Corporate speaking – healthy and productive workers contribute to a healthy bottom line

I am a corporate wellness speaker. I lecture to groups large and small on topics such as stress management through food, the best snacks for 3pm and ten minute takeout alternatives you can make at home. I am looking for corporate wellness speaking opportunities.  However, its not always so easy to identify these opportunities. Its not like there is a website with a list of people out there who book outside speakers. It is often an insider process to discover these people. So I figured why not throw out into the universe of cyberspace my desire and see what comes back to me.

If anyone reading this is or know someone who books speakers, please contact me. I speak on a variety of topics. I can  how the foods we eat can relieve or exacerbate stress, the best snacks for 3pm and 10 minute after work meals. In addition I hold workshops on an ongoing basis.

In just one session, several attendees from previous sessions have told me they felt lighter and more equipped to handle worktime stress and implemented just a few steps from my workshop such as deep breathing or making green smoothies and they actually lost those stubborn five pounds that nutrisystem, weight watchers and many other diet programs had not enabled them to do. My programs are based on the concept of motivational wellness. You actually want to be healthier when you have a coach who holds you accountable. That is the essence of my presentation style and what I provide to my clients on an ongoing basis. I hold your hand, but I also whip you into shape and the best part is, you don’t even realize it.

One of my male clients recently wrote on his outgoing evaluation that he felt working with me was completely natural. He made changes in his diet that he didn’t even realize he was doing and addressed issues in his personal life and blocks he hadn’t realized he had set before himself. He discovered his true potential and what he truly wanted out of his career and started looking for a new job in software development instead of his current position selling life insurance. He knew that he was completely happy in a job in software development several years back and that his weight gain and feeling of lost self control was 100% related to him not being happy in his career. It took nearly 11 sessions to get to this point. We had fixed the diet but not gotten to the root cause -but eventually we did and he was all the more happier for it. Nothing made me feel better as a coach than to hear him say this and announce it at a meeting of our peers.

So, the bottom line is healthy employees affect a healthy bottom line. In times where we are cutting budgets and no one feels they have any money to spend on wellness – this is actually the most important time to make these investments. The health and emotional well being of your staff is probably your most important asset. Not investing in your staff and the preventative measures they can take to keep themselves healthy can affect your bottom line in raised health care premiums due to higher use of prescription drugs to control lifestyle diseases such as diabetes and high blood pressure. Investing in wellness programs can reduce these issues and dependency on these drugs if people are properly motivated to take care of themselves. I can provide that motivation.
