   Kathleen Passanisi's work is all about making conscious choices for the better based on new perspectives. Working from a six-dimensional wellness model, each of her presentations is carefully crafted to give participants an opportunity to see their lives in a different light, open their minds to new ways of thinking, and adapt behaviors that improve health, nourish relationships, enhance creativity, heighten the joy, and enrich quality of living

1) It's Your Life—Choose Well

Living Life by Design

More people live by default than by design.

   Good choices are the foundation of living a happier, healthier, saner life. But most people get so bogged down in the endless details of everyday life that they never stop to think about the choices they are making-and the costly results.

Life can be a pleasure and much more satisfying when you consciously choose well.

   IT'S YOUR LIFE-CHOOSE WELL is a presentation based on Kathleen Passanisi's book by the same title. It is grounded in good science and designed to get results. Participants will learn how deliberate choices:

• improve physical health and hardiness
• strengthen mental health through focused vision
• bolster emotional health with laughter and play
• enhance vocational health by turning a job into a career
• promote social health by sustaining healthy relationships
• foster spiritual health with character, ethics, and integrity
• lead to a more harmonious life

Why sleepwalk through life? Wake up to the health and joy that are your birthright.

2) Add Life to Your Balance Sheet

Invest in Your Best Asset-Your People

An environment that fosters a balanced life is second only to good workplace relationships when it comes to attracting and retaining high-performing employees.¹

   Today's workers want a full life - whether they are 25 or 65 years old. And with tough competition for talent, it is vital that companies focus on what motivates people. Salary and benefits alone are not enough. Neither is flextime, nor a forty-hour workweek. Understanding and respecting each employee's values and needs, then aligning them with the company's mission, is the vital driver to success for everyone.

People living balanced lives flourish and so do the companies that employ them.

   A sense of balance and contentment comes from using one's time, energy, and talent in ways that add meaning to life. Using powerful insights and proven techniques, ADD LIFE TO YOUR BALANCE SHEET teaches people how to do just that. Realize measurable results as participants learn to:

• achieve personal hardiness and wellbeing
• prevent burnout
• foster a supportive environment
• utilize time, energy, and talent wisely
• clarify both personal and team values and goals
• harness the power of thought and emotion
• design and live a more harmonious life
