• Sticking to It
  The game is won by those who EXECUTE their strategies.
  
  Challenges for today’s leaders are always changing, but the formula for winning remains the same. The key to winning the game is focusing on "how" more than "what". In other words, strategy gets you in the game – execution gets you in the winner’s circle.
  
  Based on the best selling book, this fast-paced, interactive workshop reveals the secret to success for high achieving individuals and teams: Focus, Competence and Passion.
  
  
• Orchestrating Attitude
  What’s the single most important choice you can make for your team?
  
  Your choice of Attitude!
  
  The right choice can help you and your team:
  
  * Focus on things that yield positive results.
  * Make better decisions by asking the right questions.
  * Prevail over obstacles to meeting goals.
  
  Additionally, a landmark study shed light on the ultimate benefit of a positive attitude. In this particular study, participants who were more positive lived an average of 10 years longer than the other participants. Considering that smoking has been shown to reduce life expectancy by 5.5 years for men and 7 years for women, your attitude might be a health risk factor worth paying real attention to.
  
  The topic of attitude can be conceptual and confusing. In fact, as we go through life we often hear phrases like: "keep your chin up," "look on the bright side" or "you need a winning attitude." Unfortunately, we seldom know how convert these soft sayings into hard results.
  
  The great news is that even in the worst situations your attitude is something you can always control!
  
  
• 7 Moments
  How long does it take to build Leadership Excellence?
  
  Just moments...defining moments, that is.
  
  Defining moments might be positive or negative, but either way, we are never the same after experiencing one. These moments shape the leaders we are and the leaders we will become.
  
  The difference between average and excellent can be found in moments... literally.
  
  * The moment we commit ourselves to a goal.
  * The moment we create a compelling plan to realize our vision.
  * The moment of honest self-reflection that urges us to take action.
  * The moment we feel that our team is really starting to click.
  * The moment we decide to invest in others.
  * The moment we face our fears and choose to change.
  * The moment we take a stand for what we believe.

• Passionate Performance
  Did you know that 83% of U.S. gross domestic product comes from services or information which are created and delivered by people?
  
  The challenge for leaders is revealed in a Gallup poll showing that only 26% of U.S. employees are fully engaged at any time. On the other end of the spectrum, 19% of employees are actively disengaged, meaning they intentionally act in ways that negatively impact their organizations. The annual cost nationwide to employ this actively disengaged group exceeds $300 billion.
  
  Your people – and the performance they deliver – are the defining competitive advantage for your organization.
  
  Your leaders are the key to engaging employees’ minds and hearts so they deliver value for your organization.

  Power Exchange
  This new "X/Y" workforce has different expectations about work. Today’s X/Y workers:
  
  • want to know "what the deal is"– exactly what you want from them and what you have to offer them.
  • have a need to be fully engaged at work to help them find a sense of meaning in their jobs and to remain satisfied.
  • feel less connected to the company, and as a result, rely on their supervisors more than any other individual for information, goal clarity, policy interpretation, training, etc.
  • expect their input to really matter and will leave if they see it doesn’t.
  
  Coupled with this demographic shift is the shortage of more than 10 million workers in just five years.
  
  These new workforce dynamics and shrinking talent pool create a new leadership challenge. If this challenge is ignored it will leave leaders behind the curve of success. Those who embrace it will boost their team’s competitive advantage and be the leaders of tomorrow.
  
  The X/Y workforce will require powerful leadership. Unlike yesterday’s leaders, today’s leaders must exchange their power for employee performance.
