Dealing With Negativity (Attitude) Every office has at least one of them. The chronic complainer. The gossip. The griper. The backstabber.

You can't add more time to a day, but you can get more done in less time and achieve all the things you've always wanted to accomplish. Most importantly you will learn how to budget time for yourself. From Whining To Winning (Communication) You can have the most powerful vision and the greatest process, but without effective communication you.re dead. The problem is that business communication is carried out on so many different channels or circuits that it.s easy to lose track of important information because you were literally listening to the wrong line. People who limit themselves to a few channels of communication are always in danger of being fed misinformation . advertently or inadvertently. Some people are very good at wiring themselves into other peoples communications network and loading down the circuits with their own messages. We all know by now that the squeaky wheel gets the grease. But often whiners and complainers occupy our time and attention to the exclusion of productive business. This eye-opening breakout session will provide you the keys to communicating with all factions, segments or personality types. Creating Your Edge (Motivation) Creating Your Edge is a choice for anyone who is serious about making dreams reality. This breakout session is a tool for preparing yourself for the challenges you face . from developing habits and discipline that will get you started down the path to success to learning the value of ferocious persistence as you begin to reach and surpass your goals.

Serving 2 Succeed (Customer Service) An exhilarating tidal wave of change is sweeping our economy. American businesses, the successful ones, are increasingly customer-driven and service oriented. Your customers are only satisfied because their expectations are so low and because no one else is doing better. Just having satisfied customers isn.t good enough anymore. If you really want a booming business, you have to create customers for life! This breakout session is a must for all people. Practical, down-to-earth applications of service excellence, the number one priority for surviving in today.s business climate. America is in the midst of a service crisis that has left a wake of disillusioned customers from coast to coast. Serving 2 Succeed includes startling news tips and innovative techniques that can help anyone create a revolution in any workplace, and keep customers for life, spending customers! Achieving More Together (Teamwork) Everyone is a part of a team. If you are married, you and your spouse are a team. If you are employed, you and your colleagues are a team. If you give time to a church or other organization, you are part of a team of volunteers. And while everyone knows that teamwork is a good thing, you may not know it really works. Why do some teams appear to skyrocket toward realizing their vision while others seem to go nowhere? This session demystifies the process of building a winning team, making it simple to grasp, retain, and put into practice.

Leadership Topics Managing The Generation Gap In The Workplace (Diversity) Every generation gets a label, usually from the most visible and striking elements of its youth. This breakout session takes the view that in the workplace these generalities only help as background for the daily contact and ongoing communication with various generations. Being an outstanding leader requires an appreciation for differences. Each member of each generation is unique . with a different background and a different way of approaching the job. Instead of passing judgment on what.s right and wrong, good and bad, acceptable and unacceptable, successful leaders value the unique contributions of each of their people. Practically speaking, this valuing difference causes the effective leader to administer policies and schedules with an eye for how they affect each individual. The most critical strategy today in the management of any business is about people. This session is a must, from front line support to the CEO. Leading Through Change (Change) Few things are as certain in this world as change. The good old days of plentiful resources, adequate staff, and burgeoning budgets are long gone. And phrases like .this will never work. and .that.s not the way we.ve always done it. just don.t cut it anymore. To succeed in today.s ever-challenging work environment, you must be continually on the lookout for new and better ways to provide service, increase productivity, and build staff support. In short, you must be .change ready.. This fast paced session will help you understand the emotional and psychological reactions to change. It will take you through a step-by-step model of the four reactions to change; disengagement, disidentification, disorientation, and disenchantment. Change is a given, but it.s nothing to fear. By the close of this session you.ll not only be ready to lead people through change, you may actually look forward to it. Breaking The Rules (Creativity) If you want to go places you've never been before - you have to think in ways you've never thought before. This breakout session will teach you how to do that. Steve Gilliland will teach you how to think in a way that will keep you ahead in these turbulent times and create exciting new opportunities and possibilities. How we think is how we behave, and how we behave is who we are. To take yourself and your organization to the next level, you must always think beyond that level, and sometimes it requires unconventional thinking. As a person, and an organization, you can't let your fear of failure stifle your ability to move beyond the way it's always been done. Sometimes you have to break what isn't broken in order to blaze new trails and not rest on your laurels. Stepping out of the "box" and making breakthroughs requires creative thinking and sometimes breaking the rules of conventional thinking. Creaming The Crop (Interviewing) A Labor department study shows that 50% of new hires last only six months in their new jobs. Bad hires affect the company, the individual and you . though not necessarily in that order. The wrong person doing the wrong job is harmful to the organizations health. Many wrong people multiply this malady, and then you have a debilitating disease. We have all made bad hires, yet in all cases, the cause of the bad hire can be traced to one of the following reasons; understanding your current needs, initial screening, interview techniques, interview questions, interpretation of answers, and too much emphasis on ability. There is a strong relationship between an organizations investment in training leadership in the skill of Interviewing and employee retention. This breakout session will demonstrate how to conduct an effective interview and have confidence you are hiring the best. Trimming The Weeds (Performance Reviews) The ability to use performance reviews to develop and motivate employees is a core management skill. Regular constructive feedback on performance is vital if employees are to build on their strengths, achieve their full potential, and make the maximum contribution to their organization. Managers who conduct these evaluations hold the key to whether an employee leaves the process motivated or simply relieved it.s over. For most it is merely a time to .grade. an employee to fulfill the Human Resource requirements for pending merit raises. However, it is a key contributor to future performance, production and retention. Performance Reviews should be used to sustain motivation and commitment, continuously improve performance, give direction and agree on expected contributions set targets in line with team and organizational goals, identify training needs, and gather ideas for change. This breakout session will teach how to conduct a performance review to challenge the best and improve the rest. Leading With Heart (Leadership Development) Leading With Heart is a session for leaders, and is about heart, the universal symbol for caring and compassion. In general, what leaders do is plan for, train, and motivate employees within the perspective of their company.s mission or vision of the future. What makes leaders effective is doing their job with competence, confidence, and caring. Steve Gilliland believes that a company cannot maintain high quality people, products, and profits unless it is lead with compassion and caring. While these qualities are crucial in effective leadership, their role is often misunderstood. This breakout session was designed to help managers, supervisors, and everyone in a leadership position develop the vision, ground rules, and skills to produce inspired performance. Steve.s goal in this session is to show managers a simple and direct way to open their hearts.
