LIFE BALANCE WORKSHOPS & KEYNOTES
Most Australian employees say they struggle
achieving work life balance. Long hours and regular absences from home
often have a negative impact on health and wellbeing. Personal
relationships suffer and employees often report elevated stress levels
resulting in higher levels of absenteeism, staff turnover and decreased
productivity.
Kate James presents a series of work life balance seminars and keynotes
designed to assist you and your staff in achieving work life balance.
Her target audience is 25 to 40 year old professionals working within
forward thinking organisations who are already taking the work life
balance conversation seriously.
WORK LIFE BALANCE WORKSHOPS
Kate revives participants' interest in pursuing
both personal and professional satisfaction. Through activities and
discussion that focus on the individual, she will encourage your
employees to open the door on the possibility that work life balance
can be significantly improved by making small, achievable changes.
The following workshops are designed to help your team achieve their
own version of work life balance. Format is half day, with ideal group
size being between 10 and 20 participants.
'Whether speaking one on one with clients or
addressing large audiences, Kate speaks eloquently and with warmth,
bringing simplicity to some of life’s most daunting
questions. Earlier this year, Kate addressed a Public Relations
Institute of Australia event on the subject of career rejuvenation.
Nearly six months later, I still have total recall of her main message
which I have shared enthusiastically with friends and colleagues alike.
Her personal reflections, interspersed with the wisdom of professional
practice as a career coach were delivered in a way that the audience
related to easily, enabling us to implement real change in our lives.'

‘Kate, just a note to say a big thank
you for the talk last night. The feedback was very positive and I think
that we all took something away from it. Your style is great, with just
the right balance of relaxed delivery without diminishing the
importance of the material, and engaged the group throughout. I hope we
can work together in the future.’

KEYNOTES
Kate speaks to women's groups about a range of
topics designed to improve work life balance and to inspire women to
follow their dreams (as she has done).
“Thank you for a
very interesting and informative session you conducted at
CitiPower/Powercor today. Work life balance sometimes seems a term that
is quite hard to define, but you prompted lots of thought-starters for
me. One thing I found vital - recognition that the balance can and does
change frequently, depending on issues that are happening in either my
work or private life. I hadn't truly realised that before now. Thank
you for putting so much of yourself into the presentation - it makes it
so much more interesting.”
