Nerves of Steel
A Powerful Life-Management Program

Dr. Elko's exciting flagship presentation addresses life-changing concepts by explaining the step-by-step processes necessary to guide you. Dr. Elko teaches you how to be mentally tough when times call for it, and how to stay focused on the things that are truly important. It features life-improving strategies, motivation enhancements, and forgiveness strategies.

In today’s culture, everyone is aware of the negative impact of stress, yet the challenges of the stressful environment remain. Today’s workplace, be it an athletic field, a business office, or our home, is more stressful than ever.
In his approach, Dr. Elko discusses the strategy necessary to develop Nerves of Steel, including:

* the importance of intrinsic motivation- and how to keep motivators front and center.
* how to focus using specific self-talk
* how to identify your internal Voice of Judgement (V.O.J.), and how to internally respond to it.

Is I.Q. alone responsible for an individual’s life success? One's ability to focus through adversity, be creative, and maintain motivation, can have a significant influence on one's success and satisfaction.

Why develop Nerves of Steel?
You will realize how to:
* Corral the subject of stress and guide yourself through the step-by-step process of focusing on the task at hand similar to how successful athletes focus on the contest at hand.
* Focus during tense situations: raising children, playing the stock market, or playing a pick-up basketball game.
* Develop mental skills to properly focus on goals in life.
* Motivate yourself to act on your goals.

What are the Steps to Building Nerves of Steel?
These steps are discussed in detail in Kevin Elko’s presentation.

1. Take Responsibility: the ultimate way to disarm anger and regain power.
2. Live Internally. Only you can control your actions and feelings.
3. Identify your "68". Find out what makes you tick, and stay focused on it.
4. Give away your "68". Once you know what you want, give it to others to receive even more!
5. Think about what you think about: you need to practice and program yourself.
6. Self Talk. In a "moment of truth", step back, reaffirm and coach yourself through it.

Practice: keep going back to #1 until you are a better you.

How to Swim Your Best Race in Choppy Waters

Are you looking for a way to keep your employees or team members focused and energized
during these very difficult times when almost everyone is working remotely?
Dr. Elko is announcing his new virtual speaking program entitled, How to Run Your Best Race in
Choppy Waters! This program will be delivered virtually on-line to all of your remote workers.
Change is the order of the day and it is this change that creates choppy water. It is necessary
today that one does more than survive the change but, because of the constant change and
turbulence, one must thrive through change. However, many times we become stuck in our
mental process to move through the acceptance of change and never thrive in changing times.
What is causing us to be stuck and not excel is the way we are talking to ourselves about the
events around us and by changing our inner dialogue we can change our outward results.
Next, this seminar teaches one to connect with others during these times which is the exact
opposite of what we usually do. One’s natural reaction during change is to run for cover and
simply wait for the change to be over with. But there is a much more effective way and that is
connection with others during these times. In fact, when one feels connected to, they are calm,
secure and not anxious but when there is no connection the exact opposite feelings are
experienced.
Changing and challenging times are the best time to build one’s business to a stronger level and
realize your toughest times are your best times.
Finally, Dr. Elko will teach your team on how to position the conversation to create business and
seize the opportunity.

Connection - I See You As A Person

One of the best things you can do to improve yourself is to learn how to connect with people. Connection is simply defined as I see you as a person. The phrase used today to describe what is going on in society is extraverted loneliness, which means we are walking around in a crowded world yet people have never reported feeling more lonely and isolated. Connection is the answer to this dilemma - an intentional act to convey a message to our clients that they are seen as a person.

There is not enough education given to simple connection which is the reason why people go and eventually stay in relationships. It is also very important with teams and companies. In the absence of connection, fear usually rules. Fear is the great disabler, and it is more dangerous today because fear is so widespread.. With the present volatility of the financial markets, constant change is all fields, and the constant alarm message by the media, this is especially true in the corporate world. If the leader or the advisor can make each client feel valued and seen as an individual, all indication is there is not fear but confidence and strength. The biggest mistake is to treat clients and employees like commodities. Connection is learning to treat people like people and not numbers. You will be amazed at how it will change your level of success.

This workshop will help participants utilize tactics to connect to others. It teaches self-talk to help connect, listening skills (feel, felt, found) and the use of thank you.

I'm Strong If You're Strong
Leadership By Developing The Gifts of Your People and Shaping A Winning Culture

Structure drives function in every company, family, organization and team. As the leadership expert W. Edwards Deming has said, “Almost all problems an organization faces are systemic.” Therefore, it is crucial for the leader to shape the culture over and over in much the same way that an athlete shapes muscle.

In this seminar, the leader learns first how to address the emotions of the team and to excite the team with a vision and a personal connection. Then, by “keeping the main thing the main thing,” the leader learns how to maintain everyone’s focus on meaningful tasks. Finally, since there are keystone habits that act as fulcrums by which other good habits present themselves, the leader learns how to identify the keystone habits and to bring about a higher level of focus on them.

This entire process occurs because the leader creates a daily “go to” script, designing the words he or she speaks. Thus, the leader has developed organizational muscle and likewise created a winning culture.
