Bust Your Signature Move!

Understanding Your Greatest Strengths (and the Strengths of Those Around You)

(Available in 45-90 minutes and half-day options)

The best players on any team have a signature move...
AND THEY KNOW HOW TO USE IT.

Ever wonder why it seems effortless to connect with some clients, customers, and co-workers while others... well... not so much? For instance, with some people communication comes naturally. Yet with others, it can feel awkward and strained.

Amazingly, there is a simple yet profound strategy that will help you understand yourself better, as well as every customer, client, and co-worker with whom you connect. And it's a strategy that can be learned easily and implemented immediately.

The Bust Your Signature Move training is a highly-engaging, interactive experience that equips participants to discover their "signature moves" (personality strengths and talents) as well as their potential "signature bloopers" (personality weaknesses). They also uncover the best strategies to "bust their signature moves" (play to their strengths and compensate for their weaknesses). Finally, they learn how to recognize other people's signature moves, which is vital to effective leadership and interpersonal relationships.

Participants Will:

  • Identify the 4 signature moves (personality styles)
  • Identify their own best move(s) so that they can play to their strengths and compensate for their weaknesses
  • Ask 2 simple questions to quickly identify other people's signature moves
  • Strategically consider employee placement and assignments based on team members' signature moves
  • Encourage and equip others in their signature moves
  • Laugh and learn through creative interaction and participation

 

Heroes Work Here!

How to Be a True Hero and Why It's Likely Different (and Even Better) Than You Think

(Available in 45-90 minutes, half-day, full-day, and 2-day options)

We've all seen movies about heroes, but most scripts get it wrong.

In fact, the classic heroic story is the antithesis of most movie scripts today.

So what does this have to do with leadership? Well… EVERYTHING!

According to classic heroic stories, leaders can play the same role as the most influential character, but it's almost never the role people associate with leadership.

In this creative and mind-stretching workshop, leaders discover a more holistic and empowering paradigm for understanding team development, corporate culture, and employee engagement that leads to better strategic decisions and actions.

Participants Will:

  • Learn the main elements of a classic heroic story and how they can positively reframe team development, corporate culture, and employee engagement
  • Discover the leader's role in a classic heroic story
  • Discover team members' role in a classic heroic story
  • Learn the one thing that matters most in team development and individual progress (if you miss this, no training program or workforce initiative will make a difference)
  • Discover immediately applicable skills and strategies for equipping employees to become their own hero
  • Laugh and learn through creative interaction and participation

 

How to Deliver an Unforgettable Presentation

(In Just 5 Simple Steps)

(Available in 45-90 minutes, half-day, full-day, and 2-day options)

The ULTIMATE training for people looking to take their presentation skills to the next level.

Effective communication is critical in any role, and the mark of a truly great communicator is the ability to energize and engage any "audience" while sharing powerful content...whether that "audience" is a team, a boardroom, or the main stage.

The problem with most presentation training, however, is the focus is often on things like posture, gestures, or how often you use filler words. Or it teaches worn-out strategies like outlining your speech the same way you outline a research paper. No wonder most presentation training leaves people feeling unauthentic and overly-scripted.

There is a better way!

How to Deliver an Unforgettable Presentation (in Just 5 Simple Steps) teaches a proven, 5-step system for effectively connecting with, communicating to, and convincing any audience. What's more, it teaches you how to do this without turning into a robotic, overly-scripted presenter who is tied to your notes.

This training is based on the same presentation system Kent teaches at his Killer Keynote Conference. Instead of focusing on outlines or bullet points, it zeroes in on a powerful communication tool Kent calls "anchors." By using anchors, you not only communicate your most important points in an unforgettable manner, but you also have the freedom to be you as a presenter. What's more, anchors empower you to present without using comprehensive notes... GUARANTEED.

This is the ultimate training for people who want to take their presentation skills to the next level!

 

Participants Will:

  • Learn how to craft an engaging, content-rich, unforgettable presentation using Kent's SPEAK UP™ System
  • Discover the power of "anchors" and how they are different than just telling a story or using an illustration
  • Learn how to embrace their authentic presentation style instead of being overly-scripted and canned
  • Laugh and learn through creative interaction and participation

 

What Does This Make Possible?

How Asking Better Questions Leads to Better Solutions

(Available in 45-90 minutes, half-day, and full-day options)

Are You Asking the Right Questions?

This comprehensive training positively challenges leaders and team members to do the opposite of what most people do. Instead of asking, “Why is this happening?” they will learn to ask a more empowering question: “What Does This Make Possible?!”

Through interactive and engaging activities and surveys, participants will discover that not only can they adapt to today’s reality, but they can actually transform the way they see challenges. Instead of just seeing the problems, they will start to see the abundance of opportunities that are looking for solutions.

Participants Will:

  • Discover why asking better questions is so beneficial for leaders and their team members
  • Learn how to strategically use questions to cultivate better dialogue and build a stronger community
  • Discover why timing is so important when it comes to asking better questions
  • Be entertained and inspired by relevant, customized, and often hilarious examples, case studies, and interaction

How to Double, Triple, and Even Quadruple Your Results

(Without Adding Anything Extra to Your To-Do List or Adding Extra Hours to Your Workweek)

(Available in 45-90 minutes, half-day, and full-day options)

Have you noticed that many peak-performance experts and productivity speakers live unrealistic lives?

The ultra-marathoner who has sponsors so he can train six hours a day, rest-and-recover, and do it all again tomorrow.

Or the business executive who has a dozen direct reports to whom she delegates all the tasks she doesn’t want to do.

How can their strategies ever connect with people who have "regular" jobs, "regular" schedules, and "regular" work demands?

How to Double, Triple, and Even Quadruple Your Results is a content-rich training that empowers "regular" people to become high performers in their real world. During this in-depth and hands-on workshop, you will discover how a few practical habits can multiply your productivity and results without adding anything extra to your to-do list or adding extra hours to your workweek.

 

Participants Will:

  • Know how to determine the superiority of a task
  • Know how to dump their To-Do Lists and replace them with something that is simpler and guaranteed to help them focus on what matters most
  • Be empowered to double, triple, or even quadruple their productivity and results without adding anything to their to-do list or adding extra hours to their workweek
  • Discover how to tap into the Reverse Pareto Principle and the 3:20 Rule to consistently accomplish their most important goals
  • Laugh and learn through creative interaction and participation
