FROM THOUGHTS TO REALITY

What Others Won’t or Can’t Tell You about Advanced Planning

A winning outcome is born as much from how leaders think as it is from what they think.

Considering the transformative impact of just one decision—both good and bad—and the fact that countless decisions are made in organizations minute by minute causing limitless possible outcomes to hang in the balance, it’s critical that leaders have a proven, reliable way of planning and thinking smarter so that they and their organizations produce winning outcomes.

In this presentation, David Goldsmith teaches audience members about a powerful combination of new planning tools, counter-intuitive approaches, and eye-opening perspectives that empower leaders to make rapid and highly transformative outcomes.

Depending on the audience’s needs and the program length, this presentation teaches leaders how to:

Use an advanced model for strategic planning that improves individual and organizational outcomes at short-term, inter-mediate, five-year, and future points in time.

Gain an accurate big-picture perspective and use it as the foundation for daily planning and action.

Forecast future opportunities and trends so that plans deliver long-term rewards.

Develop practical, workable plans that stakeholders can use on a daily basis to keep everyone on track toward reaching desired outcomes.

Stop viewing their ideas as plans and get down to actionable measures that produce results.

Adopt a view of “execution” that drastically enhances achievement rather than hinders it.

Identify and reverse the danger signs that surface when leaders are working from no plans rather than from great plans.

Employ techniques that gain buy-in internally and externally.

This program’s value continually increases in the months and years after an event ends, because it delivers unique, proven, and powerful tools that truly transform every leader who incorporates them into their careers and lives.

THE 4 D’S OF INNOVATION

Disrupt, Differentiate, Dominate and Deliver

While most leaders want to be innovative and to build innovative organizational cultures, few feel that they actually know how.

In 2009, a survey of leaders conducted by McKinsey & Company revealed that more than 70% of leaders expected innovation to become one of the top three drivers of growth for their organizations in the upcoming three to five years. Yet seven years later, while there seems to be no shortage of “Most-Innovative-Companies” lists online, leaders worldwide are confessing behind closed doors to a disappointing reality—despite all the talk, intentions, and attempts to be more innovative, their organizations are still sitting on the sidelines, stalling innovatively.

The good news is, innovation, whether disruptive or not, is actually a leadership issue, and there are simple but powerful steps leaders can take immediately to replace “vanilla” practices and offerings with stand-out-in-the-crowd “raspberry swirl”. After a 1-hour presentation, one client achieved 42 innovation projects. Attendees who come to this presentation thinking, “I’m not sure,” are likely to be saying, “Yes I can!” in a short period of time.

Leaders who have struggled with innovation in the past find this presentation’s content to yield a refreshing departure from their past experiences. David Goldsmith moves audiences far beyond theory and “should-do” talk by delivering the same practical, actionable tools and techniques that turned his consulting clients around 180°.

In this program, attendees learn:

The means by which to start initiating disruptive ideation.
The secret that innovative leaders use to innovate.
How inspiration is only a small part of the innovation formula, and what leaders should focus on instead.
The use of “triggers of innovation” to foster innovative input.
Tactics to bypass altogether the pitfalls of innovation.
Essential steps for applying innovation everywhere, thus strengthening performance and outcomes related to strategic planning, forecasting, product development, competitive intelligence, and more.
This is a practical and motivating program that transforms leadership perspectives about innovation and provides proven tools and instruction so that attendees can successfully begin building their own unstoppable, innovative organizations.

RETHINKING LEADERSHIP “TRUTHS”

The 8 Mind-Quaking Realities that Trigger Avalanches of Opportunities

Beliefs about leading are so common and ingrained that we rarely (if ever) step back and assess whether they are actually true or even good for us. What do leaders who seem to manage their roles effortlessly, efficiently, and confidently have that most other leaders lack? Certainly, there are outward pluses years of experience, great people, resources, technologies, etc.—but their true advantages are actually the ways of thinking that we don’t see that makes these leaders outperform their contemporaries and competitors. These high-functioning leaders have already learned that popular perspectives related to leading and managing, though common, are nothing more than false assumptions and self-sabotaging beliefs masquerading as “truths” that can hinder decision making and rob leaders of their best options for racking up gains, successes, and wins. Wouldn’t it be great to know what these realities are and how they can be put to use to make an immediate difference?

David Goldsmith engages participants to look through a completely new lens that replaces their old assumptions with new concepts and mental tools that deliver an abundance of unparalleled opportunities faster than they may have ever experienced throughout their careers. Your group will gain greater clarity and be posed to usher in an avalanche of new opportunities as soon as they return to their work environment and for many years beyond the close of your event.
Some of the mind-quaking realities that will expose previously invisible opportunities are:

The Power of 3 Letters: How “GPP” will transform individuals, organizations, and everyone they touch.

The Surprising Realities of Change: How people actually love change

The Sheep in Wolf’s Clothing: What hidden opportunities materialize when one understands the gift of “Doing more with less.”

The “Mental Economics” of Leadership: Why “execution mentality” leads to diminished returns and needless struggle.

The Realities of Winning: What leadership preaches is not how most wins happen, and this eye-opening truth reveals where one’s focus should be instead.

You might want to caution your attendees that if they prefer status quo, this program is not for them. Past attendees have said that they were never able to go back to old ways of thinking and that this program drastically transformed how they viewed their roles as leaders and unleashed potential within themselves that they never knew they had.
