Keynotes and Seminars

November 12th, 2011 · · Comments Off

When I’m not wearing my writer’s hat, I speak and train a lot.

Sample Topics

I specialize in helping businesses develop and implement energy management — that’s human energy, not the power grid,* work efficiency and employee productivity programs . In conjunction with Einblau & Associates, I offer one customized full-day session or two individual time management sessions:

I also do a half or full day sessions on customer service, efficiency, behavior change and productivity:

  • Managing Energy with the Customer In Mind
  • Know It and Do It: Using the Science of Behavior Change to Get Results
  • Online Content Development and Curation: 10 Keys to Generating Online Buzz
  • Presentations with Punch: Tips and Tricks for Smart Compelling Presentations
  • Microsoft OneNote: A Great Way to Manage Time and Information.

The Strength Deployment Inventory

For team managers and project supervisors, I administer and train the  Strength Deployment Inventory, a highly regarded, precise and practical assessment tool to help managers empower their staffs to communicate more effectively, especially during conflict.

  • Communication and Collaboration: Getting It Together, Getting it Done

Using the SDI, I train in the language of leadership and collaboration. This develops the individuals as well as the team, supporting a successful, timely outcome. I always include a heavy dose of energy management because without energy, none of us can remember to practice what we learn about communication!

If your project is critical to the success of the company – launching a brand or leading a cross functional implementation – the SDI’s high performance methodology brings trust, collaboration and big-time velocity to your team’s table.

Feel free to email me if you’d like to know how I can customize these sessions for your particular business or firm.

Check my Publicity and FAQ pages to learn more about me.

I specialize in working with engineers, programmers, accountants, and other knowledge workers who tend to look askance at soft skills subject matter.

*Energy Management

Energy management is an updated, biologically intelligent approach to time management. The basics are founded and supported by Sports Psychologist Tony Schwartz who wrote The Power of Full Engagement and runs The Energy Project. Energy Management gives managers and staff the tools they need to survive and thrive under tough conditions. The approach is also bottom-line practical. It’s as much about productivity and excellence as it is about balancing time and stressors. Energy management resonates strongly with knowledge workers at all levels of the business, technical, and engineering community.
