A presentation on growing from, not just coping with, change.

 

Our external environment is constantly changing, and we change along with it. It is sudden and/or dramatic change that throws us off into a resistance mode. 

A new paradigm for change can promote growth, not just support coping, for the person who: 

  • Responds on the defensive by resisting, rather than on the offensive by directing, the course of change. 
  • Focuses on what is happening instead of why it is happening.
  • Is distracted by the surroundings and loses sight of where he or she is going.
  • Is locked into one way of getting it done.
  • Has lapsed into the mode of just-getting-by.
  • Is fast approaching burnout.

Change A-D-V-I-C-E is offered as a keynote 30 to 60 minutes long, depending on your program. Clients have requested this presentation to open a conference, convention, or other training program.

Here's an audio excerpt (mp3) and one sheet presentation description (PDF) of the speech delivered as a keynote.

Looking forward to serving you to meet your professional speaking needs.

DOING WHAT IT TAKES

Are you doing what it takes to get what you want?

We have begun a new year on the calendar--2015. It is an ideal time to reflect on 2014. Did you get the things you wished for? Did you accomplish what you planned? Did you benefit from the unexpected?

The new year is also a great time to think about what you'd like your life to be in the next twelve months. Make your resolutions. Set your goals. Dream your dreams. Imagine your future. It doesn't matter whether you call it a resolution, goal, desire, wish, or dream, whatever you want to get this year, you must do what it takes.
