SHINE LIKE THE STAR YOU ARE for Health/Wellness and Service Providers

SHINE LIKE THE STAR YOU ARE for Health/Wellness and Service Providers:
Are you a health/wellness service provider or caretaker who devotes your life to providing loving care to others?

Does this describe you?

"I am a person dedicated to caring for others and their needs, and I regularly forget to take care of my own."
"I have big dreams and ideas, but caring for others sometimes distracts me from living a joyous life that honors my dreams and allows me to live my life's purpose with ease."

"I give so much that I am often drained and have no energy for myself, family and friends."

"Sometimes I find myself not fully engaged or operating at full capacity on my job or in my career."

"I find myself helping so many others that I am not totally reaching my goals."

Know that there is a way to care for others and also give attention to the most important person in your life: YOU, glorious YOU!

Introducing Oya's Keynote SHINE LIKE THE STAR YOU ARE for Health/Wellness and Service Providers:

SHINE LIKE THE STAR YOU ARE is based on the underlying principles of singer, speaker, producer and mentor Oya Thomas' book, The 5 Star Points for Success: Manifest Your Dreams, Live Your Life's Purpose. This session for caretakers and healthcare providers will help you devise a roadmap so you can re-learn how to take good care of yourself and make time to treat yourself to experiences that make you feel rejuvenated and more able to do your important work caring for others.

Identify the unique challenges that caretakers face in their professional and personal lives and learn how to surmount them with grace in order to continue to feel strong and fully present.

*Discover how to balance nurturing others with loving and nurturing yourself in order to let your light shine.
*Reconnect with your inner child and the truth that living out loud, achieving your dreams and fulfilling your heart's purpose is all well within reach, even as you care for others.
*Explore important mindsets about relationships, being a "whole" and independent person, achieving balance and harmony and the concepts of self-nurture, self-love and self-honor.
... Learn much, much more about yourself!

CORPORATE STAR STRATEGIES KEYNOTE

Is your company as successful and profitable as it could be?
Here are some hard truths:

In order to be of great service to a company, employees need to be healthy, happy and passionate about the work they do.
If your company is like most, your employees are spending about 20 hours a week of company time stressing out about their jobs. (That's half of a typical 40-hour workweek!)
At the end of the day, employees who feel stressed out and distracted are not able to focus on their jobs.

And another big one: This drop in productivity is costing your company!

A toxic work environment can lead to lack of motivation, stress-related illnesses and ...

Employees calling in late;
More sick days, extended illness and disability claims;
Increased benefits costs;
Less money for the company's bottom line.

But ... there is hope to get your company healthy!

In CORPORATE STAR STRATEGIES, savvy business expert and spiritual mentor Oya Thomas will teach you how to take the next step on the journey of building an inspiring, thriving workplace. This keynote will give your organization a roadmap for motivating themselves and each that will promote health and happiness in the workplace.

Learn how to embrace and share strategies that silence criticism, blame and excuses so you can support positive thoughts in and bring more joy to your workplace.
Access your inner child and the enthusiasm of your employees to get into the zone of following life's passions against any odds.
Build a loving relationship with yourself and others in order to reconnect to your company's mission so you can communicate it to others and stir up real excitement and creativity.

HIGHSCHOOL & COLLEGE STAR DREAM MAKERS

Students are being bombarded by new experiences, and emotions run high in that fragile space where they are growing into adulthood. The outcome of decisions made during the teenage years can last a lifetime, but at this age, the mind is not always mature enough for all the situations it will encounter. Pressure and criticism from their peers and adults can sometimes shut down their bright light and their hope that they are capable of doing something fantastic with their lives. Through the "Teen Dream Makers" workshop, Oya provides a space for healing growing pains and cultivating dreams, to let young people know it is okay to have big plans for their lives. She shows them how to apply the 5 Star Points system to their unique experiences and gives them tools to learn how to manifest their dreams. She also encourages education and the important foundation that higher education can help build, by teaching teenagers how to balance homework and school with friends and making the best decisions for their future. Oya's ability to be a "big kid" and connect regularly with her little girl who enjoys the silly and fun things in the world, while still utilizing the wisdom gained from her life experiences and her education helps her forge meaningful connections with young people and inspire them to keep use what they love as a way to get them aligned and resonating with positive vibrations.

S.T.A.R SYSTEM FOR WOMEN

SHINE LIKE THE STAR YOU ARE
Every woman matters. Every woman has a voice, and yet sometimes our voice gets lost in the roles we play.

During this keynote Oya will walk you through her S.T.A.R system required to sparkle and shine as a woman of power, a woman of purpose and a woman who loves herself.

So many women nurture others, yet do not nurture or love themselves; they dim their lights because they are too busy trying to help others shine theirs. And many women stopped believing in their dreams when, as children, someone they admired told them these dreams were impossible or made them fear living out loud and fulfilling their heart's purpose.

As a lifelong business woman and entrepreneur, Oya understands that women face unique challenges when trying to grow into their power. In the keynote Oya teaches women how to become strong business women through the "5 Star Points System," but also how to make space for the loving, nurturing time they need to support a joyful, emotionally-healthy life.

Some topics Oya explores in this talk are money, relationships and dating, being whole (with or without a significant other), balance and harmony, navigating business as a woman, self nurture/self love/self honor and some practical ways women can look drama in the face and learn, laugh and grow from the experience.

PROSPEROUS DREAMER: FROM STARVING ARTIST TO STARDOM

PROSPEROUS DREAMER: FROM STARVING ARTIST TO STARDOM
Even the most incredibly talented artists doubt themselves. Whether they are barely making it financially, or wildly successful and just unhappy in their lives, they are surviving instead of thriving. Why? They are mired in the stress of being a "starving artist," because they never built a solid foundation that would help lift them out of "survival" mode. This seminar provides those that are ready to take the next step on the journey of fully showing up in their artistry with a roadmap for the winding path that goes from surviving, to sustaining, to thriving. Once again using the "5 Star Points" system and her own experiences within the entertainment industry as a guide, Oya walks participants through each stage of artist growth and helps them create a leveraged progression plan that starts with making ends meet each month and ends with them breaking through the barriers and prospering from their dreams.
