Personal Details

Bio

Dr. Marcia Reynolds, president of Covisioning LLC is the master of teaching others how to engage in powerful conversations that connect, influence, and activate change, even when emotions are strong. From government agencies and large multi-national companies, to coaching schools in Italy, Turkey, Russia, China, Kazakhstan and across North America, she’s been hired by organizations around the globe, not just because of her highly engaging presentations but because of ability to change people’s minds.

This highly sought-after behavioral scientist is happily obsessed with uncovering the latest discoveries in neuro/behavioral research and putting them into practical applications. With a doctoral degree in Organizational Psychology, two master’s degrees in Education and Communications, Marcia’s expertise ranges from holding powerful conversations to activating the emotions of passion and courage at work.

Having Marcia on your side is like giving you x-ray vision into the hearts and minds of others. Her innovative and highly successful strategies will guide you to being the memorable leader who helps others reach their highest and best selves. She’s the voice inside your head that says, “Make sure people are excited to see you when you enter the room, and even more encouraged when you leave!”

Then when you face difficult conversations, Dr. Marcia Reynolds offers solutions on how to flip defensiveness, create rapport, and have everyone involved experience the elusive “optimal productive state” where they deeply connect and imagine unique solutions together.

CORPORATE EXPERIENCE: Marcia worked in Leadership Development and Organizational Change for 16 years in healthcare and high tech corporations prior to starting her own business. Her training and culture change work was instrumental in taking one company from near bankruptcy to the #1 stock market success in three years.

She created Covisioning LLC in 1995 and has since provided training and executive coaching in a multitude of industries, from banking, financial services, food manufacturing, energy and technology to government agencies and global professional associations. Her work in building high-trust, high-growth communities has consistently garnered remarkable results. There is only one way to define Marcia: game-changing.

Dr. Marcia Reynolds is on a mission: to have leaders feel that their greatest purpose is how well they successfully enrich the lives of others. With Marcia’s guidance, you can outsmart your brain and make a powerful difference one meaningful conversation at a time.

Outsmart Your Brain: How to Master Your Mind When Emotions Take the Wheel

You can either be the master of your brain or a victim of your emotional reactions. Your brain can get the best of you when you are under pressure, irritated, or just plain busy. This keynote includes interactive exercises to immediately help you ease your tension, settle arguments, and help everyone you are with succeed.

~ Use Reflective Intelligence to “catch your emotions” before you react.
~ Determine the circumstances that are likely to trigger your emotions and judgments.
~ Apply an Advanced Reframing Process to rise above judgments, see beyond frustrations, and uncover hidden possibilities

The Discomfort Zone: How to Turn Defensiveness, Stonewalling, and Nervous Laughter into Meaningful C

Managing difficult conversations and knowing how to get good results from emotionally charged moments are critical skills for everyone. If done the right way, you can change lives as well as minds of the people you are with. And they always remember the leader who had the courage to help them see how powerful they can be.

Do you want to be the leader who made a difference in the lives of your employees?

~ Create rapport, connection, and trust using the “The Safety Bubble” technique
~ Decode disruptive patterns using the “Discomfort Zone Model” to foster reflective thinking, frame-shattering awareness, and growth beyond limitations
~ Improve employee engagement, creativity, and bottom-line results with your conversational powers

Success Strategies for Women with Dreams

Most women work hard to realize their highest potential yet the pursuit often leaves them feeling more exhausted than proud. The resolution isn’t in managing time. The challenge is to focus their energy on their purpose, to choose who they want to be and how they want to feel when speaking up, and to maximize their gifts and talents without being overwhelmed by commitments. When women learn and practice these abilities, they feel more balanced and satisfied even when their day is full. The audience will learn how to:

~ Release the Burden of Greatness while maintaining passion and drive
~ Identify and claim inner strengths to accelerate resiliency and ongoing achievement
~ Strengthen relationships, maximize influence, and create a powerful presence by choosing how to show up and be heard

Whether you’re an executive, manager, team leader, or contributor, emotions must be considered when resolving difficulties and motivating performance. When emotions are triggered, logic can be lost. Whether it’s your own brain that is deceiving you or it’s the reactive brain in the person you are talking to that is hindering progress, you have to know how to work with emotions to negotiate solutions that work for everyone involved.

(View workshop agenda)

What is the difference between a group of individuals and a team? A team works in harmony, connecting the strengths of the individuals with the shared purpose of the team. Without this alignment, the team can hurt productivity instead of inspiring it, especially if the team is made of smart, strong high-achievers. This presentation shares the essential steps for creating the glue that bonds individuals so they become a top performing team that enjoys working together.
