KEYNOTES & WORKSHOPS
All of my talks and workshops revolve around one central idea…if you enable the growth of an organizational culture that allows continuous improvement to thrive, you will win in business. From that central point, I’m able to speak on topics related to engagement, strategic and tactical analysis, human (and team) behaviour, business process improvement and Lean Six Sigma, and dealing with Change and Project Management.
Some of the most requested talks include:
Unspoken Truths: Address the Organizational Pains that are costing Time, Energy, Money & People!
Unspoken Truths are everywhere in your organization, and they are taking you down from the inside, causing you unknown (and unneeded) pain. Despite likely hiding in plain sight, these truths may be negatively impacting your ability to deliver on important projects, improve organizational processes, and stand out from the crowd which leads to a disengaging of your staff and team, and worst of all, costing you time, money and people.
In the ever-changing people-first employee market of today, businesses cannot afford to let unspoken truths run wild wreaking havoc and destroying the organization from the inside.
So what causes all of these Unspoken Truths?
How can you identify the Unspoken Truths within your organization and address them head-on?
In this keynote, participants will be introduced to the concept of Unspoken Truths, be able to identify the three biggest sources of them (along with the all-important ‘why’), and learn what can be done to counteract their influence and impact to ensure the organization has a strong foundation for years to come.
Learning Objectives:
- Identify the largest sources of unspoken truths within your organization, the role they play in your organizational processes and how to go about addressing them.
- Learn what changes are needed, and how to put them in place, to most effectively mitigate the impact and influence of all our Unspoken Truths.
- Understand the connection between mitigating these unspoken truths and how that leads to a happy, healthy and engaged culture all-around.
Selling Change (When No One’s Buying)
“Because that’s how we’ve always done it”
These are the words that keep good companies from becoming great, and puts bad companies out of business. In fact, in most businesses, if you aren’t practicing improvement and innovation… if you aren’t transforming, you’re dying. But what if that company is large and archaic? One that is unwilling or unable to make change? One that relies on how things have always been done? In “Selling Change When No One is Buying”, we’ll uncover tips and tricks for you to take back to your organizations, to start them down the path of process improvement, leading to new growth and innovation.
Learning Objectives
- Learn how to build a better case for change when working from the bottom, up.
- Cover tips, tricks and hacks for navigating the political minefield that is the office
- Find out how to turn your concept and vision into a reality
Slaying Your Organizational Dragons
Beware! Beyond Here Be Dragons!
They cause nothing but pain, heartache, and immeasurable frustration. They have sacked cities, scorched the ground to make the land inhospitable, and caused entire empires to fall.
Dragons! They’re the worst!
Well, then get ready for a shock, noble knights…the dragons we fight every day, with whom we are entwined in an eternal struggle, are winning…which, obviously, is not good for us.
In fact, there are 7 dangerous, dastardly dragons that dominate, preventing our organizations (and us!) from achieving our full potential. No matter your industry, sector, or market, we all deal with dragons; some are just little baby dragons, best to be dealt with before they grow too large, because those older dragons make victory much more difficult. But not impossible.
So grab your sword, your shield, and your shouts…we’ve dragons to slay!
