In an effort to gear up for a surge in business, the management team at DLA Architects was seeking a way to help our employees cope with upcoming stress. Debbie Vyskocil helped our team to identify what stress looks like in their body, along with how it impacts health, memory and cognitive functioning. She brought us a variety of techniques team members can use to deal effectively with both work and personal challenges. Thanks to Debbie, we were prepared for the “end of the year crunch” and we now have a healthier staff that is ready for whatever the new year brings.
I had a wonderful time working with Debbie Vyskocil for the Disrupt Milwaukee program. She has a vast knowledge of neuroscience and high-performance training. Debbie was flexible researching an alternative direction on her expertise. Above all, we had fun working and collaborating together.
A wonderful opening speaker for our conference, Debbie spoke about how unplanned or unexpected discoveries are what change the world. She highlighted stress as a major roadblock to staying open and creative and led the group in exercises to maintain focus. I really enjoyed the way audience interaction was weaved throughout her talk; it set a wonderful tone for the remainder of the conference.
We are confident our clients will leave with great ideas and tools each time we bring Debbie in. She keeps everyone engaged with exercises and participation. Debbie is easy to work with and makes our clients happy, what else is there?
Debbie shared research and her expertise of negative stress and its effect on sleep, the immune system and our brain. In addition to sharing this knowledge, Debbie walked us through several techniques to succeed in these times.
If you are looking for a fresh and relevant topic to bring to your organization, I highly recommend Debbie. She worked with us to craft a program that was just right for our members.
We had an overwhelmingly great response from our group. Everyone walked away with solid takeaways and the experiential piece really drove it home. The stories gave us an understanding of how Mindfulness can benefit all of us.
Debbie recently gave two keynotes for my company’s Summit. The participants were grateful for Debbie’s high energy and practical steps they can apply to their lives. They especially enjoyed her blend of science and facts with how these were shown in stories from her own life.
Debbie’s program for the ASQ was content-rich and entertaining. She naturally connects with data, humor and interactive experiences to every engineer, scientist, and executive in the room. The audience left feeling excited and motivated to use what they learned and share the information with colleagues.
I laughed and I learned. I am excited to use these new skills on my way to the office tomorrow. We are scientists and engineers, Debbie understood that. She gave us practical techniques and the data to back them up. It was great!
