Leading Your Company to Peak Performance

Our upcoming workshops in October and November will unveil new approaches to help business leaders create a thriving work environment and lead their companies to peak performance.

1.) Unlocking all the Potential in the Workplace

A successful business begins with great people. As a leader, you need to know your employees; their unique needs and wishes and how to inspire them. You must also take an objective look at yourself. What is your vision for success and how do you intend to get there?

This workshop will help you gain a new perspective and help you recognize the steps to reach your destination. You will identify your strengths, opportunities for growth, communication and leadership style and philosophy--and how these attributes affect your staff.

2.) Let’s Talk Talent: Have All the Right People in the right Jobs?

Efficiency is at its best when each employee is perfectly suited for their job. This workshop will reinforce this principle by examining hiring strategies, training and development, and techniques to unlocking the creativity of your staff. As a leader, you must be able to recognize the talents, abilities, and developmental needs of every person you employ. 

This workshop will teach you how to examine your company like a puzzle, giving you the tools to hire great people, put them where they fit perfectly,

develop and coach them, and watch them shine.

Business success is not possible without great communication. Through full and open communication, you have the ability to increase or decrease employee productivity, satisfaction and stress levels. You will learn the supreme importance of listening to your staff’s concerns. You will learn how to speak your intentions clearly through proper delegation, increasing your staff’s job satisfaction and sense of self-worth. 

3.) Stress in the workplace, and how to work with it or mitigate it

Stress is commonplace in the lives of many business leaders and their employees. In small doses, it can be a motivator; but for the most part, stress in the workplace is a destroyer.

In this workshop we explore the quality and quantity of communication and its effect on employee stress levels using the Stress Quotient Assessment.  Leaders must be able to identify the source of the stress in their organization  and work to mitigate it whenever possible. 

We  will explore the most common causes of stress in organizations, helping you identify the areas you need to improve and reduce stress—such as through proper delegation and improved communication. You will learn how stress can be contagious and dangerous to your company’s well-being, but also how to eliminate it through proper leadership practices.

Healthy Routines Lead to Productive Lives

Let me ask you a question: Do you think nutrition affects productivity and good relationships in the workplace? The correct answer is, yes. Big Time.

We all know that our state of health affects our sharpness of mind and our attitudes. Therefore, if our bodies are not getting a regular supply of nutritious food and healthy energy, we will suffer at work. Poor nutrition can affect our sense of good reasoning, our positive feelings, our attentiveness, and most importantly our creativity.

To ensure that you don’t go through too many drastic peaks and valleys in your energy levels at work, you need to get a good supply of high quality nourishment on a regular, scheduled basis. This includes the almighty breakfast, which is the most commonly skipped meal.

Try working on your nutrition this week, and consider these 2 simple health tips:

1) In addition to eating a substantial breakfast, schedule small, healthy snack breaks to avoid the distraction of hunger and the temptation to visit the snack machine.

2) Do not make any major decisions right before lunch, and avoid beginning any taxing work at that time. You will either feel hungry and rushed, or you will skip lunch entirely.

Although I am not a health or nutrition coach per se, I have strong personal convictions about the body-mind connection. I enjoy sharing how nutrition and exercise can help this valuable connection, affecting many areas of life for the better.

Business Partners: Becoming Effective Teammates

Stress in the workplace can be caused by many different things. Perhaps an associate has been newly hired and is having difficulty adjusting. Maybe there is a personal conflict between two staff members. Perhaps you as a business owner are overworked and spread too thinly, or you need a business partner. Or maybe you have a partner, but communication is not what it should be.

What can you do in situations like this? The answer is simple: seek out a business coach.

I have many effective resources and tools, as well as years of experience in starting and growing effective business partnerships. Don’t settle for a stagnant partnership. Learn how each other thinks and operates. Play to your strong points and fill their weaknesses, while they do the same for you.

Don’t waste any more time struggling through a partnership that is benefitting neither person. I will help you view your business partner as a valuable teammate. Both you and your company will soon begin to feel the effects of this harmony as you achieve goal after goal, without any penalties.

Turn Over That Frown! Find and Keep the Right Employees

Let’s talk about turnover. For those who are not aware, this refers to the rate at which employees leave their jobs and are replaced.

Do you ever wonder why people leave their jobs or get fired? Aside from obvious disciplinary reasons or just having a lousy boss, the primary reason is this: many people are in the wrong job.

In many ways, the cost of turnover is huge for businesses. Many of the individuals who are left behind in these situations find themselves wishing they were somewhere else. When employees are in the wrong job, they will experience a lower level of engagement and consequently, low productivity.

The question is, how and when do I come into the picture as a personal and business coach? When you hear a fellow business owner groaning about their employees, using phrases such as “those people…I can’t ever get them to do their jobs right!”, it is a silent call for help. One which I am happy to answer.

On the other hand, if you are the business leader who is daily witnessing long or unhappy faces in your office or work site, it might be time to give me a call. It is my goal as a coach to boost employee productivity and happiness in the workplace.

Coaching 101-Who I Am, and What I Do

I would like to take the time to state the obvious. If you are new to this site, however, it might not be very obvious. I want to briefly explain what I do as a personal and business coach.

I work professionally with business leaders who want more. They want more for themselves. They want more for their staff. They want more for their customers, for their bank account, and for their community. What is this more? You tell me, and I will help you get there.

Why business leaders need my services:  Business owners and leaders in the workplace face constant pressure from many sides. They are pressured by customers, vendors, staff, investors, and their superiors. Quite simply, most business leaders are overworked, and therefore are unable to enjoy their chosen profession anymore.

What do I do: In simple terms, I help business leaders and individuals view their lives through a larger pair of glasses. I help them put the many various struggles and aspects of life into perspective. I advise people on how to think strategically and proactively, rather than constantly operating in “crisis mode.” Additionally, I guide leaders in the hiring process, helping them place the right individuals into positions where they will shine.
