Workshops

Customized training for your team using research-backed strategies for well-being and performance. My signature workshops are below:

The Resilience Toolkit: Strategies for Strength, Growth, & Connection

  • People in demanding environments are facing unprecedented levels of pressure, uncertainty, and rapid change. The demands of peak performance can lead to burnout, decision fatigue, and decreased productivity if not managed effectively.

    Mere adaptation to stress is no longer enough—true success comes from actively training our mindset to thrive under pressure.

    This program equips people in demanding industries, such as athletes, employees, leaders, and executives with research-backed resilience tools used by the US military and elite sports teams. Learn how to build psychological flexibility, sustain high performance, and navigate adversity with confidence in today’s fast-paced environments.

    1. Develop a Resilient Mindset: Apply elite-level mental training strategies to strengthen your ability to stay focused, composed, and adaptable in high-pressure situations.

    2. Enhance Decision-Making Strategies to Perform Your Best When it Matters Most: Use data-driven cognitive techniques to maintain clarity, regulate emotions, and make sound decisions when the stakes are high.

    3. Sustain Peak Performance and Well-Being: Implement daily habits and recovery strategies that prevent burnout and support long-term success in demanding environments.

  • Half-day (3 hour) workshops cover 3 skills (typically my Core Strategies: Values, Gratitude, and Connection)

    Full-day (6 hour) workshops cover 6 skills (typically my Core Strategies plus Mindfulness, Tactical Breathing, and Controlling the Controllables)

Developing Fearless Teams

  • The highest-performing teams excel in both high standards and strong support—creating an environment where employees are challenged to grow and empowered to succeed. This balance is driven by effective leadership and fully engaged team members.

    We leverage research-backed strategies from Acceptance and Commitment Training (ACT), Emotionally Focused Training (EFT), and psychological safety to help organizations:

    • Strengthen leadership effectiveness

    • Foster a culture of trust and accountability

    • Enhance team engagement and collaboration

    • Develop resilience in the face of challenges

    Unlock your team’s full potential with proven methods that drive lasting success. Let’s build a high-performance culture together.

    1. Master key performance elements and high-quality interpersonal interactions between team members:

      Gain deeper understanding of psychological factors driving performance.

      Use research-backed tools to create an environment where employees feel valued and motivated.

    2. Leverage research-backed tools to enhance communication, efficiency, and transparency on teams:

      Recognize and avoid common leadership and teamwork pitfalls.

      Implement strategies that improve clarity, alignment, and accountability across teams.

    3. Use data-informed frameworks to strengthen self-awareness and team cohesion:

      Develop a deeper understanding of yourself and your team members.

      Apply tools that enhance trust, engagement, and collaboration, which are drivers of a high-performance culture.

  • Half-day (3 hour) or full-day (6 hour) workshop.

    I also offer this to leadership teams in collaboration with Dr. Dave Jackson as an intimate retreat (6-10 attendees).

    During this retreat, we cultivate intimate, high-impact, growth-driven conversations that fuel real change

Each workshop incorporates interactive breakout activities and experiential exercises to practice learned skills.

Attendees leave with a personalized plan and access to our toolkit that expands on the science and provides additional resources to facilitate skill implementation.

Mental Health Certification

Accredited, evidence-based mental health certification courses

  • Mental Health First Aid (MHFA) is a skills-based training that teaches people how to identify, understand, and respond to signs and symptoms of a mental health or substance use challenge in adults ages 18 and over.

    The evidence behind MHFA demonstrates that it builds mental health literacy, providing an action plan that teaches people to safely and responsibly identify and address a potential mental health or substance use challenge. This course is offered virtually or in-person.

    I am also certified in several specialty modules:

    • Fire & EMS (in-person only)

    • Military Members, Veterans, and Their Families (in-person only)

    • Older Adults (in-person only)

    • Higher Education (in-person or virtual)

    MHFA certification is good for 3 years

  • QPR (Question, Persuade, & Refer) is a program that works by teaching participants skills they can use when someone is experiencing a potential mental health crisis.

    Just like CPR, QPR is an emergency response to someone in crisis and can save lives. It is the most widely taught Gatekeeper Training in the world.

    Although I recommend the course be held for 2 hours, I also offer a basic 1-hour certification course.

    QPR Certification is good for 1 year

    I will also be responsible for updating the QPR for Athletics curriculum.
