Education Roundtable Talks - Macpherson

Sponsored by: Equitable

With an alarming number of reported cases of stress, anxiety, and depression in the current workplace, mindfulness is becoming a very important practice to build resiliency and balance.

In his presentation, Keith Macpherson offers an engaging and interactive experience to assist with making sense of mindfulness and offers benefits and tangible strategies to integrate the practice into daily life. Known for his ability to entertain, educate, and evoke transformation, Keith will leave an audience feeling renewed and inspired to rise up to a greater vision for themselves and their company.

In the keynote, Keith will unlock 3 key principles in the practice of mindfulness including Inner visioning, exposing the saboteur (limiting beliefs), and opening to a growth mindset (which invokes balance and resilience). The presentation assists with moving participants from a reactive mindset that is fueled by limiting beliefs to a creative framework that expands leadership, communication, resiliency, and balance.

  • Strategies to assist and counter stress and anxiety and provide more inner balance.
  • Strategies to assist our students with countering depression and anxiety.
  • New strategies to shift reactive beliefs and stimulate creativity.
  • Relaxation practices to re-focus the mind and build awareness.
  • Raise awareness of limiting beliefs and tools to re-frame them.
  • A greater set of tools and language to encourage team building and a more positive mindset.
