Many people I spoke with agreed that this was the best Leadership Development Workshop that we’ve ever had. We had a feeling it would be, based on past sessions that Robin has delivered and as we noticed this one filling up like no other. 96 people registered for this great event and there were so many powerful nuggets and tips for successfully leading and communicating with a team. Here are just a few of the great take-aways that I gleaned from Robin:

- 70% of people say that they would rather have a nice boss than a 10% raise in pay!
- People don’t leave jobs, they leave managers.
- You only stress about what you care about. Instead of saying I’m so stressed about something, learn to say that I care about this.
- When we stress about something, our sympathetic system releases 9 stress hormones that cause everything from headaches, tension, digestive upset, fatigue, joint pain, sleep problems, anxiety, depression, and anger.
- How many people value their work but are no longer whistling on the way to work? It’s because they have too much stress hormones.
- To get out of constant stress, we have to learn to recognize when we are living in our “survival brain” and through thinking and breathing skills move to our “thinking brain”.
- When another person is toxic and rages, you can do slow breathing and stay calm. You can actually change them through limbic resonance.
- “If you’re in a leadership role, you represent everyone’s unfinished mom and dad issues!”
- Words have very little communication value. What impacts our staff the most is tone of voice, facial expressions, gestures, and mood.
- “Do you know what you sound like when you see someone you like and are glad to see them? Work to be like that all the time!”
- “Every story creates a feeling. What story could you tell yourself when you don’t like it?”
