- Winning is No Accident
Every day massive accomplishments are realized all over the world: diseases being cured; teams winning championships; innovative products going to market; and a host of other positive experiences. These things do not happen by accident. They happen as the direct results of certain fundamental principles. The good news is they aren't a secret; they aren't hidden in some far-off locale, waiting to be unearthed. They are ready and available for you right now. While these life and business-transforming principles are simple, they are not always simple to implement.
Here is an opportunity to learn and apply EXACTLY what you need to do to accomplish outstanding results.
Participants will learn:
-The equation that creates the highest likelihood of success
-The four key principles to pacing yourself effectively
-How to deal with obstacles and opportunities - How to Build a High-Performance Culture
What do you stand for? What does your company stand for? Are your values clear? Are they obvious to customers, staff, and the community? Is your company optimally positioned and differentiated by the consistent application of your vision and core values?
Most leaders and organizations are moving at such a rapid pace that taking a step back to think about these things seems like a luxury when, in fact, it couldn't be more crucial. It doesn't matter where your company and your industry stands in the growth cycle. Focusing on who you are and what you stand for is the most critical thing you can do.
Participants will learn:
-How to identify and apply their core values to their leadership
-How to align their behavior with what they say they believe
-How to be powerfully influential regardless of level of authority
-How to build accountability and improve efficiency - Start Fast: The Path Forward
The challenges in your industry are unique and rapidly changing. This can create a feeling of playing constant catch-up, making reactive decisions, and trying to stay on track. If you neglect to address these stressors in your life and the lives of your team members, you are accepting a lack of focus, productivity, satisfaction, and fulfillment.
It doesn't have to be this way.
Assumptions:
-You’re smart
-You have good intentions
-Sometimes there is a gap between what you intend to do and what you actually do
What strong, successful finishers do:
-Narrow Focus. What can you control?
-Eliminate or Decrease noise. What’s going in your eyes and ears?
-Manage Energy. This prevents burnout far more than “time management”.
Focus On:
-Moving toward outcomes. What are the positive changes you want to see in your life? This is more motivating than moving away from things, fear isn’t a good long-term motivator.
-High Gain Activity. What’s the one thing that would have the most productive and profitable impact on your business if you did it all the time?
What Fast Starters Do:
-Eliminate drag
-Build momentum
6 Things to Do Next:
