Biography

Dr. Jo Lichten, PhD, RDN, CSP is an energy expert…for people.
Blending the science of peak performance with a healthy dose of reality, she works with organizations to recharge their people for improved performance, productivity, and profitability.

Humans require energy to operate.
In the same way that cars and computers require constant energy to perform at their very best, so do humans! Research supports that just small shifts in the ways we eat, sleep, move, and think affects our energy – in both positive and negative ways.

Get that mix right
and you’ll tap into a constant source of dependable, renewable energy that will improve your mental acuity, promote a positive mood, and instill a sense of purpose that will make you feel more energized and motivated to get more done.

Dr. Jo’s fast-paced, fun, interactive style
provides motivation and realistic strategies for improving workplace performance and achieving life balance. Her most popular programs are delivered in her signature game show format.

With her doctorate focused on change management
(Texas A&M University), Jo is a skilled communicator who connects with audiences and delivers a message that resonates across job titles and industries.

As an accredited health professional (RDN),
she has presented programs (including approved continuing education), for a wide variety of organizations including The Advisory Board, Janney, Acquia, ExxonMobil, Gallo Wine, Vail Vets, MPI, American Association of Occupational Health Nurses, and American Society of Safety Professionals.

Her diverse work experience
in corporate, healthcare, and higher education includes seven years consulting with Johnson & Johnson Human Performance Institute – coaching C-suite executives on how to boost energy and performance while avoiding burnout.

Jo has presented 1000+ programs (100,000+ attendees)
to clients across North America and abroad. It’s no wonder that Jo earned the highly sought after Certified Speaking Professional (CSP) designation – a title held by less than 12% of all speaking professionals worldwide.

Author of six books,
her latest is REBOOT – how to power up your energy, focus, and productivity. Along with writing hundreds of magazine articles, Jo has also appeared on many hundreds of TV, radio, and podcast shows including CNN and Fox.

We’ll cover the science-based objectives by involving the participants in a fun, interactive story. As the story unfolds, the participants answer poll questions every three or four minutes. The debriefing naturally leads to the next question and then the next. So people are learning while having fun. 

With more than ten years of experience as a virtual presentor, I can present any of my programs virtually. 

My office setting includes a professional background studio set up (no unpredicable green screen) with high-quality equipment including a webcam and a lavalier microphone.

ENERGY REBOOT: THE MISSING LINK TO PRODUCTIVITY AND PEAK PERFORMANCE

Energy drives everything…

motivation, creativity, and performance. When people focus on generating energy rather than on managing time, they become more productive AND get through each day without feeling completely exhausted. 

As the author of REBOOT – how to power up your energy, focus, & productivity,

Dr. Jo uses scientific research from her review of over 1000 medical studies to offer real-life solutions that ignite company leaders to initiate, model, and encourage proven strategies for mastering peak performance without risking burnout.

After the program attendees will have:

  • Insights into how the body and brain function to generate the energy needed to function at a high level for long periods of time
  • Practical strategies for fueling the body, sustaining concentration and focus, staying productive, and preventing burnout

STORMY WEATHER AHEAD: BUILDING RESILIENCE AND MANAGING STRESS IN A WHIRLWIND OF CHAOS

Take your pick – a focus on resilience or stress management. Also, can be delivered as a two-part program. 

Eye of the Storm: building resilience

When chaos swirls around you like a hurricane, do you get swept up in those winds or manage to stay more grounded than most? In this hands-on program, Dr. Jo will help you build your resilience to stress.

Into the Storm: creating solutions to stress

While stress seems to be a two-step process (it happens and we respond), there are actually five specific steps that flow from one to another. You’ll learn how to interrupt/change each of these steps in order to positively change your response to stress.

 Afterward, attendees will be able to:

  • Define stress in terms of positive and negative implications
  • Practice three coping strategies for managing their stressors
  • Describe the five steps in the stress cycle and one way to interrupt/change each of these steps

SWIMMING IN A SEA OF PRIORITIES

Are you feeling crushed under the pressure of too much to do and not enough time?

Join Dr. Jo® as we discover, develop, and practice strategies for managing your stress and feeling more balanced. We’ll focus on:

  • Identifying the true stressors in your life – trust me, it’s rarely what you think
  • Evaluating your own personal priorities using a self-engaging question
  • A plan to help you stay focused at work and forget it when you’re home
  • Practicing strategies designed to help you manage your stress better – so you can find something that works for you!

FIGHTING FATIGUE IN THE WORKPLACE

Today’s employees are working harder, faster, and longer than ever before.

There are tighter budgets and reduced staff. While technology and time-management techniques make it easier to do more with less, the constant pressure of excessive workloads ultimately results in fatigue and burnout.

Fortunately, a bit of prevention can go a long way
and result in significant benefits to both the company and those who work for it.

Attendees will leave this keynote with:

  • An understanding of the real costs related to fatigue in terms of accidents, errors, absenteeism, and loss of productivity
  • Three practical strategies to prevent and counter fatigue during the workday
  • Real life examples of companies that have successfully reduced fatigue in the workplace
