The Power of the Unspoken Word

Body language matters when leaders communicate – whether one-on-one or with a large audience. Quite often, it is what you don’t say that counts. People reveal their true feelings and emotions via body language. Understanding these “signs” can be used to your advantage, to help you motivate and bond, present ideas with credibility, and authentically project your personal brand.

bully in the workplace

Bullying in the workplace happens more often than you think. One of four employees have experienced workplace bullying. Bullying can be subtly masked, but still be as damaging as more obvious examples. Out of fear it often goes unreported, and others are unsure of what conduct constitutes bullying.  In this intimate session we will examine what is workplace bullying, how it feels and what you can do to stop it.

Leadership Is a Choice-Not a Title

Just because you have a "title" doesn't mean that you are a leader.  Your title does not make you a leader.  It takes heart and passion. Find out what really makes a leader and how you can inspire others - even when you don't have that special title.  Leaders come from all job titles and locations.  Leadership is your choice.  You can establish yourself as a leader by your attitude, actions, and behavior.  Natural leaders stand out in a crowd with magnetism that attracts others. Leadership has an impact on the bottom line in several ways:  promote positive revenue, increase reputation scores, improve productivity and much more!

stop the employee revolving door

Unfortunately, many properties and companies struggle with high employee turnover.  Job jumping is ramped.  Quiet quitting is the new norm. Turnover is expensive and damaging to your reputation.  Recruiting is time consuming and competitive.  To thrive in today’s economy, finding and retaining top talent is vital.  So, what do you do?  Team members need to feel valued and part of something they can be proud of.  A people first and resilient team will work together to get through whatever is put in front of them and emerge stronger.   It starts with you!  

"My favorite thing to do is to inspire leaders to love their work even more and to adore their team. Sharing stories, concepts and ideas is a way for me to help companies create more value, build successful teams and have fun doing it."
