Maureen’s Speaking/Workshop Topics Include:
•
The State of Grace Document
Creating Business Foundations Based on Integrity and Trust — rather
than the mistrust of legal contracts, employee manuals, etc.
Ever have a business relationship go sour? Not anymore. Companies annually spend billions of dollars fixing what’s broken in the organization. Business exit clauses, legal contracts and employee manuals are a few of the many documents that start with the premise; “I think you just might screw me, so I need to protect myself.” We begin with business foundations built on mistrust, and then we’re shocked when
There is a new way to build, sustain and transition our work relationships with honor and trust and it is called The State of Grace Document. Creator of one of the most innovative business tools available, Maureen will show you how to build stronger relationships between employees, suppliers, clients and teams. This concept is currently being used in many companies, organizations and countries around the world in lieu of, or in conjunction with, the mistrustful legal contracts upon which we build our business relationships.
•
Facilitating New Economy Leadership
The old business rules are fading faster at the light of each business day.
As leaders in this new economy, we must focus on asking the right questions
rather than having the right answers. Leadership over time has been characterized
by physical domination and more recently, intellectual domination. Withholding
information was power. Now we are moving into the Dance of Leader and Follower,
and we must learn when, as a true leader, we need to follow in order to ensure
success.
•
Igniting Team Spirit
There is a difference between motivation and inspiration. When we motivate,
we get someone to do what we want them to do. When we inspire, we encourage
someone to ignite the spark within and join us with their passion, knowledge
and heart. Inspiration is longer lasting, more impactful and ultimately more
fruitful for everyone. Maureen has several tools to ignite the spark that
will change your whole approach to business.
•
Eliminating Fear at Work
We spend more time at work than anywhere else. Between the demands of market
share, financial pressures, where the industry is headed, etc., we’re
all exhausted. We are driven in business by the fear of what might happen
“if we do”...as well as “if we don’t.” When
steeped in an environment lead by fear, it deeply affects our personal lives,
communities and ultimately the health of the company. Fear results in poor
decision-making, anger, low morale and loss of profits. Learn how to lessen
the fear factor in your organization in order to inspire greatness.
• Weaving the Wisdom Web
We’ve grown up in a world where the gathering of information was a crucial
skill. Now that we’re on information overload, we need to hone our sifting
skills. From Open Space Technology to The World Cafe to Wisdom Circles, there
is an enormous range of innovative tools to make use of all your employee
knowledge. Whether the newest recruit or the highest executive, we need to
make use of the web of knowledge in order to succeed.
• Inspiring Creativity and Innovation
It’s easy in this chaotic world to shift into automatic pilot when we
get to the office. For many years we’ve been encouraged to check our
hearts and souls at the door. Learn to make work an experience of the senses,
where your whole self is engaged and the power of every individual’s
creativity has an effect on the whole.
