I amazingly devised a daring plan to reunite with my two small children who were kidnapped to the Middle East. No laws required them to be returned! This proved to be a significant test of both my resolve and the strength of my conviction. The abduction and how I ultimately retained custody of my children led to the principles of tenacity and persistence displayed in this customized presentation.

Communication at Work: Removing Barriers to Increase Workplace Productivity (Keynote)
Today’s professionals are tasked with the responsibility of navigating so many jobs within their job. It’s a busy life! And, some or even many, are counting on you to have ALL the answers.
This can affect your productivity in many ways. So, what is stopping us? Why are we sometimes hitting a roadblock in our ability to improve our output?
We all want higher productivity, especially when faced with limited resources or significant change. How do we make this happen? I’ll explain as we uncover great ways to unleash our productivity, grow relationships, assisting those we serve!
Limited or constrained resources and lack of information can affect work in so many ways. It can also lead to a decrease in productivity.
Sometimes we are aware of these barriers and other times… not so much. It this desire to remove them that begins to help us find ways of increasing our productivity.
To truly resolve this problem, increase our productivity and achieve our goals we must understand that resourcefulness/ingenuity requires considering multiple angles/perspectives of the same resources.
Resourcefulness comes from having the context to see something well enough to understand how you can use what otherwise appeared to be a constraint.
All these ways we try to grow our productivity are not necessarily solving the actual problem.
If we can acknowledge that these barriers exist, then we can attempt to remove them and in doing so unleash growth, grow productivity and even have some fun!
However, underneath all of this there’s something that’s making it even worse!
I’ll explain as we uncover the direct lines to increased productivity, better communications and employee satisfaction.
The Changing Landscape of the Workplace: Recruiting, Managing & Retaining 5 Generations
Successfully Blending the Five Generations currently in the workplace can be a tall order. Your HR leadership is essential in assisting all employees to better understand one another!
Our goal is to help support happier, dynamic, more productive employees while also maintaining focus on business, new laws and so much more.
Around the globe and in the U.S., today’s workers can have up to five different generations working side by side. And, productivity can decrease if your staff doesn’t understand the unique characteristics and talents each person/generation brings. After all, understanding and growing our talent and organizational culture creates opportunities for increasing productivity, higher retention and better communications between staff and departments.
This highly requested interactive presentation covers strategic methods of improving employee morale, improving operational efficiency, increasing employee retention and improving employee productivity; how to find it, how to harness it and how to keep it. Important in all lines of work!
Millennials and Gen. Z get a special nod in this presentation- you’ll see why they deserve it in this fun, informative, interactive and fast paced session!
The Business Personal Benefits of Successfully Navigating Change
From new employees to new managers. From new company direction to constant change. Staff is surrounded with change and the effect it has on jobs and on their workplace satisfaction, retention and productivity. If those we work with can successfully navigate the intricacies we’ll continue to grow our productivity and have a distinct advantage in the service we provide!
Sometimes it’s organizational change- cultural transformation. Or, it can be the people side-how to cope. Fear and anxiety, new management new staff and new roles can be an opportunity for growth. Plus, an opportunity for additional learning and possible advancement too.
We understand that change is a constant and it’s our job as leaders to assist staff who are struggling, give them the tools and let them know they’re not alone.
This popular session is designed to show you how to best assist all staff, create a culture of openness and ideas and successfully navigate change in your workplace.
