The Strength of Talent: How to Grow Your People to Grow Your Profit

To achieve your company's goals, you need all team members performing at their best. Yet, in a study of 1,200 leaders, only 2% found their performance management system delivers exceptional value. Since the #1 driver of profit growth is people growth, that's a very scary statistic.

We've got to do better.

The Strength of Talent introduces a powerful new framework to help leaders assess talent, develop talent and make the tough decision to transition someone out of the organization that’s not a strong fit.  It also introduces a new measure called the Talent Density Indicator that allows leaders to track their progress and hold themselves and others accountable for strengthening the talent on their teams.

CEOs and corporate leaders who implement this framework will achieve higher growth, greater fulfillment and increased impact with lower frustration. With The Strength of Talent, they will increase the strength of their team, enhance their impact as a leader and fall back in love with their business all over again.

In this session, your audience will learn:

• A 5-step process to maximize the performance of each member of their team

• How and when to make the tough decision to transition someone out of the organization that’s not a strong fit.

• A quarterly talent assessment process that encourages challenge, debate and accountability.

• What actions to take to leverage, develop and retain their highest performers.

• A new process to replace the tired, harmful and dreaded annual performance review.

Breakthrough Leadership Team Workshop

This program is great for business owners and members of any leadership team.
If you want to create a growing, profitable business that positively impacts the lives of employees and clients, it'll take more than leveling up your capacity and capabilities as leader. It will require a leadership team of A players who can work with you to create a vibrant, winning environment that cascades down through the organization. 

Or, as Mike Goldman calls it: a breakthrough leadership team.

In this session, your audience will learn how to:

• Structure their team now and plan for future growth

• Get the right people on the team and the wrong people off the team

• Craft the right culture

• Develop their talent

• Execute with discipline and accountability

Overcoming Overwhelm: Move From Disempowered to Empowered With a Focus Switch

The biggest obstacle in the way of our personal and professional success and fulfillment is between our ears. When times are challenging, our emotions go on autopilot and we create disempowering actions and habits. Simply shifting our focus will change our reality and our results.

These days the key to gaining a strategic advantage is not about a new product or service. Improving employee engagement is not about an employee of the month program.

The key to both of those things is having the right mindset

In this session, your audience will:

• Learn why changing their focus can change their lives

• Understand the difference between a disempowering focus versus and empowering one

• Discover powerful questions that will help them shift their focus on command

• Turn fear, frustration, overwhelm, disappointment and anger into strength, excitement, control, fulfillment and understanding

• Adopt a daily recipe for creating the right mindset every day.
