Resign as General Manager of the Universe: Refresh, Refuel, and Refocus YOURSELF in an Overwhelming World That Never Slows Down
Kim has a secret to share. There’s no such thing as work-life balance! In this fast-paced, chaotic, work-from-anywhere, high-stress world, life is anything but balanced. Add in the endless list of competing priorities, too much to do and not enough time, increasing negativity, the need to do more with less, and the relentless tide of change and challenge (change fatigue anyone?!), and it’s no wonder overwhelm and burnout are on the rise in this world of “so muchness.”

The good news is that even in the midst of change and uncertainty, you can have a healthy work-life blend. This interactive and energetic program reveals practical, immediately actionable strategies for reducing stress, overwhelm, and burnout and boosting your resilience so you can take control of your well-being, increase your energy, improve your productivity and focus, and create a life where you’re showing up as your best self at work and at home.

This Program Is Perfect for Leaders at Every Level* Who Are:

Wanting to find a healthy work-life balance blend in a 24/7, tech-driven, always on, constantly changing, work-from-anywhere, nonstop world that never slows down

Losing confidence in themselves as their self-limiting beliefs, fear, and inner bully get louder with each new wave of change and challenge

Trying to stay motivated and maintain a healthy level of positivity and optimism in an increasingly polarized, often negative world

Your Leaders at Every Level Will Leave Able To:

Maximize their energy (Psst….it’s more than just time) management and become more focused, present, productive, engaged, and connected

Lean into the power of the pause, harnessing their self-awareness and emotional intelligence to acknowledge how they feel and identify what they need to keep going

Utilize powerful mindset shifts to focus on the positive in a sometimes negative, high-conflict, polarized world

Skyrocket productivity and well-being by setting boundaries, prioritizing self-care, saying NO without guilt, and delegating more effectively

* Psst: Guess what? Titles don't define us. We're all leaders from where we are!
