  Program Title:  Beyond Holiday Stress - A Strategic Approach to Sustainable Leadership and Wellbeing
  
  

  When pressure is high and time is short, leadership effectiveness becomes the ultimate competitive edge. Yet during the holidays, even the most capable leaders can get caught in the cycle of urgency, overcommitment, and exhaustion. In this timely session, leadership speaker and peak performance coach Kelli Risse shares her proven Succeed with Ease framework to help leaders move from reactive to strategic, maintaining focus, energy, and effectiveness no matter how busy the season gets. You will discover actionable strategies to reduce stress, refocus attention, and create sustainable success for yourself, your team, and your organization long after the holidays end.

  You will learn how to:

  • Recognize the hidden patterns that create unnecessary stress during the holidays and beyond
  • Apply the four pillars of the Succeed with Ease framework for sustainable leadership and success
  • Use practical tools and strategies to stay grounded, focused, and effective during high-pressure seasons
