Choices, Chances, Changes: The 3 Cs of Life Remember Your Power to Choose Success You must make a choice to take a chance or your life will never change. No more being stuck or blaming others! This hilarious but poignant presentation explores how brain and behavior science can help you take back your power to shape your own destiny by making conscious choices and taking chances that align with your goals. Attendees will discover how to improve "choice-making" by putting space between their impulses and their actions. This gives them time to reframe challenges and literally change the way they look at things and how they choose to move forward through change. They'll learn how to self-guide by asking questions such as, "Will this choice put me closer to or further from my goal?" and "Is what I'm about to say necessary? Will it strengthen my relationship bridge or weaken it?" Attendees will even discover how to find meaning—and value—in failures and how to take brave chances that will create positive change in their lives. Examples of the specific types of challenges your organization and audience face can be included. Don't Believe Everything You Think! Remember Your Power to Pause Information overload. Decision overload. Overload overload. Does it feel like you're speed-walking through life—with a pebble in your shoe?

Attendees discover how thoughts create emotions—and why it's dangerous to believe everything you think! They'll explore how the behavioral science behind anxiety, anger and fear make it impossible to access our "thinking" brain and leave our "ancient" fight-or-flight brain in charge. Attendees will laugh while learning how to trade this constant reactivity for a positive and empowering way of interacting with the world, including how to make those all-important human connections that keep us happier at home and at work.
