• Employee Wellness Day with Doc Brown

  This fun-filled content driven “happy hour” is full of opportunities for personal and team development that can surely transform your personal life and workplace.  Doc Brown will take employees on a holistic, musical, and dancing journey of reflections and connections to stay balanced, mindful, and focused.  Doc Brown teaches that the best way to increase your mental wellness is to make it a priority.

  1. Participants will learn how to increase their wellbeing, productivity, and motivation.
  2. Participants will learn how to build mental resilience and maintain motivation.
• Lead By Example

  The mark of a great leader lies in their ability to "walk the talk."  To lead by example means to guide others through your behavior as opposed to your words.  Your intention is to inspire others to follow your example.  The opposite of leading by example would be to "say one thing and do another."  Dr. Brown humorously and insightfully demonstrates how leading by example can increase trust and team engagement.  Participants will understand how individual leaders can positively influence the behavior and attitudes of others. Today's workforce wants to see that your actions mirror what you say.

  1.  Participants will learn alignment is at the heart of being an authentic and genuine leader, by correcting inconsistencies and contractions in their behavior.

  2.  Participants will understand the ultimate purpose of leadership, which is to be the change you want to see in your organization.

   

• The Essence of “Human Leadership”

  Dr. Brown takes leaders and managers on a fun-filled and insightful journey of research best practices in the field of human leadership.  This people-centric approach to decision-making makes a world of difference to the corporation’s growth, engagement and longevity. In an AI- and machine-led future, tapping into our innate humanness and being grounded by it is more critical than ever.  Human leaders inspire commitment, lead people to achieve common goals, are strategic planners, effectively manage change, develop their employees, and are self-aware. The hallmarks of this leadership style are self-love and compassion for others.

  Learning Objectives

  1.  Leaders and managers will no longer be plagued by the deficits of self-awareness. 
   

  2.  Leaders and managers will be more open to change and more accountable their commitments.

• Putting Down What You Are Carrying...& Preparing For The Tasks At Hand!

  Our personal troubles, private challenges, and societal crises beyond our control can become baggage over time, and we risk dumping it on others.  Putting down the baggage can be scary.  It will require us to redefine who we are and what we are capable of becoming.  Unresolved issues due to the disruption of the pandemic, unforeseen setbacks, societal unrest, neglected relationships, career failures, illnesses, or huge financial loss may lead to over indulgent and/or other unhealthy behavior in order to mask underlying issues. Our future success depends on our willingness to unpack and put down our baggage.  Join Dr. Brown on this remarkable journey of “letting it go and emptying it out.”

  2. Learn that acknowledgement is crucial to unloading these issues and beginning the journey onward.

  Your attitude and work ethic are the two things you have total control over.  You have the power to decide how you are going to see the world -- and how the world is likely to see you.  You can allow your attitude to support you, or defeat you.  Before you ever say a word, your attitude speaks on your behalf.  Come along on this flight with Dr. Brown to really see how "Your attitude affects your cruising altitude."

• Don't Judge A Book By Its Cover! Creating Safe Spaces & Promoting Psychological Safety for ALL!

  Dr. Adolph Brown has studied psychological safety, the empathy gap, and stereotype threat for over three decades and has helped thousands of corporate and education professionals worldwide become more aware of the unconscious attribution of particular qualities to a member of a certain social group.  Dr. Brown does not offer a training per se, as much as he offers a philosophy and an awareness to embrace when dealing with others.  Dr. Brown acknowledges under certain conditions ALL of us have automatic associations that can influence our behavior - making individuals respond in biased ways even when they are not explicitly prejudiced.  This is often referred to as "racism without racists."

• Closing the Empathy Gap™ From Dr. Brown's Groundbreaking Research

  Closing the Empathy Gap™ is apart of Dr. Brown's groundbreaking research stemming from his doctoral dissertation  https://bit.ly/38lTFKc  resulting in Dr. Brown providing successful seminars to countless law enforcement agencies, businesses, and educational institutions around the world.  Dr. Brown coined the terms "The Empathy Gap™" as the space that exist between individuals where there's not a bridge of understanding and compassion.  Empathy is the foundation for which human beings connect.  When the connection is absent, anything built up this divided foundation, will also have a divide - health, wealth, justice, achievement, equity, etc.  Dr. Brown's master theses and doctoral dissertation helped him set the stage for his life's work of Spreading Love, Light and Insight while bridging the various divides built upon the Empathy Gap™.  This is an inspiring and informing journey of self-reflection and if needed, self-correction.
