Tickets are now on sale for the final event of the Fox Cities Chamber’s 150th anniversary year, The Connection. The Connection will feature two dynamic speakers who will engage and motivate attendees, as well as a delicious lunch, member recognition, and networking opportunities.
Speaker Paula Houlihan, is a seasoned former corporate high achiever and in-demand keynote speaker and executive coach, transitioned from negotiating multi-million-dollar insurance cases to becoming a stress-busting authority. With expertise in reducing stress and burnout, Paula’s keynotes and coaching redefine success, offering practical strategies and her Choice Management™ Model to achieve sustainable success and a happier company culture.
Paula holds a bachelor’s degree in psychology from the University of Wisconsin at Stevens Point. She is a Certified Intrinsic Life Coach and lifetime member of Psi Chi, the International Honor Society of Psychology. She lives in Stevens Point, Wisconsin with her husband Tamas. Her greatest loves are family and travel. And she keeps a bottle of champagne chilled in her refrigerator because life always offers something to celebrate!
Speaker Kristin Bock works with professionals to leverage nonverbal cues so they can stand out in person, in presentations, and in the digital world. Kristin—aka Woman Determined to Skyrocket Your Success Using the Science of Body Language—is the founder of Body Language Blueprints, an online platform for enhancing communication skills.
Kristin is on a mission to help leaders provide the nonverbal respect everyone wants and needs. In 2018, Bock left her job of 25+ years to pursue her love of body language and believes it’s more imperative today than ever. With workplace dynamics rapidly changing and evolving, she’s committed to teaching professionals and leaders its critical importance in building connection and promoting inclusion. Kristin believes that showing civility, including to those with differing viewpoints, is needed now more than ever. Or, as her grandpa used to say, “We’re all quirky different, so you better know how to relate!”
Kristin partners with leaders to improve their self-awareness and interactions with others. She has given numerous talks about connecting with people virtually, has coached TEDx speakers, and has been featured on The List. Kristin self-identifies as a “Nonverbal Nerd” and hopes to one day be viewed as cool by her children. She is a thought-bubble enthusiast and only once did she meet a seven-layer bar she didn’t like.
