Funk To Flow Workshop and Presentation Topics
Below are some of the workshops that I give to organizations or topics I can speak on. Contact me today to customize a workshop or presentation for your organization.

1. Been Putting Off that Next Step in Your Career? Tips for Talented and Successful People to Get Out of Their Own Way.
Are you tired of going through the motions, but you just can't seem to make a change? Do you know on one level you can make the leap, but as soon as you start to think about it, you second-guess yourself and think you can't? Do you feel constricted by certain obligations that seem unchangeable for you, so you shelve your true ambition? Do you know your soul needs a change, but you just can't figure out what's the next step?

If you have been putting off taking that next step in your career, then I can help. I'll explain exactly what you have been doing to get in your own way. I'll discuss how to overcome your limited sense of possibility for yourself and feel more confident than you have ever felt in your life. I'll give practical, in-the-moment strategies to kiss that doubting voice goodbye…forever! In addition, I'll teach you to be authentic to the true ambitions you have for yourself and to make choices that will get you satisfaction in your success. Get ready to get busy!

2. Avoiding the Backroads and Byways on the Highway to Productivity: Removing Roadblocks to Achieving Goals at Work.
This presentation helps make individuals aware of any ways they think, act, and respond on a daily basis that cause them to lose time, lose focus, and feel exhausted in their day-to-day lives at work. I provide a series of practical exercises that teach people skills that will help them stay at the top of their game every day. Employees will leave the workshop with the following skills (plus many more):

  • Easy to apply and sustain exercises to totally eliminate the negative self talk that limits productivity
  • Practical strategies for maintaining focus and for having unprecedented confidence
  • Detailed awareness of personal reactivity to stressful interpersonal interactions and practical strategies to act with poise and confidence
  • Effective "read" on others' interpersonal situations to influence organizational dynamics and move others to action
  • Breakthrough awareness of how longstanding ways of behaving have helped you gain your current success but may limit future success
  • Skills to shift from exhausted to energized
  • Effective self leadership for improved collaboration with others

This workshop is helpful for employees at all levels in the organization and can be targeted accordingly. When targeted towards mid to senior level executives, this workshop focuses more on effective leadership: How to be a more effective leader over your own life as a way of being a more effective leader over other's lives.

"After my own introspection, facilitation of many groups, and too many women's workshops to count, it's hard to be impressed. Sharon gives a finely tuned, expertly crafted version of some of the things you might "know" in your head but haven't been able to take into your life. Her expertise as a facilitator connects each person with the places that they are stuck. She gave an amazingly insightful look into how I see myself and then gave me practical tools that are powerful and extremely effective for making changes in my perspective. Many of the insights I learned that afternoon I use today. I also talk about them with my clients. I wouldn't recommend it if I didn't think she was exceptional."

3. From Funk to Flow: Tips for Talented and Successful People to Get Out of Their Own Way
This presentation will help people dealing with the following (or similar) "Funks":

  • You've drifted away from your dream ambition or you know you are ready for a next step you can't seem to make.
  • You feel stressed out and out of control in making the work-life balance you want.
  • There are people in important roles in your life whom you feel disempowered in relation to.
  • You've lost your confidence and you are no longer being the person you thought you'd be.

From listening to hundreds of talented and successful people who are getting in their own way, I have identified the three ways that people get in their own way and have developed fast acting and effective strategies to overcome each one - in other words, the secret to going from Funk to Flow. Listeners will leave energized with a clearer and deeper understanding of what people do to get in their way, and practical, in-the-moment exercises to start the process of getting back onto the track of feeling powerful and fulfilling one's potential.

4. Maintaining a Confident Mindset: An Everyday Mental Workout for the Successful Salesperson
Successful salespeople transcend the unique challenges in their work: to not personalize the process, learn from mistakes, keep putting out their best vibe in the relationships, maintain their focus through the ups and downs of the business cycle. So how do you get to that level of success? It all depends on the salesperson's mindset. In this presentation, I will discuss the challenges and choices and how to handle them. I will teach effective, practical tools for maintaining confidence and focus throughout the sales cycle, and for "defanging" the inner voices of doubt.

5. Confident Communication and Command Presence in the Workplace
In this workshop, participants will master techniques for presenting in many situations, including case presentations, client meetings, interaction with superiors in the organization, and general public speaking. Participants will leave with practical tools to 1) have a confident, commanding presence, 2) develop and maintain a confident mindset, 3) master "delivery," and 4) customize a message to the needs of listeners.
