Will Miller

These days are unpredictable. Doom and gloom abound, but not with Miller. His presentation is a breather and a change of pace as he provides perspective and a practical guide to alleviate the stresses of our current turmoil brought on by layoffs, credit crunches, foreclosures, bailouts—need we say more? Dr. Will magnificently brings us positive tips on how to fortify ourselves, not just to cope, but to hold on to our joy, build productivity to new heights and actually thrive.

Miller's book Refrigerator Rights: Creating Connections and Restoring Relationships explores the erosion of interpersonal relationships in the modern world. He offers advice on improving the connections that provide a potent source of strength to each of us—the support system readily available through relationships we cultivate at home and at work. His talk helps you grow stronger and more resilient.

Miller's teaching is highly appealing to today's audiences because he combines his speech with stand-up comedy. Dividing his time between the podium and a stand-up microphone, he discusses the three factors that define resilience: temperament, love and support of family, and the broader support of community. After making his point at the podium, he steps away and delivers a hilarious comedy routine to embellish what he previously articulated. The audience enjoys both a message and a show.

In the midst of the chaos and uncertainty of our economic times, Miller offers a much-needed nugget of optimism and humor. Dr. Will is uniquely prepared to help people and organizations to not just survive, but thrive with a bright outlook to the future. It's all about resilience. Miller gives REAL practical advice you can use when you walk out the door to manage your life and your work. He'll give you the resources needed to move in a positive direction when life's challenges and changes seem too much to manage.

The Winds of Change is an inspiring and instructive message that goes beyond coping. It's about establishing equilibrium in your life when the rest of the world seems to have gone mad and out of balance. Miller discusses the impact of retreat and isolation, the wealth of reserve you can tap into free of charge and the three factors that define resilience: temperament, love and support of family, and the broader support of community. A unique blend of resilience expert, psychotherapist specializing in corporate culture, author and stand-up comedian, Dr. Will and his presentations are inspiring, interactive, enlightening and fun.

During years of economic growth, Miller's messages about life balance and enjoying your success while being more productive at work resonated deeply with audiences. But this message is just as important now. This keynote presentation teaches people how to cope with stress and worry, to handle transition and uncertainty, all the while continuing to work together productively and maintain healthy personal relationships.

Modern American life is overwhelmed by change. Life, work and even technology seem to be changing in the blink of an eye. It is a well-established fact that change, any change, causes stress. It stands to reason then, that in our culture where change is ubiquitous America leads the developed world in stress related disorders. This has a measurable effect on companies, organizations and families.

Stress affects worker productivity, satisfaction, physical and emotional health…in other words the bottom line!

How can we alleviate the stress? Simply "trying harder' by ourselves is not the best answer. The real solution may surprise you. Miller's presentation is grounded in the best that social science has to offer. It has personal impact and will effect real change in your organization.
