Speech Titles :

Goal-setting / Creative Visioning:


Live with Intention

You have two choices in life: to react to what life gives you or to take a stand for what you want. Unfortunately, most people choose the reactive instead of proactive way of life. But no matter where you’re starting, it’s simple to live with intention. Learn how to let go of limiting beliefs, create a vision for what you want to be, do and have and identify action steps to take you from where you are to where you want to be.

Learning Objective: Learn practical steps to set both personal and professional goals, and be inspired to achieve them with creative visioning and deliberate action.
Length: 1 hour to half day.

Leadership:

Lead with Intention

The number one reason today’s leaders aren’t as influential as they’d like to be isn’t because they aren’t working hard, it’s because they spend too much time reacting to what’s wrong and not enough time proactively creating what works. To be an inspiring leader, you must be clear, confident and connected within yourself in order to impact others. Learn to apply the four A’s of leadership, and transform yourself into the kind of leader that others want to follow.

Learning Objective: Identify current leadership strengths and learn how to be the best leader you can be from the inside out.
Length: 1 or 2 hours

Focus / Productivity:

Focus Pocus: A Simple Process for Explosive Results
Most people don't get what they want because on their way from “here” to “there,” they focus on the wrong activities. Learn a fast, focusing formula and a simple, surefire process to shift you from inaction to empowerment. Getting from where you are to where you want to be isn’t hard work, it just requires some intentional focus.

Learning Objective: Learn and apply a focusing tool to help you achieve your goals and to support you in being more effective at work.
Length: 1 or 2 hours

Stress Management:

From Tension to Intention: Practical Ways to Power Up Your Life

When faced with overwhelm most people either run and hide or simply work harder. Overwhelm robs us of our peace of mind, our clarity and our ability to accomplish long-term goals. It is one of the quickest ways to short circuit success no matter how good your plan. Truly successful people know that sometimes you have to stop, assess and set intentions. Learn a proven system that you can apply right away to lift you from the inaction of overwhelm into the empowerment of do it now!

Learning Objective: Learn how to stop living your life “in tension” and to start living with intention, focusing your energy on being your happiest and best self so that you can maximize your impact and effectiveness.
Length: 1 or 2 hours
