Pushed to the Limit: The Real Cost that Busyness is having on us Personally and Professionally
Busy – The New Badge Of Honor is Costing Canadian and US Companies over $188 Billion Dollars per Year in Stress-Related Illnesses and Accidents.
We’re all just so “BUSY” these days. “Slammed.” “Buried,” in fact. Desperately trying to “keep our heads above water.” “Up to my ass in alligators.” While all of these are common responses to “How are you?” Oh, and if you don’t want to say any of the above, “fine,” is usually the runner-up response. It’s a constant exchange, even a one-up attempt of just how much we have on our plates when we communicate to others about our work and home lives.
Breaking Busy – Why busyness, our new norm, is making us sick, depleting our energy and literally causing accidents in our workplaces and our homes.
In Linda’s presentation you will learn:
- What got us here.
- What busy is doing to us.
- How we can strategically step off the Busy Treadmill.
In more detail:
- Change, what’s really getting in the way of you moving forward? Change has never been this painless!
- Clutter, how we sabotage our success with terminal piles!
- Fatigue, tools to re-energize and re-engage.
- Clarity, get down to what you really want, and become more accountable (No is the new Black).
- Laughter, this may be the best laugh you have had in a long time.

“One of my biggest accomplishments in life was to learn to laugh and laugh with others. The humour in your presentation reinforces my belief in laughter!"
Chrysalis Staff Development Day

On behalf of the Entrepreneur’s Organization (EO Edmonton and the EO Canadian Conference 2017), we wanted to say a heartfelt thank you to Linda for coming to our conference, and knocking it out of the park! Linda’s presentation was energetic, funny, down-to-earth, and amazingly inline with our attendees. It’s humbling to be able to have someone with her knowledge and experience be able to give back to a group of high performers in such a way that makes them even more motivated to do what they do. She’d be a welcome guest at any time in the future at EO Edmonton.

“Your speech was dynamic and energizing and even though you were near the end of a busy three days, you got everyone listening and actively involved in what you were saying. It was fantastic and I can’t tell you how much we appreciate you helping us finish our Conference on such a high note. After hearing you speak it is obvious why you are in such high demand as a keynote speaker. Thanks so much for helping us make our conference a huge success."

“As a professional, I have never attended such an energizing, humorous and just gratifying session. It is usually, long dragged out days of receiving information about some new treatment, research pertaining to practice, dreaded new policies, etc….all good stuff for sure. But never have I LEARNED more that will, I believe, help me be that better nurse. As we say here on the rock, you were wicked!”
Atlantic Healthcare Association

“The audience was engaged in Linda’s presentation immediately. Following the presentation, this is what some of the attendees had to say. ‘Absolutely awesome speaker. What a positive attitude and view of the world. Thank-you. I laughed until I cried, then laughed again! Excellent speaker.’ We recommend Linda and she was a delight to work with."
