Leanna's Speaking Topics
Topic 1
Smash The Stigma: Awareness of Our Mental Health and Substance Abuse Post-COVID
According to the NAMI (National Alliance for Mental Illness), a stigma is when someone negatively views another person just because of a mental illness or substance use. This stigma results in shame, and those suffering fall into silence. Educating organizations, athletes, families, and communities about the stigma and the risk factors that could make one more susceptible to dependency or mental illness can smash the stigma and support others from falling into addiction or mental illness.
Greater awareness of mental illness and substance abuse supports an organization’s profitability, productivity, and efficiency. Teams aware of the risk and protective factors can build healthy habits and routines to promote health and well-being while achieving top peak performance. Communities will create strategic plans to implement community-wide messaging changes for youth and families.
Objectives:
- Overview of the history around the stigma that has kept those suffering from mental illness and substance to fall into silence
- Evidence-based strategies to reduce risk factors and enhance protective factors to improve health and wellness.
- Breakdown of the characteristics, traits, and behaviors that lead to dependency
- Approaches to establishing and maintaining healthy habits and behaviors
- Tools to reduce stress and anxiety within your organization, family, or team.
Topic 2
Strengthening Protective Factors: Strengthen The 8 Domains For Whole Life Wellness
Our country is a society of independence, individualism, and capitalism. Being an entrepreneur, creative, and innovative. The work-life balance of the 80’s trend has left us all striving for something that doesn’t exist. We work hard, get married, have a family, socialize with friends, and have good morals, but it’s never enough.
We have been conditioned through political campaigns such as the “just say no” campaign, setting our standards in the judgment of right and wrong, good and bad. We label people by the choices they make and the paths they take.
These well-researched personal development strategies for whole live wellness will leave your audiences with tools to apply immediately to establish a life fully rather than depleted and exhausted.
Objectives:
- Review the eight domains of the wellness initiative from SAMHSA
- Discuss applicable tools to make minor key improvements
- Identify, create, commitment to a measurable result
Topic 3
Mindfulness Practices For Productivity: Tap Into Brainwaves To Harness Energy and Work Flow Abundance
To make change happen in our life, we need to be aware of where we are leaking energy, time, and productivity. All things are made of energy, including our thoughts. Our thinking has a significant impact on our emotions.
And our emotions have a chemical link to our immune system through our central nervous system. Understanding the chemistry of our body, thoughts, and emotions allows us to use tools and develop skills to harness this energy to produce a higher quality of work in less time.
One of these tools is mindfulness, that proper meditation. When we can calm our thoughts, we calm our energy and produce better quality work. Learning a few simple mindfulness practices that can be done on the job, at home, in nature, or nearly anywhere at any time will produce a profitable business and high-performing athletes.
Objectives:
- Review the chemistry of brain waves and the nervous system due to stress
- Discuss evidence-based mindfulness practices for proven results
- Discuss applicable tools to make minor key improvements
