Steadying Our Steps After a Challenging Season
Our way of life has radically shifted. As the world prepares to awaken, people are left at varying degrees of readiness. Some are nervous while others eagerly await returning to the rhythms and routines of their lives.

As humans we are hardwired for struggle. We have adapted and found innovative ways of showing up the best we can during this challenging season. We've persisted despite the hardships and changes. Yet for many, it came at a cost. Organizations and their teams are tired, depleted, and wobbly, yet it is time we move forward.

In this season of rising after challenging times, we are in a precious place of opportunity to co-create our future. As we plan our next moves, it is imperative that we acknowledge the past while also setting a steady course for re-entry that is research-informed and practical for people at varying degrees of readiness.

In this presentation, Dr. Robyne Hanley-Dafoe will explore her conceptual framework for re-entry readiness that is based on the principles of psychological safety, resiliency, and productivity with purpose.

Unparalleled stress, unrest, and uncertainty are becoming common and readily accepted. As a result, the blast radius is wide, and the collateral damage is people not living a well-life despite their best efforts. Achieving and maintaining personal and professional excellence in challenging times requires a different approach — we need to learn how to stress wisely.

In this keynote, Dr. Robyne Hanley-Dafoe explores her eight-dimensional framework for cultivating authentic wellness that is sustainable, practical, time-efficient, and realistic. She shares research-informed tactical strategies for moving theory into committed action, and big ideas with real world applications, such as fostering emotional regulation and gauging psychological safety.

By learning how to apply key insights for building awareness, personal and team accountability, and habit formation, people can implement stress and recovery systems that are built on the foundation of self-stewardship and high performance. By doing so, people enhance their personal and professional effectiveness and capacity for navigating whatever comes their way.

How Working with Our Emotions Can Enhance Every Part of Our Lives
Emotions impact every area of our lives, yet emotions are often viewed as secondary to logic and reason. Emotional mastery is the next frontier of professional and personal excellence.

In this interactive event, Dr. Robyne Hanley-Dafoe discusses the origins of emotions and feelings, and explores how to recognize and manage emotions in yourself, others, and among groups. Hanley-Dafoe takes a deep dive into research informed practices of cultivating emotional awareness, responsiveness, and expression to enhance performance and productivity. By understanding heavy emotions like burnout, compassion fatigue, and grief we can begin to foster allyship with our emotions.

Participants will be well positioned to manage stress, uncertainty, change, and conflict. And, in doing so, enact the everyday resiliency and wellness practices needed to navigate the ever-changing landscape of our lives.

Using a value-based living approach to performance with purpose, this session will provide participants the tools and systems for striking the ever-elusive work-life balance.

Inclusive Leadership: A Place and Voice at the Table
Workforces are welcoming a vista of employees from diverse backgrounds and age demographics. Learning how to create a culture of authentic inclusion is imperative for organizational success.

Inclusive leadership incorporates the practice of assuring that all team members feel as though they belong, are respected, and are being treated fairly. It is important that everyone not only has a seat at the table, but a voice that is valued. Researchers Espedido and Bourke (2019) presented a framework for organizations to foster inclusive thinking and cultures.

In this presentation, Dr. Robyne Hanley-Dafoe will review the inclusive leadership framework and explore how leaders can promote and foster inclusive behaviors and practices that promote team effectiveness and productivity. Audiences will review how leaders can monitor their inclusive leadership footprint and check for impact. Participants will also learn about the behavior change protocol and how to use this protocol to change and adapt their behaviors.

How to Transition Resilient Practices into Committed Action
In this workshop, Dr. Robyne Hanley-Dafoe draws on her experiences working with people from around the world from a multitude of industries to support people as they identify and claim their personal capacity of resiliency. Hanley-Dafoe reviews what traits resilient people have in common, and how we can build and strengthen these qualities in ourselves and others.

Through guided exercises, participants have the opportunity to reflect and design their resiliency markers. This workshop dives deeper into the concepts of "Everyday Resiliency", providing space and opportunities for participants to reflect, forecast, plan, and enact. The aim of this session is to learn the skill sets and micro behaviours that promote and foster resiliency. It also explores the common barriers to resiliency with tactical direction on how to facilitate authentic change and growth.
