Dr. Cannon's Sample Keynote Talks:
Put Stress in its Place!
Paths to stress resilience for more joyous living
Why is watching the final period of a Flames game ‘fun’, but public speaking or renovating your kitchen ‘stressful’? Why do some people flock to sing karaoke, and others dive under the table? Stress is a remarkably powerful influence in our lives, but it means different things, at different times, to different people!! Learn how stress jazzes up your life, and how it weighs you down. Hear Colleen make sense of it all, and become an expert in identifying your own stress response and building your “stress resilience”. Colleen’s inspiring and humorous presentation will fortify and inspire you to move stress to the periphery of your life.
REAL Change for REAL Life!
How to make it happen
Healthy changes seem like such a good idea…until ‘real’ life gets in the way and we lose our focus. What happens to our good intentions? Whether it’s changes in work, relationships, or other life goals, if you find making and sustaining change hard, you are in very, very good company. How do you bridge the gap between wanting things to be different, and being ready to make changes? Stop waiting for an epiphany! Stop ‘should-ing’ on yourself! Stop telling yourself “I’ll start again on Monday”! Learn how to chart a course for change that engages your curiosity and accommodates your many other life priorities. The tools for moving forward successfully are as limitless as your own imagination. Join Colleen as she draws on real stories, of real people, making real changes.
