I give keynote speeches, workshops, and presentations that show teachers, executives, managers, and employees how to avoid burnout and reclaim the passion and joy for what they do both inside and outside the boardroom, classroom, and in "real" life.
My motto is: "Maximize Your Performance Without Sacrificing Yourself."
Dan Tricarico, The Zen Professional, spoke at our event on May 1, 2022 – and he was fabulous! Dan was a pleasure to work with: He was organized, a good listener, and he worked with us to develop the right message for our audience. Dan’s experience as a teacher allowed him to relate to both students and their parents, and Dan shared his insights in an interesting, humorous and all around engaging manner. I would 100% consider engaging Dan to speak at another event.

My presentations show teachers and business people how to use Zen-inspired techniques such as mindfulness, meditation, Beginner’s Mind, compassion, gratitude, subtraction, decluttering, gratitude, non-judgment, and intentional and radical self-care to achieve a greater sense of relaxation, peace, and control in the boardroom, in the classroom, and in "real" life.
The Zen Teacher and Zen Professional workshops are based on Dan Tricarico’s books The Zen Teacher: Creating Focus, Simplicity, and Tranquility in the Classroom and Sanctuaries: Self-Care Secrets for Stressed Out Teachers.
Using the 5 step Zen Teacher Blueprint, this workshop shows teachers and business people how to:
--Act with intention
--Accept what is
--Be present in the moment
--Focus on The Now
--Show compassion
--Pay attention
--Living mindfully
--Create space
--Reflect and meditate on their practice
--Detach from expectations and embrace the “teachable moment”
--Embrace stillness and subtraction for a greater sense of fulfillment in the
classroom, boardroom, office, and "real" life.
After 25 years as a high school English teacher, Dan Tricarico found himself heading toward burnout and knew something had to change. Wanting to continue as a teacher, he cultivated strategies that helped him reclaim his control and stay in the classroom.
Today, Tricarico is a national speaker who shares his expertise and insight to show teachers how to reduce their stress and improve their self-care, so they can thrive both inside and outside the classroom.
Tricarico is author of The Zen Teacher: Focus Simplicity and Tranquility in the Classroom and Sanctuaries: Self-Care Secrets for Stressed Out Teachers. Creator of The Zen Teacher 5 Step Blueprint, he has also been featured in Fast Company Magazine, EduTopia, Teacher 2 Teacher, and The Truth for Teachers and Talks with Teachers Podcasts.
I believe in simplicity. . .
For virtual events, I simply need someone to monitor the chat and keep me apprised of comments and questions.
For live events, I need a few bottles of water, a lapel mic, and a projector.
That's it!
Thank you. I look forward to working with your group!
