Building success through your purpose, people, processes, and performance

Do you have the best players on your team to win? Do you have procedures that create employee focus and accountability? Do you have an annual operating plan and budget driving your long-range strategy?

Building and leading successful teams
Teams are not new. We bring people together to accomplish more than each can alone. However, few teams are successful, regardless of whether they are functional or cross-functional. This session will cover team dynamics from individual to team, communication, and alignment for synergy to accomplish missions and tasks.
Emotionally intelligent communication through DISC
Create better communication and relationships by understanding who you are and who those around you are. The session will focus on interpersonal development and the impact versus intent of our actions. You will learn a shared language of understanding known as DISC. You will be able to recognize the characteristic traits of each behavioral style, and how to identify behaviors quickly for thoughtful and deliberate adaptability for improving communications.
It Takes a Vision and a Plan to Create a Thriving Business / Association
Everyone wants the easy button to succeed. But no road map fits all. We know that each business must have a personal vision and plan that fits them where they are today to grow. This seminar will discuss how businesses/associations at their stage of development and resources can create a vision and plan for the next one, three, and ten years and create a plan of accountability filled with excitement for the future.
Nonprofit is for-profit. Run your nonprofit like a for-profit business
Leading a nonprofit isn’t easy. There are regulations, volunteers, staff, and members’ interests to address. Regardless, business is business, and all businesses have challenges. Businesses exist to solve problems, offer programs and services, and create value. Nonprofits and their boards can’t hold the organization to different standards. This seminar will focus on ensuring the organization has a clear mission, values, and vision; the right leadership paid and volunteers; and a performance plan and budget resulting in profit, happy employees, and delighted board members.
Crafting your association's member engagement strategy
Engagement is a two-way street of interaction for all associations. However, your strategy to engage members to achieve satisfaction for renewal differs by association. This session will discuss engagement and creating a plan around the association’s competitive advantage. Understanding your niche, ideal member, and value proposition and delivering it for engagement with an emotional connection for loyalty.
Board Orientation – What the Board Needs to Know and Why
Welcome to the board! Now what? Nonprofit officers and directors often need clarification as to their roles and responsibilities. On the one hand, being a board member is like leading or running a business. Board members need focus and accountability. They must create a long-range strategy and oversee the annual operating plan and budget. On the other hand, some rights and obligations are determined by law, others by bylaws, and still others by written policies and procedures or more informal arrangements. This seminar will show you how to quickly get new board members up to speed with your association, explain the fiduciary duties imposed by law, and suggest ways volunteer leaders can avoid legal issues and have a great board experience giving back.
