Lonnie Mayne: Igniting Human Potential to Create Meaningful Experiences

Join international speaker and leadership authority Lonnie Mayne, as he shares the powerful message of his “Red Shoes Living” philosophy, based on 30 years of executive leadership working with the most prominent brands in the world. Learn the secrets to catapulting your local Habitat’s success, creating standout customer experiences, and building a highly engaged culture at your affiliate. Lonnie has worked with some of the top brands in the world including Nike, Bose, Bank One, Saks Fifth Avenue, The British Citizen Awards, Express, Ford Motor Company, Spire Energy, Enterprise and many more.

You will learn what the top-level executives are doing to personalize their day-to-day interactions to create next-level performance in their leaders and teams. Lonnie will inspire and challenge you to thread this philosophy into your current culture. You will learn how to inspire every individual to stand out for the positive in how they work and how they live. It's about creating high-level performance organizations and changing lives. The concept is unlike anything you’ve ever seen before and produces lasting results that are unmatched by any other program. As part of this presentation, Lonnie will share a portion of his newest keynote born out of the pandemic; Red Shoes Rising. In life, we are faced with opportunities and adversities and we need to choose whether or not we step into these choices.

Today, companies are lining up to bring the message to their employees because it has an instant influence on the customer experience, company culture, leadership performance and the way people live their lives. There has never been a better time than now to hear this message.

Zumba is a total-body cardio and aerobic workout that provides a large calorie burn for all fitness levels. With its roots in Latin-inspired dance moves, you will shake and shimmy your way through the fastest hour of your day! Maggie has been a Zumba lover and instructor for over 10 years.

Our breath is like a musical instrument that needs to be tuned. Funny thing is that we will only know when it’s out of tune when we take time to check-in with our internal engine – also known as our mind and body. In one hour, we will reconnect with our breath, ground in our bodies (while seated; with beginner standing poses), and visualize our inner (re)purpose. Session is available to all body types, and will offer variations to make the practice of yoga work for everybody. Beginners are always welcome.

Props: Yoga mat, chair/ desk, blanket/towel and tennis balls (massage balls or rolling pin is good, too).
