The Problem with the Future Is... It's Not What It Used to Be

In a world of change, most of us like stability and consistency. We often work in a most rhythmical environment… nearly every day the same schedule, even going to the bathroom! But our global economy requires constant change, so we are being moved out of our comfort zone and we must be agile, fluid and turn-on-a-dime flexible! We don’t have time to “cope” with change… we must be resourceful, innovative and adaptable.

What an exciting time to work here as we have a mix of baby boomers working their way toward retirement and young, new colleagues bringing a different kind of work ethic and commitment. Murray will explain why change is so difficult for many of us and why we must avoid the “Comfort Zone.” He will teach his “LAVA LAMP” philosophy, help us prevent “PSYCHOSCLEROSIS” and “GROUP GRIPING” and humorously drive home the point that our optimism, adaptability and proactive mindset are critical skills in times of change.

Performance Under Pressure: Leading with Passion and Style

Leaders set the tone and create the climate. We are the models our colleagues follow and when we are strong leaders, our team becomes more like us every day! Murray’s presentation highlights the leadership skills that foster a climate of success for our colleagues…. enthusiasm, focus, positive problem solving and optimism. The challenge: these are the very attributes that disappear under constant pressure and stress!

Murray will zero in on how to ensure a passionate leadership style even under constant pressure; why we need to keep our lives in balance so we can be at our best; when to use the 10/90 Rule to keep our focus on performance; and, to spread optimism and enthusiasm to colleagues so they can spread it to customers. The centerpiece of Murray’s presentation, “Who we are may be as important as what we know!” will inspire each person to come to work every day with the mindset, energy and enthusiasm that can make them charismatic leaders.
