KEYNOTE TOPICS
Reframe Your Story
Why mastering your mindset will change your life
Are you convinced you’re not cut out for that job or that you don’t know enough to speak up in that meeting? Do you believe that good team players always say yes, or that building profile is self-serving, slimy or smarmy? We know the power of stories to change and to persuade, but we rarely examine the most important stories: those we tell ourselves. We walk around with toxic mindsets about what we’re capable of, what is possible and what we can accomplish.
In this keynote Tammy asks you to think about the unhelpful stories you tell yourself that hold you back. She will spur you to change the conversation you have with yourself so that you can adjust your behaviors, exhibit new skills and transform perceptions about what you can accomplish personally and professionally. Change your mindset, change the conversation, change your life.
In this keynote you will:
Understand the seven common stories you tell yourself; those that are reinforced by society, systems and those of your own making
Begin to put an end to the negative self-talk, self-sabotaging behaviors and unconscious habits that are keeping you stuck
Learn practical ways to combat toxic mindsets before, during and after they occur
Do Less Shit
Why you must reframe your story from “I’m the master of my to do list” to “I make strategic decisions”
Do you revel in being a fastidious firefighter or master multi-tasker? Do you feel guilty delegating, or do you say yes too often? What stories do you tell yourself about being a good team player, pitching in and working hard to get it all done. If you’re like most, these beliefs may leave you trapped in the hamster wheel of tactical work and that’s all you are known for. Executing, not leading. Tactical, not strategic.
Tammy sheds light on why research has shown that being perceived as strategic is more challenging for women than men. She tests you to question the value you add at work and home, why it matters and what it’s costing you. You will be compelled to move from striking off tasks on long to-do lists to actioning strategic priorities; from constantly being busy to adding value. You will be spurred to change what you’re known for and learn how to complete valuable tasks that matter to your brand, your earnings, your promotability and your health and well-being.
In this keynote you will:
Understand the reasons women get saddled, and saddle themselves with grunt work
Learn how to focus on value-added and promotable tasks and turn the mundane into strategic
Discover ways to shift perceptions of your strategic capability and leadership brand
