Tia’s Speaking Topics
Be a happy leader
Thrive Personally and Achieve Killer Business Results

Positive parenting during challenging times
The Path from Stressed to Calm
Parents do not need to live in a constant state of stress, anxiety, and overwhelm. Children feel their parent's energy and when adults have inner peace, children feel safer and are more resilient to deal with life’s challenges. When parents are happy, their careers thrive and they are healthier. Whether your child is going through challenges or you are being affected by the many obstacles that face parents today, attendees will leave with science-based tools and practices to create sustained positivity.
· How to implement self-compassion daily
· Understand the resources and research to cultivate calm
· How busy parents can prioritize being positive with micro-behaviors and mindset shifts
The secrets of positive teams
Prioritize Relationships and Connect to Purpose
Positive work environments and work cultures are desperately needed in every organization. Creating and leading positive teams is often misunderstood. When people are happy while they are working, they are more productive, resilient, engaged, and creative.
· How to create and execute an authentic listening strategy
· Drive motivation and performance with feedback and coaching
· Learn the connection between intellectual wellbeing and innovation
· Build a culture based on people, purpose, and progress

What Executives Are Saying About Tia’s Keynote Experiences

“Tia was our Keynote Speaker at our Marriott Women’s Leadership Event. From the beginning, Tia was a great partner to understand our attendee’s perspectives and created a program that would engage our attendees. Tia facilitated a high energy program and focused on each attendee becoming their best self. She also facilitated a Leadership Breakout Workshop to help leaders “Master their Mindset”. Our attendees shared feedback that they walked away with: “Happiness is a choice” and “It’s important to visualize ourselves in a positive way and also send that energy to others.” Tia’s impact on our leaders did not stop there as she facilitated “Arrive at Happy” virtual program 70 days after our live event to further pull through key messaging of being your best self. Tia provided an action buffet of things our team can execute to live a more meaningful and purposeful life. I would highly recommend Tia to any organization looking to inspire their teams to become their best selves, be happy leaders, and create really happy teams. ”

“Tia Graham was a Keynote Speaker for The Crimson Connection, which has a global audience exceeding 15,000 people, the vast majority of whom are senior executives with MBAs from ivy league institutions. Tia highly engaged our audience and provided practical strategies to increase authentic happiness at both the personal and corporate levels. Her genuine and passionate personal stories allowed the audience to connect deeper to the message and to understand how they could create more happiness and success for themselves. I highly recommend Tia as a keynote speaker and now believe that all companies should help leaders and teams be happier! Her book, Be a Happy Leader, is a must-read.”

“Today more than ever before, empathy has become a leadership imperative because it drives performance, employee satisfaction and retention. When teams feel heard and understood they feel more fulfilled and happier. Tia Graham gave 2 keynote talks to our Account Sales and National Group teams. Tia inspired our team to reflect on their happiness and took them all to a new level of awareness. A key learning - that happiness is a choice we make, and we have more control over it than we realize. She provided us with the tools we can use to make positive thinking a habit that will strengthen our personal and professional life. She is a beacon of light and left us all motivated to find our true north. #Arriveathappy”

“Tia was the keynote speaker opening Socap Fall Symposium. To say she was a hit is an understatement! Her positive energy is contagious and attendees were sitting up a little straighter and paying close attention to her message on how to be a happy leader. After the past two years of pandemic-related challenges, contact center leaders are worn out from working hard on creative solutions for managing their teams in-house and at home. Tia’s messages and ideas were uplifting with new concepts and great examples. But it wasn’t all just concepts; she shared the studies showing the positive correlation between productivity and happy employees. Her message challenges us to be happy leaders that attain success within our teams. Additionally, she was easy to work with, fun to be with, and her book signing sold out. At the airport I saw attendees reading her book while they waited for flights, underscoring how well she engaged us. I highly recommend Tia Graham.”
