Become A Master Of Change

Have you ever heard someone say, "I'll be a lot more optimistic when things get back to normal?" Wouldn't you agree that normal is ahead of us not behind us. Constant change is a reality in business today and organizations must continue to adapt to their environment or risk becoming irrelevant. As a result, "We have always done it that way" is no longer a viable philosophy for long-term success. We cannot predict the future but we can prepare for a future of change.

In this presentation, audience members learn the strategies to become victors of change not victims of change. This mindset allows them to benefit from the enormous opportunity that change presents. Roger Crawford will give your team a powerful perspective that enables them to not merely survive but thrive as they successfully navigate change.

This powerful program will help you and your organization:
1) Expect and accept change
2) Resist using yesterday's thinking to solve today's challenges.
3) Adapt, innovate and lead during changing times.
4) See change as something new instead as something wrong.
5) Lose the "victim mindset" and capitalize on the opportunities change presents.
6) Focus on what you can control and influence.
7) Distinguish between fear and anxiety.

When given the privilege of speaking to your organization, my commitment is to design a specifically tailored presentation that is relevant and remembered. To best accomplish this, my preparation begins with a phone conference and pre-program questionnaire to gather preliminary information. I then schedule telephone meetings with other key individuals to gain their perspective on your company dynamics, changes, and challenges, so I may maximize my effectiveness with your organization.

I develop a working outline detailing the main objectives to be covered in my speech. When completed, I review this outline with the people responsible for planning the meeting, so they may offer input in fine-tuning my program. This ensures that my presentation will be on message, add value and provide a Grand Slam experience for your audience!

Who Do You Think You Are?

How to Achieve Peak Performance

Peak performers understand that the most important question to ask is "Who do you think you are?" Here's why, what you believe about your talent, potential, courage and perseverance, is the difference between ordinary and extraordinary performance. What typically holds us back from reaching our potential is not a lack of opportunity or ability often it is a pessimistic view of who we are. If we have negative thoughts about ourselves this creates negative feelings, which then sabotages our effectiveness.

The foundation of exceptional performance is the belief that success is possible and that we have the capability to achieve our objectives. Because we rarely if ever perform better than we believe we can. This dynamic program provides the skills and strategies needed to positively redefine who you think you are, shatter self-imposed limitations and unleash peak performance.

This presentation program will motivate your team to:
1) Break through self-limiting thinking to discover your potential.
2) Discover how clarity of purpose will increase enthusiasm, efficiency and effectiveness.
3) Learn how choice, not chance, determines content and quality of thought.
4) Laugh hard, so you'll think even harder.
5) Reshape the vision of what is possible.
6) Conquer Complacency.
