If you want to change an organization, you have to lead with a change of heart—a change of spirit. The spirit in which we do anything determines the outcome, whether positive or negative. People are no longer a company's most important asset; the spirit in which they do things is! People with a positive spirit are inspired, motivated, excited about what they do, and create strong, lasting relationships. Once our hearts are engaged in what we are doing, and we see what we do as fulfilling work—not just as a job, then how we work is transformed. This purpose-/spirit-driven culture is the culture of the future. The new generations are demanding it, Baby Boomers are seeking it, and everyone wants it! This keynote radically affects group dynamics—it breaks down barriers so that learning, networking, and connection continue not only during the meeting, but for the long term. This session is full of techniques that will help leaders:

Change and stress go hand in hand. Learning about how the brain actually can and does change (neuroplasticity), that adults learn more quickly than children, and that our brains need change to stay vibrant and alert transforms the way people perceive change. This means instead of being a stressor, change can be welcomed as an opportunity to grow and develop—and live, fully alive—longer! This is a fun session designed to:

• Address today's tough economic climate.
• Put things in perspective.
• Help people refocus on what's important.

Yes, men and women are from different planets, but a slight shift in perception is all it takes to have them understanding, appreciating, and admiring each other for unique talents. Relationships are like living, breathing organisms and they need nurturing, watering, and care. In this session find out what the other person wants and needs, and how to nurture. This session can be related to sales, customer service, negotiating, call centers, business relationships, or personal relationships and can focus on gender differences or not. Keynote speaker Amanda Gore teaches:

• Specific ways to communicate with the opposite sex.
• Practical tools that will help avoid conflict and build trust.

Traditional sales courses focus on communication styles and techniques that are still important but everyone knows them. Teach your team the latest subtle verbal and non-verbal techniques to create partnerships—not just relationships—with your clients or customers. Partnerships are the next level to aspire towards—while everyone else is just working on relationships, you can be focused on creating true long term partnerships!

There are many secrets to enhancing rapport, connection, and delivering unpalatable messages without destroying relationship as well as building ongoing loyalty with customers or clients. All relate to our ability to communicate and connect. This session explores how to find out what our clients really want, at much deeper levels than before, which then allows us to serve their real needs better than our competitors—and with more flexibility, options and choices.
