Lo Myrick - Mental Health, Leadership, and Peak Performance

My nonprofit had the pleasure of selecting Lo Myrick as the guest speaker for our annual fundraiser. Lo's presentation was nothing short of outstanding. Her ability to engage the audience and captivate their attention using interactive technology was awe-inspiring. Not only was she informative, but her humor added an extra layer of enjoyment to the event.

What truly stood out was Lo's excellent communication skills, which was evident from our initial interactions leading up to the event, throughout her presentation, and even afterward. She took the time to understand our organization's goals and tailored her presentation accordingly. Her thorough research and precise delivery left our donors with a deep understanding of our mission and why their support is crucial.

I firmly believe that Lo's keynote played a significant role in exceeding our donation expectations for the event.

Beyond her professional abilities, Lo was an absolute delight to work with. Her warm demeanor and collaborative approach made the entire process seamless and a joy.

In summary, I highly recommend Lo Myrick as a speaker for any event. Her expertise, engaging presentation style, and genuine personality make her an invaluable addition.

Lo is an incredibly insightful and talented communicator - she equipped our teams with strategies to use in the workplace and in our personal lives to achieve better mental health outcomes, understand and manage stress triggers, and equip ourselves for future growth.

Lo Myrick was key in reaching our student-athletes as she was a former collegiate swimmer! Lo came with a ton of positive energy, provided relevant data that the student-athletes could relate to, and had a ton of takeaways (including physical worksheets for the group). Her passion for the specific topics (Peak Performance and Leadership) was evident in the way she interacted with and provided easy/useful takeaways for the SAs in attendance to use relating to: guided meditation, setting boundaries (and tips to stick to those boundaries), the importance of taking time for yourself, and social media (to name a few). In a society where it is easy to become anxious, overwhelmed and be a 'yes' person, she made it very clear it is truly okay to prioritize oneself and mental health. Additionally, Lo stayed to visit with each round table after her 90-minute session to answer any questions the student-athletes may not have wanted to ask in front of the group (an additional 30+ minutes) and I thought that was really awesome of her to do as she was not asked of/required to do this. This just goes to show how Lo is an amazing human. I look forward to continuing to work with her in the future for other constituents within the conference.

My staff, team and I all loved working with Lo! Right off the bat, she was 100% invested in our team. We brought her in to work with our athletic teams (college cheer and dance), and she helped with communication, accountability, leadership and much more.

She was relatable, personable, supportive and helped us grow as a program. I feel like a better coach and leader from my time and work with her. And I have recognizes significant positive changes in my athletes. I look forward to future work with her and would recommend her a thousand times over!

Lo consistently provides an open and engaging environment for a group to work together and support one another. She pays attention to each person in a way that helps the entire group feel safe, confident, and respected. Lo makes this look easy, but I know from my own experience as a psychologist that it is not. I admire her ability to invite the group to go deeper, and to be a trusted guide throughout the process. Her energy is honest and engaging. I greatly admire and respect the work she does.

Lo listens to me. She receives data with an open mind and thinks outside the box. She helps me to see myself from a different point of view which allows me to open my mind to different possibilities in my healing process. She cares, and she is thoughtful. Never ever have I felt judged. I can tell Lo anything knowing that I will feel more clear afterwards. My life has gotten better with her help. So lucky to have found her.

Lo led an informal mental health discussion for a group of about 20 people. She was wonderful! I was particularly impressed with her ability to strike the right balance between delivering information and insights with engaging the group/audience throughout. In a short, 45-minute session, she shared insights that will help attendees identify and cope with stressors while understanding stress and wellness patterns in their lives. On top of all that, she was kind, gracious, and very easy to deal with before and following the event. I would recommend her to anyone.

My team raved about this session, felt it was grounding and engaging. Thank you Lo!

As a Senior Director, one of the major hurdles our team had to overcome in a remote working environment was to avoid burnout as our business increased. Lo developed a workshop that focused on the individual and encouraged each person to look inward on how they can maximize their time management to complete our clients work while still maintaining time for themselves. The workshop helped build awareness in the team and we look forward to future workshops to address new areas of focus as our business environment continues to evolve.

As a nonprofits in the human services sector, our staff members are under tremendous pressure to serve and care for our most fragile neighbors, and the pandemic increased this stress exponentially. Lo was a breath of fresh air - teaching us practical strategies to recenter, reconnect, and care for ourselves so that we can continue to provide great care for those who rely on us every day.
