The To-Do List Solution: Mastering Productivity with Brain Science

Is your to-do list never ending?

Do you have trouble knowing where to start when you begin something new?

Are you constantly putting out fires, forced to prioritize what is urgent rather than what's important?

In this one-hour interactive workshop, Alegre will illuminate the three mistakes most of us make that keep us from being as productive as we want and show you the three-step, strategic framework that will exponentially increase your productivity.

But she won't just tell you what to do, she will have you implementing the three strategies immediately. You will see for yourself how these brain-science-backed strategies help you work smarter, not harder and give you the opportunity to apply them to your own life.

Objectives for this session:

Learning Objective 1: Discover the (sometimes counterproductive) role dopamine plays in motivation and learn how to harness it to be more productive

Learning Objective 2: Learn how to distinguish between "deep" work and "shallow" work and how to consider the implications when scheduling your day

Learning Objective 3: Uncover the role your chronotype plays in scheduling your day and learn how to effectively time block for better focus

Culture by Design: A SAFE Framework for Workforce Wellness and Belonging

This engaging session introduces the SAFE Framework—a practical, people-centered approach to building psychologically safe, connected, and high-performing teams. Participants will explore how intentional culture design can reduce burnout, strengthen engagement, and increase retention by focusing on safety, awareness, feedback, and empathy. Using tools such as the Culture Audit Wheel and reflective exercises, attendees will learn how to assess their workplace culture, identify areas for growth, and create environments where staff feel seen, valued, and supported. The session blends behavioral science, leadership development, and wellness strategies into a replicable model for everyday use. Participants will leave equipped with actionable insights and ready-to-use tools to foster trust, belonging, and sustainable workplace well-being.

Objectives for this session:

Apply the SAFE Framework to identify and address workplace factors that impact engagement, belonging, and retention.

Analyze team dynamics using the Culture Audit Wheel to uncover strengths and barriers to psychological safety.

Develop an action plan for integrating human-centered, trauma-informed practices that promote wellness, trust, and collaboration across teams.
