Keynote presentation:

The Power of the Pause: How a Reset Brings Sanity Back to the Workplace

Our workload and schedules are fast-paced and ever-changing. With work demands, project deadlines, and frequent meetings, leaders are hard pressed to find time for productivity and personal pauses in their work and personal life. Strategic pauses build momentum and help prevent poor self care, burnout, and even emotional health related issues. All have an effect on productivity and employee turnover.

This presentation is about rebuilding workplace morale, teamwork, and a highly engaged staff. Tim will help you discover how pausing leads to profits. He’ll share research to support his presentation points and show you  ideas to help you lead well. This presentation will provide tools and strategies to bring your workplace back – back to do what you do best serving your customers, supporting each other, and operating at peak levels.

I also lead workshops, training programs, planning sessions, and conduct surveys related to my speaking focus.
