Topics, sessions and talks
Many people experience imposter syndrome, negative thoughts and lack of confidence but this doesn’t need to be the norm. During this empowering session, Elyssa will help employees understand their mind more and learn actionable steps to manage their mindset. The session will cover 5 common mindset traps and how to overcome them, the inner critic and inner nurturer, how their thoughts become their actions and how we can create meanings from different situations.
The aim of this interactive session is for attendees to understand what is holding them back and take steps to build their confidence. Attendees will be given space to reflect on their perceived limitations, understand what limiting beliefs are and how they are created, learn how to challenge and reframe their limiting beliefs and be given advice on how to step out of their comfort zone.
Work can sometimes become stressful and overwhelming, whether it's being new in a role, managing multiple deadlines or dealing with challenging situations. This session provides attendees with tools they can utilise to calm their mind and body if they are feeling stressed or overwhelmed. Attendees will be taken through a relaxing meditation, learn about the fight or flight response, be guided through 4 techniques to activate the parasympathetic nervous system, learn 5 ways to calm their mind and create a toolbox of their favourite techniques.
Elyssa Desai offers your team transformative insights into overcoming self-doubt and imposter syndrome, fostering a culture of confidence and growth. Her expertise will empower your employees to unlock their full potential, enhance team dynamics, and drive your business towards greater success.
