Raise Your Game: Individual Performance
This program is ideal for any organization looking to maximize each team member’s performance and productivity.
The number one investment you can make is the investment in yourself. To achieve a greater level of success, you must be intentional in developing yourself mentally, physically, and emotionally. If you want more, you must become more.
The key to raising your individual performance and expanding your contributions and significance lies in your ability to master these five fundamentals:
Self-Awareness
Passion
Discipline
Coachability
Confidence
This can only be achieved by closing Performance Gaps (the gap between what you know and what you do). In this powerful program, Alan teaches practical strategies to heighten self-awareness, create winning habits and routines, and improve productivity.
Regardless of title or tenure, attendees walk away with actionable steps to:
Align your habits with your core values and beliefs
Improve your Emotional Intelligence (EQ)
Develop a true winner’s mindset
Learn to be present in the moment
Earn confidence while maintaining humility
Manage change and create a process for progress
This program is ideal for the player looking to improve individual performance and/or contributions to the team (company-wide events, all-hands meetings, teams, employees, and/or entrepreneurs).
Raise Their Game: Leadership Performance
This program is perfect for any business leader (execs, directors, managers, or supervisors) striving to level up their personal influence and impact.
How have some organizations been able to sustain unparalleled success while others are sporadic and inconsistent? Simple… it’s their leadership. A team will never outperform its leadership. A leader’s primary job is to create an environment where people feel safe, included, appreciated, valued, respected, inspired, empowered, and challenged. Employees need to know they have the resources and support to star in their specific role and make a meaningful contribution to the team.
Shift your focus as a leader from what you want from your team to what you want for them… and watch things improve quickly!
The key to raising your leadership performance and amplifying your impact and influence is a direct result of how well you master these five fundamentals:
Vision
Culture
Servanthood
Character
Empowerment
Successful leaders create the type of high-performing culture that drives long-term results. They have a firm grasp of their identity, they uphold high standards of excellence, and they foster an atmosphere of collective accountability.
This program is vital for any leader who aspires to:
Become the leader you would want to follow
Attract, develop, support, and retain top talent
Build a championship culture (align beliefs & behavior)
Establish unparalleled trust, respect, inclusiveness, and buy-in
Coordinate everyone’s effort to produce astonishing results
Raise Our Game: Organizational Performance
This program was designed for organizations looking to improve their teamwork and ability to collaborate effectively.
The highest-performing organizations find and attract; train and develop; empower and support; and push and praise great people. They emphasize professional and personal development.
Elite teams promote shared ownership, individual responsibility, and collective accountability by clearly establishing each team member’s role, creating buy-in and believe-in with their role, and rewarding those that star in their role.
The key to raising organizational performance and building a winning culture is a result of how well your teams master these five fundamentals:
Belief
Unselfishness
Role Clarity
Communication
Cohesion
An organization’s leadership team has one primary job: to find out what each team member does well and best utilize that skill set for the team’s benefit. They understand the power of “what drives you needs to be good for us, and what drives us needs to be good for you.” And they know that a motivated, happy, engaged team member directly affects other aspects of the business.
This program is a must-attend for any team that aspires to:
Empower each team member to be consistently exceptional
Emphasize the value of diversity, open-mindedness, and inclusion
Eliminate entitlement, selfishness, and complacency
Improve the efficiency and effectiveness of communication
Deliver honest, real-time feedback to heighten competence
Sales Performance: Raise Your Sales
This program was created for sales professionals looking to increase their pipeline of leads and overall conversion rate.
No matter what your sales system is or how rich your pipeline might be, if you’re not implementing the habits that elite performers use regularly, your ability to execute and close sales will always be limited. In other words… you (and your sales) will underperform.
Finding leads, qualifying leads, following up, and servicing clients depletes us of our two most precious resources – time and energy. Filled with stories, stats, and actionable steps, Alan will share how to maximize both time and energy, as well as teach strategies for what to control, what to let go, and how to trust the process. This program is critical for anyone who wants to improve his or her sales performance.
In this session, attendees will learn the most effective strategies to:
Shift your mindset from selling to solving
Become a world-class active listener (telling is not selling)
Consistently create quality touches (sales is a high-contact game)
Learn to care more about the prospect than making the sale
Develop unparalleled relationships
Sustaining Excellence: Sustain Your Game
This program is intended for any organization looking to support and empower their team by improving their work/life balance and better managing stress.
What do the most successful people do to continually get better? Sustaining high performance in business and life boils down to the ability to develop strategies for leveling up three key areas:
PERFORM is about managing stress in the day to day (short term)
PIVOT is about avoiding stagnation in your current situation (medium term)
PREVAIL is about beating burnout and making a lasting impact (long term)
Known for the actionable strategies and tools for achieving high performance in his signature program, Raise Your Game, Alan Stein, Jr. takes the next step with this program – teaching audiences how to remain there. Sustain Your Game offers a different approach: improve productivity, impact, results, and fulfillment… while simultaneously decreasing burnout, attrition, and stress.
Sustain Your Game will empower every attendee to:
Heighten clarity on your true purpose
Embrace ways to maximize the unseen hours
View accountability from your inner circle as a gift
Effectively improve emotional intelligence
Create standards and systems to sustain fulfillment
Next Play: How to Focus on What Matters Most and Improve Performance, Productivity, & Fulfillment
High performance is not complicated. Prepare during the unseen hours, work toward mastery of the fundamentals, and make discipline decisions consistently. But what happens when you do those things and still fall short? When you do everything in your power and come up empty, miss your goal, or lose the game?
How do you respond?
How do you bounce back?
How do you maintain optimism and confidence?
You develop a Next Play Mindset.
You lean into the fact that what just happened isn’t nearly as important as what is happening right now—your Next Play.
Practical, actionable ways for individuals and teams to implement Next Play:
Short-Term Focus:
When you get knocked off course—missed a shot, made a mistake, had a rough conversation—shift your focus from what just happened to what’s happening right now. That’s your power zone.
Long-Term Direction: Next Play isn’t only moment-to-moment—it’s about life’s big picture. Shift your focus from what was to what is. That’s how you start fresh, no matter how the last chapter ended.
Goal Navigation: Whether you crushed your goal or fell short, the question is the same: What now? Next Play keeps you from plateauing after success and from spiraling after failure. It’s your reset button for momentum. A Next Play Mindset doesn’t mean forgetting the past. It means honoring it—learning from it—and then refusing to let it define you.
This keynote is designed to show how reaching the top of your game doesn’t require more. It requires less but better.
The Next Play Mindset is the ultimate guide for individuals and organizations who want to close the gap between where they are and where they want to be. Oh, and the Next Play Mindset isn’t just a performance strategy—it’s a life strategy. One that helps you manage transitions, bounce back from adversity, stay centered, adapt quickly, reduce stress, and let go of resentment.
