Let's Talk Burnout!
My name is Cait and I love sharing empowering, relatable stories about Burnout (with laugh-out-loud funny REAL LIFE examples) that inspire your employees/audience to take action! From corporate workshops, to keynotes, to podcast appearances, I'm ready to serve up a dose of burnout recovery for you and your team!

KEYNOTE - Resentment Is Your Superpower
Do you want 5% more energy by the end of the hour? This workshop will show you how to get it. In a world obsessed with positive thinking, we've left behind some of our most powerful resources and lost connection with how to use them. Resentment is Your Superpower allows participants to gain an entirely new understanding of 'negative' emotions, energy management, boundaries, and what getting your spark back really entails. It is empowering, inspiring, and Cait’s most requested workshop. This one promises laughter and fun!

Takeaways:
🦸 Use resentment as a guide for boundary building
🦸 Ask the right questions to transform resentment
🦸 Communicate your boundaries and emotions safely

This talk is great for women's leadership groups and ERG's for women who are tired of being told to be more grateful, more positive, and more soft. Handouts available for review.

At the end of this workshop, you'll be able to use B.R.A.T. to create clear, kind, and concise boundaries that are designed to help empower other people into action and save YOU precious energy. You will come away with a deeper understanding of what how intrapersonal boundaries are represented on a scale researchers call the Integration Segmentation continuum and a set of tools that will allow you to create both internal and external boundaries while still embracing generosity and a community spirit!
