But today’s busy professionals add stress to their bodies and minds in other ways too. In this thought-provoking presentation, Nicole takes a strategic and innovative approach to health and habit change, helping attendees identify which of the Top 10 Hidden Stressors are sabotaging their physical, mental, and emotional health – without them even knowing it. Busy professionals will walk away understanding why it’s imperative to prioritize Hidden Stress in order to get results, manage day to day stress, and optimize their health.
BOOK THIS KEYNOTEKeynote | How To Kick * in Chaos
Description: As the world becomes more unpredictable, one thing remains clear: We can’t control the chaos around us if we can’t control the chaos within us. In this eye-opening keynote, Nicole takes a fresh approach to stress, health and habit change, explaining why busy professionals need to prioritize Hidden Stress – 10 unhealthy, but controllable, habits that we tend to repeat every single day that secretly sabotage our physical, mental, and emotional health. Attendees will walk away with an unwavering faith that they can transform their health, their habits, and their life – and their ability to kick ass in chaos.
BOOK THIS KEYNOTEKeynote | The Power of Purpose
Description: Have you ever considered that a purpose, a sense of direction, and a clearly defined vision could influence your health? Presenting leading edge content and advice, Nicole demonstrates why a higher sense of purpose in life is associated with less stress and anxiety, better sleep and mood, and reduced risk of chronic disease, drug use, and mortality. By the end of the hour, you’ll discover that getting and staying healthy starts by designing a life you love and living that life – on purpose.
BOOK THIS KEYNOTEKeynote | Manipulating Motivation: How to Train Your Brain for Habit Change
Description: How long does it take to change a habit? What if I have no willpower? And how do I make change last? These are some of the most common – and misunderstood – questions around behavior change. In Train Your Brain for Habit Change, Nicole takes a fresh approach to behavior change, exposing why most change efforts fail. Attendees will discover what it really takes to rewire patterns, why lasting results require a shift in thinking, and why transforming your behavior to transform your life is not an insurmountable feat.
BOOK THIS KEYNOTEKeynote | The Wellness Paradox
Description: Every year, tens of millions of people die from chronic conditions that could have been prevented or better managed with proactive health measures. So why, with extensive amounts of information at our fingertips, are we still facing a global health crisis? Because we’re trapped in flawed assumptions, outdated thinking, and quick fixes – fads, hacks, and unnecessary medications – that can take us further from optimal health, mindset, and performance. In this mind-shifting keynote, Nicole bridges the gap between frustration and results, uncovering the most common misconceptions that prevent us from achieving the vitality, health, and success we deserve.
