Becoming a Person of Influence
Description
We all want to live lives that matter, but just how do we make a positive difference? Some believe that you must have an impressive title to do so, but that is a mistake.

Mind Your Monkeys: How to help people solve their own problems
Description
Overworked? Stressed out? Too much on your plate? Well, these could be symptoms that you're taking on responsibilities that are not actually yours. As a leader there are many monkeys (tasks) that need to be completed. Great leaders delegate these monkeys to others and ensure that the monkeys stay off of their backs. Unfortunately, too many leaders feel like they have to have all the answers or solve all the problems, thus taking the monkeys back. This is not effective leadership and doing so will often lead to stress and burn out. Learn how to share your monkeys through effective delegation and how to keep these monkeys off your back by teaching others how to solve their own problems. Doing so not only helps you become a better leader, but it is an essential strategy to helping grow additional leaders in your organization.
What Your Audience Will Get

Relief from always solving the problem and having the answer
-
Specific tools to sustain delegation

The 7 Laws of Self-Leadership
Description
Life can be disappointing - not getting that promotion, KPI's not being met, a dysfunctional team, the business not growing, or maybe you're stuck in a mid-life crisis. Unfortunately, the cause of this could be you.
It's true, the hardest person to lead is "me". For many of us, we tend to put the needs of others first, leaving our personal growth and development up to chance. Just like a sharp ax will cut down more trees, when we intentionally invest in ourselves, we can have a more positive impact on the lives of others. This direct and inviting message encourages you to leave your comfort zone, imagine what is possible within you, and become intentional in your personal growth. Master these 7 Laws and you'll become a master of your mindset, your time, and your learning, thus dramatically increasing your capacity to give to and lead others.
What Your Audience Will Get
-
A shift from seeing what is probable to seeing what is possible within themselves
-
A practical guide for intentional self-development
-
Less stress and more energy to get things done
-
Greater clarity on the impact you can have on the lives of others
