Your Management Success Formula
With the increase in competition and changes in the workplace, the key to good management practices now requires a clear under- standing of human behavior. Through this program managers will learn their own behavior style while they receive a picture of the style of the people they have to manage. This information will allow them to better relate to and motivate their subordinates and is also valuable in team building, hiring, and the correct placement of personnel.

“Your presentation really made the convention. Weeks after the convention, they are still talking about all they learned. Keeping the attention and interest of attendees for months afterwards is no small feat and definitely something to be proud of. It is speakers like you that make my job easy. You not only educated, but you entertained as well.”

Robert M. Weiss, Executive Vice President
Home Builders Association of Kentucky

Working Together: Effective Ways To Build Successful Teams
This is a fast-moving training program designed to increase productivity and promote team-building by helping your people learn more about their own and each others' overall goals and work styles. They'll discover practical strategies that foster cooperation in both the business environment and their personal lives. And they'll learn how people with different work styles can resolve incompatibilities and interact more effectively as a team.

Creating High Energy P.R. Materials
Why do some ads work and others don't? There are as many theories as there are experts, but there is one key explanation that is usually overlooked. It's the energy that the copy and graphics generate. If energy is present, it encourages people to read your piece; if energy is lacking, they'll most likely throw it away. In this seminar, you'll learn why what you see has a positive or negative impact on your energy system. Once you understand this concept, you'll discover ways to create high energy promotional materials that capture the attention of readers and ultimately result in greater profits.

Increasing Your Management Power To New Levels of Excellence
Research shows that we use less than 10% of our brain power. Imagine the difference in your managerial life if you and the people around you could access more of this hidden potential. This session gives you actual tools for achieving un-limited managerial growth by unleashing the power of your mind. The program also helps you increase your creativity and productivity to new levels of excellence and gives you techniques with practical take-home value for reaching your life goals and objectives.

Hiring and Placing Excellent People
The key to success within any organization is hiring the right person for the job. Through this seminar, participants will gain tools that can be used to determine the strengths and weaknesses of a potential employee, as well as the ability to determine the most appropriate placement of that person within the organization and finally, what steps can be taken to keep them motivated.

Managing the Stress of Change
Time pressures, people pressures, and bottom line pressures all add to the level of stress managers have to deal with today. This program focuses on giving managers the techniques and abilities to take charge of the stressful situations they encounter in the workplace. Techniques include quick energizing, relaxation and a 1 1/2 minute headache relief method.

“The program was a tremendous success. My attendees are still reflecting on what a dynamic program that was, and in meetings or over the phone, members are explaining your concepts and techniques. The positive response and feedback from your program is circulating through the industry.”

Lisa Morris, Director
Washington Metropolitan Sales & Marketing Council
