Clare will show you how.

KEYNOTE SPEAKER
“A tour bus is a petri dish of human behaviour, and is the best way to get to know exactly how to work with all different types of people”
How do you go from being an industry trainer and leader across Europe for Contiki Holidays to being one of the most sought after keynote speakers and professional trainers in Australia and the Asia Pacific? That is the question asked often of Mark and the answer he says is simple, it is all about understanding people. Understanding how they behave, think and make the choices they do, both professionally and personally.
As an experienced motivational keynote speaker it’s this understanding that has seen Mark hold senior and strategic leadership development roles for major global players across the Asia Pacific and Europe and led to him to being invited to work on projects design and implement sales strategies and bespoke methodologies for billion-dollar sales teams across the globe. Add to that some serious hard work and that is how in twenty years Mark has moved from connecting with people in Europe to connecting with people in their own lives, all as a guest speaker and trainer.

MANAGING WORKPLACE ANXIETY IN 60 MINUTES!
Thursday 23 June 2022
2.00pm AEST (1.30pm SA & NT, and 12 noon WA)
TARGET GROUP
SUMMARY
Anxiety and stress are unavoidable in the workplace, as we cross paths with some many different behaviours.
What we can do is manage our anxiety with some useful techniques, such as, :
Peter Holtmann will show you how to:
o Deal with uncertainty by knowing how to manage the event and not the emotion of it;
o Balance your workload to allow sufficient time in a day to regain energy and build stamina;
o Manage perfectionism—the biggest enemy of workplace productivity, it’s not realistic to be 100 percent, 100% of the time;
WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT
For leaders it’s important to practice and demonstrate empathy in the workplace; which is different to sympathy and can be practiced. Listen to Peter Holtmann as he discusses the following:
Ensuring staff feel valued and accepted through the use of challenge, support and recognition;
Promote confidence by leading with gratitude;
Build connection between team members and other teams;
Ensuring that everyone understands that its ok to not be “OK” at times and to seek out support; and
To ensure the workplace detracts from value-less opinions and deals with facts.
Given so many workplaces are work in hybrid conditions the ability to keep workers focussed, positive and constructive requires these human-centred skills.
