Decoding the Science of EQ to Stress-...

Decoding the Science of EQ to Stress-Proof You:
At Work and at Home (EQ Focused - General Audience)
Never have the skills of Emotional Intelligence (EQ) been as heavily tested and relied upon as right now. With people navigating new ways of working, this is especially true for teamwork and collaboration. The challenge is that with stress, exhaustion, and disconnection on the rise, it has also never been as difficult to practice these skills as it is right now, whether at work or home.

In this keynote, Sara Ross will change that by helping you tap into your EQ skills to go from simply surviving the stress of today to thriving with energy and resilience, in spite of the stress of today.

How to Standout Without Burning Out:

How to Standout Without Burning Out:
Raising your Work Vitality Quotient (WVQ) to Take on the Day (VQ Focused - General/Mixed Audience)
Taking on anything challenging, even when meaningful, involves stress. In a world defined by unrelenting change, it's not surprising there's been a spike in stress levels and a drop in energy levels. Leaders and their people report feeling perpetually consumed by work and behind on life.

The challenge is that the traditional well-intentioned advice of "ease up and slow down" to tackle stress is often impossible to apply. Worse, it inadvertently results in people feeling they need to compromise their drive and dedication in the processes. There is a better way.

In this keynote, Sara Ross will share her research showing you that raising your Work Vitality Quotient (WVQ) will help you pursue bold goals without burning out in the process.

Decoding the Science of EQ for Standout Leadership:
Leading with Energy and Resilience in High-Stress Environments (EQ Focused - Leadership Audience)
Faced with constant uncertainty, intense scrutiny, leading virtually, and on the heels of a pandemic, never has strong leadership been as essential or as difficult to practice as it is now.

Two areas being most heavily tested; how leaders leverage and evolve their emotional intelligence (EQ) skills and how leaders manage their energy to show-up day after day in a purposeful way, defined as their vitality quotient (VQ). The combination of these two is the difference between good but exhausted leaders surviving the stress of today versus leaders that stand out and thrive, in spite of the stress of today.

The Science of Getting Knocked Down &...

The Science of Getting Knocked Down & the Skill of Getting Back Up:
Raising your Resilience Quotient (RQ) to manage everyday challenges. (RQ Focused - All Audiences)
The need for resilience has always been high; however, in today's world, where stress, ambiguity, and challenge are relentless, resilience is in constant demand. Not just for the significant setbacks and major change, but as an on-going skill to endure everyday frustrations and challenges.

To level-up the skills of resilience, most of the focus is "bouncing" back. Yet, we can all agree that this is only half the resilience equation. To truly strengthen your Resilience Quotient (RQ), you must also learn how to get knocked down – and do that better!

The "best" stand out not because they never fall, but because they fall better, which helps them get up faster, allowing them to consistently stretch their potential to learn, innovate, adapt, and thrive. Nor are those that stand out fearless; instead, they have learned how to use fear as fuel for growth.

Standout Leadership in a Worn-Out World:
Raising your Leadership Vitality Quotient (LVQ) to Take on Bold Goals (VQ Focused - Leadership/Executive Audience)
Taking on anything challenging, even when meaningful, will involve stress. In a world defined by unrelenting change, it's not surprising there's been a spike in stress levels and a drop in energy levels. People report feeling perpetually consumed by work and behind on life. For leaders, there is an additional layer of pressure – managing their stress, their energy, and their work as well as that of the people they lead.

The challenge is that the traditional well-intentioned advice of "ease up and slow down" to tackle stress is often impossible to apply. Worse, it inadvertently results in people feeling they need to compromise their drive and dedication in the process. There is a better way.

In this keynote, Sara Ross will share her research showing you that raising your Leadership Vitality Quotient (LVQ) will help you stand out as the leader you want (and need to be), without burning yourself or your people out in the process.
