Management is dead. Motivational leadership is passé. Every major system is in the process of a major shift. Leadership in this new era requires the ability to think and lead others in new ways. Drawing on her 25 years of pioneering work with international leaders and peak performers in all fields, this inspirational business program will give you up-to-date information on new trends impacting your world. These days, everyone is the company can develop and use leadership skills. Do not wait to be told what to do. You know your company's values and mission. Make decisions based on those, and you cannot go far wrong. The worst thing you can do is to sit back and do nothing, with the excuse that you were not told. The most important activity during fast change is to keep moving forward, and the worst thing you can do when things are uncertain are to stop completely.

How much do high stress levels and work overload cost your company in lost work days, employee burnout, and decreased productivity? The workplace is so busy that very few have the time to take care of themselves, stay fit, and 'balance' their multiple roles. This high-energy, fun presentation will provide the latest research findings on stress, how to keep fully charged and full-speed ahead without getting off-road or out of fuel. Although real balance may not be possible these days, most people are playing the fool's game of trying to keep up; they doing too much and are unable to discriminate high payoff from low payoff activities.

Pressure conventional thinking can't keep up with exponential change. Many people have become complacent in their jobs (and their lives), and have stopped pushing themselves into new areas which may be uncomfortable for them. This is the perfect keynote speech for those who want their people to leave with new tools and ways of thinking that will create a mindset not of passivity and followership, but of activity and leadership. Creativity and innovation occur at the edge of discovery, when one is pushing oneself into new behaviors and ideas. Giants turned into extinct dinosaurs by playing by the old rules when the game had changed. This program is a wakeup call to the future, and is especially meaningful for incentive winners who, even though they are already top performers, need to keep raising the bar and not rest on the winner's pedestal.
