A presentation on performing beyond expectations.

 

If you expect less than ordinary from an individual, you will consider such person to be extraordinary when he or she performs beyond your expectation. A person is not extraordinary because he or she, despite a disability or other disadvantage, can surpass a substandard expectation.

The EXTRA of an extraordinary individual is found in his or her capacity to do the following:

  • Strive to do better today than he or she did yesterday.
  • Maintain control of one's life in the face of uncontrollable circumstances--that is, self- determination instead of self-pity.
  • Change the approach to adapt to the situation.
  • Ask for help when he or she reaches personal limits.

EXTRA-Ordinary is offered as a keynote 20 to 45 minutes long, depending on your program. Clients usually request this presentation as part of an awards luncheon or banquet.

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.
