Speaker Programs
Staying Alive… Wait Until You’re Dead Before You Die!
As the world continues to evolve around us, how do we stay motivated, continue to learn and laugh more? Keeping a positive attitude and dealing with change is a full-time Job.
Change Was Changed Before It Was Changed
All of us are changing on a daily basis, and many times our worst change becomes our best change. Using real-life examples and laughter, Mike McKinley helps people react positively and adapt to change in their life and work.
If it Weren’t for Those Darn Customers We Could Get our Work Done Around Here!
In this changing and competitive world businesses are constantly working to get their “Share of the Pie.” That pie might not be getting larger, so how do we gain and retain customers? How do we get closer to our customers, and make our business one that people CHOOSE again and again? Mike’s been in the “customer” business all his working life, and provides answers to those questions in his recent book, “They have the Money.”
Super VISION… Becoming a Resource to Your People
Leadership of others begins with self-leadership skills. Leadership skills grow through the experience of teaching others, as opposed to just telling others what to do. Leaders who individually grow their people, are available, and create a working environment that is positive, enjoyable, and fun will be the team leaders in the years ahead.
Working in Harmony… Making Music from the Same Song Sheet
Working together works better… however… being creative, solving problems and moving the “process along” becomes challenging. Winning teams are developed and built. Successful team members understand the necessity of self-learning, comprehend the importance of their role in the organization, and recognize their personal and powerful impact on each other.
Safety in the Workplace… You Make the Difference
Safety is about creating an environment where standards are set and enforced. All staff members are responsible for themselves individually and for those around them. Safety is not a training session; safety is a way of life and the way we do business.
The Great Balancing Act…. Work AND Home
Helping people achieve better success at work translates into better success away from work so people can invest in and enjoy their relationships, non-work tasks and free time. Being balanced means staying motivated, counteracting worry and procrastination, and focusing on a higher quality of life.
