Content is designed to be easy and for immediate implementation. Let’s get your staff back on track and driving in the fast lane now. Your conference stage or office environment will be given a bolt of energy and passion to inspire and motivate attendees!
Speaking Engagment Topics: (These are suggestions and can be customized for your group)
Productivity Despite Distractions
Attendees will glean countless tools to begin or maintain productivity. We will deep-dive into the three main areas of distractions: Cognitive, Sensory, and Environmental and how to ‘attack the distractions.’ From learning how to handle expectations and demands, confronting worry, to overcoming procrastination, perfectionism, and impulsivity. Each of these reduce productivity. Your team will walk away from this speaking engagement with actionable tools that will allow them to know how and where to make changes to their current work model. This presentation is particularly helpful for those whom struggle with a neuro-diverse brain.
Communicative Leadership Using Coaching
By addressing some of the Laws of Leadership from John Maxwell, this speaking engagement goes into the skills a leader needs to possess in order to empower and motivate those in their department or on their team. Many leaders have a skewed sense of what it means to lead and they tend to become dictators. This doesn’t work. Successful leaders learn the art of motivating communication: both verbal and non-verbal communication skills, using sales techniques to convey an idea, and understanding psychological effects of words. Discover how to level up your direct reports using coaching techniques and why this works best. Attendees learn how to give useful feedback versus criticism, and how to get the best out of people – which ultimately increases the self-esteem of those direct reports – and they then become more productive partners within the organization!
Managing Your Time
This half-day workshop covers it all. Learn to take control using Time Management Skills – which are essentially ‘Task Management’ skills. Attendees discover what their time is worth; The use of Task Management Systems (TMS) – manual vs. computer, as well as the features & components of a good system. They will learn, and get to practice, how to use a TMS, from proper calendaring and daily scheduling, to dealing with interruptions, commitments, and myriad projects. Discussion on having more effective and efficient meetings is also covered from agendas, planning, presenting, and delegating. To top the presentation off, participants will learn ‘sure-fire’ ways to manage paper and clutter as these issues negatively affect the use of one’s time. Ample opportunity is available for answering specific questions. Skills are immediately implementable.
ADHD in the Workplace
Adults with ADHD in the workforce have dual challenges of doing their job and the tasks associated with them, as well as navigating the social and corporate structure within the organization. This includes collaboration, communication, and presentation skills, in addition to organizing, prioritizing, and following through on deliverables.
This presentation is for you — whether you are the employee with ADHD; the leader of a team with a direct report with ADHD; or you suspect you work for a boss with ADHD. I have seen each of these scenarios play out in multiple ways as a Productivity Coach for Adult Professionals with ADHD. Understanding some of the ways that the ADHD individual can become ‘stuck’ as well as the dynamics and challenges confronting those employees will help the colleague or superior understand how to better support and motivate. Learning how to approach various situations with awareness, compassion, and potential strategies can create a cohesive and functional working environment for everyone. Executive functioning skills and harnessing them better are addressed in this talk.
Finals, and Midterms, and Papers… Oh My!
Once a student starts at your college or university – you want them to actually graduate. This 1.75 hr. seminar is geared toward first year college students so they get on the right track for academic success on day one. This speaking engagement teaches how to balance ALL those new responsibilities from registering for classes on time, eating and sleeping regularly, to balancing homework, self-care tasks, and study time with an ever-changing and unstructured schedule. For many, particularly those who are neurodiverse, those issues are particularly stressful. Learning the skills taught in this seminar can mean the difference between dropping out of college and graduating. Book this speaking engagement for your incoming college students so they stay off academic probation and graduate to become productive (and happy) members of society.
“I took your Time Management class at Santa Barbara City College a few weeks back and wanted to let you know how much what you taught has helped me. Everyone in our office is now using WeDo, which is awesome, and suddenly mine is the most organized desk in the office. I used the system you showed us of having folders in files to organize my desk, which used to just be a big stack of confused papers in a drawer to ignore. I listen to classical music in an earbud while I work. It’s remarkable how much easier it is for my scattered brain to get started on things and follow through on them when I take the time to lay it all out for myself. Next step? Figure out how to implement it at home.”
“Juli Shulem is a dynamic presenter with a wealth of experience in productivity coaching for organizational success. Her ideas are fresh, relevant, and immediately applicable. Her work pragmatically addresses the real issues that constrain learners in school and professionals striving for excellence in their field. Her professionalism and personal warmth combine to help people balance busy lives and prioritize important growth goals. I highly recommend her.”
“I think you are brilliant and what you are doing for College kids inspiring! The information you offered in your talk I think is invaluable to coaches working with college youths and I am grateful for you sharing your expertise.”
“Thank you so much for presenting to our AET group. Although we were few in number, you had an appreciative audience. I loved the practical suggestions and you sharing what you have found to be most effective such as Mozart music, and multi tasking and the importance of creating a safe setting. It was especially wonderful that you allowed time for us to bring forward for discussion our own particularly challenging situations and you sharing your challenging journey with your son.
You are an invaluable resource.
With great appreciation.
