Striving with Purpose:
 Six Factors Separating High Performers from Average Workers


We usually know high performers when we see them, because their stars shine bright in the workplace. How can you tell the difference between a high performer and a high potential performer? The latter have the talent, education, and training to become high performers, but haven't yet proven themselves (often because they're still new). In fact, not all workers with high potential graduate to the high-performer level; conversely, not all high performers are considered high-potential candidates that move into positions of leadership. Of course, not everyone shines right off the bat. (Both Thomas Edison and Albert Einstein were deemed unteachable by elementary school teachers, and today they're universally regarded as geniuses.)

Leaders Ought to Know: Earning the
Right to be Heard

Excited to welcome Hall of Fame faculty member Phil Van Hooser to LEADERSHIP USA™ COLORADO on Tuesday, December 5, 2017. Register below!



 
The most effective leaders are known by — and respected for — their individual ability to create and communicate ideas, concepts, strategies, solutions, techniques, etc., each specifically directed toward resolving (or neutralizing) issues and problems plaguing individuals, groups and/or organizations. Unfortunately, far too many otherwise bright, capable leaders simply have never learned and therefore, don’t practice, the proven processes the best leaders regularly use to capture the imagination, attention and respect of their superiors.

This fast-paced, high energy, practical workshop is specifically designed to introduce and prepare interested leaders to not only “get what they want” from the decision making process, but to also “earn the right to be heard” from those who are ultimately charged with making those critical decisions. Participants will walk away from this workshop armed with practical, time-tested information, tools and techniques specifically intended to get what they want — AND to earn the right to be heard in the process.


Objectives: This presentation is designed to …
  1. Share a 6-step process for ensuring interpersonal communication connection.
  2. Explore 5-steps in communication and decision making for leaders.
  3. Deploy a 3-step process for active one-on-one listening.
  4. Highlight 2 primary reasons individuals unintentionally forfeit communication’s “higher ground.”
  5. Identify 5 universal questions/answers needed in order to “earn the right to be heard.”
