Helping leaders & teams build stronger connections, healthier habits, and a workplace culture people love! Hi there, I’m Manda Riley (she/her), keynote speaker, workshop facilitator, social worker, and founder of Ice Cream Social Work. I help teams fix burnout and communication breakdowns with easy to implement strategies
— no brain freeze, just breakthroughs! Here's my take:
✨Workplace wellness is achievable through simple, everyday actions.
✨Understanding how people communicate is the key to better teamwork and less burnout.
✨Small shifts in culture can create big, lasting impacts on morale and productivity.
✨EVERYONE has a role in creating healthier, happier workplaces. I am all in for: keynotes, workshops, conferences, team building, retreats and off-sites, leadership and professional development programs. In-person or virtual, I am here to support you!
✨ Signature Keynote: Workplace Wellness: It’s Like WiFi...When It’s Down, Everything’s a Struggle ✨
A refreshing, real-world approach to workplace wellness. With humor, heart, and plenty of practical tools, we will explore simple, culture-shifting strategies organizations can use to reduce burnout, increase connection, and build healthier, happier teams — no budget-breaking initiatives required! Audiences leave with real tools, fresh perspective, and a renewed sense of what’s possible when wellness becomes a shared responsibility — not just a buzzword.
✨ Signature Workshop: Shapes for Effective Communication ✨
A triangle, a squiggle, and a circle walk into a meeting… I help your team make sense of what happens next. This interactive, high impact workshop uses the PsychoGeometrics® "shapes" model to decode how we communicate, handle stress, and collaborate at work. It’s a research-backed, instantly applicable, exceptionally fun-to-learn tool for fixing miscommunication, improving collaboration, and turning personality differences into team strengths. After this workshop, your colleagues will leave with:
✨ A clear understanding of their own communication style
✨ Tools to flex and adapt when working with diverse personalities
✨Actionable strategies and a shared language for team collaboration
✨ Fresh insight into how stress impacts behavior — and how to respond productively
TLDR; your team will be more connected, more productive, and way more fun to work with. Book me to speak!
