Target Audience:
The workshops are designed for the owner of the business or very senior leaders.  The subject matter will be directed at the level of an owner / decision maker and will focus on their specific actions and responsibilities to achieve the goals of the business.
Topics Covered:
This will be a six part series looking at the Key Aspects of the business structure that require the attention of the business leader.  Each session will stand alone to allow attendees to select topics of interest, and all six sessions will fit together to provide a cohesive approach to leading a business.  There will be a specific focus on communication skills and strategies that are intentionally and overtly woven through all of the sessions.
  1. “The Driving Force” – The Leader’s personal values fuel everything
  2. “Success is Clearly in View” – The Leader’s vision must be vivid and shared
  3. “The View From Your Clients Shoes – The Only Shoes That Matter” – Different and Advantageous!  A recipe for profit
  4. “Making Sure The Main Thing is The Main Thing” – Identifying Key Success Factors and acting on them
  5. “Making your Dreams a Reality” – Choosing the goals that will turn your VISION into a destination and motivate your people every day.
  6. Focus on Doing The Right Things – NOT Doing Things Right” – What to measure to ensure everyone on the team contributes to SUCCESS
Format:
The sessions will be very interactive and delivered in a workshop format.  Each workshop will contain an over arching lesson that will be taught in a variety of styles and will include applications that give the participants an opportunity to work on their own business while applying the lesson.
