(Leadership Development/Change)
You’re busy. You are already feeling overloaded. You’d like to build greater capacity in yourself and members of your team, but where would you find the time? In short, you want to take your leadership to the next level, but the question is “How?” You need a fresh and practical blueprint. Jones Loflin says that new approach is built on four words: Grow, Cultivate, Prune, and Harvest.
In this innovative and engaging presentation built on the timeless practices of a gardener, Jones equips leaders to identify where change is needed in their daily activities and take productive action. It’s time to get “growing” and harvest something better for your people and your organization.
“Jones was excellent to work with. He met with members of our team numerous times prior to his presentation in order to customize the content. This was extremely helpful.”
“Thank you so much for being our keynote presenter Friday afternoon. You did an excellent job incorporating content from earlier in the day into your presentation. I’ve heard many, many positive comments yesterday and today about how much folks enjoyed and valued the time and content. The day flowed perfectly.”
“Jones was excellent! I was thoroughly impressed. His presentation was excellent, as I expected, but what set him apart was that he’d taken time to learn a little about what the audience does and he expertly wove that into the presentation and kept bringing it back to what they did. It really made the audience engage with him. I was very impressed. Overall feedback from attendees on site has been very positive. So thank you! He’s a great speaker and I hope to invite him back in the future.”
“Jones was a hit with the attendees. I had numerous folks come up to me and express their appreciation for his discussion. It was also nice to have him attend our cocktail and dinner party where he mingled with everyone. All in all a very positive experience.”
“Jones was indeed well received. And I even commented to someone that when I first met him, you would have thought we’d known each other for a long time! It was great and he made you feel very at ease! He was great at keeping the audience engaged and they came away from his seminar commenting on, “sure gave me a lot to think about” and “maybe I need to change a few things like Jones said and my life won’t be so hectic”!”
“Jones Loflin understands us. From our ever-expanding schedules and inability to say “no” to any person or project, to the rewarding experience of serving our communities, Jones just gets it. He tailors his seminars on work/life balance so intuitively for the audience that each attendee walks away feeling as if they’d had a personal coaching session, even in a group of 300. His infectious positivity and high-energy presentation make him a natural choice for your event.”

“Jones was a great speaker and I am hoping we can have him again in our future meetings. He connected to people and made them laugh, it was worthwhile.”
