Her sessions are informative, practical, and always well-received, and her expertise has landed her a regular role on CNN’s The Lead with Jake Tapper, where she helps a national audience find moments of peace in these stressful times. She also has hosted three popular courses for LinkedIn Learning, geared toward office professionals and covering various aspects of emotional and cognitive health.
Dr. Bonior was hard at work during the pandemic to create virtual trainings and talks specifically designed to boost resilience and coping during COVID-19, and with the life disruptions since then, the demand never let up: availability for her custom-designed presentations books quickly. Don’t see what you’re looking for below? Every month she designs presentations from scratch that are tailored to unique needs, from the financial costs of mental health problems in employees, to the trauma and grief of losing a coworker (as two examples of what she’s working on now.)
Think your budget won’t cover a keynote or training session? Inquire about booking a virtual fireside chat for your small group, or a town hall for your large group. This is an hour-long interactive and more casual conversation where Dr. Andrea takes questions and offers support— all with the same warmth, expertise, and wit of her prepared presentations, and double the spontaneity. Because there is no formal content preparation, this is the most budget-friendly of Dr. Bonior’s offerings. She is proud to provide this for a variety of organizations who are looking to provide mental health and wellness support to their members or employees but cannot commit to a training.
