Becoming a Master With People
HOW TO NAVIGATE THE DIFFERENT MINDSETS OF THOSE WE INTERACT WITH ON A DAILY BASIS
Do you know anyone who is good with people? There is just something about this individual that others like. You can have a bad situation going and when this person shows up everything turns out great. On the other hand, do you know anyone who is simply bad with people? This person can effortlessly turn a great situation into a living nightmare just by walking in the room. There is more to being good with people than what meets the eye. Anyone can have a conversation with another person, but very few understand how to navigate another person’s mindset. If you deal with people on a daily basis then you are no stranger to the different mindsets your clients, prospects, team members and others in your organization go through on a daily basis.
When your people can identify the mindsets of another person and in turn give that person what they want and need in any situation, great things can happen.
In this interactive, high-level communication course, you will laugh, but also learn the tips, tricks, and tactics to navigate difficult people and situations while building long term relationships with those you serve on a daily basis.
Target Audience – Anyone who has to deal with people on and off the job.
KEYNOTE – 60 to 120 Minutes
Revealing The Leader Within
THE BAD HABITS AND WORST PRACTICES GREAT LEADERS STOP DOING IN ORDER TO INCREASE THEIR INFLUENCE
The last thing any leader wants or needs is another list of qualities or behaviors they must adopt to become a better leader. Instead of piling on ideas and best practices that tend to overwhelm and confuse, what if I told you we all have a great leader hidden inside us. We don’t need to add more behaviors, and habits, but instead take them away. Just like a master sculptor chips away at the unwanted material to reveal their masterpiece many of the great leaders in our industry have simply eliminated their bad habits and behaviors to become a better leader themselves.
Being a great leader is more about simplifying how you lead, not complicating it.
In this workshop we will identify the behaviors and bad habits many leaders can easily eliminate to have a greater degree of influence with those they serve.
In this program you will learn:
• The most common bad habits and worst practices of many leaders.

• The tips, tricks, tactics, and techniques any great leader must master to become a better leader.
