Program Topics

Speeding To Effective Time Mastery;
Working Smarter, Not Harder
 With the complexities of the business world today, there never seems to be enough time to accomplish everything we need to do. Through this program participants will discover their own time management strengths and weaknesses leading to the development of a personal, effective time management strategy.
 

Your Management Success Formula
 With the increase in competition and changes in the workplace, the key to good management practices now requires a clear understanding of human behavior. Through this program managers will learn their own behavior style while they also receive a picture of the style of the people they have to manage. This information will allow them to better relate to and motivate their subordinates, and is also valuable in team building, hiring, and the correct placement of personnel.
 

Hiring, Placing and Motivating Excellent People
 The key to success within any organization is hiring the right person for the job and keeping them properly motivated. Through this seminar, participants will gain tools that can be used to determine the strengths and weaknesses of a potential employee, as well as the ability to determine the most appropriate placement of that person within the organization and, finally, what steps can be taken to keep them motivated.

INDUSTRY LEADERS' COMMENTS

"What a great kickoff to our convention! I've heard you speak before and knew that my members would be really excited about what you would be teaching them. The response was even better then I imagined with 96% rating your programs Excellent or Good and most selected Excellent! You got them involved and really held their attention. Best of all, they were still talking about your sessions throughout the entire conference."

Alison Cody
MAFSI Executive Director
Manufacturers' Agents Association for the Foodservice Industry
"Thank you for the outstanding presentation! Our folks really enjoyed it, and talk around the stores is that they are using it and staying calmer. I know I certainly benefited from it."

William B. Stubbs, III,
Assistant Director of Human Resources
The Red Food Stores, Inc
"Your participation was certainly the contributing factor to the overall success of this year's seminar program."

Brian R. Jordan, President

Fran Gilbert, Executive Director

“Thanks for providing such a fun, interactive keynote presentation. Our participants practiced their newly learned techniques on each other after your session and most of Friday morning. You were an excellent choice of speakers for our diner program."

Kathleen N. Hensley, Manager,
Training & Development
Food Marketing Institute
“We are constantly looking for ways to motivate and strengthen our sales team. Your seminar hit a "bulls eye". The presentation kept everyone's interest because of how it relates to our daily business and personal interactions. Plain and simple, 'It was fun', fun to listen to and fun to participate."

Jack Provenzano, Managing Partner
Southeast Sales and Marketing
"Thank you so much for your wonderful presentation at our Annual Leadership Conference. In the follow up survey, your talk realized 96% as either Excellent or Good. Those results are a true testament to your ability to deliver a seminar that was at the same time hard-hitting, and hitting- home. Since the participants returned from that conference I've heard, and have seen first hand how they have used the information they learned with their peers and co-workers. You helped them open their minds to different ways to look at communication between individuals and groups, keeping in mind how others approach various situations. These newfound skills will surely help all of my people become more effective communicators, and thereby more productive."

Karl Konrad
Director of Marketing & Sales
Leprino Foods Dairy Products Company
"Thank you so much for your excellent presentation at our recent Training & Development Forum. As you can see from the enclosed Evaluation Tabulation, it was, unsurprisingly, rated as the #1 session!"

For your general session, you received a 4.89  for content and 5.12 for delivery out of a possible six. And the breakout session scored 5.25 for content and 5.29 for  delivery. Our attendees obviously were pleased with your sessions."

"Thanks for putting on a very successful "Switched On Selling" Seminar. I am looking forward to the positive results and have "switched myself on" to deal with a number of issues myself. "

Vincent T. Keller
President and CEO

"The audience was captivated the entire time and I've seen first hand that the knowledge gained was carried back and shared with others who were not able to attend and participate. Through your engaging and amusing  presentation, you were able to prove to us all the strength and invaluable power of "positive thinking"."
