Engagement Raises Performance and Results

Setting people on a strategic pathway of continuous improvement, Lisa helps identify what engages, energises, inspires and motivates. She compels people to realise their potential, increase their capacity and perform above expectations. She helps build the desire that will take them to the next level of achievement. They will also build belief in themselves and trust in those around them.

Leadership exists at all levels of life – government, business, family and community. There is no perfect model for great leadership and leaders are not “born”. The best leaders are self aware, clear in purpose, courageous and decisive – all attributes of an individual’s spirit, and all learnable.

When building a team, the way we communicate and connect significantly influences our effectiveness and overall performance. The honesty and quality of our conversations and our ability to influence others directly impacts the development of our bottom line. Effective communicators are great team players and valuable team leaders. Confidence and competence in effective communication are learned skills and developed competencies.

This fun, high-energy session will fast track people to new levels of performance and open up opportunities to understand positive team dynamics.

Long term significant achievement cannot happen until a team of people unite to take on a challenge. In a fun-charged and practical atmosphere Lisa will demonstrate how your team members can inspire each other and deliver long-term positive outcomes. She enables individuals to become better team players (and potential leaders) by discarding negative habits and building on their strengths. Lisa will also show your people how to multiply their own effectiveness by helping to release the talents of those around them. Personal and team growth will increase exponentially as they apply Lisa’s steps.

Most of what we accomplish in work and in life is determined by the patterns we have spent a lifetime learning. However, our achievement and significance is determined by what is at the heart of what we do. We know that each individual is different, and Lisa helps identify what energises, engages, inspires and motivates individuals. She will set your people on a fresh journey of increased capacity and empower them to perform to their full potential.

When building customer relationships no comment is trivial and no moment should be wasted. In fact, every word counts! Success can be measured one interaction at a time as relationships are the key to our ongoing success. The way we communicate and connect significantly influences our effectiveness and overall personal performance. The quality of our conversations and our ability to influence others directly impacts our bottom line, and effective communicators make great team players and valuable team leaders. Confidence and competence in effective communication are learned skills.

This high-energy, fun session will help your people build a culture where everyone can be counted on to create a brilliant customer experience.

Connect. Relate. Empower.

Most of what we accomplish in work & life is determined by the patterns we have spent a lifetime developing. However, our achievement and significance is determined by what is at the heart of what we do. The right heart and the right “heart patterns” are life transforming. High performers are continuously reflecting, correcting and developing new patterns of behaviour and communication that lead to success.

Expect a fun, entertaining and participative session that gets to the heart of things!
