Location: Evonik Industries Greensboro, NC Quality Boot Camp Creating a Department Mission and Vision Program Imagine if 69% of employees in your organization came down with chronic flu. Multiple employees are calling in sick and those who do come in barely have enough energy to make it through the day. No you didn’t miss a bulletin about the swine flu, and it does sounds surreal, but this is occurring every day and its called disengagement. I call it Chronic Human Wasting Disease ™ (CHWD). CHWD means minutes, hours, weeks and months of unproductive time and projects stalled. These are all important issues, but the real unfortunate and dangerous aspect of this disease is not the lost minutes or down time; it’s that the relationships that you and your organization need to be successful are not working, both literally and figuratively. People are not engaged with their work, their leaders or their organization – they are wasting away at their desks! The most recent study of workforce engagement found that only 31% of workers worldwide are engaged. This means that 69% are infected with CHWD. The study also found that 45% of employees are looking for healthier places to work. Leaders and organizations need people at their physical, emotional and intellectual peak, committed and aligned with the organization’s goals in order to meet the tough demands of the current business environment. Nobody can afford to have over half his or her workforce sick with the flu! Relationship – Centered Leadership attacks the causes of CHMD. It is an approach to leadership that prevents the disease from incapacitating employees and hindering organizations’ ability to reach their potential. The program Relationship – Centered Leadership will assist you in becoming a leader knowledgeable in the causes of CHWD and adept at recognizing its symptoms. Most importantly, it will provide you with strategies to build the professional relationships and climates that prevent this disease from infecting employees and wrecking havoc on productivity. As a participant in this program you will recognize that by: Applying the power of purpose Leveraging trust Employing your authentic presence and power of influence Demonstrating your commitment and courage to live by your values; and Practicing the principles of resiliency, You will be able to stop, reverse and prevent Chronic Human Wasting Disease from threatening the human and organizational potential that is waiting to flourish in your organization.

Event Description: The Art and Science of Thriving in Turbulent Times : The Four Movements to High-Level Resiliency  Recent history will be known for its global flux and turbulence, which has affected the structural underpinnings of our social, religious, educational, governmental and financial institutions and the fabric of life. To thrive in this climate it is imperative that we possess the highest levels or personal, professional, and organizational resiliency. This keynote will highlight a model that focuses on achieving this goal.
The Four Movements to High-Level Resiliency model integrates the concepts and skills of Salvatore Maddi’s 3C’s, Edward Deci’s Self-Determination Theory, William Bridges’ Transitions and emotional intelligence, which have demonstrated effectiveness in assisting individuals and organizations in sustaining their energy, clarity, focus, balance and courage to transform adversity into meaningful experiences that build competence and confidence in living a healthier, more satisfying and effective life. The Four Movements are: Emerging – Leaping – Landing – Launching Emerging: The goal is to discover your story of resiliency and to emerge with a clearer vision of your authentic resilient-self. Reflecting back helps us gain an understanding of the story lines influencing how and why we perceive life and our reactions to these perceptions. This retrospective provides a basis for identifying changes that will aide us in achieving high-level resiliency and it is the embarkation point to the other Movements. Leaping into a commitment to change – it is a decision to accept adversity and challenges as milestones in achieving your vision of the future. The focus is on exploring the power of commitment and purpose in your life. Landing is where you experience life’s daily and on-going calls to growth and to explore your authentic resilient-self. Each day presents challenges and opportunities to put your resiliency into practice. It is in this movement that you build confidence and sophistication in transforming adversity into opportunity. Launching is focused on building mastery and sustaining authentic relationships. The desire for mastery is not limited to vocational interests - it encompasses all aspects of your life. The focus is on becoming your authentic resilient-self. It is the quest for High – Level Resiliency. Time: Saturday August 7, 2010 Location: The International Network on Personal Meaning (INPM), Vancouver, Canada. Event Description : Is Your Motivational Approach Achieving The Results You Need?  Motivation is paramount to creating and sustaining a high-performance work culture. The question, “Is your organization and leaders motivating employees to be accountable, creative, engaged and to feel autonomous, or is it motivating compliance at best?” This keynote examines and challenges traditional models of motivation that are based on the “carrot and stick” philosophy, which stifles an employee’s desire to be fully engage and to derive meaning from their work.
The Gallup Organization in surveying thousands of employees across all sectors of organizations continues to find that 75 % of employees are not meaningfully engaged with their jobs and organizations! There are numerous assumptions, which can be drawn from this sobering and sad statistic, but one that is relevant, is that these organizations all use some form of rewards and punishment or carrot and stick approaches to their managerial methods and in the design and structure of their human resource benefits and plans. This presentation highlights the work of Edward Deci and Richard Ryan’s, Self-Determination Theory, which has demonstrated that “self-motivation, rather than external motivation, is at the heart of creativity, responsibility, healthy behavior, and lasting change.” The concept of “Autonomous Supportive” as a leadership approach, which encourages the growth of intrinsic motivation, is also a focal point. Recently, we have witnessed tragic and catastrophic accidents in the United States where reward and punishment, command and control, and carrot and stick approaches were factors that created the conditions for financial upheaval, environmental devastation and death. The human and planetary costs to the adherence and application of motivational theories and beliefs that are contrary to what people desire: to feel autonomous, competent and interpersonally connected, has reached a tipping point. It is time to rekindle the human spirit in our workforce. Location: University of Richmond Event Description: Leadership requires more than “smarts” (IQ) and experience. Today’s successful leaders need to possess emotional intelligence (EQ) in order to effectively apply the power of emotions as a source of energy, information, creativity, trust, and connection along with their ever-conscious aspiration to serve. You will have the opportunity to complete a self-administered, confidential instrument used to measure emotional intelligence. The insightful information from this instrument will provide you with new ways to develop yourself and your understanding of Relationship–Centered Leadership. Time: May 4, 2010
