Waves of Change:  Oceans of Opportunity - One of the biggest challenges facing America today is the constant bombardment of change.  Organizations not only need to survive, they need to learn to thrive in the midst of change.  This requires leaders who are cognizant of the powerful impact of differences on building a positive work environment.  The idea behind this approach is to focus on the positive and eliminate the negative.  Liz also addresses how to convey the benefits of change to both internal and external customers.

Legendary Leadership Lessons - Because so many “doers” become managers, it is difficult to transition to leadership.  This presentation is designed as an opportunity to step back from the hectic pace of “doing” and reflect on why and how we can lead.  The distinctions between manager and leader will be explored as well as specific and practical strategies and techniques for transition from manager to leader.

The Strongest Link - Working in teams can sometimes be a frustrating and challenging task if the wrong approach is taken.  Liz teaches the power of working together, group dynamics and team productivity.  The success of a team relies on the success of the team members to work together for a common goal. 

Do More and Do It Faster - This seminar focuses on realizing that by doing work in innovative ways, fewer people can accomplish more work effectively and achieve better results than ever before.  Specific techniques will be shared that can be implemented immediately.

People, Purpose and Passion:  The Pathway to Success - Why do people act the way they do?  This presentation introduces the basic motivational styles and techniques in the context of human nature.  Learn how to help people realize their potential and get useful tips on how to “gear up” for any task, large or small.

Gender Speak:  The Ultimate Communication Challenge - Men and women use the same language, but with different effects.  The communication issues are incredible between men and women, between cultures, even between age groups.  Learn how to avoid the seven conversation traps that keep us apart – at work and at home.

“This Younger Generation!” – A Study in Work Ethics - Today’s workforce is increasingly diverse – from Generation X to baby boomers to minorities – therefore, bridging differences becomes crucial in creating a dynamic and responsive workforce.  One of the most noticeable distinctions in today’s work environment is the gap between younger and older workers.  Understanding values-driven distinctions is a must for today’s leader.

Southernese:  Speaking for Non-Southerners - We do business differently here in the South.  This topic is often joked about but it is taken very seriously by traditional Southerners.  Knowing how to do business in the South can make or break an organization.  Learning how to act, what to say and what not to say to Southerners are very important lessons for individuals doing business in the South who may be unaware of the “Rules of the South.”

Service with “Attitude” - Service is the ability of an organization to deliver on its promises without causing undue stress on any of its customers.  People today are demanding better customer service and are willing to pay for it.  Creating the “right” attitude starts with developing systems to select, train and manage service providers.

Set Sale for Success - Successful selling situations are created through a combination of effective techniques, strategies and the communication of an appropriate image.  This presentation is designed to review the principles of professional selling from the perspective of overall strategy and specific techniques.

Passing the Power - In this presentation, Liz explains the importance of empowering yourself and others.  These simple steps can lead you to finding greater satisfaction in your personal and business life.  Learn how to set and achieve realistic goals and to make others feel like they are a vital part of the process.
