RPC, ECE, PhD PLAY

BC, CANADA
Wendy challenges perceptions and beliefs, motivates action, and inspires and empowers you to go from Average to Awesome!

For more than 30 years, Wendy Foster has been using symbols, humour, and play to create unique and effective learning environments for Professional Development. She uses the foundation of Early Childhood Education and combines it with the principles of Emotional Intelligence, Positive Psychology, and Social intelligence to transform lives both personally and professionally.

Wendy offers specific strategies that challenge thoughts and beliefs, motivate action, and inspire and empower you to embrace change. She leads you through perspective-changing presentations on effective leadership, improving relationships, creativity and innovation, and team dynamics.

Often referred to as the "Energizer Bunny", Wendy infects you with her unbridled passion and enthusiasm and demonstrates the power of positive attitudes for yourself and your associates/team, including decreasing stress and illness and increasing joy and productivity.

Wendy Foster's techniques for improving lives, both personally and professionally, are incredibly effective, yet extremely simple and easy to apply.

As a Play Expert, Wendy relates to the heart and soul of companies such as Google, whose founders built the organization around the idea that work should be challenging but fun. The entire culture of the work environment at Google is set up to inspire and empower curiosity, creativity, and play, which converts to better leadership, improved communication, team performance, customer service, and increasing profitability. Wendy's presentations link the art and science of play to success in life and business.

She is also the CEO of The G.E.M. Project - Giving Empowering Moments - a global movement for gratitude, acknowledgement, giving, receiving, and paying it forward.

Business is all about relationships, which are affected by our feelings. (We do business with people we know, like, and trust.) Our feelings affect our thoughts (perceptions), which affect our behaviours. Our behaviours determine our actions and our actions determine our results. When we change our perceptions, we change the way we think, and when we change the way we think, life itself immediately changes. That is the power of Play!

Wendy Foster customizes her presentations to suit the needs of her clients. She draws upon her education and experiences as an Entrepreneur, Retail Business Owner, Coach, Counsellor, Early Childhood Educator, Speaker, Author, Facilitator, a Black Belt in Karate, a scuba diver, a sky diver, and of course her PhD in PLAY!
