Luncheon Keynote
The Business of Sleep
Want to know the best time of day to have a meeting, engage in a difficult conversation or have surgery? Turns out, the quality of our daily performance is greatly determined by time of day and the amount of good sleep we accumulated the night before.
In this fun, eye-opening keynote, attendees will learn how to work with their body’s circadian rhythms and design their day in a more productive, less stressful way. We have packaged the latest research on fatigue and sleep to help funeral home owners and their staff feel happier and more productive.
This session covers the following topics:
- Sleep is one of the best antidotes for depression, anxiety and stress
- Customer service, errors and productivity are all impacted by time of day
- Which silent health issues are keeping you awake at night
- Proven techniques to fall and stay asleep
- The role diet and alcohol play in getting good sleep
- Top performing CEOs and sports teams are making sleep a priority in their business model
