Patrice Ford Lyn Speaking Topics

  • Personal Development as a Tool for Strengthening Your Leadership Abilities

    There is a famous quote “Wherever we go, there we are.” by Jon Kabat-Zinn. It reminds us that whether we are in a business meeting, at home with family, playing sports with friends, or having a political debate with contemporaries, we bring ourselves to whatever arena we are in.

    So, when CEOs and other executives focus on our personal growth, we don’t just become more thoughtful people; we become more thoughtful leaders. We are more insightful in the ways we manage our teams and more visionary in our ability to guide our organizations. Working on ourselves as leaders helps us show up more powerfully for those that we have the responsibility of guiding.

    This presentation will focus on three targeted areas:

    • Challenges encountered in leadership
    • Coaching/leadership development as a viable solution
    • Ways to get your company on board with your growth

  • Managing Imposter Syndrome

    Everyone else who says they feel like they have the imposter syndrome is an imposter. But you, you are really a fraud. Right? Keep thinking that and you will never achieve your greatness.

    The impostor syndrome is a self-fulfilling belief where you doubt your own intelligence and talents. It often comes up at times that others might associate with success and happiness: getting a promotion, starting your own business, or having a child. When experiencing imposter syndrome, you’re so certain that you aren’t good at something that you think that anyone who says otherwise is either being very optimistic, slightly delusional, or dishonest.

    In this presentation we will explore how you identify whether or not you are suffering from imposter syndrome and the ways you can overcome it. Feeling like a fraud can happen in a minute but it can take valuable time and real support to work your way out of those thoughts. If you don't take the time, you're likely to self sabotage and play small • developing a negative cycle of fear, doubt and shame. You don't have to keep feeling like a fraud. You can be both great and a work in progress.

  • Rest - Recipe for Increased Performance and Productivity

    What I'm hearing is we don’t actually know what the soft life is or what it feels like, even if we’re saying we do. Hear me out. We’ve been taking soft breaks, not living a soft life. It’s actually a cycle: We work ourselves to exhaustion, take a break, a quick vacation, dinner with friends and then get right back on the expressway to exhaustion. There is a shadow side to our drive for excellence.

    How do we slow down without feeling that we’re dropping the ball, being irresponsible or seen as less capable? Often, we aren’t even aware that this is the fear behind the ways we push ourselves beyond our limits. When asked, friends and colleagues are more likely to say they don't slow down because they have too much on their plate.

    What folks tend to forget is that each minute isn’t the same. The quality of our time changes based on how rested we are. A task that takes me two hours to complete can be done in 15 mins with the right focus and clarity. Have you noticed this?

    • In this lesson we will:
    • Address the signs of burnout
    • Discuss tips for managing the times when we are ‘resisting rest’
    • Provide resources that could be used to help us slow down in the most productive and highly effective way
    • It might feel counterintuitive, but doing less can actually be more
