The Me YOU Want to Be

Personal Power & Confidence — Workshop

I've spent my life walking into stressful rooms where I wanted to do magnificent things — but I found it hard to do normal things. Like breathe. Have you had that experience?

This workshop goes deeper than a keynote ever can. Over a half-day or full-day session, your team doesn't just hear about personal power — they build it, practice it & walk out equipped with their own set of rules to live by. Using techniques honed from decades of acting, combined with new science about how to best be human & a dash of current engagement strategies, The Me YOU Want to Be helps participants create internal power in the moments where humans typically feel powerless.

What Your Team Will Walk Away Equipped With:

• Roger's Rules turned into THEIR rules — personal guidelines they create, practice & commit to in the room
• The science behind how your brain works under extreme stress — & practical tools to overcome fear, anxiety & nervousness (practiced in real time, not just explained)
• Hands-on exercises that build a bigger, better, more powerful version of themselves while under pressure
• A personal action plan with accountability built in — not just inspiration, but a roadmap they'll actually follow

Best For: Leadership development programs, teams navigating change or uncertainty, professional development days, emerging leader cohorts & any group that needs more than a spark — they need lasting transformation.

Format: Half-day (3 hours) or full-day (6 hours). Includes interactive exercises, small-group breakouts & individual reflection. Room setup: cabaret/rounds preferred for maximum interaction.

"Our Better Together Engagement Workshop was an ASTOUNDING TRIUMPH!
We observed a SIGNIFICANT SURGE OF ENGAGEMENT throughout the Region." 
— Robert MacDonald, Regional Director, PIPSC

Pressure Cooker Confidence

Confidence Under Pressure — Workshop

When the stakes rise, your people don't need more pressure — they need more inner power.

This workshop builds resilience, clarity & confidence under real-world conditions. Unlike a keynote where participants absorb the concepts, this format gives your team the space to practice them — in a safe, supportive setting where failure is part of the learning. Roger facilitates hands-on exercises that simulate high-pressure moments, then gives participants the tools & techniques to navigate them with calm strength.

What Your Team Will Walk Away Equipped With:

• Practical stress-response techniques they've actually practiced — not just heard about
• The science behind how the brain works under extreme pressure — & real tricks to override the panic response
• Resilience-building exercises designed for high-demand environments
• A personal pressure toolkit: their own rules, strategies & commitments for staying grounded when it matters most

Best For: High-pressure industries (finance, healthcare, law, tech), teams in transition or restructuring, leadership cohorts preparing for bigger roles & any group that regularly faces high-stakes moments.

Format: Half-day (3 hours) or full-day (6 hours). Includes scenario-based practice, partner exercises & individual action planning. Room setup: cabaret/rounds preferred.

Magnetic Communication

Magnetic Communication — Workshop

Networking can fill our hearts with dread. Roger invents new ways of sweating when it comes to networking situations — & he doesn't think he's the only one.

This workshop goes beyond the keynote experience to give your team real practice in becoming magnetic communicators. Through structured exercises, role-play & guided reflection, participants don't just learn the principles of magnetic communication — they practice them with each other in the room. By the end of the session, they've already started building the habits that will transform the way they connect.

What Your Team Will Walk Away Equipped With:

• Personal rules they've created & practiced that guide them toward magnetic communication in any setting
• The lived confidence that "the more fun YOU have, the more fun THEY have" — driven into their bones through experience, not lecture
• Hands-on practice turning networking & connecting with strangers from fearful to fun
• A new relationship with the rooms they used to dread — because they've already proven to themselves it works

Best For: Sales & client-facing teams, networking-heavy industries, leadership development programs, conferences where connection matters most & any team that needs to build stronger relationships — internally or externally.

Format: Half-day (3 hours) or full-day (6 hours). Includes partner exercises, group challenges & real-time communication practice. Room setup: flexible — works in cabaret, classroom or open floor.

"Roger changed how we show up in conversations — we actually listen now!”

"The feedback from our Virtual Leaders Summit is stellar!! Thank you Roger!!"

How to Create Engagement

The Age of Engage — Workshop

This isn't a session about engagement — it's a full immersion in creating it.

Where the keynote demonstrates engagement & lights the spark, this workshop gives your team the time, structure & guided practice to build real engagement skills they can take back to their teams, meetings & organizations. Data from Gallup, Harvard & Global Trends in Engagement show that a little focus on engagement can turbocharge bottom-line results — increased productivity, better communication, stronger team bonds, deeper learning & higher retention.

In this workshop, your team won't just experience engagement. They'll learn how to create it themselves — & they'll practice doing it before they leave the room.

What Your Team Will Walk Away Equipped With:

• A clear understanding of WHY engagement is so powerful — & the practical skills to create it on purpose
• Hands-on practice designing engaging moments for their own teams, meetings & events
• The confidence to harness engagement for improved creativity, productivity & bottom-line results
• A team engagement action plan they've built together — with accountability & next steps baked in

Best For: Corporate culture-building, management & leadership cohorts, organizations redesigning how they meet & collaborate, teams ready to stop being passive & start being creators of engagement. PIPSC has booked this experience 11 years running. First West Credit Union, 8 years annually across multiple divisions. That's not a trend — it's proof.

Format: Half-day (3 hours) or full-day (6 hours). Includes team-based engagement design challenges, small-group practice & a collaborative action-planning session. Room setup: cabaret/rounds required for maximum group interaction.
