What is the Success Equation?

This speaker is a firm believer that success in any endeavour is a combination of both 'Hard Skills' and 'Soft Skills' with 'Soft Skills' being the greater part of the success equation. In addition, managing the achievement of anything is based on about a half-dozen habits that truly great managers have developed throughout their career. These success habits can be learned through trial and error over a long period of time or they can be obtained through keying into the experience of highly successful managers. This speaker has studied and practiced successful management over almost 4 decades and has identified what he believes are the 'Hard Skills', the 'Soft Skills' and the Habits that must be practiced by managers to succeed. If you are interested in becoming a better manager than you are today, you need to hear what this man has to say.

Leadership-an art or a science?

True leadership is based on a number of specific characteristics which all truly great leaders possess. These include things such as a high standard of personal ethics, high energy, courage, the ability to make tough decisions, an urge to create and to innovate along with many other characteristics. However, the most important one is the desire to help others succeed. A true leader is a sevant to his or her people.

Leadership is an art not a science. An effective leader in comparison to a short-term motivator has a lot to do with decisions as to how they lead their lives over the long term in relation to the various leadership characteristics. Explore the leadership characteristics with this speaker and work with him to become a person that people 'want' to work with rather than someone who people 'have' to work with.

Motivation - What's it all about?

Motivation is all about teaching techniques that can be used by people to motivate themselves over a long period of time rather than making a rousing speech. Sure, a rousing speech helps get people excited and it helps open a persons mind to acceptance of the techniques and the actions to be taken but the motivation that comes from that rousing speech doesn't last unless the person that hears it also learns and practice the techniques to maintain it.

This speaker not only presents an excellent, challenging, enjoyable, thought-provoking speech on motivation, he also provides the audience with techniques that will help the them to maintain the motivation that the speech delivered. Join this speaker for an engaging experience.
