""A leader is only a leader when they say that they are a leader and then fully 'own' the consequences and requirements of being a leader"
Consider that the extent to which you say that you are a leader and then fully 'own' the consequences and requirements, is the extent to which you really are being a leader.

You are not alone.  I was there too. Ten years ago, I was making more money than probably most other business owners
and professionals do and yet I was feeling burned out - I felt like I had nothing left to give anymore. I inquired into how I could
resolve this situation and came upon a unique insight and then a set of practical tools based on this insight that actually worked
for thousands of my clients and participants since.  I want to share this insight and set of tools because I believe that they
will set people free of the imagined chains in their lives and their work.

Topic:
From Busy Bee to Queen Bee:
Outcome Based Management - A More Effective Paradigm in Personal & Team Time Management

Typical Audience Types:
Business Owners (any size of business), Professional Managers (any level), Corporate Executives, Entrepreneurs, Sales Professionals, Women Business Owners, Non Profits, Organizational Management or Leaders.

• Are you basking in the glory of quality time with your family or with yourself?
• Are you filling your hours with aimless work with aimless results ?

• How much of your work in a week adds to worthy outcomes?   In a month ?  In a year ?
• Are you soundly frustrated by the distractions that fling you off-course ?

You have a business or you run an organization or you work in one.  Either way, you are the kind of person who
loves to get things done and...done right.  Whether it is with your family or at work.  You know that you have the capacity
and yet something is missing.  With all respect: What is missing is kind of hard to see sometimes as your way of being and perceptions
may be the root of the problem in the first place. This presentation will shine some light shed some insight with tools on
an otherwise dark area for most people.

Topic: Owning the Store: Get Your Team Aligned & Focussed  

Typical Audience Types:
Business Owners (any size of business), Corporate Executives, Entrepreneurs, Professional Managers (any level),
Employees, Trainees.  (We recommend for any company presentation, that owners, managers and employees alike attend).

• Spending too much time explaining what to do to your team ?
  
• You know they are intelligent enough to get it, where is their commitment ?
  
•  If you are a committed employee, how come you can't seem to get your point across ?
• Are your employees complaining about the same thing that you do: "You just don't listen" ?
• Nobody wants to talk about the obvious problem "the dead rhinoceros in the room" ?
  
• In the worst cases, are they gossiping about everyone else ?
• Are you having employees who are un-coachable ?
• For both employees and employers: what are you tolerating ?  How long will you tolerate ?
  

Whenever I have trained people in corporations; no matter how well advertised the company is for being "the best in the business
for employee retention", I inevitably find some cracks in their ability to communicate and lead.  This does not mean that everything
is going wrong.  It means that people are committed to something and they are doing their best to work it out.  If they were not committed
to working it out, they would not be talking with me.  It is said that it is the job of most consultants to find out what is wrong.  I say
it is more important to find out what is missing and to put it in as fast as possible, releasing people from the endless cycle of wrong and right
into their natural and often intuitive passion and power to work together and make things happen.

Intentions of Presentation:

• To help you find out what is missing rather than wrong with the communications and leadership in your company
  
• To help instill the seeds of "ownership in the shop": the willingness to be fully proactive in the well being and productivity of the company
  

What you will gain from this engaging, ruthlessly compassionate, humorous and inspiring presentation:

• How to listen effectively no matter what is going on
  
• How to speak into and through the "filters" that others have to get your point across
  
• The distinction between True Commitment and No Commitment
  
• How to set up the tone and workability at the start of a working relationship
  
• How to hold people to account with grace
  
• How to coach people effectively
  
• As an employee and a manager, how to make requests effectively
  
• The difference between Trust and Reliability
• The best measure of a workable relationship: from a new paradigm for integrity

Topic:

including Inspiring and Selling from the Stage

I am consistently amazed (in silent awe) at how people blossom into their natural self expression and become the best speakers possible. I do mean it the way I say it.  "The best speakers possible" is apt because when one is full of natural self expression, one becomes a truly engaging and inspiring speaker; once they get their opinions about themselves and others out of the way.  This presentation is often moving and inspiring. Please bring Kleenex; lots of it!

Topic: Accountability Made Easy & Graceful

Typical Audience Types:
Professional managers, Business owners, People who hire employees and/or contractors,
Leaders, People new to business or their professional management career

• Too nice or too much of a jerk: I don't want to be either ... but I have to make results happen ?
• How to balance relationship and connection with clarity and results ?
• Trouble employees - how can I get clear without compromising my integrity or the integrity of the business  ?

Accountability is not often thought of in the same vein as grace or ease.  In my thinking, accountability has to go with grace and ease: there is just no other way.  The key is to get to the root fundamental distinctions around accountability and how we have come to perceive it: then there is the opportunity to truly live and work in a new paradigm of accountability, responsibility and being powerful without being overbearing.

Intention of Presentation:

What you will gain from this engaging and humorous presentation:

• A process for holding people to account from grace and ease
  
• Practice in this process
  
• The resolution of common conflicts around holding people to account e.g. "I dont want to dominate" versus "I need results"
  
• How to powerfully and yet gracefully make requests and get results
  
• How to manage people in promises without driving yourself crazy
  
• How to put responsibility where it belongs: with the person in question
  
• And much much more...
