SPEAKING & WORKSHOP TOPICS
Decode Greatness defines who you are, how you act, and what is great about you in all aspects of your life. When you know yourself–your characteristics, core values, core needs, strengths, and dreams–you begin to understand your greatness and living in that potential.
CONFLICT
Managing Conflict Within My Team
Are you frustrated by how your team is performing? Are you consistently putting out fires that other people can't seem to manage? Do you spend all of your time managing people and not feeling productive? If so, understanding what the triggers are that lead to conflict through understanding people's temperaments is the key principles in reducing misunderstandings and managing difficult situations.
Having Difficult Conversations
Do your palms get sweaty or do you have a knot in your stomach every time that you have to have an uncomfortable conversation? Nobody likes having difficult conversations butsometimes these types of conversations are unavoidable. You want to have tools to prevent these conversations from escalating, so that you can move forward with a plan of action or conclusion. This is best achieved by having practical steps that can be used in any difficult conversation to have a more harmonious outcome.
EQUIPPING TEAMS
Communicate Powerfully
Every day in every way we are in constant communication with the people around us, with our environment, and in our everyday actions. Effective interactions with our team mates can lead to a powerful team that works in cooperation by understanding each other's communication style. There are always nuances on how you communicate from your non-verbal communication, to the tone you use, to the words you use. If you understood and used these nuances, you would create a team that feels supported, understood and was engaged.
Culture of Greatness
I believe that greatness is not an achievement but a mindset that you obtain and must maintain. If you could define greatness for yourself and each one of your team members, how would that change your culture? If you created a mindset that was open and engaging in each other's success, you would create unstoppable teams. We spend more time at work and with our colleagues then we sometimes spend with our family and friends. Therefore, the culture that we live in at work defines our success at work.
LEADERSHIP
Leading in Difficult Circumstances
Both our organizations and the people within our organizations go through difficult times for various reasons. They may be financial reasons, personal circumstances, reorganizational circumstances or re-evaluating the way forward. But one thing is clear – if you don’t have tools and understand the principles of leading, the people and the organization will not pull through. Learn 6 principles of leading through difficult circumstances and tools to effectively implement them.
Attitude and Leadership
Being a part of the leading edge in any industry requires innovation, research and development and customer service. And yet, even if you have all of these effectively working, you may still miss the edge altogether. Why you ask? For one simple reason: We get hired for our skills and we get fired for our attitude. As a leader your attitude has a ripple effect on the entire organization from the staff that directly report to you to your front-line staff. Therefore, having just a good attitude isn't enough. You need an attitude of greatness to lead others to greatness.
Create Influence by Connecting
“All great leaders are influencers, all influencers our leaders.” Are you an influencer in your organization or with your peers? If not, is that something that you strive for? Do you understand what an influencer is? By becoming aware of, understanding, and implementing the laws of connecting and the laws of Influence, you can be the catalyst for change, growth, innovation, and have more success.
PERSONAL GROWTH
Navigating Failure
Those who succeed are one step beyond their greatest failure and facing their greatest fear. If you had a different way of looking at your failures, what could you achieve? Failuresin our lives can either paralyze us or they can spring us forward to new levels of personal awareness, success, and achievements. With the right tools, you can look at fear differently and navigate failures as stepping stones to yoursuccess.
Wisdom from My Hot Tub
I invite you to take this short journey with me to understand the wisdom I learned from her (my hot tub). The difference theselessons have made in my life, the impact that it made in my work, in my family, and the world around me. These have become guiding principles in everything I do; how I run my business, how I coach, and how others see me.
