Are You Prepared for Success at Life?

Why is it that highly skilled folks, some even with PHD's and other amazing credentials and achievements still lack some of the most important skills, tools & strategies to succeed at work and in life?

Why do so many professionals end up burnt out, depressed, stressed, anxious, demotivated and unfulfilled?
It's not their fault. Most schools don't focus on the top skills needed in life.

The average student graduates thinking that knowing the answers and having a great GPA should be the key to success.
But that's just not enough in the REAL WORLD.

Thousands of kids graduate every year with the same degree. So which ones will get the jobs? Who will be promoted? Who will be happy?
From large workloads to conflicting priorities, bad bosses, stressful protocols and demands, managing conflict and remaining motivated and focused - all while balancing your family, relationships, health and personal interests -

ARE YOU TRULY READY ?

Experience The Big 5 Essentials & More!

Increase Your Confidence!

Apply for a new job, land that promotion, pitch your ideas, get a date, assert your needs and inspire others: your life’s success is directly linked to your levels of self-confidence. Otherwise, you’re likely to settle and have regrets.

Don’t be that person. Learn how to bring out the optimal version of yourself and how to sustain it!

Effective Communication!

The Carnegie Institute of Technology asserts that ‘85% of your financial and career success is based on your personality, ability to communicate, negotiate and lead. Only 15% is due to technical knowledge.’ 

Give yourself an edge when it comes to effective and assertive communication. Learn to set boundaries, convey ideas and provide feedback while avoiding conflict and maintaining good relationships. Useful in both your personal and professional life

Thank you for making the past two days so interesting. The time certainly flew by and was not the usual type of course where people are ready for a nap by the afternoon. I look forward to putting many of the techniques you showed us into practice. Also, thanks for the recipe. I am definitely going to try it. Warm regards and take care!

I was very impressed with a talk Samantha gave at the annual FMI conference and invited her to give another presentation to my staff. Our group felt that what she covered was quite valuable to them and they really enjoyed her talk as well as the inclusiveness. I am happy to share my comments with others.

Instructor was great and more than willing to help participants if needed. I enjoyed the course and it provided alot of things to be mindful of and aware but also understanding our own communication style as well as others to ensure results we are aiming for.

Samantha is a great choice for your next team building mission. She has a unique and friendly way of connecting with each person in the room and somehow makes you feel OK about yourself and what you’re doing, despite thoughts you may have otherwise. Of course we’re all there to learn and improve---and Samantha gets you pointed in the right direction to help solve problems we all encounter on the journey of business and personal life. She doesn’t connect the dots for you—but she puts all the dots on the table to help you recognize and navigate on your own to a solution that makes sense just for you!

Samantha is an amazing teacher, I knew coming in that I'd come out with a great experience and once again I wasn't disappointed. A huge thank you, I've been working on myself a lot these past two years and this was the push I really required to climb higher, to overcome my fears and I now feel like I have the tools and the support around me to do it. My eyes are open and I'm ready to assert myself and be more vocal. I will definitely recommend this course and ensure our HR team knows about it for employees throughout our organization.

I really enjoyed Samantha's relaxed, low-key approach to covering this subject matter. She took the time to listen, was non-judgmental, and shared personal anecdotes that were relatable and poignant. The use of humour was also very much appreciated as well. I like to think that I am somewhat familiar with stress-management techniques and positive psychology, but I learned a lot of very valuable information that I wasn't aware of before. Thank you!

I manage a sales team that faces change and adversity on a daily basis. I have Samantha facilitate my offsite training sessions each year. She has fresh ideas that she brings to the training that is always relevant and engaging. We always leave the meetings with things that we can apply and embrace in our work daily. I highly recommend Samantha to be part of growing your teams productivity and resilience.

Samantha came to our group fully prepared with relevant information about our specific team, industry, and workloads. I walked away feeling more at ease with my stress levels/projects for work with the way she had us review our priorities for life, family, and career. She also seemed to really understand each personality in our group, and while she encouraged everyone to participate, she didn’t put anyone on the spot to make them feel uncomfortable. Great session!

Hi Samantha, I wanted to send a note of thanks for the overall session. The session was informative and yet presented in a fun way. As I noted, you made it relaxed and engaging. Today I even noted that many staff appeared closer to their screens than I’ve seen in months! So they were listening! It was a great course and quite useful! Many take aways which I appreciated. Bonne fin de semaine!
