If you can’t control stress, enjoy a good night sleep, and if you are suffering from back pain, then it doesn’t matter where you where you go or how many times someone releases the tension between your shoulder blades. If you are rushing around with the same pile of papers on your desk after you close those office doors behind you as when you walked in, if you walk in the supermarket attempting to buy shaving cream and absent-mindedly walk out with whipped cream, then it doesn’t matter how many glasses of wine and double lattes you down as you aspire to achieve daily bliss.

Developing an Entrepreneurial Spirit in the Workplace
How to Thrive in a World of Change
Change is inevitable so eventually we will all learn to adapt. The question you have to ask yourself is, “am I an early adopter or a laggard”?
If you are an early adopter you will be leading the pack. If you are a laggard you will feel as if you are being dragged along. The efficient way to become an early adopter and thrive in a world of change is to develop a growth vs a fixed mindset. A person with a fixed mind set asks, “what is wrong with the world” while a person with a growth mind set asks, “how can I improve upon this situation”? The last question you have to ask yourself is," which mindset will I need to thrive in a world of change?". That question should be easy to answer.
Accountability and the Brain
Discover the Inner Workings of the Brain in Someone Who is Not Accountable and How to Detect When They Are Lying
Were you ever curious to know what goes inside the head of someone who is not accountable? Just like everything else in life, it is much easier to fix a problem if you know what is causing that problem. This program will explore the inner reaches of the brain as we discover why normally honest, hard working people who start out wanting to do the right thing never seem to accomplish what they have set out to do. We will also learn how to redirect them toward success and accountability.
In addition to understanding what goes on inside the brain of someone who never seems accountable we will also learn how to read the signs of someone who is lying.
We conclude this program by discovering how how to decrease stress and increase focus for improved productivity throughout the day.
Improve Employee Morale
Motivation, Strategic Thinking and Ownership
This uplifting and motivational program will have you laughing and learning while you develop techniques for getting employees excited about their work and developing a culture where change is not only accepted but something to look forward to. In addition to learning how to think strategically, you and your employees will practice how to think creatively. The old concept of “thinking out of the box” is difficult to incorporate because it does not give the listener a path on how to incorporate creativity into their thinking. By learning the techniques that chief executive officers, entrepreneurs, marketers and believe it or not even stand up comedians use, you and your staff will be able to incorporate creative thinking into every aspect of your day.
In order to have employees develop an entrepreneurial attitude at work it is important for them to have a sense of ownership. This is where the concept of fixed and growth mind set come in to play. A fixed mind set blames the rest of the world while a growth mind set realizes that the power to change is inside us all.
Ethics and the Brain:
Discover the Inner Workings of the Brain in Someone Who Commits Fraud and How to Detect When They are Lying

We will also discover how our own brain functions and how to decrease our stress and increase our focus for improved productivity throughout the day.
