Keynotes

Be Your Own Cheerleader: Embracing Self-Advocacy in the Workplace

The success of any organization rests squarely on the strength of its people. Unfortunately, many professionals struggle to speak up and advocate for themselves in the workplace. 

When employees feel unheard and overlooked, it leads to resentment and disengagement, stifling innovation and productivity. 

In “Be Your Own Cheerleader”, Neelu leverages a multi-dimensional approach to leadership and wellness that inspires audiences to own their value while equipping them with practical self-advocacy strategies.

In this session, audience will:

  • Identify actionable techniques to speak up and be heard

  • Learn strategies to have difficult conversations that unlock potential instead of locking in negativity

  • Redirect thinking from invalidating self-talk to positive encouragement 

  • Articulate their value and impact to ensure contributions are recognized and appreciated

Be Your Own Cheerleader: the Power of Self-Advocacy for Underrepresented Voices 

Perfect for women’s conferences and DEI events, "Be Your Own Cheerleader: the Power of Self-Advocacy for Underrepresented Voices" is a specialized extension of Neelu’s core "Be Your Own Cheerleader" program, with a focus on diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI). 

Most DEI programs aim to reduce cultural biases, but this keynote goes a step further. It offers practical remedies for the impacts these biases have already caused. This program provides audiences a comprehensive toolkit designed to help individuals from underrepresented backgrounds voice their ideas confidently, contribute effectively, and advance their careers.

This session:

  • Equips participants with the skills necessary for robust self-advocacy

  • Specifically addresses the unique challenges faced by marginalized or underrepresented groups in the workplace

  • Fosters a more inclusive, equitable, and dynamic workplace where every voice is heard and valued

  • Embraces the foundational concepts of self-advocacy and personal empowerment

Revitalizing Resilience: A Journey Through Proven Healing Practices for Managing Burnout

Burnout, stress, and overwhelm are sad facts of modern life, affecting not just personal well-being, but also organizational performance, engagement, and retention.

Leveraging the principals of Ayurveda—an ancient Indian healing system based on the belief that health and wellness depend on a delicate balance between the mind, body, and spirit—this interactive program takes a holistic approach to overcoming stress and burnout in the workplace.

Revitalizing Resilience is an essential investment for organizations looking to nurture their top talent and create a healthier, more productive workplace.

In this session, audience will:

  • Develop awareness of burnout before it hits

  • Empower participants to structure their days around work and play, ensuring both are achieved well

  • Provide the skills needed to cope with the stresses and strains of everyday life
