Performance-Centered Leadership: Put the science of high performance to work for your organization

The unrelenting demand for marketplace performance puts pressure on managers to deliver with excellence – everyday. No excuses about the grueling pace of change or the magnitude of uncertainty. Managers can meet that challenge by tapping into the potential of their people. Performance-Centered Leadership gives managers the power to turn the latent potential of people into top-notch performance.

Wake Up Your Potential

When people face a challenge, they often look outside themselves for the solution. This is dangerous thinking. If we think that the solution lies outside of us, we lose hope and feel like we have no control over our own lives. Our greatest source of power and strength lies inside us: our beliefs, our courage, our strength, managing our fears and doubts, the responsibility we exercise, the choices that we make.

Wake Up Your Potential is about helping people build a solid core of strength that allows them to move forward with courage, determination and optimism.

Crossing the Finish Line is Just the Beginning

There’s a difference between winning and being a winner. After crossing the finish line, win or lose, a winner looks for the next goal. They know that the finish line is simply their next starting line. How can you prepare your team with the mindset of a winner?

They need an extraordinary leader who shows how they make a difference, a leader who pushes them forward when fear has made them shy or success has made them complacent. They need a leader who helps them see beyond their current limitations, believe in their potential, and commit to unleashing their greatness.

The dividends were immediate. My team has a new appreciation for one another and our customers plus I see how they treat their jobs, bringing a renewed sense of passion and energy that is reflected in their productivity and customer satisfaction. — Director of Customer Service, Axium Software

Bobbi showed me how we make a huge contribution to our customers lives. I'll never answer a support call the same way again. — Customer Service Professional, Axium Software

Unlike the past where I felt like a helpless spectator simply watching my team struggle with implementing company initiatives, this time I felt like I was equipped to really help them not only make the changes but also make the changes. — Marty, Customer Service Center Manager

I have attended many seminars and programs delivered by some of the best speakers in the country and Bobbi's program is without question, the most valuable and useful program I have attended. — Lisa Edwards, President, Bloom
