Leadership Challenges

Posner, published in a best-seller book “The Leadership Challenge”, this keynote delves into five fundamental leadership practices and the ten commitments these practices embody. It explores practical and inspirational lessons for leaders and their constituents in business, government, education, and communities. The key learning is about how extraordinary results can be achieved by ordinary people who believe that opportunities are available to everyone. In other words, even in the world of shrinking workforces, decreasing funding, rising cynicism and rapid-fire technological change, the only limits are those that we place on ourselves!

Making Customer Connections – All customers are the same – aren’t they?? No they aren’t and all customer related issues are not the same either.

The only effective way to truly determine the customer’s needs and wants is to build appropriate partnerships with customers so they are comfortable telling you all of their requirements, hopes and dreams. In this entertaining, engaging keynote speech, the speaker will use relevant stories and examples to demonstrate the necessity of building great relationships with every one of your unique customers. Audience members will learn tips and techniques to ensure they make the connection with every customer in order to service them in the best interest of the customer and the organization.
