Waste Free Kitchen

Speaker: Dana Gunders

Popular based on survey feedback!

Imagine walking out of the grocery store with 4 bags full of fresh food, dropping one, and not bothering to pick it up.

Seems crazy, but that’s essentially what most of us are doing all the time. The average American throws away over $35 each month in the form of uneaten food. Yup, the lettuce that went bad, the leftovers you never got around to eating, and the science experiment in the back of the fridge you’re hoping your husband will clean up one day—they all add up to 15 to 25 percent of the food you buy going uneaten.

In this webinar you will learn easy tips on how to reduce food waste.

You will learn (Learning Objectives)

  • Grocery shop smarter
  • Plan meals better
  • Decode expiration dates
  • Use your fridge to its full potential
  • Cook with leftover ingredients
  • Store foods properly, including specific shelf-life, storage and creative use-it-up ideas for more than 85 common foods.

Reducing food waste has never been easier or more delicious! Learn how in this webinar!

Difficult Personalities: How to Navigate Relationships with Clients, Co-Workers and Others Who May Have Borderline Personality Disorder, Narcissism, and other Challenging Personalities

Speaker Josh Dye

Popular based on survey feedback!

Do you ever feel manipulated, controlled, or lied to?

Do you serve clients, or are in any relationships with people that have intense, irrational rages that seem to come out of nowhere?

Do you feel like you are walking on eggshells to avoid confrontations or constantly upsetting someone?

If the answer is yes, then you are likely interacting with someone that may have borderline personality disorder (BPD), narcissism or other challenging personality traits.

People compare working or living with someone that has borderline personality disorder, or other personality disorders to:

Living in a pressure cooker with thin walls and a faulty safety valve.

Living in a perpetual oxymoron. It’s a seemingly endless host of contradictions.

Feeling like you are going through the spin cycle on a washing machine. The world is whirling around, and you have no idea which way is up, down or sideways.

In this training, we will explore strategies to more effectively serve and interact with people that have, or demonstrate the traits of, people with borderline personality disorder, narcissism, and other challenging personalities.

You will learn: (Learning Objectives)

  • What is going on inside a person that has a personality disorder.
  • How to identify and understand behavior that is influenced by a personality disorder.
  • How to set boundaries and communicate with someone that has a personality disorder.
  • How to personally find peace and cope with the stress of interacting with people that have a personality disorder.

By the end of this training you will have a greater understanding of how to navigate complex interactions with people that have difficult personalities!

NOTE: This training is NOT about how to medically or psychologically provide treatment for someone with a personality disorder.

This is for professionals that happen to work with people that may have a personality disorder, and are looking for strategies to better serve them, and personally cope with the impacts of these challenging and stressful interactions.

From Stigma to Strength: How to Communicate with People Whose Behaviors are Stigmatized

Speaker Josh Dye

Popular based on survey feedback!

People with addiction and substance use disorders are often blamed for their disease. This stigma discourages people from getting the help they need.

Would you want to interact with somebody who is just going to shame you?

Addiction stigma is baked into our culture. Sometimes we say something and do not realize the shame it heaps on others.

Other times we think we are helping, motivating, or simply ‘telling the truth’ when we are actually harming and re-traumatizing.

In this live webinar we will learn a better way to communicate with people that have a substance use disorder.

You will learn:

  • A brief history of the stigma of addiction.
  • Stigmatizing words people often use.
  • Alternative phrases to use instead.
  • 6 key principles of a trauma informed approach.
  • How to empower people to start making positive changes.

Speaker Brian Miller

Popular based on survey feedback!

Did you know the world’s shortest joke can be told in just two words?

It’s hard to get our ideas to spread. The real problem is that we focus too much on how great and innovative our idea is, rather than how clear and understandable it is.

But in truth, the more you know about something, the harder it is to explain it to an outsider.

That’s why to spread our ideas we need to be able to state what it is, who it’s for, and why it matters in one sentence. Yes, just one. And in this program, you’ll learn how.

In this session you’re going to learn how the greatest communicators capture attention, earn trust, and build meaningful relationships, and how you can apply the same techniques to elevate your message the next time you have something important to say.

Through magic and friendship, Brian developed self-confidence for the very first time.

Founding his business at the early age of 16, Brian worked as a professional magician while completing a dual Bachelor’s of Science in mathematics and philosophy, achieving a 4.0 in philosophy and receiving two international awards for presenting original work. He was accepted into a PhD program for Philosophy of Language, but turned it down in order to pursue a career in entertainment.

As his act evolved, so did the demand for his work. Brian developed a reputation for mixing world class entertainment with an engaging personality and the ability to adapt to any group. He began accepting invitations to entertain at exclusive private events throughout New England, such as bar/bat mitzvahs, weddings, company holiday parties, and corporate events.
