Studies reveal that 85% of people suffer from a lack of self-confidence, while 70% admit to experiencing imposter syndrome at work. This draining negative self-talk leads to procrastination, creates unnecessary stress, and wastes valuable time and energy.

Negative self-talk also creates resistance to change as employees struggle with uncertainty and convince themselves they can’t learn new skills or adapt to the changes facing them.

A lack of self-confidence can lead to toxic work environments, demotivated employees, and unnecessarily high employee turnover rates. A lack of focus leads to an excessive “squirrel brain” at work – contributing to even more stress and creating an enormous drain on productivity.

Conversely, when employees learn to be more con‑dent and focus their thoughts, they will be happier, more innovative, and far more productive. They’ll communicate with greater confidence and clarity. They’ll experience far less stress. And they’ll be more likely to step up as a leader on their teams.

And when your employees gain more confidence and focus, the impact will be felt throughout your team, and ultimately, your entire organization!

Nathalie Plamondon-Thomas’ THINK Yourself® CONFIDENT keynote is engaging, fun and informative. Whether it’s frontline employees facing disruption, salespeople struggling with how to handle rejection, or first-time supervisors needing a dose of confidence to step into their new roles, the proven system Nathalie Plamondon-Thomas shared in her 8 International No.1 Bestsellers will help your team perform at their fullest potential!

People don’t leave their job. They leave the boss they don’t respect or the co-worker that drives them nuts!

Demotivated employees and high employee turnover rates are extremely costly. Presenteeism, where employees show up at work, but not to work, is also a huge, often overlooked, financial drain. Strong interpersonal relationships are critical for a healthier, happier, and ultimately more profitable business.

Equipping your team with tools to recognize their own personality style and to learn what motivates them will create a more positive workplace environment that focuses on their strengths. Using the STYLE-L.I.S.T. Personal Assessment Tool, this workshop helps participants to learn more about themselves – leading to better communication skills and stronger interpersonal relationships.

Teaching your employees how to recognize their own style along with the style of their co-workers, subordinates, and superiors, will give them a better understanding of the differences between personality types.

Giving them tools to communicate effectively with each style will ensure everyone feels heard and appreciated, creating an environment of respect, camaraderie, and collaboration.

Making sure they can communicate effectively within and outside the organization will foster an environment that reduces your employee turnover and absenteeism rates and allow for a workplace where people truly enjoy spending five days a week.

Yes, going to work really can be FUN!

Have you ever hired a manager based on their perfect answers during the interview process only to discover after their three months review that they were not a good match for the job and the team after all? Have you ever started on a position that you loved at first sight only to dread Monday mornings down the road?

You are not so sure how to prevent these situations from happening, nor how to fix them when they occur. They can be explained, prevented and rectified using people’s internal drivers or Meta programs.

Meta-programs are mental shortcuts that direct your decisions, behaviours, actions and interactions with others. They are systems that control other mental processes at a higher level (Meta).

PREVENT

You spend thousands of dollars in recruitment fees to find the right candidates for your leadership roles. Nathalie Plamondon-Thomas helps narrow down the choice by conducting a Meta Program Interview during the hiring process. Depending on the role you are hiring for and the meta programs of the rest of the team, a specific set of internal drivers will be designed for the position.

IDENTIFY & RECTIFY

Meta Programs interview with the existing team to make sure they are in the right role. Initially, it was thought that Meta Programs could not be changed, that they were “hard-wired” features which varied from one person’s brain to another. But research by Robert Dilts led to the discovery that Meta Programs could, indeed, be modified, nuanced, and even replaced. Nathalie Plamondon-Thomas works one-on-one with your key team leaders or team members that need to acquire a specific mental process that would ben‑t their role.

If a leader in the organization has been back-stabbed in their previous position, they may have a harder time trusting their team now. What is a team without trust?

If a manager has experienced a personal trauma even way back in their childhood, or is currently going through a divorce, has a substance-abuse problem, has difficulties communicating with their teenage daughter or whatever is occupying their mind, they don’t leave these thoughts in the parking lot when they arrive at work.

Our past and current experiences influence our day-to-day decisions, which impacts the organization’s bottom line.

DO YOU GOT TO THE DENTIST?

Even people who brush their teeth on a regular basis, floss, rinse, etc. still need to go to the dentist a few times per year. We cannot ‑x a cavity ourselves just by brushing and flossing our teeth. The dentist has special tools to scrape all the unwanted stuff­ off­ our teeth and fill the cavities. We are not bad people because we need to go to the dentist. There are things we just cannot remove or ‑x ourselves. It is the same for our brains.

Think of Nathalie Plamondon-Thomas like a dentist for your brain. She uses specific processes to disconnect the emotional connection from the events impairing your judgement and keeping you from being your best.

Everybody needs a good clean up once in a while even if they have a perfect dental hygiene routine!
