Make your conference, meeting, or retreat a resounding success with a presentation from work-life leader and author Joe Robinson. Our programs inspire and motivate audiences with proven strategies for more effective work and improved work-life balance. Choose from the following topics for keynotes and trainings:
Sustainable Work-Life Balance
Most people learn the tools of their trade, but not how to work in the most effective way, based on what the science says. That leaves things to default mode—reflex and the burnout model. This program arms your audience with research-based strategies that build more effective work practices and sustainable work-life strategies.
Learners find out how to make the critical adjustments to how they do tasks and how they respond to stress, time frenzy and other reflex behaviors. They are equipped with an array of self-management tools to avoid overwhelm and distraction, control information overload and interruptions, improve time management, build the most potent motivation, and dramatically upgrade vitality and well-being on the job and off.
The research shows that
work-life balance is an essential engagement tool, building proactive, committed employees. Gallup found the people who feel they have good work-life balance are 21% more productive.
Equip your team with the best tools science has to offer, and the performance—and employee survey results—will make you glad you did. See

Stress Is Optional: Manage Any Challenge
Stress causes 40% of worker turnover and costs five times more to treat than the average workplace malady (more than $300 billion annually for American businesses). It's also contagious, spreading through the organization, undermining attention and decision-making ability and driving conflicts.
There's no reason to put up with the huge downside of stress and the hair-trigger emotions it brings, when any organization can do something about it. This program arms your organization with the most powerful practices to stop stress in its tracks.
Denying stress won't make it go away. That only feeds the false beliefs that drive chronic stress and burnout. What works is contesting it, reframing it, and when we do, the stress response stops in four minutes!
This program gives your team the best stress reduction tools available, from reframing stress stories, to belief challenge, to progressive relaxation, to mindfulness. It's one of the most cost-effective things you can do to improve performance and health in your organization. See

The X-Factor: The Art of Employee Engagement
Hidden in every organization is a vast untapped potential that can boost profits, teamwork, and performance. Engaged workers are 28% more productive (Conference Board).
This program gives your organization the tools to unlock that enormous engagement potential by giving employees the proper incentives and structures shown to produce the trust, competence, and self-initiative that leads to fully engaged workers.
This program is not business as usual. We use the latest motivation research to change the way leaders and employees interact. We follow the science to new relationships based on two-way communication, self-assessment, more choice, more shared decisions, and internally oriented goals.
If your organization would prefer to not leave effort and dollars on the table, and would like to create a cohesive, enthused, and involved workforce, this program can help you utilize your company's biggest asset to the fullest. See

Optimal Performance: Get More Done in Less Time
In a time of mass distraction, productivity is taking a big hit and crisis mentality rules. There's a more productive way to work, based on what the research shows gets more done in less time. This program gives your group the key tools to work smarter, cut stress and time urgency, and increase attention.
The presentation brings the tools of optimal experience to your organization, teaching the skills of absorption in the task at hand, intrinsic motivation, and the best attention and engagement strategies. It builds skills to manage technology, prioritize, set boundaries, resist distractions, and increase attention, the chief productivity tool.
The research is very clear. When teams are absorbed in the task at hand, the job gets done faster, with more interest, and a lot fewer mistakes. This program gives your group the training to build attention, carve out focus zones, and improve prioritization and project management. Your audience learns how to avoid attention deficit trait, which leads to distractibility, frenzy, and the inability to stay on task.
The program also shows how to improve physical vitality to insure that everyone has the energetic resources to bring to the task. Brains have to reset every 90 minutes, or productivity suffers. Your group learns invaluable refueling skills to keep minds at optimal performance levels. There's a more productive road than unbounded anarchy. Watch your business and employee engagement grow after this program.

The Email Overload Survival Kit
Are the devices in charge, instead of the humans? Information overload and constant interruptions are decimating attention and driving burnout and costly mistakes. The average knowledge worker is interrupted every three minutes. More than a third of the day is now eaten up by email for most employees. It's not sustainable.
Every email results in six emails. They're like rabbits. They proliferate. It's time to spay and neuter email with tools proven by the science to rein in the chaos.
The good news is that your organization can do something about e-overload. This program shows how to rein in email abuse with a system that restores order to the chaos and time sink of unbounded messaging.
Your group will be able to dramatically cut the volume of messaging and interruptions with the strategies in this program. There is light at the end of the in-box. See
