Career Strategies: How to move up, move in and move on.
For every phase of your career there is a specific strategy for success. Each strategy is unique to you and includes, what you want next and longer term, your current skills both technical and soft, your interpersonal style and natural gifts, your network both internal and external and a plan to move your forward.

In this presentation you will get tips and insights into keeping your job and getting promoted, how to successfully move into a new position, and when the time comes how to move on to a new company.

Inspired Leadership
As the top leaders in your respective organizations, you will, for better or worse, make a difference in the way your corporate culture expresses itself. The new paradigm of leadership centers on the expanded development of individual potential, collaboration, partnering, and shared risk and reward. The essential attributes of inspired leadership are discussed.

Living Your Gifts and Marketing Your Value
Your gifts are the natural talents with which you were born. You may take them for granted, because they are easy for you. But they are not necessarily easy for others. Your gifts, when recognized, lead you to your passion and ultimately, your success. Success requires effort, but suffering or doing things you hate to do or don’t do well are optional. This presentation will help you to key into your natural strengths and give you formulas for demonstrating value to your boss and clients in a positive way so you can shine, make the next step up in your career, and truly enjoy your life and work.

Communicating with Style
When you understand the four basic personality styles and can recognize them in others, you will easily be able to slightly shift your style to more effectively get someone’s attention or connect with them in order to gain cooperation, support, and positive results. This presentation will give you a crash course in the four basic styles and show you how to positively use this knowledge.

What to Do When People Make You Nuts
We all have difficult people in our lives (and sometimes we are one of those difficult people). They come in many forms--the volcano who erupts all over everyone; the bulldozer who leaves tread marks down his or her victim’s back; the perfectionist who finds fault with everything; and the unpopular people pleaser who says yes to everyone and is so overwhelmed that he or she ultimately pleases no one. When a person’s natural personality is thwarted, they become difficult. This talk will give you valuable insights into diplomatic methods for overcoming difficult people and situations.

Five Keys to Greater Personal Success
You are the one, consistent thing that is always present in every event in your life. Therefore, you are the key to changing the outcome of future events in your life. By applying even a few of the five principles discussed in this presentation, you can increase your successes and be more clear and stress-free than you ever believed possible.

Six Steps for Eliminating Crisis
This presentation will help you to take back your personal power and get back in control of your life and time. Stop letting other peoples' fires become your problem. Learn to say “no” appropriately. This presentation will outline simple, powerful steps you can take today to increase you and your team’s productivity, reducing stress in the work place and your personal life.

Dealing with Sticky Employee Problems
Many managers simply put up with employee behavior and productivity problems because they feel so uncomfortable holding corrective discussions. This presentation will give participants the critical steps, including a demonstration, about how to hold those discussions with ease and success. (Check out our E-Book, "How to Handle Sticky Employee Discussions with Ease and Success," for even more information about how to correct employee problems.)

Are You Working Your Business or Is Your Business Working You?
If your business or job has taken over the ownership of your life, then you may need someone to pull you back so you can get a fresh perspective and make better strategic decisions. This presentation will give you some food for thought and provide specific actions you can take to get your business running more effectively without it taking over your life.

Demonstrating Value to Your Clients and Boss
Want to get more business, a pay raise, or a promotion? Nothing is more effective than discovering the secrets to calibrating your client's or boss's needs, wants, facts, and perceptions and then documenting your value by showing how you’ve met those desires. This presentation will give you tried and true methods to absolutely demonstrate and get credit for the great value you bring to the organization.

The Power to Attract the Job You Want
You get more of what you put your attention on. So when you’re looking for your next position, it is critical that you let go of fear, write out your ideal job, and target your resume to exactly that job and title. A resume that ensures an interview is not a list of tasks you have done, but an intriguing series of short stories about problems you have masterfully solved. This talk will help you create the conditions that will attract the best job you have ever had.
