Keynotes & Creative Workshops

Rona offers inspiring and playful keynotes, presentations and creative leadership workshops that use the power of play to help staff and upper management unlock more creativity, happiness, well-being, and the innovative thinking needed to be their best at work…and everywhere else!

More and more, research shows us that having an attitude of play (and, y’know, actually DOING it), impacts on our minds and bodies throughout our lives. Being in the “Adult mind” makes us afraid of judgement. That can stop us from sharing ideas that could change the world! Rona customizes presentations and workshops that offer tips and tools to enhance team-building, improve workplace morale, employee retention and fosters a company culture that supports enhanced productivity and happiness.

Play makes life an adventure, not a responsibility! Come play with her! You know you want to….

You Want it WHEN?!

If you don’t feel safe, you’ll never have enough time! Psychological safety is critical and not only for finishing a project. It’s also a necessary ingredient for creativity. Without creativity, innovation is impossible, no matter how much time you have! This is needed for hybrid and WFH employees. Many feel alone and paranoid, and they lack life balance.

Instead, a psychologically safe environment promotes intellectual bravery. Hybrid and remote workers can become silos; they stand alone and don’t share with each other or communicate. They keep secrets and ideas to themselves because they’re afraid to be judged. In this talk, Rona shares ways to facilitate engagement and reduce that feeling of overwhelm to foster trust, vulnerability, and authenticity–and yes, this includes Purposeful and Attuned Play!

Play and Work are Both Four Letter Words
Or Thinking Like An Adult Can Kill Your Business)

The culture of business needs to change if employers want the best from their people. How work is done is morphing quickly. There is no more ‘business as usual.’ Companies need to roll with the punches and allow their people to produce without constraints on their time OR place. It doesn’t matter if the company has 20 people or 2,000, upper management needs to be willing to change attitudes if they want to stay relevant and keep employees happy. Shifting company culture to one of play and heightened creativity alleviates stress and brings out the best in employees. Play is actually backed by research and is necessary for ideation, team-building and giving employees back their “oomph!” It encourages brainstorming and interaction. Who doesn’t want that?! HOW to play is important, as well, and in this interesting and informative talk, Rona will give you tools to help your employees feel like they’re a needed part of the company, and this will increase the bottom line and decrease turnover.

“I had asked Rona to speak at our hospital’s Heart and Vascular Institute community education event for Heart Month. Rona was able to incorporate elements of nutrition and exercise into her overall theme of maintaining a healthy lifestyle. Her speaking style and enthusiasm kept the audience engaged and entertained. She offered a wealth of information on how to keep healthy and fit and she included a great deal of audience participation. It was, according to our post-event feedback, our top-rated event over the past seven years.”
