WINNING WELL

Lead your team to the top without losing your soul

Management isn’t easy.

Managers regularly face seemingly impossible goals. The eventual fallout is stress, frustration, and disengagement from themselves and from their staff. Two-thirds of managers report being disengaged from their mission and disconnected from their team.

WINNING WELL is a manager’s lifeline for getting the results they need while keeping employees and themselves energized, motivated and inspired.

Filled with humor, straight talk, and hard won truths, this inspiring keynote delivers principles and practices to galvanize your team.

WINNING WELL: CREATE YOUR CULTURE CODE

Every organization has a code – the invisible, often unspoken, norms that govern how you treat one another, solve problems, and serve your customers.

Despite their best efforts, many leaders struggle to build the culture they want. Instead, they work tirelessly to work with the culture they get. These accidental culture codes often result in managers throughout the organization bouncing back and forth between trying to make everyone happy or using people like objects to get things done. Fortunately, there is a better way.

Join award-winning, best-selling leadership authors Karin Hurt and David Dye to discover the secrets of building an intentional culture one interaction at a time. In this inspiring program you’ll get the tools you need to build a culture that encourages both confidence and humility and focus on both breakthrough results and healthy professional relationships.

• Learn how to develop a Winning Well culture and a sustainable competitive advantage
• Get the tools to ensure your vision is heard, understood, and implemented the way you intend.
• Ensure you and your senior team get the information you need to make the best decisions
• Receive proven management tools and techniques to cascade throughout your organization

MASTERING THE ART OF TOUGH CONVERSATION

Do you have a tough conversation you need to have, but are avoiding at all costs?

Have you ever regretted not having the tough conversation, as you watched someone you truly care about repeat a pattern that severely impacted your business?

Is your team speaking with the candor they need to own the ugly problems in your organization and make the best decisions?
