a one hour Teleseminar

Mark your calendar for Thursday, Nov 8th and be sure to sign up on the form to the left.  That way, you'll get all of the call in info.  

In this abbreviated version of this full day seminar, we'll cover:

* Keep score  -- want greater impact at work?  Try this ultimate scoring method

* Until you grasp this critical mindset, no amount of time will be enough

* Why 97% of "to do" lists are not worth the paper they're written on and specific strategies for making yours a path to productivity and prosperity 

* The talent that American companies will pay big money for, and an exact process for how you can start cultivating that talent today!  

* Where 28% of every work day goes (HINT – it's not spent working!) and how to plug up the productivity leak

* How to recognize if you're a high activity or low activity procrastinator and what to do if you are – Either one is the kiss of death

Here's a description of the full day version of this seminar:

"Power Up Your Productivity: How to Reclaim Momentum, Energy and Drive and Love Your Job"

First, the problem:  According to salary.com and Online America, American workers confess that they waste an average of 1.7 hours everyday.  Unfortunately, people who work in public  service (non-education fields) rank #2 in the list of "Top Time-wasting Industries" self-reporting that they blow off a staggering 2.4 hours of every day

So, if the average person in your organization is completely unproductive an average of 2.4 hours daily, and they make $40,000 a year, then each person is costing your organization $12,000 in pay collected for services not rendered

If you have 30 people in your office who match this profile, that's costing your agency $360,000 every year.

While no reasonable person expects no one to ever waste any time, (even HR managers figure into compensation budgeting that the average employee will waste 0.94 hours a day) the discrepancy between productivity expectations and reality is staggering.

Second, the solution: Plug up productivity leaks with these proven processes and successful strategies to cut through the mental, emotional and physical clutter that saps your spirit and derails your purpose. Learn tactics to blow past procrastination once and for all and master the systems that yield maximum return on your investment of time, energy and effort.

This productivity-building and attitude-enhancing Program covers:

* The career-building, credibility-enhancing system for keeping you focused and working on the right tasks (Special bonus, this is a great career management tool)

* Best practices of highly productive professionals, these processes allow them to get more done with less stress and effort

* Managing multiple projects?  This 8-step system that ensures each one progresses smoothly

* The simple yet powerful formula that lets you predict what gets done – use it to quickly get back on track and energized when you've been distracted 

* The powerful perspective shift that will help you stare down the fear factor and keep your momentum going

* #1 most important question to ask yourself throughout the day.

* 4 step order of goal setting and achievement

* Top ten time wasters and how to tame them.

Social Savvy: Advanced EQ (Emotional Intelligence) Principles That Every Successful Professional Knows"

Without the social intelligence to garner buy-in and cooperation from others, your level of technical brilliance is inconsequential.  Absent finely-tuned people skills which simplify your work and enrich your life, you're always going to be working a lot harder than you need to.

And it's not enough to get along with the easy-going people of the world.  Statistically speaking half the people you know are below average. So, half the population have barely average or below average people skills. Yikes!

So what does this have to do with you?  Well, like it or not, we need each other's cooperation to get where we want to be in life, both personally and professionally.  You cannot reach the level of success or the quality and quantity of results you aspire to without the support of this critical so-called "difficult" part of the population. 

This program provides you with cutting-edge perspectives and processes you need to shift your judgment of challenging people to one that enables you not only to "deal with" them, but to inspire, persuade and positively engage them in mutually profitable pursuits.

Additionally, we'll cover the "key skills" and "social capital" concepts that accelerate success and minimize stress.  This is one of the secrets behind every successful professional's rapid growth.  Miss it, and the consequences include career stagnation, or worse, career derailment.

* How to actually be glad about the fact that there are "difficult people" in the world

* The essential difference between confrontation and influence – overlook this point and others will resent even positive intentions

* Social capital, what it is and how to cultivate this ultimate payoff for improving your level of Emotional Intelligence

* How to make sure YOU are not someone else's difficult person, and what to do when you suspect you are

* When being a slave to "authenticity" blocks your potential

* How to deliver bad news in a way that inspires rather than degrades

* The 4 general communication profiles and how to know how others judge you

* Process for identifying key skills and natural strengths so success comes easier and faster

*  How to discover your weaknesses and blind spots – when to know what to tweak and what to let slide
