      Hard Conversations for Avoiders

      Why do we avoid difficult conversations? What are the costs professionally and personally? How can you overcome this avoidance and have effective hard conversations? This interactive presentation answers all three questions and provides practical skills that you will immediately be able to employ.

       

      Hire to Thrive, Fire Fast with Fairness

      In order for hiring to be successful it has to be right for both parties. To get it right you need both a philosophy and process that works. What thrive questions are you trying to answer? How do you gather and process information? And what do you do if you are wrong? How do you do the hard, right thing with skill and dignity? The answers are what separates leaders and organizations.

       

      Public Speaking for the Petrified

      Yikes! For many of us the idea of public speaking is our greatest fear. This common form of anxiety is understandable but it can really hold us back. I offer concrete, practical ways for you to get more comfortable by breaking down how to prepare your content and how to deliver your presentations.

       

      Culture is a Leadership Issue

      A positive, energetic, collaborative culture is why talented people stay and companies thrive. And the opposite is true for organizations with negative cultures. We humans are wired to connect, to seek feedback, to feel like we belong. How are you making your people feel in this time of Covid? How are you keeping them connected from day 1? Make no mistake, this is a leadership issue and even more critical during this isolating time.

       

      Customer Experience and the Power of Little Wows!

      What separates you from your competition? Is it your product, prices, location? When you really think about it probably not for your competitors most likely have all the same things. What separates you is your people and how you make your customers feel, how they enjoy the experience of doing business with you. And it is the cumulative effect of trainable little wows that creates a culture of exceptional customer service that leads to the holy grail for any business or organization - customer loyalty.
