Leaders & Professionals in High-Stress Industries who are seeking tools to combat burnout, improve focus, and enhance well-being.
Organizations Focused on Mental Health & Employee Well-Being that want to equip their teams with mindfulness practices to reduce stress, increase engagement, and boost emotional resilience.
Teams Experiencing High Levels of Distraction looking to implement mindfulness strategies to improve presence, emotional intelligence, and peak performance.
In an age of rapid technological advances, global crises, and relentless change, our workforce is more stressed and burned out than ever before. According to Gallup’s State of the Global Workplace report, employees are experiencing record levels of stress, leading to a significant rise in mental health challenges. The American Institute of Stress estimates that workplace stress costs U.S. businesses over $300 billion per year. Meanwhile, research from Harvard Business Review shows we are only fully present about 50% of the day, meaning half of our workweek is lost to distractions, stress, and disengagement.
In this program, mindfulness keynote speaker Mike Lee shows how the present moment is the gateway to peak performance, engagement, and emotional well-being. With the acceleration of remote work, AI integration, and economic uncertainty, it’s easy to get stuck in past regrets or future worries. But the best thing you can do for your future self, your organization, and the people you lead is to master the ability to be fully present.
As the external world continues to evolve at a rapid speed, the key to sustainable growth is an internal shift. Mike Lee draws from his personal journey through adversity and his experience with sports performance to deliver a relatable and impactful keynote. By embracing mindfulness, we can develop emotional intelligence, build self-awareness, and cultivate the resilience needed to not just survive but thrive in today’s high-pressure environment.
