Professional Speaker
"I was emotionally hung over for 3 days after hearing Dr. Robin Buckley speak (in the best way possible). I would watch her over and over again. I still get goosebumps thinking about her presentation."
Topics Include:
Wingsuits at Work: Creating psychological safety for professional risk taking
Innovation occurs in environments which encourage risk taking and authenticity. But how can leaders create a culture which encourages this and more importantly, demonstrates that team members are safe to take risks, be vulnerable, push boundaries and openly share ideas? By demonstrating individual strategies as leaders and implementing group strategies within organizations, psychological safety can be a conduit to change and growth.
The Octopus in the Room: Coalescing all the arms of your life to create work-life harmony
Society talks about finding a work-life balance, but this idea of "balance" is misleading. There is no time when the areas of life are perfectly balanced. Instead, adopting the perspective of harmony, a functional integration of all areas of life, provides you with a more effective framework to achieve health and happiness. Incorporating the subtopics of asking for what you want, burnout, imposter syndrome and perfectionism will contribute to this discussion on work-life harmony.
Walk the Talk: Helping leaders to use storytelling to create a mental wellness culture
Experts in mental health say that the most important call to action in creating a workplace culture which supports mental health is leading by example. Leaders who share their own stories regarding mental health model the culture which considers mental health as equitable to physical health. But in order for this strategy to be effective, the storytelling must be authentic and, for many leaders, it is about finding their voices and being comfortable sharing their stories.
Powerful Women are Scary: A new vision for women
Women have made incredible progress over the past 60 years since the women’s movement in the 1960s. In local and global politics, in all realms of business and production, and in entertainment, powerful women are changing the perspective and standards for women. So why is it that powerful women still make people uncomfortable? Considering the historical causes for female stereotypes, how cognitive dissonance plays a role in why powerful women are perceived as "scary", and what can women do to step into their power and change society's perception of powerful women, will frame this discussion.
The Cast of the A-Team: The power of allyship, advocacy, and activism in the workplace
Being an ally, an advocate, and an activist has specific impact upon an organization. Understanding the differences, and being able to identify which role you play, is essential to facilitating group culture and impacting change. Even more, learning the contributions each role has allows you to effectively navigate among these roles, allowing you and the individuals within your organization to affect the greatest outcomes.
Bedroom to Boardroom: Creating equity in all areas of our lives
Women’s power is systematically and deliberately undermined. Whether through outdated societal norms, political agendas, or fear from other groups, women continue to fight for equality, equity, and basic human rights, in regards to pay, leadership, health services, and sexual wellness. As women learn to break through the "taboo" topics and have open conversations about their wants and their needs, we create a ripple effect in all areas of our lives, professionally and personally. We connect to our power, own our lives, and demand what we want, without hesitation, embarrassment, or apology.
