Positive living. How to succeed in all aspects of life through positive core changes.
This hands on workshop, focuses on truly making life changes that will impact every decision you make going forward. I make sure every participant “owns” these lessons and uses them to live a life filled with success and passion; there is no surface fluff here! (I taught this class in prison and helped many inmates learn how to begin life over and discover the passion that burns inside. If I can crack the shell of an inmate, I can certainly help your attendees.)
I make sure my sessions are packed tightly with information; there is no fluff and they are run efficiently. I realize everyone is busy, plus I always hated boring meetings myself.

Some of the highlights include:
  • Developing a personal mission statement
  • Discovering the art of listening
  • Being proactive; YOU decide how things affect you, and YOU create your own future.
  • Fear and risk equal opportunities; not limitations.
  • Establishing short and long term goals, and then implementing techniques to attain them.
  • The optimist strives for success and achieves it, while the pessimist expects defeat and is rarely disappointed.
  • Discover your own personal calling and passion in life.
  • Seek first to understand, then to be understood.
  • Live life based on passion and not obsession.
  • Life is all about transitional experiences; these make us who we are today.
  • You always have a choice.
  • Be thankful for at least one thing every day!
  • Live each day as if it were your last one.
  • Live in the present.
  • Keep life simple.

Individuals will have assignments during and after each session.
Included in this course is a personal follow up session 6 months after the course is completed to ensure the changes are implemented and individuals do not go back to their old habits. Personal contact with each individual will be available after the course to help answer questions and maintain open communication. The follow up sessions are equally as important as the course itself; I have seen many coaches give a course, collect their check, and then feel as though their commitment was done. I am the complete opposite and want to make sure the lessons learned are implemented and people make real changes in their lives.

There is a difference between clients and customers; which one do you have?
This is crucial to understand for any company who deals with the public and wants to increase their referrals and loyalty. Learn why sometimes it is ok to turn away business. Most organizations are focused only on the sale and getting paid then they miss the golden opportunity to develop long term relationships that will reap benefits for many years to come.

Helping managers become coaches
Today’s successful companies are developing open lines of communication throughout all levels of the corporate structure. Learn how coaches get the most out of everyone around them and help others become better today than they were yesterday. Discover ways to bring passion and enthusiasm out of all your employees and the benefits they gain by looking at your staff as a “coach” and not a “boss”.

Ethics, where are we headed?
The working environment has become so demanding that employees and managers are being pushed to find the gray areas to increase the corporate bottom line. Discover how small decisions can lead into big problems and potentially turn into a public relations nightmare for a corporation. This presentation will examine daily choices we all make that may be unethical and then explore how we all find ways to justify our own decisions even though they may be unethical.

Failure is the first step towards success
We all face adversity every day and sometimes things do not turn out the way we planned. Discover how mistakes are merely learning experiences and meant to shape us into the people we are supposed to become. Recognize how these events are transitional experiences that can drive you forward or bring you down; it is how you perceive them and what you do with them that matters.

Understanding and succeeding with your investments
I have been asked at several of my presentations to give investment advice, so I am now offering this service. However, I would like to offer this free of charge as an incentive/perk to your company when selecting another workshop.
This seminar can be as short as 20 minutes or as long as 3 hours, depending on how much time you have and how advanced or detailed you would like the presentation to be.
I managed $100 million dollars for ultra high net worth individuals and companies while I was in the investment business. Plus, I was responsible for giving weekly/monthly/quarterly investment training sessions to 140 investment advisors. In addition I gave many public investment seminars and was asked to speak at many regional and national sales conferences.
I make sure everyone understands investing because I keep it simple.
The seminar is done in a generic style and can be applied to any 401k, IRA, or any investment available. I teach people how to feel comfortable investing and understand the investments they currently own, as well as avoiding crucial mistakes people make every single day! Your attendees leave feeling good about investing and this is another perk you can give them to help them build self esteem.

One additional point; I am adamant about making sure everyone who wants to change will be given the opportunity to change. If I need to spend one-on-one time with someone I will! I learned a long time ago that money comes and goes, but relationships last a life time. I do not charge any extra fee for additional time spent working with the individuals; if I can help another person change their life, then my role as a coach has been successful. I pride myself on making sure the “job” is done right and never worry about the small stuff; I truly want to develop a long term relationship with each organization and make sure you are a client of mine. I will not enter into a contract with your company if you only want to be a “customer.”

I do not want to be like most other speakers and give a presentation, and then leave once I am paid; there is no value there. Plus, in my eyes you have then become a customer, and as I mentioned before, I only want to do business with clients. (Having you as a long term client and a referral source is much more important to me than receiving a onetime fee.)

Your organization will receive immediate benefits from the changes in your associates and an increased self worth by each individual.
