Available Programs:
Men And Women: Can We Talk - Only two types of audiences qualify: Men and Women! Insightful. Rousing. Hilarious. Today’s workplace is characterized by diversity--especially in terms of gender. The focus is on team performance. Managers are aware that “team” members perform different functions and come from different disciplines, but often overlook the different ways men and women respond to an array of normal communications. As women have increasingly entered the workforce, the differences in communication styles between men and women have become a fun--but sometimes frustrating--topic of conversation. Comments such as “let’s discuss the issue” or “just give the headline” are received very differently by the two genders. This program reveals these differences with a dose of good humor, but hidden among the laughter are gems of wisdom that will help improve your communication with the opposite sex. Developing an understanding of the delicate nuances that surround inter-gender communications can improve team effectiveness and employee performance. Get past the myths and stereotypes and come away with tips for both men and women when listening and speaking with each other at work, and at home. Mimi interlaces her practical tips and astute observations with personal stories and insights--as well as some terrific one-liners. A must-see presentation for anyone who has contact with the opposite sex.

All Stressed Up And No Place To Go - Mimi has a captivating and humorous way for audiences to recognize their own stress triggers right before their eyes. Her real gifts are the techniques she shares so that everyone can avoid going from “calming down to blowing up." Stress is a “given” in contemporary life. Many events are unavoidable but our responses - the stress we feel in reaction - are within our control. Indeed, what’s stressful for one person may not even bother another. Some people linger over magazines in supermarket lines while others fume and seethe. To manage everyday stress, people must learn to identify their own stress “triggers” - the little things that set them off. Next, they must delve deeper to discover why things bother them - the “war” within - worry, anger, and resentment, that causes the stress response. Mimi will help you see the stress triggers coming and respond to them effectively. Audiences are advised to: Stop - recognize the trigger and step back before you lose control. Look - discover the real cause of the “war” within. Listen - to your inner self and act according to one of three options: ADAPT ALTER AVOID
