"Whiners to Winners—Getting the Best from the Rest™"

 

In today’s work environment, most of an employee's work is completed away from the direct supervision of the manager or supervisor. As a result, a major accountability for all managers, leaders, mentors and coaches should be obvious—to develop employees into self-managers! While we can't dispute the merits of this business imperative, the reality is that many current management practices run contrary to the basic laws of human behavior and end up working against the self-management concept!

 

This presentation will provide each attendee with practical, common sense knowledge on how to build a culture of peak performance. Topics will include: self-management, coaching versus coaxing, gaining authentic commitment, and effective feedback models.

 

 


This keynote presentation focuses mainly on the management practices that will create a culture of peak performance. The target audience would include front-line managers, middle management, performance coaches, formal mentors, human resource professionals, training and development personnel, and high potential employees (who are being groomed for management).

Although each keynote presentation has a foundation of material that is always utilized, Neil takes great pride in customizing each presentation to ensure that it's timely, relevant and exactly what the audience needs to hear.
