The Orca Effect® - activate and appreciate the leadership potential in every woman

Thea's International Women's Day Keynote - The Orca Effect®
•      Activate and appreciate the leadership potential of women at all levels of your organisation.
• Retain your experienced female talent, especially leaders, so you don’t lose valuable corporate knowledge.

Orcas and humans are the only two species on the planet whose females experience menopause, then live for another 30 years or so. What could be the advantage of this rare evolutionary trait?  Once freed from the responsibilities of creating a family, the post-menopausal females start leading, because their accumulated knowledge and wisdom is critical for the survival and success of their pods.

• With a fresh perspective on women’s natural cycles, all female staff can discover their untapped leadership potential.  
• With a supportive workplace, your experienced women can also step into their true authority and help lead your pod.

That’s The Orca Effect® this Keynote Offers

Key takeaways for your audience:

O: Open up the conversation
Learn how to foster open, respectful conversations about women’s health to enhance engagement and break the taboo.  Silence isolates. Naming it liberates.

R: Reframe Menopause  
When women gain an understanding of the true purpose of menopause and midlife, everything changes.  Self-concept and confidence soar, leaving participants invigorated to maximise the next chapter of their lives.  
A new frame, bigger game.  

C: Change it Up
You don’t have to work the way you always  have. As our bodies and psyche’s change over the life cycle, so too can the way we work.  Discover simple ways to adapt and support yourself and your work performance through any life transition including menopause.  Small tweaks prevent big breaks. Adapt the work — whatever it takes.

A: Activate and Appreciate! The symbol of the post-menopausal Orca matriarch activates women at all life stages to discover their killer leadership traits and step into their true authority, whatever their formal title. We create a buzz as the audience joins in naming and claiming the Orca within and appreciating the Orcas in their midst.  

Thea also  has keynotes related to: Body Intelligence, The New Frontier in Women's Health and Wellbeing for Female Leaders. She is also able to tailor a keynote for your event.
