Keynote Insights: Elevate & Thrive at ATD Sacramento ElevatED!
On November 1st, I delivered the keynote at ATD Sacramento ElevatED! Revitalize & Thrive—a moment that perfectly echoed the message of my book, Everybody, Be Cool!. In this post, I share reflections on harnessing personal growth and self-awareness to transform workplace culture, recounting key insights and inspiring moments from that dynamic day.
What Dr. Gabor Maté teaches us about being cool
That time I met Dr. Gabor Maté and gave him a copy of Everybody, Be Cool! Dr. Maté is an expert, speaker, and all-around amazing human being whose quotes on trauma and awareness are included in Everybody, Be Cool! His best-selling books The Myth of Normal and When the Body Says No: The Cost of Hidden Stress.
Self-Awareness and Personal Development
We often think of leadership as a title or a position, something reserved for those who manage teams or run organizations. But what if I told you that leadership starts with you, right where you are? Yes, even if you're not officially designated as a leader (yet). The truth is that anyone can be a leader by taking charge of their own personal development and self-awareness, as covered in the book Everybody, Be Cool!
