Speaker's Topics
Builders, Boomers, Xers, & Millenials: Generations at Work
Can Boomers and Nexters ever see eye to eye? What is a Millenial, anyway? If you have generational differences at work, you might have generational conflicts as well. This insightful, interactive, and eye-opening program will help you determine who the generations are in your organization, how generational differences in values and work philosophies influence productivity and morale, and what you can do to capitalize on the strengths of each generation.
How Could You Say That?
Speak so they’ll hear you; listen so they’ll talk. The art of criticism, reframing, and active listening are just the beginning of the tools you’ll learn to use.
Respond-ability
Who’s in charge of the situation—you, or the situation? Become the one in charge. Maximize your ability to choose your response and make things happen.
Leadership Dogs/What’s Your Style?
We all approach conflict, and leadership, in our own unique style. Find out YOUR style, and how to work with everyone else’s. Stop barking up the wrong tree, and figure out how to become “Best in Show.”
Break on Through
We all have barriers, whether real or imagined, that keep us from achieving our goals. In this eye opening and interactive session, you’ll be invited to identity and confront your personal and professional barriers head on. Then through something you never thought you’d do, we’ll take you to a place you’ve never been before and figuratively and literally break through your barriers! This is a session that you’ll be telling people about for years to come. You’ll also leave with a new sense of empowerment as well as a special souvenir of your breakthrough.
Your Life Is Now
Too much stress, not enough sleep, and no time to eat right. If this sounds all too familiar, then you and your staff need this workshop. Based on the latest brain-based research, this workshop gives you the tools you need to rewrite your life script and maximize your working potential.
Team Building
Getting to know each other is just the first step. How to work with each other efficiently, effectively, and have fun while you’re doing it.
The BEST IDEA I gained from this program is that] this will help me and other committee members work together. I liked most the teamwork between Troy and Karin.

Being able to open up to someone unfamiliar gave me a new belief that I can do it. The experience was overwhelming.

Words are alive and operative. They have the power to make or break you.
