MASTERING THE STORY

Have you ever considered the power of the stories you tell yourself? As humans, we subconsciously connect experiences and seek meaning in everything we encounter. Those encounters form stories and are often rooted entirely in experiences from our past (both good and bad). The problem with these stories is that they have the power to become triggers for negative emotion and drama. If we can learn to control the story we form in our minds without knowing facts, we have the power to control our feelings. As an organization, you have three key audiences for your story. First, you have the internal story your employees are telling themselves. Then, you have a board or governing body telling themselves a story. Finally, you have an outward story you are sharing with your audience–constituents, association members, or customers–that you want them to hear and understand. Outcomes: • In this keynote, we will help you master the story you are telling yourself, • Discover how to position that story to your internal and external audiences • Learn how to protect your confidence as a leader so you keep those stories held in the best positive light. If you can manage the story, you can manage the outcome. ...less

A pack can only run the speed of its slowest runner. Our research shows that when a team member is motivated and held accountable, the entire speed of the pack increases and runs together. But when that same team member is doing the bare minimum—or worse, quiet quitting–the team is dramatically held back from its full potential. The key to motivation lies in the understanding of the emotions driving the actions of your team. That’s why emotion and motivation share the same root word. Discovering the motivation that pushes your team members to act is best achieved through the identification of their Goals, Passions, or Struggles, or what we call their GPS™. Outcomes: • We will teach how to communicate with your team members and connect with their hearts using the GPS™ framework. If you can win over their hearts, you can win over their hands. • We will also teach how to reformat your questions to keep your team proactive instead of reactive. • Participants will master two additional coaching techniques that have been proven to help people change behavior. ...less

The topic of employee retention in a tight labor market has perhaps never been more important than it has been over the past two years. Since the COVID-19 pandemic shook up the global economy with every kind of disruption it could muster, the long term impact on the labor market in the United States has seen the largest effect on the shortage of available workers in a variety of fields. And when it is proving challenging to find the right team members for the job, the focus shifts to the importance of retaining the strong employees you do have. At Leadership Development Group, this topic has always been an important element of our training, consulting, and workshop series. Building a strong team that is productive and happy is a defining achievement for any leader. In this Keynote specifically developed to address hiring and retention in the post Great Resignation and “quiet quitting” eras, participants will experience the following outcomes: Outcomes: • Explore the eight motives of people and how to utilize them to develop rapport • Master the skill of artful communication to increase buy-in • Develop two techniques that will remove the emotional drama that kills engagement ...less

Despite the fact that there are ample opportunities for organizations to grow utilizing their current teams, many leaders still face hurdles. Our signature keynote address, Creating Drama Free Teams builds the ultimate foundation to increased productivity, retention, and overall employee satisfaction.

Nothing makes a better impression on people than the ability to lead yourself. ...less

Dennis did a great job ‘breaking the ice’ with our facilities staff (an often tough audience). One of the first things Dennis did was an exercise that required the team to talk to each other and work together. From that point forward he had their attention and interest. The content was perfect. Dennis focused on…
