To book Dr. Evergreen or one of her staff, contact: Hey@StephanieEvergreen.com Bad data displays lose hearts, minds, & wallets. Let’s change your game. I’ll light a fire in your audience so that they leave hungry to better visualize data. I’ll talk about the science and structure of effective data visualization. Workshops for Data Consumers I teach you what to look for in data and how to pull together the evidence your team generates into clear messages that support decision-making. You’ll send me some of your current work and I’ll redesign it for the workshop to illustrate exactly what better data visualization can do for you. Workshops for Data Analysts I’ll teach you the Evergreen Data 4 Step Process for developing visuals of your data. You’ll know exactly how to leverage all of that data you’ve been collecting to tell the story of your organization in ways that are compelling and firmly grounded in research-based best practices. I’ll show you how to make amazingly impactful data visualizations that are crystal clear – the kind of thing your audience will print out and post on their office walls. I have brought my PhD in research and my heavy hitting design to help dozens upon dozens of clients communicate key messages from their data, engage audiences in precise discussions, and streamline decision-making.

I’m a change agent for empowered well-being in body, mind, and spirit. Basically, I help people and organizations be healthier and happier. I do this joyful service – as a speaker, writer, corporate consultant, and clinician – with an approach that’s grounded in three foundational beliefs: The body is a self-organizing organism that’s hard-wired for healing. Our mind can be used as either a bridge or a barrier in our quest for well-being. What matters most is WHO we are as we move through this world.Prior to earning an MS in clinical and integrative nutrition, I spent a dozen years in leadership positions in the high-tech industry. This experience has assisted me in being a seasoned ally for corporate clients, helping them to build a progressive wellness culture.I’m excited to report that my forthcoming book  Wild World, Joyful Heart: Unlock Your Power to Create Health and Joy will be available in October 2019. This book is a culmination of my past three decades of clinical experience, study, and research in the fields of science, psychology, and spiritual evolution.In addition to all that fun, originally a Maine native, I’ve lived for the past 24 years in the beautiful and historic Greater Boston area while enjoying my four children, my two grandchildren, and the gift of life. https://www.lauriewarren.com/ https://www.lauriewarren.com/about-wild-world-joyful-heart/

Dana has always left a legacy behind. She believes strongly in leaving things better than she found them, and her record shows it. While working at SIA as Senior VP of Strategy and Solutions, Dana co-launched the industry’s first-ever buyside conference, research council, advisory practice, and speaker bureau. This resulted in a complete organizational structure change to scale and ultimately sell the founder's company, along with the CEO and Chief Analyst, to Crain Communications. During her time as Global Vice President at TAPFIN, Dana designed, collaborated, and led the Global Managed Services (BPO) Center of Excellence for TAPFIN. By working with 66 country experts across sales, finance, legal, tax, operations, back office, and implementations, her team delivered standardized methods across Fortune Company clients while honoring nuances within each region, country, and province. Dana also directed a team of market intel and thought leader experts, mining proprietary data and correlating it with externally available market and economic data, to create and launch the first-ever company Contingent Workforce Index. Today, this is not only a Global Index but the basis for a new revenue model. Dana left TAPFIN to join ICon Professional Services (now TalentWave), where she served as COO and President of Alliances and Advisory Services. As COO, she led growth initiatives that resulted in the final transaction to a substantial private equity exit for the owner/founder of ICon within 18 months, doubling the company’s revenues by developing and executing against a three-horizon plan ahead of timeline by ten months. As President, she was an architect of change and led the industry’s first alliance and advisory practice. She was responsible for the team of experts who jumpstarted TalentWave’s growth engine with the vision of revolutionizing the way companies and freelancers take the first step to becoming compliant. The aforementioned successes and her 20+ years of experience led her to be recognized as a Silicon Valley Business Journal’s 2015 Woman of Influence, a judge for the 2016 and 2017 Stevie Awards in the Individual/Female Executive Award categories, and a member of SIA’s Global Power 150 for the Women in Staffing category in 2018. She has also spoken at a variety of international keynotes and expert panels within the talent ecosystem for such notable companies as Fieldglass, PeopleFluent, Allegis, and TAPFIN. She has also presented at industry events such as SIA’s CW Solution, SIA’s Executive Forum, and the TechServe Alliance Annual Conference. Not satisfied to only talk about her opinions and thoughts, she has published pieces in SI Review, CW 3.0, HRO, Compliance Week, The Fordyce Letter, and Institute Supply Management Magazine, among many others. Helping companies anticipate “what’s next” is a specialty of hers. Today, Dana has started her own consulting and advisory firm, Phoenix5, embarking on the next phase of her career as an advisor, coach, speaker, and mentor, evangelizing a new mindset: Stop Settling®. Phoenix5 transforms individuals and organizations holistically in an accelerated way with maximum return. Stop Settling builds on that vision by offering a sustainable alternative to the work-life balance myth through a simple composite StrataGEM® charting that frees companies and professionals from giving in and giving up on sustainable success. With that in mind, Dana has begun coaching and advising an elite and like-minded team of Fortune, Staffing, and Digital Platform leaders, while collaborating with thought leaders and innovators of all kinds, to revolutionize the way we work and lead the voice of the new talent movement. She is a Founder and Global Staffing Evangelist for SOAR and also serves as a member of the advisory boards for Opolis, Reboot Accel, VNDLY, Shiftgig, and LNQ Systems. https://phoenix5th.com/

Host of upcoming Podcast It’s Never Too Late Bestselling Author of The Joy of Later Motherhood Certified Mental Strength Trainer A lot of Bettina's work centers around overcoming ageism (the one that's coming from the outside and the one that we do to ourselves) and how to pursue a dream even if we think we're getting too old to do it. We could take our conversation into many directions, like chronological age versus biological age. Since the summit, I took a blood test to test the length of my telomeres and find out my biological age. Turns out, my body is 6 years younger than my chronological age, even after the cancer journey, I had last year!  To learn more about Bettina and her journey, visit https://www.bettinagordon.com/about-bettina-gordon-wayne

Your organization’s culture: It’s either an asset or a liability. At this very moment, your culture is helping business performance. Or hurting it. http://5Frequencies.com FIVE FREQUENCIES (Logos Institute; June 26, 2019; Hardcover) demystifies culture, with proven and practical tools for leaders. Written by Jeff Grimshaw, Tanya Mann, Lynne Viscio, and Jennifer Landis of leadership consultancy MGStrategy https://mgstrat.com/ Five Frequencies answers one of the most critical questions facing leaders and organizations today: How do you turn into a sustainable source of competitive advantage? Based on 20 years of research, the answer couldn’t be clearer: Intentionally or unintentionally, leaders create culture through the signals they broadcast on Five Frequencies: 1. Their decisions and actions - It’s about showing more than telling, role modeling what you want to see more of, and operating “long-term greedy.” 2. What they reward and recognize - You always get more of what you reward and recognize. The authors reveal what behavioral economists say about making rewards and recognition truly motivating. 3. What they tolerate (or don’t) - Leaders and cultures are ultimately defined by what they do and don’t tolerate...even when it’s unpleasant. 4. How they show up informally - You must build trust and affiliation to make it easier to confront and solve problems—without egos getting in the way. 5. Their formal communications - Sometimes leaders think they can shape a strong culture simply with a robust formal communication program - that doesn’t work. But you can use formal communication to amplify your signals on the other frequencies—and the authors show you how. In Five Frequencies, the authors break down each frequency with several case studies and real-world examples of where leaders and companies have failed (such as Wells Fargo, Enron) and succeeded (the Detroit Fire Department and DBS Bank, Asia) and the specific reasons and action points related to each. Five Frequencies includes follow up assessments to show what’s working and why—so leaders can double-down on what’s effective, and recalibrate what isn’t.
