Heidy LaFleur Speaking Topics

Mental Health |Trauma | Education: Soaring Balloons & Heavy Shackles Helping the Most Challenged Kids Soar

This powerful true story, based on real life trauma, provides practical strategies to understand how our Actions, Words & Expressions (AWE) have a direct impact on the outcome of interactions with our students.

Trauma transforms the student experience and practicing our perspective can assist in a child’s journey to reclaim livelihood. We are empowered to be a part of the problem or part of the solution with all kids. Our AWE can either add weight to their shackles or fill their balloons to soar.

Attendee results:
- Learn and be able to act upon the difference between trauma aware and trauma informed.
- Realize the impact of changing perspective from the kid is giving me a hard time, to the kid is having a hard time.
- Understand how human behavior is like a bonfire and adults can add fuel to it and accelerate it, or add water to it and calm it.
Trauma and Science Brain Behavior |Self-Regulation/Education: From Chaos to Calm Proactively Responding to Student Behavior

In our trauma-filled world, all people want to be seen, heard, understood and validated as they communicate through behavior. All past experiences, circumstances & stories determine physical and emotional regulation which can be communicated through anger, defiance and misunderstood intent. Learning the art of responding rather than reacting starts with self-regulation skills and a proactive mindset that resets everyday. Taking care of your own regulation can and will determine an escalation to chaos or a de-escalation to calm.

Using the latest brain-based trauma research, gain more than 10 practical strategies to work through any situation by understanding that self-regulation and proactivity are key in taking any situation from chaos to calm.

Behavior is an attempt to communicate. Our response back is communication as well. If we want to change behavior, we model, teach and help students grow their coping skills for life; we consequence. If we want to feel instant gratification that the child "needs to pay" for his• her-their actions; we punish.

Learn the difference between consequence mindset and punishment mindset and realize people become defiant for a reason. Using Heidy LaFleur’s Social Emotional Alphabet, realize there’s a difference between Defiant & Deficient students, we must Empower over Ego, give Feedback with Feeling, provide Golden Greetings, honor one's Journey without Judgement, be Open to Opposition & Value Vulnerability.

Education | Discipline | Behavior : Keep Them in Class

Regulating oneself is the first step to de escalating behavior & building relationships with OUR kids. Often, safe behavior can be annoying, but should not warrant a student being removed from class. We will define safe vs. unsafe behavior, discuss what to say and do when students communicate through undesired behavior & “be a VERB” in order to problem solve.
