Signature Keynote
1st Class Beginnings: EmpowerED Strategies for New TeachersAvailable as:
1-hour keynote | 2-hour interactive workshop | Half-day PD | Virtual via Zoom
Ideal for B.Ed students, new teachers, and faculties of education, this highly interactive session combines neuroscience, Core Energy coaching, and theatre-based experiential activities to prepare teachers for the real emotional demands of the classroom — before burnout finds them.
What makes this session unforgettable:
→ Simon Says — deliberately rigged to create live frustration. Participants practice releasing outcome, embracing imperfection, and responding with self-compassion. A rehearsal for every difficult classroom moment.
→ Walk with Me — a trust-based blindfolded walking experience that becomes a powerful reflection on self-care: you give your students exactly the attention you deserve to give yourself.
→ Neuroscience 101 — the Prefrontal Cortex (your Treasure Cove) vs. the Amygdala (your Panic Room). How stress hijacks your intelligence — and how to get it back.
→ The 7 Levels of Energy — practical tools to recognize where you are energetically and how to shift, in real time, in any classroom.
→ Self-Compassion as a Teaching Strategy — releasing perfectionism, editing the inner critic, and building the foundation of a sustainable 30-year career.
→ Dance Party — because joy is not optional. It's the whole point. "Participants leave with tools they can use the next day — and a fundamentally different relationship with self-compassion."
