Through intentional breathing techniques\, we’ll work to release trapped emotions\, ease anxiety\, and promote a deep sense of calm and clarity. Whether you’re in need of stress relief\, a grounding reset\, or a new tool to better handle the demands of the industry\, this session is designed to give you exactly that. \nAttendees will leave with a deeper understanding of the nervous system\, tools to manage stress and anxiety\, and practical ways to integrate somatic breathwork into their daily routines—creating more balance and resilience in both personal and professional life. \nDon’t miss out on this opportunity to reset and reconnect with yourself\, so you can show up as your best\, most centered self for your clients and events. \nKey Takeaways: \n\nUnderstand how your nervous system responds to stress and how to regulate it\nLearn somatic breathwork techniques to release stress and anxiety\nDiscover ways to feel grounded and present\, even in high-pressure environments\nGain tools to manage burnout and shift from survival mode to thriving\nBe inspired and empowered by Sepideh Eivazi\, a leader in wellness integration for the hospitality industry and incorporating wellness to your event\n\nAbout Sepideh Eivazi: \nSepideh is the founder of Dawn of the Earth\, a unique platform that merges somatic breathwork with custom-crafted teas.

This FREE event is one not to be missed. Earn Continuing Education Credits and celebrate the convergence of creativity and technology. Register today to join us in Oceanside\, California. \nAgenda\n12:30 PM -1:00 PM Networking \n1:00 PM – 2:15 PM Live Event Stage Management Presentation with Troy J. Peters\, CTS \n2:15 PM – 2:30 PM Break \n2:30 PM – 3:30 PM The Emotionally Strong Leader Presentation with Carolyn Stern \n3:30 PM – 4:30 PM Networking and Happy Hour \nTo reserve your complimentary spot please visit: seaspro.com/leapconference \nKeynote: The Emotionally Strong Leader with Carolyn Stern \nAddressing the feelings of others in the workplace can be a terrifying proposition. For many leaders\, asking what lies behind the actions and reactions of their people is akin to opening Pandora’s box. They don’t want to find out what’s lurking inside. Many managers don’t know how to deal with- and they fear- their employees’ emotions. \nLeaders of these organizations have good reason to be scared. After all\, few of us know how to handle emotions (let alone handle them at work). Many of us have not learned how to tend to our feelings and those of others. So isn’t it better to sweep all those pesky emotions under the rug and carry on as if they don’t exist? The answer is an unequivocal no! \nInstead of spending time and money on dealing with the inappropriate behaviors and disrespectful communications stemming from emotional issues in your workplace\, you can get to the heart of those issues and deal with your feelings and the feelings of your people head-on. \nIn this session\, you will learn the emotional skills and mental strategies needed to be stronger and more intelligent than your feelings and help others learn to explore their emotions. Emotions should not be feared but celebrated. A wealth of amazing possibilities are available if we learn to harness the superpower of our emotions. \nLearning Objectives \n\nDiscover the systemic problems with ignoring emotions in the workplace.\nLearn why emotions matter and reduce the fear of tending to them at work.\nIdentify the emotional skills and mental strategies to be stronger than your feelings.\nGain a deeper awareness of your emotional makeup and how that helps and hurts your leadership effectiveness.\n\nCMP/CMM Renewal Units: 1.00 \n  \nShowcalling & Live Event Stage Direction with Troy J. Peters\, CTS\nWhether in-person\, virtual\, or hybrid\, the show caller or stage manager is responsible for directing an audio-visual multimedia experience that can have dozens or even hundreds of moving parts. From managing the onstage talent to the technical know-how\, you’ll learn how to engage in the best possible way with your onsite AV Team from the engineers\, show producers\, stage managers\, and even the audience\, to design and execute the perfect experiential live event. \nThis session will use real and relevant examples from recent events including presidential inaugurations\, major televised sporting events\, as well as more intimate\, but highly produced audience experiences. By working together\, we will talk through how to build a show flow\, anticipate challenges\, manage timelines\, and learn how to bring together your team behind the scenes. This is the perfect session for a seasoned event manager or team lead looking to better understand or even take on some stage management responsibilities\, or someone interested in production and looking for a path to design and direct their own events. \nLearning Objectives  \n\nUpon completion\, attendees will define the THREE types of equipment and operation going into any production. Source management\, processing\, and output. \nAs meeting planners and production leads\, we need to keep focused on TWO things… communication and timing. Through demonstration and group discussion we’ll build a show flow and line up all the deliverables.\nThe ONE mission critical piece of the live project is having active redundancies in place and ready to go. Hot backups and rehearsed “what-ifs” mean you’ll be set up for success\, even when challenges arise.\n\nCMP/CMM Renewal Units: 1.25 \nSponsored by:\nSEAS Productions\nPCMA Southwest and Pacific Chapter\nILEA San Diego\nOceanside Chamber of Commerce
