Mental Flexibility: Harnessing Your Remarkable Mind
Your personal power is either hindered or helped by how you choose to interpret a situation or event. By focusing on what you can control and managing what you cannot control, you can become stronger not despite challenges but because of them.

Much of what we believe is unconscious, and as humans, we are developmentally wired to feel and act without thinking much about it. So, just like everyone else, leaders often let their instincts call the shots, but leaders' instincts can lead them astray.

Amy describes common thinking errors and how to circumvent them. She explains how to reframe your unhelpful thoughts and improve your healthcare leadership mindset.

Choices, Chances, Changes: The 3 Cs of Life
Remember Your Power to Choose Success

You must make a choice to take a chance or your life will never change. No more being stuck or blaming others! This hilarious but poignant presentation explores how brain and behavior science can help you take back your power to shape your own destiny by making conscious choices and taking chances that align with your goals.

This gives them time to reframe challenges and literally change the way they look at things and how they choose to move forward through change. They’ll learn how to self-guide by asking questions such as, “Will this choice put me closer to or further from my goal?” and “Is what I’m about to say necessary? Will it strengthen my relationship bridge or weaken it?” Attendees will even discover how to find meaning—and value—in failures and how to take brave chances that will create positive change in their lives. Examples of the specific types of challenges your organization and audience face can be included.
