The Net Positive Company

The power of Doing Good

The value of being an admired brand can add as much as 30% to your profitability.

Over the last decade the percentage of a company’s value that is related to “goodwill” has quadrupled which means that increasingly we are only as good as our “good name.” Dr. John Izzo talks about a new type of company he calls, The Net Positive Company and demonstrates why doing good is powerful for businesses.

In the last decade, social responsibility, trust, and being “green” are among the strongest drivers in terms of who customers buy from and who people want to work for. Being an admired brand matters not only outside a company, but inside it too.

John shows what makes a brand admired by customers and employees and shares five keys to creating an admired brand that will be a magnet for talent and customers. He also describes the three things that can derail a brand and how to avoid them.

Your leaders will discover their role in creating an admired brand in their daily work.
• Understand why CSR and sustainability matters to society

• Discover how consumers and employees are changing in sustainability expectations

• Learn valuable lessons from what other companies have done

• Discover the keys to driving sustainability throughout the culture

• Find out how to keep from being accused of "green washing"

This powerful program reveals the keys to renewing the heart health care, how leaders at all levels-from CEO's to the front line-can take responsibility for re-igniting passion and purpose at work, how to engage associates in their work, and ways to keep teams spirited amidst change.

Compassionate Caring
Beyond Customer Service to Compassionate Care

Almost every health care organization is trying to provide great customer service to patients and clients but many traditional methods fail to inspire true compassionate care.

Care for the Team. How teams can create truly collaborative and positive team relationships.
Care for the Patients/Families. How to stay focused on the patients, clients and families.
Through compelling stories and real life examples, this program can be focused on formal leaders or to front-line clinicians/staff.

The Purpose Revolution—Winning the Emerging Customer, Employee & Investor

The new economy is going to be driven by an emerging group of people all over the world who want their employment, investing and buying to shape a better world while meeting their self oriented needs. This book shows how a new driver of choice is happening worldwide whereby consumers, employees and investors are using purpose and community as a major driver of their commitments. This new driver is present worldwide and cuts across almost all demographic barriers including age, developing/developing world, politics, religious affiliation and income level. Those companies who understand and respond to this Aspirational person will create game changing competitive advantage.

They want to consume but want “consumption without conflict” where they feel they are helping society, planet and themselves. Winning this new rising class of people who want good for self, good for people and good for planet alongside a sense of community/tribe is a spot of true differentiation. These people want doing well and doing good to sit side by side as they live their lives. They simply want it all and if you can give it you will succeed.

Leading on Purpose

Winning People with the Why

Dr. John Izzo first introduced the idea of higher purpose at work in his book, Awakening Corporate Soul, and has been showing leaders for over 20 years how to create a workplace where people are connected to the highest purpose of their work.

• Daily and weekly practices that create a culture of purpose that leads to high productivity and great service
