Topics for Dr Rebecca Chabot, PhD

  • Daily habits for wellness
    Mental fitness requires training in the same way that physical fitness does. In this talk, Rebecca will introduce evidence-based wellness practices that, when practiced regularly, deliver significant health benefits such as reducing anxiety and depression and improving sleep. Participants will learn practical techniques and strategies to cope with stress, to regulate emotions, to heal past hurts, and to embrace change which empower them to take action to increase their mental health and fitness. This training has been highly effective to help individuals as well as teams in the workplace to stress less and accomplish more while feeling happier and healthier.
  • Mindset for success
    Changing your mindset can change your life. A mindset is a set of assumptions or beliefs that influences everything you see and do. Studies have shown that mindset directly affects not only mood and behaviour but also physiology. Rebecca will discuss the latest research on mindset and explain the difference between fixed and growth mindsets. She will then offer practical tips for identifying and changing those mindsets that limit you, so you can better achieve success, both at work and at home.
  • Breathwork techniques to reduce stress
    Everyone can learn to harness the superpower of the breath. In this session, participants will learn the basic science around breathing and why learning to breathe better is important. They will be guided through a variety of basic breathing practices and techniques that will introduce them to the power of the breath to improve mental and physical health. Breathing is a powerful, readily available relaxation tool that can divert the acute stress response and return the nervous system to its relaxed, restful state. A regular practice of breathing exercises has been shown to reduce anxiety, high blood pressure, depression, PTSD, anger, tension and chronic pain.
  • The science of happiness
    This session will provide the latest evidence-based research on factors that contribute to happiness as determined by the fields of neuroscience and positive psychology. Rebecca will introduce the top 8 factors that most influence overall personal happiness, such as cultivating positivity and practicing gratitude, and will offer practical strategies on how to boost the hormones of happiness and contentment daily. Research clearly indicates that we can override the brain's default mechanisms towards negativity and become happier people.
  • Habit hacking
    Our subconscious mind influences most of our decisions, choices, and thoughts. It regulates at least 95% of the choices that we make each day including our habits. Rebecca discusses the latest research around habit formation and reduction, and how real-life changes come from taking many small steps to alter your habits. She will give practical advice and tips on how to tap into the subconscious mind to create good new habits and break bad ones.
  • Brain health for mental wellness
    The human brain is a 1.4 kg supercomputer that controls everything in your life, including how you think, feel, and act. Taking care of your brain is essential for staying mentally healthy as mental illnesses are brain illnesses; however, many of us are unaware of what is good for the brain and what is not. In this powerful and informative session, Rebecca compiles the current research around brain health. She will discuss risk factors that damage the mind and memory and then offer insights on how to heal your mental health issues and strengthen your memory by paying careful attention to a healthy, brain-boosting lifestyle.
  • Mindful communication
    Learning mindful communication helps participants become more effective and skilful in their professional lives, with positive effects on personal life as well. The currency of communication is understanding, and to understand anything, we must be present; however, skilful communication and leading with presence take training. To learn to stay grounded, clear and embodied in a conversation, to be mindful of nonverbal cues, to listen with intention and attention, and to be curious are all skills that are discussed and practiced in this workshop to create deeper connection and opportunities for growth and engagement.
