Take A Break & Get A Grip
- Bringing Balance & Perspective To Work & Life
Recurring cycles of 'crash and burn' and daily experiences of 'blur and endure' exact a huge toll on people and organizations. Super-sized demands and a supersonic pace leave us too busy to think and too weary to change.
This approach is unhealthy, unprofitable, unsustainable, and ... unnecessary. Life and work do not have to be this way! Bypass burnout. Adopt a rhythm of renewal to revitalize your workforce one person at a time.
Key Concepts:
Reset your mindset to embrace a sustainable approach to success
Restore the rhythm of renewal to: rebuild capacity, refocus efforts, realign relationships, & recommit to purpose
Reinforce progress through accountability and reminders
Let Patricia Katz show you and your organization how to take a break and get a grip - for sanity and success.
“Speed, in and of itself, has never improved the dialogue between humans - quite the contrary could be argued, given that haste so often impedes accuracy, reflection and perspective.” — John R. McArthur
Life Balance Leadership
- Walk The Talk To Lead The Way
Life balance is not just a personal matter. It is a mainstream, bottom-line issue for leaders and organizations. Those who find ways to help others harmonize and integrate life roles reap the benefits. Their employees are more productive, less stressed, and healthier; more engaged in the organization and committed to quality service; more likely to join the organization and less likely to leave.
What do your leadership example, group norms, and corporate policies say about the depth of your commitment to balance? What would you like them to say?
This program provides tools and strategies for developing leadership practices that will build balance and reduce work-life conflict in your organization.
Key Concepts:
Key factors influencing the work-life balance experience
Impactful organizational programs and policies
Work team strategies and practices that support balance
How different generations in the workplace view this issue
How to capitalize on the power of your leadership example
“We have surrounded ourselves with time-saving technological gadgetry, only to be overwhelmed by plans that cannot be carried out, appointments that cannot be honored, schedules that cannot be fulfilled, and deadlines that cannot be met.” - Jeremy Rifkin
Encourage The Heart
- Growing People & Organizations Through Appreciation
Recognition and celebration are more than just the icing on the cake. They are vital in strengthening relationships, sustaining organizations, and maintaining the loyalty of employees, clients, and volunteers.
Effective leaders recognize its value. They know how to effectively encourage others. They make the time to follow through.
Key Concepts:
The lifelong impact of encouragement
Why appreciation matters so much to so many
Cues that call for encouragement
The do's & don'ts of recognition
Practical strategies for encouraging others and celebrating yourself
Let Patricia Katz show you and your organization how to build a more appreciative mindset and practice.
“Three billion people on the face of the earth go to bed hungry every night, but four billion people go to bed every night hungry for a simple word of encouragement and recognition.” — Cavett Robert

Hidden Value
- Finding The Meaning In Everyday Life
Unless you climbed Mount Everest as a youngster with a million dollar book deal in your backpack, you might feel that your own day to day contributions don't amount to a hill of beans. Not so.
Despite our culture's obsession with celebrity, youth, wealth and daredevil extremes ... significance and meaning are not always tied to 'larger than life' events with worldwide media coverage. Value also lives and breathes in the uncelebrated untelevised moments of everyday life. You make a difference. Your commitment, spirit, and peace of mind depend on knowing that is so.
Key Concepts:
There is value in what you do. Your daily actions matter to clients, colleagues and family - on the surface and at deeper levels, too. Do you realize the full significance of the contributions you make?
There is value in who you are. Your presence and character impact others every moment of the day. Are you aware of the outcomes of your influence in the lives of others?
There is value in where you are. Far too many moments are wasted fantasizing about greener pastures, stewing about the past, and anxiously awaiting the future. Do you know firsthand the rewards of being right here, right now?
See it! Feel it! Live It!
