SIGNATURE SPEAKING ENGAGEMENTS

Harnessing the Power of Words through Neurolinguistics

Neurolinguistics is a science that straddles neuroscience and linguistics, and studies the power of our language in our brains.

In this keynote, we’ll review which words and phrases help us band together and which can lead us to stray apart. We review the parts of speech and play a game to see how changing only the subject can soften or harden a sentence, along with other interactive audience games.

Key Takeaways: 

  • The specific words we use come loaded with context, nuance, implicit, and explicit meanings.

  • Different languages and cultures with distinct values utilize and value specific words and phrases.

  • Want to change your perspective? Update how you think and speak about a concept.

Create an Inclusive Space: What Your Employees Really Want

We all know the scientific benefits of inclusivity, including psychological safety and a comfortable, secure culture made of people who support each other… but are you happy with the inclusivity of your space?

After years of volunteering, observing, shadowing, teaching, and conversing with monolingual and bilingual teams, there are key cultural differences that this keynote brings to light.

Key Takeaways: 

  • A focus on individualism isn’t as powerful as a team-based focus.

  • In order to foster a culture of physical and psychological safety, it’s the little actions that mean the most.

  • Culture change includes uncomfortable conversations… we’ll review a 4-step way to get through and shift the focus.

Designing and Improving a Learning Management System

Learning Management Systems are all the rage, for good reason - finally, something to collect all the training material in one place, with pretty reports and trackability. It all sounds good… but who actually puts it together?

Every system is only as good as the strategy behind it, and this keynote delivers crucial tips and significant milestones from someone who’s been - and seen it all.

Key Takeaways: 

  • Technology is only part of the solution: people and process are the two missing parts.

  • Having a core team to maintain and improve the system at dedicated points will help spread the workload.

  • How to create buy-in from everyone at the company: from the receptionist to the C-Suite.

  • “Your style is delightful; you’re very engaging!”

    Andrea

  • “My favorite part was how knowledgeable you are about learning Spanish as a second language and the variety in the types of resources you provided me with. ”

    Eleanora

  • “Megan is the warmest and most welcoming human. When learning a new language, it can be very intimidating. She makes the space comforting and supportive. Highly recommend her and all she does!"
