Overview of Jo's session
Now more than ever, we are called to be ready for high impact situations every. Single day.
Yet, when we are faced with incredible uncertainty, we will experience pressure and stress differently.
The answer in the past has been do more. See more clients, do more marketing, stay up later, exchange time with family to get reports written, get another qualification…
However, the DO MORE approach only feeds the beast.
In this session, I will share with you how we can apprehend the beast of uncertainty by embracing 3 foundational components of being fit for purpose.
Then we are ready for high impact situations.

Overview of Amy's session
The brain and the complicated words we use in the science world to talk about it make it difficult to really dig into its true potential. It sounds so intimidating. What the heck is a Reticular Activating System anyway? We’re going to talk all about the “RAS” in this session, and a lot more! And you’re going to learn a new way of understanding just how to use your brain to maximize your focus, increase your work performance and make positive and - probably much needed - changes in habits! Just by using your own brain to its fullest potential!
The 3 key takeaways from this powerful interview are:
- Learn how your brain really works and how to maximize your energy, focus and concentration.
- Practice research-based strategies designed to help you increase your happiness and work performance.
- Synthesize brain knowledge to understand how to control your thoughts and change your habits.

Who is Jill Johnson Young?
Jill Johnson-Young, wears a number of hats. She is the co-founder of Central Counselling services in California, is a prolific author, having published 5 books, 3 of them for children, and is an international speaker on all things dying, death and Dementia - some of the least sexy subjects currently known to humankind.
Her career has included more than a decade with hospice as a medical social worker and as director of social workers, chaplains and grief staff.
Jill has been widowed twice, with children, and is married to a funeral director. She is known as an interactive, humorous, and real presenter who makes a difference in the approach to dying, death and dementia for anyone who attends her presentations.
Overview of Jill's session
Our practices need us to be better equipped to deal with grief and loss now.
There is simply too much around us to continue referring grief clients out - and we as clinicians need to prepare to practice as we cope with our own losses.
Health care as an industry is simply ill equipped to deal with the issues that dying, death and grief result in. And a big part of this problem is that health professionals do not want to address their own knowledge and skills deficit in their area and would prefer to simply refer to someone else.
To stay relevant and useful, we must get better at dying death and grief.
This session will help you future proof your practice in a semi-post-pandemic world. (And it will address caring for your staff in the face of losses - an absolute necessity in all of our futures.)

Overview of Tacha's session
If we as health professionals do not get skilled at addressing chronic health conditions, we will be ignoring the needs of more than 50% of the adult population... that’s half of your caseload.
We actually need to get GOOD at this!
In this presentation I will share current misconceptions, barriers, social justice issues and growth opportunities that all health professionals must address to serve the immediate needs and prepare for the future.
To be fit for purpose, currently and in the future, health professionals must be able to understand the connections between chronic illness, physical pain and emotional suffering through a trauma-informed and integrative whole person perspective.
I will share how to easily increase your awareness of the important components, screen and assess, and how to properly address chronic illness and pain without spending a ton of money and time to learn every different modality or referring out.
As clinicians and practice owners, if we do not become adept at properly addressing chronic health issues within ourselves, our clients and our clinicians, we will significantly lose out on future service, retention and growth opportunities. This presentation will help you develop an actionable path forward.

Who is Debi Jenkins Frankle?
Debi is a self-proclaimed grief nerd. She has known a lot of dead people over her lifetime, experienced many other life-changing losses (including a chronic illness that frankly sucks many days), is trained in grief counseling (in fact, she still goes to training herself!), and has been a grief skills trainer over the last 20+ years and writes long run-on sentences, much to her high school English teacher’s dismay.
Debi lives in Los Angeles where she can frequently be found with dirt under her fingernails while she proudly carries on her family’s tradition of amateur gardening. This year she is obsessed with growing brilliantly colored vegetables (think purple sugar snap peas, purple broccoli, and orange cauliflower!) to complement whatever meat her husband is cooking on the smoker every weekend.
Overview of Debi's session
If you've been a health professional in the last 2-3 years, then there is a strong chance that you have experienced significant grief. And when grief is left unaddressed, clinicians have a greater risk of burning out.
Burnout for health professionals was experienced in epidemic proportions prior to the pandemic. And clinicians the world over just did what they always do - they dug deep and served.
However, it's time to find the grief beneath the burn out. By learning how to recognise when grief is turning up for you, you will be a more engaged, thriving clinician who is able to stay relevant and serve your clients with genuine compassion and empathy.

The Power of H U M A N: The Impact of Vicarious Trauma and Resilience Strategies
2020 was a monumental year of global and national challenges.
As health professionals, we are challenged to support our clients, students, and schools while enduring the challenges ourselves.
We were not only challenged by the pandemic and events but by the diverse and often polarizing reactions to the events.
We held and continue to hold space for others, their struggles, and their feelings, regardless of our personal journey.
We are trained to ethically bracket, have boundaries, and set our own experiences aside, but 2020 and beyond has collectively stretched these skills.
In this presentation, we discuss the impact of being thrust into a journey of change including neuropsychology, resistance, story, ethical concerns, burnout, resilience, and unpack the Power of H U M A N.

Who is Kristin Martinez?
Kristin Martinez is the President and CEO of PAX Therapy and Family Services and Kristin Martinez Consulting.
Kristin started her entrepreneurial career in 2015 with a small couch in someone else’s office. She has grown that couch into 12 offices and a 7-figure revenue practice.
Why? Kristin experienced the pain of being overworked, overwhelmed, and overburdened by the community mental health practices where she worked. She wanted to create a space for therapists and staff where they would feel appreciated, see their strengths, and know that they are far more than a number on a P&L.
Kristin has built a wealth creation process that depends on the areas of authentic leadership, person-centered management, staff economics, and business diversification and development.
Kristin’s 7 figure group practice is paving a new path to wealth creation not just for the owners of companies, but for the staff that works in them as well.
Kristin attributes her success to the primary foundation of authentic leadership. Her theory and process of developing a leadership style authentic to the self are based on the humanistic, existential, and systemic theories of psychology and healing.
She has taken over a decade of experience in healing the mind and transformed it into business healing and transformation.
Overview of Kristin's session
Many health professionals who assume a level of leadership such as business ownership often have shame-based beliefs relating to leadership, management and being the boss.
These unhelpful beliefs then cause us to build unhelpful patterns of relating that alienate our staff, and we end up creating the very type of workplace that we were so desperate to avoid.
The emerging clinicians graduating today, need authentic leaders who are self-aware, congruent, and able to lead from a place of service.
In this content-rich session, Kristen will transform the way you see yourself as the leader in your business by empowering the authentic you to be the leader that your business needs you to be.

Kristin attributes her success to the primary foundation of authentic leadership. Her theory and process of developing a leadership style authentic to the self are based on the humanistic, existential, and systemic theories of psychology and healing.
She has taken over a decade of experience in healing the mind and transformed it into business healing and transformation.
Overview of Kristin's session
Many health professionals who assume a level of leadership such as business ownership often have shame-based beliefs relating to leadership, management and being the boss.
These unhelpful beliefs then cause us to build unhelpful patterns of relating that alienate our staff, and we end up creating the very type of workplace that we were so desperate to avoid.
The emerging clinicians graduating today, need authentic leaders who are self-aware, congruent, and able to lead from a place of service.
In this content-rich session, Kristen will transform the way you see yourself as the leader in your business by empowering the authentic you to be the leader that your business needs you to be.

Who is Amoret Kaufman?
Amoret is one of those lucky people who can honestly say "I love my work!" Whether teaching parents new tools to avoid power struggles, supporting students who juggle school and social pressures, helping adults navigate life's twists and turns, or guiding a family in conflict to a peaceful resolution.
Amoret’s specialty is the intersection of the triple A's: ADHD, Anxiety, and ACEs (Adverse Childhood Experiences). They can show up together or separately, with overlapping symptoms, often hidden under the surface of high-performing professionals, students, and creative types (who hope nobody is noticing their struggle).
There is no "one size fits all" solution for the problems facing people living with ADHD Anxiety and ACE’s so a highly individualized approach is required. Amorets’ style is strengths-based, with strategies and techniques custom-tailored to each person’s unique needs.
