In certain situations, you need someone outside of your organization or team to facilitate change, provide hope, or inspire creativity and motivation. You may want key messages delivered in a short time frame or in a venue that is outside of your daily working environment. A team retreat, staff meeting, conference, or lunch-and-learn is the perfect opportunity to show your employees that you care about them. It is these experiences that influence new ideas, uncover new energy, and build a unified commitment to the organization’s larger purpose.

In the time period required, I will design a highly impactful presentation that accomplishes a number of outcomes:

• Engages audience members to listen thoughtfully
• Causes participants to think about what they could do differently
• Motivates participants to try something new
• Makes participants feel good about what they can do next.

I speak from a practical and real level, using stories and examples that the audience can connect with. I encourage interaction and discussion so people walk away feeling they were part of the presentation and not just talked to.

Consider some of the topics I can tailor to meet your needs:

• Managing Change through Challenging Times: Change brings fear but can also bring opportunity. I help change mindsets and encourage honest dialogue that results in the best possible outcome.
• Being an Emotionally Intelligent Leader: Your credibility and influence is linked to how you manage yourself and treat others. I show you the key attributes to being a strong and influential leader.
• Client Engagement and How to Strengthen Client Relations: Client needs and expectations change continuously and can often be unrealistic. I show you how to build relationships with your clients and keep expectations realistic and attainable.
• Creating Your Vision as a Team: Without a team vision, it is difficult to weather any storm. Your vision is your compass and helps to set you straight and keep you on course. I show you how to open dialogue on what is important and how you can bring those priorities together so everybody is on board.
• How to Engage and Connect with Your Team: The art of leadership is to understand what makes your employees tick and what is important to them. When employees trust you and like you, they go the extra mile. I show you how to ask those meaningful questions and adapt your approach so you can reach your employees at a different level.
• Striving for a Healthy Work/Life Balance: The goal of balancing your work and private lives seems to be just out of reach, but getting a hold on that balance is critically important. I show you how to determine what is realistic and what is not in the pursuit of balancing your work and private lives and what tangible yet simple steps make a difference in balancing priorities, expectations, and goals.
