Designing A Back to Work Normal Sept 2021 for Mental Health Professionals Ottawa
It was our pleasure to have Raelene kick off our MHPO workshop season for 2021-2022 with her excellent presentation on Designing a Back to Work Normal. Raelene shared with us the main challenges for those re-entering the workplace and methods to resolve them- from the lens of both our clients and ourselves.
She identified a key theme- that the uncertainty created by the pandemic has activated a tremendous amount of anxiety and fear, including the fear of conflict with colleagues and superiors at the office.
She reminded us of the power of compassion and how it connects us. She advised us all to be flexible, assume a collaborative approach, a WE versus ME first stance, to assume that everyone is doing their best, to be kind, practice empathy, and accentuate the positive perspective which was a powerful reminder of how we can influence ourselves and others to achieve a pleasant and effective work environment. She reminded us to see each person as one with their own individual personalities and personal issues as well as ways of being, and that when we see that we are all in this together, we do better.
Raelene covered concrete steps to reduce stress, including preparing oneself emotionally, spiritually, physically, and mentally, limiting the amount of decision making by strategizing ahead, and dealing with children and family members on a host of topics.
I so appreciated Raelene’s presentation. She was well prepared, knowledgeable, organized and enthusiastic, and provided us with a wealth of ideas for assisting both our clients and ourselves in returning to the workplace. In addition to her own expertise, she was flexible and made space for us to ask questions throughout her talk, and engage in sharing our experiences, which allowed for the audience to connect with her and each other. I will be putting this information to use in sessions with clients, and for myself. I highly recommend Raelene as a speaker.
-Marian Meade Vice-President Mental Health Professionals Ottawa
I had the pleasure of being in the audience of entrepreneurs when Raelene was speaking. Her message to entrepreneurs drew on her personal journey to motivate the group. She tied her personal journey into the leadership points that she was making. The result was a very powerful message that was delivered in a memorable way.
-John Lapore-Digital Marketing Strategist
Raelene is a truly gifted individual who combines her experience as an entrepreneur, author, and speaker into an unforgettable experience. Her strength is in her ability to move people to act and achieve their personal best. As a coach and mentor, Raelene earns my highest recommendation.
-Brandon M. Downs-External Review, Strategic Policy Branch Canada Border Services Agency
I had met Raelene at an event in Ottawa, Canada. She happened to be one of the speakers for the evening. I must say I absolutely loved hearing her speak, her story spoke to me on a personal level. She's witty, engaging, and speaks from the heart.
-Laura Bolton-Carefor Health & Community Services
This review was long overdue, Raelene hosted an incredible workshop called Surviving to Thriving. It was the first step towards my personal transformation. She brought much insight forward and gave me the push I needed. Thank you!
