Consulting

A successful talk comes down to implementation and integration. That’s why Chasing the Sun’s Three-Point Impact delivers tailored follow-up for your team and company.

Topics Include:

  • “Is my life better because I work here?” That’s the question people on your team likely wake up with every day. 

    Recent data from sources including Glassdoor, Forbes and Gallup, says 88% of job seekers believe a healthy culture at work is vital for success, and 86% of job seekers avoid companies with a bad reputation.

    Mark Mohammadpour lays out actionable steps you can take to install a Culture of Well-being to help:

    • Reduce burnout and employee turnover

    • Increase employee engagement

    • Improve company reputation

    Be part of the solution at your organization. Learn to define a “Culture of Well-being,” as well as your role and your team’s role in its development, and take away relatable, practical and actionable steps you and your team can implement immediately.

  • Recent data suggests that 76 percent of people who experienced empathy from their leaders reported being engaged, a critical factor in designing effective employee communications strategies.

    We’ll discuss how an empathetic leadership style can help build trust with employees, earn respect from executives, and design a winning culture.

  • The highly charged environment of world and domestic events is causing intense levels of stress and anxiety.

    You, your colleagues, clients, and partners all have strong feelings about what’s happening today, and what might be coming tomorrow.

    Unfortunately, the “out of sight, out of mind” approach of the past doesn’t work in today’s constant news cycle.

    Creating a space to safely discuss current events at work is essential to your well-being and those around you.

    We must tackle this challenge head-on and embrace difficult conversations as a benefit, not a burden.

    Mark Mohammadpour will lead a fully interactive conversation on personal and social civility and the effect of respect, kindness, and empathy to build trust.

    You will learn actionable strategies to create a culture where you and every person you work with feel valued and heard. We’ll discuss:

    • Relatable, practical, and actionable steps you can immediately take to prioritize your well-being.

    • The role of leaders to influence others on civility, respect, and empathy.

    • The power you have in reprioritizing events not in your control.

    You will leave inspired to re-think how you think about current and future events and transform how you connect with those who matter most.

    Email Mark for more information.

  • A leader might feel lonely on paper, but it doesn’t have to be in reality. By attaining buoyancy, you will be a trusted advisor for your employees and clients, and, most important, live a healthy life to spend with your loved ones. This conversation will deliver on how to be a healthy, confident leader.

    Email Mark for more information.

Our work together will create actionable solutions for your individual, team, and business well-being.
