Looking for something different for your next conference, corporate gathering or team offsite? Try an engagement that truly engages.
I called my company “With Pause” because that’s what I embrace – living a life that embodies true awareness. In my keynotes, I focus on the importance of taking that pause – a pause to consider, a pause to re-direct, a pause to pay attention to people and situations without judgment. Over and over again, I’ve loved seeing that “aha!” moment when my audiences realize how much “pausing” applies to their own lives.
From large corporations like AT &T to mid-size creative agencies to the smallest private preschools, I’ve been invited to share the principles of mindfulness with groups of almost any size, from almost any background, each with their own unique needs and perspectives.
But is this for anyone?
Absolutely! Mindfulness is a universal concept with almost limitless applications. Anyone – teachers, CEOs, parents, coworkers, spouses – can benefit from learning new techniques for reducing stress, improving focus, managing emotional situations and embracing challenges. Everyone feels overwhelmed from time to time, that’s just life. Mindfulness makes those times easier to manage…and further apart.
How does it work?
We review your group’s challenges, goals, and unique stressors and then decide on a program that’s most appropriate. A sample of my keynote topics and presentations:

What Others Have to Say
Renee’s presentation was refreshing at the Seattle Interactive Conference. We live in a world where we are running from meeting to meeting, always connected to our devices and don’t take time to ‘Pause’ and acknowledge ourselves. Renee spoke to a full room of busy business professionals and helped them all be able to be present in the moment. The experience was amazing and unexpected by many of the attendees.”
