Accountability: 5 Keys to Manage Success  (Yours & Others)

Overview:

Do your employees truly embrace and demonstrate accountability? Are there pockets of complacency you don't want to see grow? Is your vision to have an organization that is committed and passionate about success?

In her newest presentation, a passionate and supercharged Marjorie Brody will provide a reality check for America's working professionals - sharing the five realities of our work world.

This session, customized to meet specific audience demographics, is a no-nonsense look at what it takes to succeed in a business environment increasingly filled with tighter budgets, greater demands and increased frustrations.

As a result of this session, participants will be able to:

• Understand the importance of the accountability factor
• Turn around a poor attitude/how to play well in the "sandbox"
• Lead by example
• Demonstrate courage
• Eliminate behaviors that can destroy relationships and reputations

Five Realities of Our Work World

1) Attitude: Life is not fair.

2) Performance: No one owes you a living

3) Behavior: Reputation & relationships rule.

4) Courage: Doing the right thing is the right thing.

5) Perspective: It's all how you look at it.

It’s Amazing We Communicate At All! 

Join Marjorie Brody for this interactive session that will ensure all participants leave with the ability to communicate effectively with credibility and clarity whether in person, on the phone or in writing.

You cannot not communicate.  Whether you are face to face, on the phone, or sending e-mails, you are always conveying a message. The ability to communicate effectively is a critical success factor for everyone in all types of industries.  The ultimate goal is that the message you send is the one that is received -- yet there are many factors that impact effective communications.  

Market Your MAGIC 

The ability to market yourself internally within your own organization or within your industry can boost your career and personal fulfillment. It can make the difference between people remembering you as a brilliant leader and contributor, or barely remembering you at all. 

Marjorie Brody’s program Market Your MAGIC reinforces P.T. Barnum’s time-honored principle that “Without promotion, something terrible happens … nothing.”

Market Your MAGIC is a highly interactive program, providing concrete, memorable and immediately applicable tools to help you unleash your potential and achieve your goals.

This presentation helps companies retain their best people and individuals plan their own career development. 

Present Like a Pro 

Does it seem like people are more interested in observing others, looking at their watches, doodling in their handouts and organizing their Palm Pilots than actually listening to your presentation? 

Have you ever been sabotaged by PowerPoint?

Do the symptoms of stage fright leave you mentally and physically exhausted?

Do you dread being asked a question … fearful you won’t have the answer?

The fear of public speaking is the most common phobia in the United States. Luckily, it is also a very treatable phobia. Yet, many people fear that they can’t be helped.

Marjorie Brody’s presentation Present Like a Pro has helped thousands to overcome these obstacles and get optimum results with professional speech preparation and delivering strategies. 

Successful People Are Connected People 

In our 24/7, competitively intense, technology-driven world, are we losing sight of the significance of human connectivity? Marjorie Brody knows that for those who strive for greatness, the answer is a resounding “No!”   

Recognizing the importance of making connections is only the first step. Doing so superbly well is what makes all the difference. Meaningful connections require trust, respect, likeability and awareness. When others value your thoughts, advice, and perspective – in short, you – you know you are connected.This presentation celebrates the power of connecting with others, and builds on the skills that lay within to increase awareness, opportunities and success.

Beyond the Dream ... Making it Happen 

What keeps you from realizing your dreams? Do you lack clarity, fear taking risks, neglect to recognize and use all of the resources within and around you? Do you struggle to balance your personal life and professional goals? 

In Marjorie Brody's presentation, she shares real life examples of ordinary people doing extraordinary things and living their dreams -- big and small.

Each person in the audience will leave with an action plan to turn their dreams into objectives, their passion into purpose, and the confidence they have in themselves and those around them into personal effectiveness and a more balanced life. 

Enjoy waking up to the endless possibilities for making your personal and professional dreams come true.
