How can you satisfy different types of clients with your resilience training workshops and seminars?

Michael: Well, serving associations, corporations, and colleges with a top resilience workshop and training in the workplace requires diversity in what you offer in terms of communication because these institutions have a different climate when solving their issues. For example, recently, I delivered a program for a research center. They exclusively required transformational presentations to embrace a necessary change. Working with schools can be very different in terms of educational aspects compared to working on the well-being of people at a conference and in the corporate world. Some corporate managers told me they find the word ‘transformational’ too spiritual in their context.

Regardless, I had my first resilience client in the association industry. After the first delivered training, I continued focusing on associations. This decision was an incredible learning experience because you communicate resilience differently to college students than to corporate managers. Resilience in the corporate world often means a fast recovery after long hours and stressful processes to achieve a favorable climate. Resilience at colleges often means students need support in recovering quickly from stress due to new surroundings away from home and other aspects of college life.

What kind of resilience trainers do associations look for?

Michael: Some associations require specialty trainers, for example, training their IT crowd on resilience or other topics which could relate to the industry the association is serving. I started focusing on associations that need trainers who help them transform their working processes to motivate their staff, deliver positive and transformational presentations, and support their leadership team improvement—all achieved by boosting the resilience of their staff. My first bookings were exclusive to the leadership team of an association. They were experiencing high-stress levels due to their intense government relationships. 

What are the main elements of resilience training workshops and seminars in the workplace nowadays?

Michael: I currently serve associations with many resilience aspects. Here are a few of them:

1. Positive thought control: “It will come to an end.” “It is temporary.” “It’s not only my fault.”
2. Activating a sense of humor!
3. Advanced networking
4. Future planning: focusing on lifelong dreams
5. The connection between stress, burnout, and lack of resilience

Is the training part of your corporate resilience program, too?

Michael: Yes, corporations can book these resilience training workshops components too. But the focus might be different. Many of my corporate bookings are related to the unique requirements of the corporate world. Successful sales expectations and high work pressure are common why corporations book me to support their workforce in stress management and resilience training. My background in the Trade Up Around the World international adventure and TV docu-series of the same title taught me to be a number one resilience trainer because years ago, in my first career, I had to turn a bitten apple into a house in Hawaii. 

This one-year adventure challenge, as part of a TV show, was so intense that I had to learn particular resilience strategies to barter for bigger and better things around the world. This fierce background has taught me that our well-being is our most crucial mental capital, and we should treat it well!

Often my three pillars of stress management training, mindfulness seminars, and motivational workshops are booked as follow-ups when corporations in the United States, Canada, and other international countries reach out to me trying to find a trainer to support their staff. 

How do you serve colleges as a resilience motivational speaker?

Michael: The college scene is very different. My clients are college students aged 18-22 with varying needs than corporate staff and managers. My college resilience training builds up on my adventure challenge. The college students love to hear how I found enough resilience to travel the world for free in my former TV career. I lecture college students on recovering fast after a crisis or a stressful situation. 

We usually turn the training into a challenge. Previously, it might have taken a student one month to recover after an intense problem. How can we reduce this to a two-week recovery period if the same happens again? My resilience workshop and training in the workplace look very different in a college setting than in a corporation. I often do fieldwork with students and put all of us in stressful situations on purpose to practice resiliency strategies.

Several keynotes based on my adventures form part of my resilience workshops in the workplace:

• How to Travel the World for Free
• The Resilient Mindset
• Fall – But Get Up & Go

These three programs have brought me to many major colleges and universities around the United States.

When do clients book your keynotes, and when do they prefer your resilience training workshops/seminars?

Michael: This depends on the client’s needs. A resilience trainer is often booked for a day or two to support the change management of the employees in terms of stress and resilience. A keynote speaker is often secured to inspire the crowd and motivate everyone to start the work themselves.

My other seminar topics for corporations and associations are as follows:

1. Change Management
2. Stress Management
3. Conflict Management
4. Mindfulness
5. Self and Time Management
6. Procrastination
7. Team Motivation

A majority of topics connect to managing a particular issue. A seminar and workshop trainer addresses this issue and helps the workforce receive the right strategies to overcome these obstacles. Many of my seminars contain interactive elements, a keynote at the beginning, specific training tools, group discussions, and many more components.

 It’s essential to enable your workshop participants to improve on a particular subject and to feel comfortable opening up about weaknesses in front of others attending the seminar. You are deemed a good trainer if you can demonstrate a trustworthy attitude. I hope to help your workforce better understand with my programs.

Regards,

Michael
