Fearless Positivity: Rethinking Stress in the Midst of Uncertainty
We all face fear, discomfort, and resistance to change, but our actions in the midst of these mindsets are what truly define us. Fearless positivity is not the absence of fear, but the audacious opportunity to move through it by focusing on what matters most. In this inspiring research-based talk, customized to address your audience's current challenges, Amy highlights leaders who have courageously chosen positivity in the midst of adversity. Leveraging learnings from positive psychology and behavioral science, she examines how negative mindsets hold us back, why some fear is actually good for us, and strategies to reframe stress to better serve us.
Digital Flourishing: Strategies for Balancing Productivity and Well-being in the Digital Era
Technology—at least in theory—is improving our productivity, efficiency, and communication. Yet the average mobile user checks their phones more than 150 times per day, and 67% of cell owners find themselves checking their phone even when they don’t notice their phone ringing or vibrating. Mindful attention is a scarce resource. As one of the world’s leading experts on the connection between happiness and technology, Amy Blankson unveils five strategies that successful individuals use to find a sense of balance between technology, productivity, and wellbeing in the Digital Age. In this talk, you will learn how to move from partial attention to full intention, how to hack your distractions to achieve maximum productivity and life satisfaction, and how to rid yourself of the tech graveyard in your office drawers to create more mental and physical space to do the things you love. By rethinking when, where, why and how we use technology, we can begin to recapture our focus, deepen engagement, and find flow in our everyday activities and relationships.
Conscious Innovation: Leveraging Mindset to Thrive in Disruption
In the midst of disruption, a positive mindset is crucial for agile and transformative leadership. Research shows that although the brain receives 11 million bits of information every second, it can only process 40 bits, which means that our ability to "see" opportunity and connect resources depends on our mindfulness in the moment, particularly in times of stress. Individuals who are able to leverage positivity have been linked with 3x more creativity, 40% more productivity, and 23% less symptoms of fatigue. In this talk, Amy will teach audiences how to use appreciative inquiry to rethink stress, reframe
circumstances, and retrain their brains to prioritize information in real-time.Creating a Habitat for Happiness: How to Make Working from Home Work for You
As more professionals find themselves working from home, new and unique challenges are emerging that threaten to diminish not just productivity, but also sanity as well.

While uncertainty and disruption may be our new norm, fear does not have to be. In this talk, Amy Blankson, working-fromhome veteran and mother of three, will share her top secrets for creating a habitat for happiness, offering actionable strategies for maintaining a positive mindset, rethinking stress, and moving forward with resilience in the midst of change.
