Mindfully Navigating Through Stress and Anxiety 

Stress and anxiety are umbrella terms used to describe a wide spectrum of emotions, thoughts and behaviours. Whether employees are working from home or in the office, we need tools to manage and navigate through different seasons in our lives. Rather than speak about mental illness, symptoms or signs, Scott will speak about mental fitness and share specific tools to make sure our well-being flourishes while working from home or the office.

In this workshop, Scott will cover:

  • What stress and anxiety are telling us - reframing our current perspective
  • Simple techniques to improve positive self-talk and reduce anxiety
  • Compassionate inquiry meditation technique to decrease stress
  • Polyvagal exercises for a 60 second nervous system reset (seated or standing options)
  • A list of online resources will also be provided

 

While my keynote talks are valuable, they're just one aspect of what I bring to the table. Each workplace has its own set of emotional health requirements and conversation topics. Let's connect to discuss how I can tailor my expertise to best serve your team or audience.

Latest Testimonials

Scott Ste Marie gave our office a refreshing and very real perspective on what mental health means, along with some practical coping tools to deal with stress both at home and in the workplace. I would definitely recommend Scott to any employer looking to educate and help the staff on what is one of the most important issues in the workplace today.”

- Gary Hopkins, CEO of Air Charter Service Canada 

We have a very diverse workforce of men and women from different backgrounds, at various ages, with varying opinions about mental health but that wasn't a roadblock for Scott. His session connected with all employees who attended and weeks later we received feedback that employees were still using the tools he provided. Our company hit the mark by providing Scott Ste Marie as a resource and I would encourage other companies to do the same. If you want to invest in your employee’s wellbeing, Scott should be top of your list."

- Melanie Britton, CarFax Canada

Scott used his sense of humour to be incredibly relatable and remove any discomfort around a topic that is often stigmatized. Our attendees most appreciated his ability to connect with audience members on a personal level while bringing a sense of inclusivity and communal strength to the group.”

- Liam Randhawa, Founder of Project Spaces

Scott isn't afraid to take risks and explore topics that are outside of the "norm". It is hard to find speakers that can take a popular topic, and bring new ideas around it. I would recommend Scott to anyone who is looking for an energetic, creative speaker that will engage with the audience and leave them with things to think about."

- Mary-Lyn Kieffer, Director at Made of Millions Foundation

From my very first interaction with Scott, it was undeniably clear that he is doing the work he was put on this planet to do. His passion and connected nature shines through so brightly. I’ve been putting on speaking events for a handful of years now, some really big names, and Scott blew them all out of the water."

- Jamie Harvey, Manager of Health & Wellness at Loyalty One

Scott’s passion, speaking about living with depression and anxiety is one of the best talks I have
heard. He is engaging and heart-felt, sharing stories and experiences that we can all relate to. I
would recommend Scott to speak to speak to any organization so you can see and experience
firsthand his passion for not only speaking about mental illness but sharing his important story.
Scott, thank you for being YOU!"

- Jill Aimone, LMS Administrator at Crisis Prevention Institute
