Confidence, Capacity and your Competitive Edge: The Leader’s Guide to Peak Performance… in Everything

When work demands are high, and the schedule is full, it’s far too easy to let lack of time and energy guide how you take care of yourself. It seems there’s always something more important to do, but when health gets pushed aside, it has a direct and often negative impact on energy, productivity, and positivity. Not to mention what it does for wellness and quality of life. Research shows that the very health practices we push aside in the name of work progress, are the keys to better leadership and peak performance. In fact, health delivers the ultimate competitive edge for business success at every level of your organization. Boost confidence, capacity and your competitive edge with simple methods that make a big impact. In this empowering session, you will: • Be reminded of the many brain and body benefits of exercise, eating right, sleep, and stress management, and learn why health provides the ultimate competitive edge in today’s workforce. • Assess your current health-practices; what’s going well, what’s missing, and what you shouldn’t be without. • Identify effective, time-efficient ways to optimize your health, and that of your teams, so you show up every day mentally, physically and emotionally dialed-in. And consider this: If you’re already knocking it out of the park with career success, imagine how much more capable you’ll be when you prioritize health as a non-negotiable part of your business plan.

The Myth of Multitasking: How to Find Focus in a Distracted World

In an era of 24/7 connectedness and ‘nose to the grind-stone’ ideologies, multitasking has become something of a workplace badge of honour. In fact, it’s often heralded as a ‘work skill’ in interviews and on resumes. But is it really? And these days the pandemic has only added to our overwhelm because of online and hybrid work and school. With the addition of technology and reduction of boundaries between work and life it means that multitasking feels more like a necessity than a choice. How else will we get it all done? The truth is that multitasking doesn’t make us more productive; in fact, the exact opposite is true. In this eye-opening session, you will: • Explore the signs of ‘auto-pilot living’, why it happens, and how to get off it. • Look at how multitasking impacts productivity, what’s happening in your brain when you take on too much, and how it hinders learning and memory. • Discuss simple strategies to push aside distractions and be more mindful and focused when it matters most. With technology continuing to operate as our link to a COVID-restricted world, focus and mindfulness matter now more than ever. This session will show you the way.

The Science (and Common Sense) Behind Our Pandemic Bread-Making Obsession

What Clients Say About Michelle Cederberg, CSP

We had the pleasure of working with Michelle to deliver an inspiring virtual opening keynote address for our Annual General Meeting & Professional Development Institute. Michelle was able to transcend the ‘digital divide’ to create an energetic and motivating environment where delegates were engaged and felt comfortable asking questions. Her set-up was top-notch and allowed you to feel as though you were right there in the room with her. We received lots of compliments and positive responses following her presentation and we would gladly have her back to speak at future virtual or in-person events!

We went into our virtual convention not knowing what to expect and worried about “Zoom fatigue," but we needn’t have worried with Michelle’s presentation on The Success-Energy Equation hitting all the right notes. Michelle’s setup is perfect for the virtual world and she has an uncanny ability to connect with her audience. Michelle was able to put “21st and a Quarter Century Stress” in perfect context with what we have all been experiencing through the pandemic – ialmost as if she had some pre-knowledge of events to come when she wrote her new book. We would highly recommend Michelle for your virtual event and expect that she would be even more dynamic live.

With the continuation of the pandemic in 2021,our company needed to plan a virtual international women’s day (IWD) event under a very constrained budget, after the impacts of covid19 and declining oil prices had clouded our industry with uncertainty. We wanted a keynote speaker who could also engage in a panel discussion with the theme ‘IWD21: Choose to Challenge’. Out of the many recommendations provided by our employees, we chose Michelle for: her flexibility, willingness to genuinely help, her energy and responsiveness. Michelle keynoted on stress management at work which fit with our mental health theme and then the panel together with Michelle delved into the themes of diversity & inclusion, and the challenges women face in the workplace. Some of the comments from the employees on Michelle’s keynote presentation were: ‘Hearing Michelle say that that we don’t have to hold it together was what I needed to hear amidst a pandemic and the challenging times I am in’, ‘you need to give yourself time to recover from stress was the key learning for me’, ‘her full body presentation made it look like she was in the room with us’, ‘it was very engaging’, ‘I have been with the organization for 10 years and this was the best IWD event I have attended in terms of the speaker’. Other panel speakers said ‘Michelle was well versed in the topic, engaging and very easy to work with as a panel member’ We hope to have Michelle again hopefully face-to-face post pandemic.

With 2020 being a “virtual” year, we needed someone to spark everyone’s interest, get our audience sitting up in their seats and hanging on for a great presentation, and Michelle did all of that. Michelle was a great opening speaker and set the tone for our conference. Her passion and energy is contagious in person, and she is a force to be reckoned with on the virtual platform as well. Just as with her in-person presentations, there are many take-aways that attendees talk about long after her session is over. I know we will work together in the future again!
