We all know the importance of keeping your body fit. It’s essential for your health. But keeping your mind mentally fit is just as critical. A healthy mind gives you the fortitude and resilience needed to meet challenges head-on to successfully navigate life and career paths. In this presentation, Mental Health Advocate Corey Minor Smith shares five easy but critical steps to make mental health a top priority. These are essential tools to keep you feeling your best and leading a happier life.

When it comes to caring for a loved one with a Severe Mental Illness (SMI), Corey Minor Smith has had a front-row seat. Her mother has suffered from schizophrenia since Corey was a child. It led  Corey to become a trained facilitator for the National Alliance on Mental Illness. In this presentation, Corey charts a path for addressing a loved one with SMI: Offering tips, suggestions and strategies you might use to improve an often-harrowing experience—both for the one afflicted and the one charged with their care. She’ll take you on an inspirational journey of learning about mental illness, the resources that are available and how we can eliminate the stigma associated with it. You’ll learn strategies to adapt and find what works best for yourself and your loved ones. There is no one-size-fits-all treatment plan–and there is no one-size-fits-all relationship. With patience and tenacity, you can assist your loved one to have the most productive existence living with a severe mental illness.

While DEIA has become a well-worn mantra, its underlying principles are often muddled beneath a failure to grapple with each element of this powerful phrase. In this keynote, Corey Minor Smith offers a radical new understanding of diversity, equity, inclusion and accessibility–it must be about more than various groups gathering and different identities coming together. It must focus on just ends and transformative practices. The former policemen responsible for George Floyd’s death were diverse: two White men, one Black man and an Asian man. And yet, their diversity did not lead to justice or change. Corey will probe the transformative dimensions of DEIA and how we can incorporate just principles into our corporations, schoolrooms or jobs.

In this presentation, Mental Health Advocate Corey Minor Smith shows you how to transform problems from childhood into power as adults so you can succeed in your life and career. Her talk is full of information that will help you unpack Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs). Once you are equipped with knowledge about ACEs, you’ll know how such factors may impact your life and how to effectively address them while moving forward in your career. With a thorough review of key strategies, you’ll be better able to overcome ACEs and embrace new and exciting opportunities.

There is no such thing as a one-size-fits-all corporate culture. Every organization, institution and entity has a personality of its own. In this presentation, Corey Minor Smith will help identify the key components of the corporate culture in which you exist, so that you might learn how to thrive. It is also critical that companies and employees, alike, understand their value to each other. With the tumultuous times we continue to face, it is important for employees to believe that their employer has their backs. And it is critical for employees to show their value in the most favorable and productive light. This session is vital for any leader who wants to continue to enhance productivity, reach goals for the team and maximize efficiency for the company. With these strategies seamlessly implemented, companies and teams are sure to see immediate results.
