You’ve set your goal. You’re on deadline. Success is now within reach.
Your team has pulled together. They come early, work late and rarely miss a beat. But, even the best teams… even your team… can experience “temporary burnout.”
Temporary burnout is a by-product of successful behavior. It happens when your team focuses their energy for extended periods of time. Maybe it’s launching a big initiative, implementing a new computer system, or a recommitment to customer relationships. The result is always the same: stress
Stress is a hidden destroyer of workplace productivity. It remains invisible. Left unchecked, it can lead to the development of a far more serious condition known as: Adultitis™, which can lead to setbacks in sales, productivity and customer service.
Is there a cure? Yes, it’s called “Escape Adulthood” with Kim and Jason Kotecki. Kim and Jason are experts at helping individuals and organizations become more productive by turning stress into laughter and having more fun each and every day.

Escape Adulthood in the Workplace
This topic can be delivered as a 60-90 minute keynote, and can also be customized as a 2 to 6-hour workshop. (our Agent of Customer Delight) to discuss scheduling an appearance at your next meeting.
Stressed Employees Are Costing You Money
Stress is wreaking havoc on our overall health and bottom line profits all over America. Three out of every four doctor visits are stress related. Ouch. In the U.S. alone, employers spend $7,500 annually per employee on stress-related compensation claims, reduced productivity, absenteeism, employee turnover, and soaring health insurance costs. Double ouch. Employee turnover, currently at 25%, is a major source of lost revenue for today’s businesses. Recently, nearly one-in-four workers said they are currently dissatisfied with their jobs and six-in-ten plan to leave for other pursuits in the next two years (CareerBuilder.com). It's time to stop the revolving door.
A Golden Opportunity for You
With today's pace being faster than ever, many things are being left by the wayside: healthy communication and teamwork, curiosity and innovation, an enthusiastic attitude, an ability to think big, and a genuine passion for one's work. It’s time to tackle the costs of stress once and for all by addressing the root of the problem: Adultitis, that dreaded condition that causes super-high stress levels and leaves its victims jaded, bored, and unproductive. Kim and Jason Kotecki assure audiences that stress doesn't have to be a constant challenge and your group will love to hear how they can overcome Adultitis.
In today's ultra-competitive economy, a productive, healthy, loyal, Adultitis-free staff can serve as a big edge over the competition. It is said that the average four-year-old laughs around 400 times a day, compared to the average adult who only laughs 15 times a day. Adultitis tricks us into missing out on the best parts of life and causes us to take ourselves WAY too seriously. Kim and Jason are here to change that!
Kim and Jason can ignite a spark in your organization that will carry on long after the presentation is over. They have the uncanny ability to give your people permission to have fun, which is a tremendous catalyst for team building and better customer service. Think about it: when people are having fun at work, they get along much better. Management issues are at a minimum, meaning more energy can be focused on opportunities for growth. And ultimately, it's your customers (and your bottom line) that benefit from the enthusiasm, cohesiveness, and spirit of fun emanating from your organization.
Relevant to the Intergenerational Workplace
For the first time in history, we have four generations in our workplace simultaneously (WWII Generation, Baby Boomers, Generation Xers, and Millennials). In today's competitive workplace, it's become even more important to connect to young workers that are looking for a culture that supports creativity and different work habits. Your culture needs to feed the spirit of your employees and fire them up. With lots of experience with audiences ranging in age from 5 to 105, Kim and Jason have the remarkable ability to simultaneously engage all ages.
Also, if you’re looking to offer a fun, stress-reducing program for your attendees and their families, they provide lively and lighthearted programs that captivate both adults and children. If you ever host family events, you’ll want to book them for a one of a kind presentation that will be a hit with all ages. Show your people that you really care about the importance of family and the ever-present issue of work-life balance. Perfect for annual dinners, corporate trips, and family days!
