Mind Your Monkeys

Presented by Jason A. Hunt
Hosted by HYPE (Helping Young Professionals Evolve)
Sponsored by Blethen Berens
Open to professionals of all ages and industries

Feeling overwhelmed? Always the go-to person? Wondering how everyone else’s problems somehow end up on your plate?

In Mind Your Monkeys, leadership speaker Jason A. Hunt challenges the mindset that says you have to fix everything to prove your value. Early in your career, it’s easy to believe that saying “yes,” jumping in, and carrying every task makes you indispensable. In reality, constantly taking on other people’s “monkeys” leads to stress, burnout, and stalled growth—for you and your team.

This engaging and practical session will help you:

• Stop rescuing and start empowering

• Delegate with clarity and confidence

• Hold others accountable without micromanaging

• Build a culture of ownership and stronger critical thinking

When you learn to “mind your monkeys” the right way, you protect your time, strengthen your influence, and step into a more sustainable style of leadership.

Jason A. Hunt is a nationally recognized leadership speaker and author who has worked with more than 35,000 leaders across organizations large and small. Through humor, story, and actionable strategy, he equips leaders to move beyond authority and into influence that actually sticks.

Pizza and salad lunch will be provided, making this a great opportunity to step away from the office, connect with other professionals, and invest in your growth over the lunch hour.

Whether you’re early in your career, managing a team, or simply looking to grow your leadership impact, this session will leave you with tools you can use immediately.
