Speech Topics

THE WARRIOR PHILOSOPHY FOR CHALLENGING TIMES

A superior business warrior is guided through an inner wisdom that is cultivated by facing life's challenges while questing for balance: "In action, you are swift and competent; in yielding, you are unabashed; in conquering, you are effective." The skilled business warrior overcomes inner timidity and considerations. Chin-Ning leads you in tapping into your natural state of perfect strength, perfect control and perfect detachment. This, in turn will assist you in using change as an opportunity to turn defeat into victory, while gallantly fulfilling noble business and personal objectives.

DIVERSITY FOR THE BOTTOM LINE

As the world rapidly moves towards a total saturation of a multi-variegated, truly global economy, the benefits of being proficient in dealing with the thorny questions of diversity are no longer defined by merely learning to get along with individuals whose cultural mores are vastly different from ours. Nor can its realization be limited to simplistically creating a synchronized work environment that accommodates someone sitting next you with a different skin color. Those companies committing sufficient resources towards the initiation of aggressive diversity programs will definitely achieve the worthy goals of a more compassionate, more harmonious work force. In turn, this translates into a dynamic, productive corporate culture and these surface changes are not the full extent of the advantages such primer organizations will receive.

THE WORKING WOMAN'S ART OF WAR

Explore the delights of winning without confrontation. Chin-Ning has two seeming disadvantages in the corporate arena: she is female and she is Chinese-American. However, eighty percent of her fans, audiences and readers are influential politicians and businessmen. Chin-Ning dispenses a powerful perspective on dynamic, proven strategies that each woman can use to get ahead in today's business world.

DO LESS, ACHIEVE MORE

By adopting the principles of Do Less, Achieve More, we are elevated from the ordinary agitated state of consciousness into an extraordinary level where desired objectives and results unfold with an uncommon ease of effort, thus positively effecting our practical day-to-day performance in all arenas of life.

LEADERSHIP ACCORDING TO SUN TZU'S ART OF WAR

Sun Tzu's Art of War, the ancient Chinese treatise on strategy, is most widely read business book in the world. Chin-Ning is the foremost authority on the practical application of Sun Tzu's principals and their applicability to the modern workplace.

THE ASIAN MIND GAME & STRATEGIES

The Asian business psyche and strategies have become so finely tuned over the last five thousand years that it is difficult for a Westerner to detect the subtleties and refinements in the rules of the game. In business and political negotiations, the Chinese refer to Americans with a word that means "innocent children." To win the game, "Know thyself, know thy opponent; hundred battles, hundred victories" is the main principle for victory. Chin-Ning is the first consultant/author to reveal to the West the inner workings of the Asian mind and how it influences and pervades the Asian behavior in all of their business dealings. Chin-Ning's extraordinary insight will provide your organization with that needed edge; saving your company years of time and an untold amount of dollars.
