come a long way, but hard to believe that we still have a ways to go. If you want to learn more about getting on a paid corporate board, I recommend you check out their Board Fundamentals two-hour workshop.?

After coming back from FICP and the three-day workshop with 50/50 WOB's Rachelle and I held an info session on Positive Intelligence via Zoom on July 6 before launching our July 8th Bootcamp, and on Friday, July 7th, I held the free Elevate 2023 mid-year training. Elevate 2023 was an exclusive invite for those subscribed to this newsletter, and we will continue to offer?free training in the future...so stay tuned.

After this busy week, it was "nose to the grindstone" to finalize planning for the annual 2023 Lemongrass Spa Products Conference, which took place the last week of July at the Hilton Orlando. I love planning this conference and working with a team that makes a difference. Now I don't coach or speak at this conference. Before I transitioned to Be Productive Coaching, this was one of my clients from Be Productive Meetings & Events, and I still enjoy working with them and a couple of other longtime clients. I love that it keeps a pulse on the hospitality,?meetings, and events industry, and when I am speaking and coaching hospitality and meeting professionals, I can still relate to their day-to-day. Lemongrass Spa Products are sold directly through a consultant, and if you are interested in swapping out your skincare for 100% natural products, feel free to send me an email with "Lemongrass Spa Interest" in the subject line: [email protected]?

Between all of this great stuff, I've been careful to incorporate some self-care and fun by sleeping in on Saturdays?and attending Salsa Lessons with my hubby on Tuesday and Thursday nights. Integrating our life is crucial to feeling fulfilled and joyful.?

So what's coming up in August? I'll be participating in Tony Robbins' "Business Mastery " and traveling to Clearwater Beach, FL, for the August 23-25 Prevue Meetings "Meet Well Summit," taking place at the Opal Sands Resort, where Rachelle and I will be the Keynote Speakers with our "Burnout No More" session. Stay tuned, as I'll be sharing exciting news in August. Until then, continue reading, as we've got some more great tips on this issue.?

Blessings and love,

Vimari
