   Then learn the skills that integrate every part of you and your team around your higher purpose and objectives. Learn how to deflect low priority distractions and reach the full potential of everyone involved. Become an effective leader who markedly improves the attitude, skills, and actions of others by your words and example. This workshop will demonstrate how playing a leadership role in your own life – and learning the language, negotiating ability, and vision of an effective leader – achieves your goals more rapidly.

Participants leave this seminar confident in their understanding of the process of change and in managing their own attitudes and work habits.

Harness the energy of stress and use it constructively. Learn to identify and eliminate the attitudes, inner dialogue, and patterns that cause self-induced stress.

Get unstuck from your old ruts by learning how to unify your energies around your core values and vision. You’ve read the books and taken the usual training – from Stephen Covey to TQM to “thinking outside the box.” You know what to do, now get the tools to implement the knowledge. Effective Self-Coaching gives you those tools – both the strategic perspective and the tactical application that pulls it all together, propelling you toward your goals, making success not only possible, but inevitable. Participants will learn how to replace ineffective coaching with “The Language of Producers” and a commitment to on-going learning and improvement.

Our managers had very positive responses to your enlightening talk at our Regional Management Retreat . . . you were right on-target: “Neil really is excellent.” “Good and personally valuable – especially with high stress months ahead.” “Great examples – good style. Effective in a short period of time.” “Great presentation of great relevance to me at this time. Thank you.” “Neil was inspiring, human and down to earth. More!” “Self-care message was appreciated. Often this expression of being valued by the organization does not come through. It did today.”

Learn how to speak a language that evokes the cooperation of your unconscious mind in achieving your goals. Whether you are trying to lose weight, stop smoking, or advance in your career, how you set your goals will determine your success or failure. Experience the fun and ease that comes when you unite your all aspects of your mind — left and right brain hemispheres and conscious and unconscious resources — in bringing about transformational change and success.

Your enthusiastic and polished performance was contagious to all present. Making your talk “custom tailored” to our staff made it especially relevant and meaningful to all those who attended.

There is now definitive research evidence that healthcare costs are cut significantly when employees use meditative-relaxation techniques, the written expression of feelings, support groups, and active participation in their healthcare. Participants will learn to identify habits that cause self-induced stress and learn to replace them with healthy alternatives that contribute to a more productive career and a robust life.

Neil is a wonderful, spirit-filled speaker and I will take a lot away from this workshop. He started the conference on an upbeat note and helped me envision ways to help myself and reduce my stress.
