ENGAGE & ENERGIZE ATTENDEES
WITH DR. KIM
BEHIND THE MASK. BEYOND SAFETY: ATTENDEE ENGAGEMENT & WELL-BEING
As the meetings industry looks ahead to rebuild and recover, the focus has extended beyond physical safety, pandemic proofing, and tech solutions to the human element – the human operating system – with attendee engagement and well-being at the epicenter.
If you're looking to:
- Revitalize your virtual and in-person meetings and reduce event fatigue,
- Provide healthy meeting experiences that get attendees out of their chairs and moving,
- Offer novel sponsorship and networking opportunities (virtual and in-person), and
- Inspire audiences so that they are still talking about the event well after it's over
Then Dr. Kim is your attendee engagement and well-being speaker!

Meet Dr. Kim, your Wellness Warrior!
I'm a health behavior scientist, professional speaker, health/life coach and certified yoga instructor. I integrate mind-body breaks into my talks and use in-person and virtual meetings as the perfect "teachable moment" to show attendees how to stay balanced and focused. I'm on a mission to infuse ENERGY into events and make SELF-CARE easy and accessible - one micro-step, one byte at a time.
My Byte-Size Wellness approach is the culmination of my 30+ year research - academic career in exercise/health promotion, disease management, aging, addictions and tobacco control. I have a Ph.D. in Community Health from the University of Toronto where I was an adjunct professor and I was a former National Cancer Institute of Canada postdoctoral fellow. I worked at renowned teaching hospitals, consulted to pharmaceutical companies and health organizations about the patient disease journey experience, and taught chronic disease exercise classes.
I put my research into practice and created a way to make wellness sustainable. I understand what influences health behaviors and habits and what motivates people to change. I know what combination of evidence-based strategies and approaches are needed to help people develop lifelong healthy habits. It starts with shifting from an "all-or-nothing" mindset to a micro-break, micro-habit mindset and embracing wellness as a journey, a lifestyle, not a destination.
Tweaking one habit has a ripple effect, triggering positive changes in other inter-related health areas: diet, sleep, exercise, mindfulness and mental health. It's the small behaviors - (like taking mind-body breaks) the small changes in routines, when repeated consistently lead to healthy habits that have long-lasting results.
The benefits of byte-size wellness are cumulative --- all micro-steps, all bytes add up to a full meal!
To prioritize attendees' well-being is a special gift to include at conferences
My gifts are my takeways: actionable tips and EAT, SLEEP, MOVE, BREATHE resources to help audiences sustain the wellness momentum post-conference. Participants will leave my breaks and talks with self-care practices that they can quickly and easily implement into their busy working days and everyday lives.
The result: More energy. Less stress. Improved self-esteem. Better work-life balance. Resilience. Agility. Vitality.
I WANT THESE GIFTS!

Dr. Kim’s MPI Global webinar was fantastic - an engaging and informative way to spend my Friday afternoon. I learned quick and easy ways to integrate self-care and movement into my daily routines, starting with chair abs and “nappuccino” power sleep naps.

If this presentation was a car, it would easily be a BMW 8-Series of M6 convertible! Amazing use of the car metaphor, chat engagement and interactivity, not to mention enthusiasm!

We booked Kim for a wellness webinar for a health educator association. Her delivery style is very engaging and fun. She is very interactive while delivering very solid, practical and actionable evidenced-based content. Our client was very happy and looking into doing more with Kim.

For our 3-day Inclusion Virtual Event, Dr. Kim created a program for our Wellness Break which was attended by over 550 participants. During these breaks, Dr. Kim guided attendees through stretches and mindfulness activities to reconnect and recharge. By adding in a Wellness Break after a few educational sessions, it allowed attendees to get active but were also re-engaged for the rest of the conference. A win-win for everyone! Dr. Kim went above and beyond to give resources to attendees during and post-event, all awhile chatting with attendees live during her session. From a personal level, working with Dr. Kim was an extreme pleasure, as she was dedicated to giving SHRM the best product. Her passion and commitment showed in her work and we look forward with working with her at future SHRM Events.

I had the pleasure of working with Dr. Kim in November 2020 where she developed and presented a Wellness event for our NYC SHRM audience of HR leaders. This event, "Coach Yourself to Better Health, COVID 19 and Beyond" was nothing short of amazing! Topics featured were self-care in challenging times, and moving away from the 'all or nothing mindset' toward making small changes that result in cumulative lifestyle changes that equate to sustained health and wellness in personal, work and leadership roles. Dr. Kim's hour long virtual presentation was seamless, interactive, engaging and relevant. Dr. Kim generously shared her Covid-19 Self Care Survival Kit as a takeaway for all participants.

Dr. Kim led an excellent workshop on making online meetings more productive. Her tips on staying active at your desk and taking regular breaks really help to reduce the physical and mental strain of long meetings. She got the audience out of their seats and actively participating, which created a very different virtual meeting experience. What made the workshop even more useful were the many handouts and links to exercises that she generously provided. Dr. Kim leads fun, interactive workshops packed full of actionable advice. Highly recommended!

Dr. Kim commanded the room and effortlessly motivated everyone to participate. Her activities broke the ice with my neighbors and led to relationships well beyond the event.

We heard so many compliments about what a "cool program" we had today. Dr. Kim is not only high energy and an excellent speaker but her visuals and the audience interaction were spot on.

Kim provided an introduction to participants at the Palliative Conference I attended in April 2014 in Toronto. It was an intro to taking a break from your desk and to let us all know that sitting is the new smoking. Would love to have Dr.Kim (X-bytes) at our next symposium.

"“It is my sincerest pleasure to offer a review of Dr. Kim Bercovitz who delivered a wellness presentation for Walden University’s Summer 2021 National Faculty Meeting. Because of the Covid pandemic, we like most companies held our meetings virtually. That did not stop Dr. Kim from offering her wellness magic in the virtual environment. As she walked us through a series of wellness exercises, I was amazed at how impactful she was even virtually. Her high energy, pleasant voice, and style of delivery worked like magic and by the end of our session with her, I felt much better. If you are looking for a wellness expert to help you individually or organizationally, I encourage you to reach out to Dr. Kim. She is a fountain of information, holds deep expertise and skill, has a wonderful sense of humor, and even has an entire lounge filled with excellent resource materials that she makes available to her clients. Thanks, Dr. Kim!” "
