| Your team is stressed? We can help.

If there’s one word to sum up the world we live in, it’s uncertainty. How does this affect the health of your employees and your business? It’s simple:

Uncertainty = lack of control. Lack of control = stress. Stress = poor health. Poor health = unhappiness…at work, at home, in life.

But stress isn’t just a pandemic, a recession or adjusting to a hybrid workplace.

There is also Hidden Stress. This is the stress caused by The Top 10 Unhealthy Habits that busy professionals repeat every single day. It’s the stress that overloads the brain and nervous system, imbalances hormones, and prevents optimal physical and mental health. And it’s the worst stress because it’s the stress we don’t even know about.

Our Seminars, Seminar Series, and Seminar+ Programs help audiences discover how to master the 10 habits that relieve Hidden Stress so they have the energy, confidence, and motivation to play full out – at home and at work.

Bottom Line? When your employees are healthy, so is your business.

| These seminars are for your business if…

You want a seamless, impactful, cost-effective way to ensure your team is productive and motivated, especially while working in a new environment, whether it be remotely, onsite or hybrid/flex.

You understand the direct link between a healthy team and the bottom line, and want to ensure your team stays on top of their game in terms of health, mindset, and productivity.

You want to attract and retain talent by proving that, although you care about the bottom line, you also care about the physical and mental health of your team.

You’re looking for a positive, healthy and unique way to unite, motivate, and educate your team.

| Where do you start? Let’s Talk About Stress…

 Let’s Talk About Stress (1 hour or 2 hour)

Let’s Talk About Stress provides a foundational understanding of Hidden Stress and explains the science behind how The Top 10 Unhealthy Habits are adding unwanted stress, sabotaging results, and preventing optimal physical and mental health.

Description: For most people, financial pressure, a demanding job, or a global pandemic immediately come to mind as sources of stress. But today’s busy professionals add stress to their bodies and minds in other ways too.

In this science-based, forward-thinking, and information-packed presentation, Nicole introduces The Hidden Stress Model™️, helping attendees discover which of The Top 10 Unhealthy Habits are negatively impacting their nervous systems and hormones, and making it more challenging to get results, manage day to day stress, and optimize their physical and mental health – at work and at home.

| The Foundation Series (6 Stress and Wellness Seminars)

  Seminar 1 | Let’s Talk About Stress (1 hour or 2 hour)

For most people, financial pressure, a demanding job, or a global pandemic immediately come to mind as sources of stress. But today’s busy professionals add stress to their bodies and minds in other ways too.

In this science-based, forward-thinking, and information-packed presentation, Nicole introduces The Hidden Stress Model™️, helping attendees discover which of The Top 10 Unhealthy Habits are negatively impacting their nervous systems and hormones, and making it more challenging to get results, manage day to day stress, and optimize their physical and mental health – at work and at home.

  Seminar 2 | Train Your Brain for Habit Change

How do you change habits? How long does it take to change habits? How do I change my habits if I have no will power? And how do I change my habits long term? These are common questions when it comes to transforming behaviour.

In Train Your Brain for Habit Change, Nicole takes a fresh approach to behaviour change, helping participants discover why the old school habit change model doesn’t work, why getting results requires a change in focus, and why transforming your behaviour to transform your life doesn’t have to be an insurmountable feat.

  Seminar 3 | Nutritional Stress and The Top 10 Food Mistakes

Did you know that what you eat can impact your stress levels? In this eye-opening and fact-based seminar, Nicole will address the top 10 food mistakes that add nutritional stress to your body and mind – yes, there is such a thing as nutritional stress!

Whether you struggle to maintain a healthy weight, or you regularly deal with fatigue, headaches, digestive issues, anxiety, other chronic health complaints, you’ll walk away with a fresh, non-trendy, informed outlook on what, when, where and why you eat.

  Seminar 4 | The Mind Games of Exercise

For decades, society has underestimated the value of exercise, believing that its benefits are limited to burning calories or creating a better looking body. Ironically and sadly, these misconceptions are making us sick, fat and stressed out. 

Incorporating over 30 years of experience as a dancer, personal trainer, fitness instructor, pilates coach, marathon runner, and reformed calorie-counting over-exerciser, Nicole introduces The 360 Rule™️, a simple formula that demonstrates how today’s busy professional can follow a realistic, effective, and efficient fitness routine to reduce stress, optimize brain health, boost immunity, and get results. 

  Seminar 5 | The 7 Sleep Factors for Managing Stress and Feeling Your Best

Whether you struggle to get to sleep, stay asleep, or wake up feeling rested, you’ve likely realized that not getting enough rest can affect your stress levels, mood, and other aspects of your physical and mental health. But this doesn’t mean you need to rely on drugs or quick fixes to get the restorative sleep that is essential to optimal health. 

In this informative, evidence-based, and eye-opening presentation, Nicole reveals the seven factors that contribute to a restful sleep, while providing practical solutions to help you create and maintain a sleep routine that reduces stress on your body and mind.

  Seminar 6 | Choose Stillness Over Illness

Today’s fast paced lives have us convinced that moving faster means we’ll be more productive. But constantly being on the go, multi-tasking, and rushing to get things done is negatively impacting our bodies and minds – adding stress, lowering IQs, increasing anxiety, imbalancing hormones, decreasing memory, and lowering productivity, to name a few. 

In Choose Stillness Over Illness, Nicole simplifies the science and physiology of stress and stillness, helping participants discover why it’s imperative to step on the brake more often, why slowing down is the key to productivity, and that real power, great health, and high performance is not a result of being busy, but is rooted in our ability to be still.

  Recommendation: Add The Stress Less Routine as a Workshop or Seminar

Whether you’re working onsite, at home, or in a hybrid workplace, you must have a routine – because without the predictability and balance that a routine brings, you cannot manage stress, optimize your health, or get results.

Loaded with practical advice, this factual presentation demonstrates the ideal stress-reducing routine (for the at home, at office or hybrid worker), integrating small things you can do every day to free yourself from physical and mental stress.

Available in a 1 hour Seminar or 3 hour interactive Workshop.

  Seminar 7 | Energy: Recovering Your Most Valuable Resource

Feeling tired in the morning, mid afternoon, after dinner, or all day long is a common complaint. In fact, low energy or fatigue is one of the top 5 symptoms related to Hidden Stress. Unfortunately, it’s also common to reach for food, drink or medications that promise to give us the boost we need to be productive, motivated and even manage stress.

But just because something is common doesn’t mean it’s right. These short-term fixes to increase energy are negatively affecting our long-term health.

In this presentation, Nicole passionately explains how Hidden Stress is draining your energy, highlights the most commonly overlooked habits that are keeping you tired, and provides realistic and proven solutions that can help you recover this valuable resource – starting today.

  Seminar 8 | Overcoming Overthinking

Are you an over thinker? If you are, you’re not alone. In our personal and professional lives, analysis is necessary. But over analysis – the act of rumination, worrying, or being ‘stuck in your head’ – can affect your nervous system, imbalance hormones, and have a negative impact on your physical, mental and emotional health. 

It is, however, a habit that can be broken. Combining science with mindfulness, this presentation will demonstrate that overthinking is a stressor that not only keeps you from paying attention and being present in life, it can also contribute to imbalance and disease in the body, affect mood and productivity, and prevent you from mastering one of the most invaluable skills – the ability to listen to your innate intuitive sense.

  Seminar 9 | Failure to Focus: The Next Health Epidemic

If you find it hard to focus or pay attention, you’re not alone. But before you reach for medication to control your train of thought, take comfort knowing that you have more power over your mind than you might think.

In Failure to Focus, Nicole explains why our inability to stay focused is one of the leading health complaints, making us unhealthy, unproductive, and stressed out.

Packed with evidence-based advice, you’ll walk away empowered with knowledge, motivated by realistic suggestions, and inspired by your ability to train your brain to focus.

  Seminar 10 | The Craving Connection

Whether you have them mid afternoon, after dinner, or all day long, cravings represent imbalance in the body. And if there’s imbalance inside your body, you’re exposing it to unnecessary stress that is sabotaging your results and keeping you from feeling your best. 

In this highly informative presentation, Nicole provides unique insight into how cravings are related to food, dieting, exercise, sleep, and emotional or mental stress. You’ll also learn The Cheat Principle™️, a proven set of realistic guidelines for how to stay healthy and have fun – without feeling guilty. The ultimate goal? That your addiction to sugar or salt is replaced with an addiction to feeling awesome – every single day. 

  Seminar 11 | Good Food, Good Mood.

Did you know that what you eat affects how you think, how you feel, and how you manage stress?

In this thought-provoking, evidence-based presentation, Nicole explains why the billions of cells in your brain must be fuelled with proper nutrition in order to optimally function, and how nutritional stress plays a key role in today’s growing mental health challenge.

You’ll walk away understanding how the food you eat affects your brain, how the health of your brain affects your physical and mental wellness, and which foods to consume (or not) in order to best manage your mood and mindset.

  Seminar 12 | The Power of Purpose

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 uses The Hidden Stress Framework, client research, and scientific evidence to demonstrate that 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.

  Seminar 13 | Intuition at Work

Call it an instinct, a hunch or a gut reaction…we’re all born with an intuitive sense. But this innate skill doesn’t just influence our ability to make decisions in our personal and professional lives. It can also influence our physical and mental health.

In this progressive and enlightening presentation, Nicole demonstrates how intuition is linked to The Hidden Stress Framework, explaining why making an instinctive decision to follow your gut can increase your odds of achieving optimal physical health, while reducing stress in your body and your life.

  Seminar 14 | Your Brain on Stress

Everything you do, think, and feel starts in the brain. Stress also starts in the brain. And although short doses of acute stress can help us focus, meet deadlines, and accomplish great things, most busy professionals are putting themselves through chronic stress that is destroying their bodies and minds – without them even knowing it.

In Your Brain on Stress, Nicole provides realistic solutions for how we can reduce the chronic stress, including Hidden Stress, that can change the shape of the brain, impair mood and memory, and ultimately affect everything we do, think, and feel.

  Seminar 15 | Your Social Network: Why You Need It, When You Don’t

Have you ever considered that your social network could be good for your health, helping to reduce stress and your susceptibility to serious disease?

But research proves that it’s not about the quantity of people in your circle. Instead, it’s about quality.

In this presentation, Nicole explains why lack of social connection is part of The Hidden Stress Framework, and what you need to consider to ensure that your relationships and social network are improving your health, not hindering it.

  Seminar 16 | Your Brain on Food

When it comes to nutrition, it’s common to assume that the sole benefit of ‘eating better’ is to lose weight or change our physical appearance. But the 3 pounds of matter between your ears is also impacted by what you eat. Made of protein, fat, carbs and water, your brain is responsible for everything you do, think, and feel, and like a luxury vehicle, it’s imperative that you fuel it properly.

In Your Brain on Food, Nicole incorporates over 30 years of nutrition research, client results, and personal experience to help participants understand why what’s good for the body is also good for the brain. Whether you struggle with stress, anxiety, brain fog, your weight, or other physical or mental health complaints, you’ll walk away with a fresh and informed outlook on what, when, where and why you eat, not just for the sake of your body, but also for the sake of your brain.

  Seminar 17 | Gut

Gut health might seem like it’s just a trend, but it’s always been an imperative component of optimal health, affecting immunity, disease, mental health, and the trillions of cells that make up our body and brain.

The real trend, however, is that when we struggle with symptoms that suggest our gut is not functioning, we tend to believe that specific foods and supplements will fix the problem.

In this presentation, Nicole combines her expertise as an award-winning Nutritionist and Stress Expert to explain why the specific factors and habits that must be considered in order to have a digestive system that supports a healthy body and mind.

  Seminar 18 | Winning the Weight Loss Game

At any given time, 8 out of 10 people say they’re on a diet to lose weight. But is dieting really the key to weight loss, or is it just making us sick and fat? 

In this forward-thinking, no nonsense, information-packed seminar, Nicole brings over 30 years of experience in nutrition and fitness to share her top suggestions on how to win the weight loss game. Participants will discover why diet and exercise trends are sabotaging their results, which habits are too often overlooked and undervalued when it comes to weight management, and that losing weight (and keeping it off) doesn’t have to be a stressful, overwhelming, and impossible feat.

  Seminar 19 | A Manager’s Guide to The Mental Health Pandemic

Mental Health has always been an important subject, but in light of how the pandemic and stress levels have affected the workplace, the need for understanding and support from management is imperative. 

In this thoughtful and solution-oriented session, Nicole reveals how the hidden stressors linked to anxiety, depression and other mental health disorders can also provide multiple opportunities for leadership teams to not only attract and retain healthy and happy team members, but create a higher performing business as a result. 

  Seminar 20 | Managing Mood to Better Manage Life

Although the pandemic has provided us with opportunities to reflect and re-evaluate, it has also created consistent uncertainty and ongoing stress. But it’s not necessarily one additional event that makes life overwhelming. Instead, it’s the cumulation of multiple, consecutive events for which we were not able to prepare.

Discussing the importance of language, how to increase control over your mood, changing your relationship with emotions, and the neuroscience behind emotionality and how it can change our worldview, this 60-minute session will help you de-stress in the moment and sustain ways to manage your mood and your life with less pressure and more ease.

  Seminar 21 | The Re-Organization – Navigating the New Normal

Just as quickly as Covid disrupted our personal lives, it disrupted the workplace. But the time has come for us to adapt to a new normal.

In this 60-minute seminar, Nicole Porter, Stress Coach and Wellness Educator, shares a unique view on how and why specific stress-reducing habits must be prioritized in order to create the balance and routine necessary for optimal physical and mental health. Whether you work remotely, on-site, or in a hybrid workplace, you’ll walk away with realistic and practical advice for how to optimize your health, while best adapting to this post-pandemic life.

When your employees are healthy, so is your business.
