Today I’m going to share some thoughts on what your workplace needs to do for employee mental wellness when reopening during the pandemic.

In fact, in this video, I’m going to break down some of the biggest concerns that companies are facing with employee mental health as they reopen and some of the most important things to consider.

With that, here’s a quick overview of what’s in the video:

When it comes to workplace mental health and emotional wellness right now, people are all across the spectrum. People struggled pre-coronavirus and now there are even more mental health challenges facing the workforce.

Everyone has experienced trauma at this point and there are different levels of anxiety. Some people believe everyone should be wearing face masks. Others believe it’s unnecessary. Some are ready for the world to reopen and others think we need to be waiting longer.

Here’s the thing—there is no right or wrong in this situation. We’re all figuring it out as we go. People have experienced loss. Loss of loved ones, income, social life, and being in the world. Everyone has a unique situation. Keeping this in mind can make all the difference as you have conversations with those around you.

And companies have the opportunity to move forward while creating a culture that supports employees. One way to do this is by focusing on workplace mental health and wellness.

In short, this video will show you actionable ways to support your employees during the reopening phase in 2020.

Today you’re going to get a behind the scenes look at me working with my speaking coach, Paul Kreiter, to work on the conclusion of my mental health keynote presentation.

In fact, in this video, you’ll hear the exact advice that he gives me on how to finish my mental health keynote presentations in a powerful way to leave my audience feeling inspired.

With that, here’s a quick overview of what’s in the video:

The conclusion of my mental health presentations has always been a bit of a struggle for me. I want to leave my audience inspired and motivated to take action.

He also addresses the different types of conclusions that you can use based on your audience and their expectations for the presentation. Knowing this helps you find the perfect combination of ingredients to end your presentation strong.

As you’ll see, this is the first time I’ve been really excited about the conclusion of my presentations.

I believe that the platform of being professional mental health and the motivational speaker comes with great responsibility. That’s why I believe it’s important to always be improving my presentation skills.

I had the chance to sit down with Paul Kreiter, a professional speaking coach, and learn public speaking tips to help improve a few areas of my presentation that I thought could use a little work. In the end, this makes me a better communicator.

To help those of you that want to learn how to be a public speaker, I recorded several of the sessions for your benefit.

Today you’re going to get a behind the scenes look at me working with my speaking coach, Paul Kreiter. If you want to know how to become a public speaker, this series is for you!

In fact, in this video, Paul shares the importance of focusing on the details when creating content for my mental health presentations.

With that, here’s a quick overview of what’s in the video:

With the new presentation tips that I’ve learned from Paul, I want to start rewriting my speech. However, in the midst of moving things around and repurposing my content, Paul stresses the importance of focusing on the details in order to be more effective.

You’ll get to hear the “peanut butter and jelly sandwich” analogy that Paul uses to school me on what happens if you don’t include the small, important details. As you’ll hear, intentional details completely transform a story.

In short, this video will show you actionable ways that you can improve the opening on your presentations in 2020.

In fact, in this video, Paul shares his “Building a Sandwich” approach to creating a presentation.

With that, here’s a quick overview of what’s in the video:

As a mental health keynote speaker, I have been delivering presentations for years. However, I’ve started to feel disconnected from a few parts of my presentations and want to find a way to create more flow throughout the presentation.

Paul shared with me some valuable presentation tips. He uses an approach called “Building the Sandwich”. This helps you understand the importance of each layer of your presentation and how they work together to leave your audience satisfied.

As a public speaker, you want to build your sandwich with your audience in mind.

In short, this video will show you important things to consider as you begin to create your presentation or are in the process of reworking your content in 2020.

https://www.mikeveny.com/uncertainty-mini-course Uncertain times like the coronavirus pandemic can be overwhelming for anyone. Anxiety increases. New stresses seem to arise daily And, social distancing highlights the loneliness that you may be feeling.

It’s a lot to handle if you don’t have the tools to help you through. That’s why I went to work at the start of the COVID-19 pandemic creating an online course called How to Find Peace in Times of Uncertainty.

As a person that’s lived with mental health challenges like anxiety, depression, and obsessive compulsive disorder, I’ve accumulated skills and resources over the years to help me deal with difficult emotions. And, I want to share those with you.

The goal of this course is to help you maintain your emotional wellness and deal with the difficult emotions that come with uncertain times. In the course you’ll learn:

* Practical ways to reduce stress while living in the unknown
* Simple and effective ways to overcome anxiety
* What you can do to combat loneliness while practicing social distancing
* Which mental health resources are available for you to access

Together we’ll get through these uncertain times. And together we’ll be emotionally and mentally well.
Start your journey to emotional wellness by enrolling today.

Here’s a sample of one of the lessons from my course from the Stress Relief section. If you’re interested in learning more about the course, I invite you to email me at mike@mikeveny.com. #stress #anxiety #coronavirus
