Your Balanced Life Taco
Your employees are pulled in a million directions, and that is before they even come to work. When they do finally settle in is their head fully in the game? Your employees’ home, health, kids, relationships all come to work with them and that can make it difficult for employees to fully engage, especially when they are not feeling their best and are stressed.
In this Keynote, Chef and Health Coach, Anna Klimmek addresses these issues while equating some of life’s most difficult parts to building a taco. From focusing on a strong foundation, your tortilla, to finding that special sauce and all things in between that make life, and tacos so full. Inspired with a new taste for life, your attendees will find small simple ways to create more room in their lives for what they decide truly matters…while building a taco.

Breakfast
You’ve heard it all before. It’s the most important meal of the day. Also, the toughest to get on the go and STILL be healthy.

From grab-and-go options to looking at breakfast in a whole new way, (dinner for breakfast anyone?) and the one reason it might be ok to SKIP it all together.
Power Snacks
For me, it’s 3pm, that time of day when my body is just sort of confused. It’s tired, and ready to be done, but nowhere near the end of the day. For others it’s just after a workout or mid-morning coffee and muffin run. No matter when your low hits, or your munchies set in if you are prepared it doesn’t have to derail you from your healthy eating goals.
