Leadership

Stupid Is as Stupid Does
Leaders of organizations who are planning for the 21st Century must help their followers combat the skepticism, cynicism and apathy that seems to have emerged over the past two decades. Successful leaders must provide the antidote to growing cynicism, alienation and skepticism endemic in our society. This provocative, humorous and challenging presentation causes participants to examine their values and understand their own personal power. They’ll come away with a new understanding of how to share and apply the virtues of commitment, loyalty, hard work and hope in their personal and professional lives.

Adventures in Excellence
This presentation looks at action, adventure, adversity, advocacy and service and the roles they play in turning managers into leaders. It confronts the realities of leadership and excellence, including the struggles, the opportunities and the gratification that comes from each.

Change

Astronauts Don’t Use Rear View Mirrors: Leading Through Change
The one thing in life that we can be sure of is that change is constant and inevitable. Certainly no one can change what happened yesterday. Too often, however, people, unlike astronauts, like to use their "rearview mirrors" and look back on things that they can’t control, instead of looking ahead and figuring out how they can control their future. This presentation teaches participants to accept the challenge of change in an enthusiastic, proactive manner.

The Art of Being Positively Selfish
In most areas of life, people are constantly asked to give of themselves to others.
