Keynote Speeches With Immediate Impact

Life-changing conversations on leadership and well-being.

Topic: Designing a Culture of Team Well-being

People no longer value ping pong tables and free beer in the office. They want to take the time off they deserve, to feel safe in sharing vulnerabilities, be confident financially, quality sleep, and many other factors that in previous eras may have seemed out of reach.

Recent data says 88% of job seekers say that a healthy culture at work is vital for success, and 86% of job seekers avoid companies with a bad reputation.

This highly interactive conversation will include relatable, practical, and actionable steps to ensure you and your company are living a Culture of Well-being that impacts the health of your staff and your business.

Testimonial: Ashley Hickson, Mutual of Omaha

“Mark’s unique ability to take his approach to employee well-being, adapt it perfectly to his audience, and deliver a relatable, practical, and actionable approach that we can implement right away is inspiring. We asked Mark to kick off our annual manager meeting, with more than 200 people coming to Omaha from around the country. We needed a speaker who could engage with the audience while delivering value in a short amount of time. And Mark did exactly that. So much so that teams are more mindful of building empathetic relationships, watching the number of meetings they hold or participate in, and taking time to connect and check in with one another more authentically. Overall, more than 95 percent of attendees responded with a highly favorable opinion of the talk. The team was so impressed we’ve hired Mark to host follow-up conversations to ensure we’re living a culture of well-being. We cannot recommend Mark enough for your team.”

Topic: Leading With Empathy

Recent data suggests 76 percent of people who experienced empathy from their leaders reported they were engaged, a critical factor in designing effective employee communications strategies. We’ll discuss how to build trust with employees, earn respect from executives, and design a winning culture through an empathetic leadership style. This keynote will empower leaders to use empathy to inspire their employees, teams, and executives to BELIEVE in an idea.

Testimonial: Kim Sample, PR Council

“Mark Mohammadpour firmly subscribes to the time-proven Service Profit Chain: happy and healthy people = happy and healthy clients = happy and healthy businesses. Mark captivated our community of executives with his data-driven and people-centric approach to well-being. His deep agency experience allows him to authentically relate to agency leaders and the challenges they face as they work to balance the needs of their people, their clients and their bottom lines. Partnering with Mark is an asset for any company looking for a strategic employee well-being partner to reduce turnover and help meet their business objectives.”

Topic: AI and Well-being

Attendees will learn how AI can positively impact their personal and professional well-being.

We are just scratching the surface of what generational artificial intelligence (AI) can do for our society.

But with the growth of its usage, questions come into focus on its impact on our well-being. Are we mentally prepared to handle its impact?

This highly engaging and interactive conversation examines the benefits of using AI and how we should embrace AI for our well-being.

We will discuss actionable approaches to building confidence, reducing our workload, making more personal time, and improving our mental and physical health. 

Because data shows AI cannot fully replace human creativity, we will also discuss the importance of using empathy in ideation during the strategic planning process.
