Character-Based Leadership – An “Inside-Out” Approach

“Bounce-Back” – The Resilience Factor

Living life means facing frequent challenges, including disappointments, failures, setbacks, and more. These events are often unanticipated and unexplainable but your ability to stay calm and respond effectively to these situations is critical to a successful result in any setting, be it in business or in one’s personal life. In this presentation, you will learn:

  • How to develop the self-confidence to handle any adverse circumstance
  • How to stay calm during adversity
  • How to identify the core issues involved
  • How to respond rapidly and effectively to any set-back, business reversal, personal disappointment, and more
  • That life’s set-backs are the crucible of character development and unique opportunities for life success

Self Discipline = Success

Self-discipline is the single greatest predictor to success in anyone’s business or personal life. High levels of self-discipline lead to high levels of achievement; low levels lead to less than optimum results or worse. Simply said, a person who cannot control themselves…their desires and behavior…will never develop into the best person they could be and they will never achieve their full potential in any situation. In this presentation, you will learn:

  • Why self-discipline is the greatest of all success principles
  • How to achieve and maintain a life of total self-discipline
  • How self-discipline affects our self-ideal, self-image, and self-respect
  • How to re-program your brain’s hard-drive
  • The importance of self-talk in achieving ultimate self-discipline

How To Create And Motivate A Team

The word “team” is often encountered within the terms “team-building” and “team work”, especially in the business world. Successful, high-performance organizations have long recognized the power and effectiveness of groups whose members are deeply committed to common goals and the behavior needed by each person within the group to reach, maintain and exceed those goals. However, leadership is the key factor in creating and maintaining a true “team” environment. In this presentation, you will learn:

  • How to establish group membership criteria
  • How to achieve and maintain group buy-in
  • How to reach, maintain and exceed goals
  • How to celebrate the wins, learn from the shortfalls, and press on
  • How to be the leader others willingly believe in and follow
