  Learn to Lead Change: With or Without a Title!  How to lead change without a title

Are you convinced that you and your team are capable of making a bigger difference?  …For each other?  …For your organization?  …For your community?  Do you dream of working for an organization that is committed to Character-Based Leadership?  But you’re concerned that you don’t have the position or power to make change happen?

I’ve been where you are.  And learned to lead system-wide change from the middle and the edge of the organizations I served in.  This keynote and workshop provides real examples and strategies for learning to lead change right where you are.

Or are you a titled leader that wants to make empowerment a greater reality in your organization?   But struggling to convince your employees that they really have your permission to think, speak and act?

I can help!  I’ve worked in organizations that really wanted to empower their people and in those that didn’t.  And there are real but removable roadblocks in both!  Learning how to recognize and remove those barriers for your people will create results that will exceed your wildest expectations!  (Customer Satisfaction, Employee Engagement, Revenue…)

Chery, Today was a hit! You were a delight and commanded the attention of all. We’ll be a better company. The feedback has been fantastic! Thank you for sharing your time with us. Teresa Knox

The Impact of Vision without Ownership

Two real cities. One has it and one... Not so much!

A little over a week ago my husband and I rode motorcycle to a city that is about an hour away from where we are living.

It’s a city we visited for the first time nearly one year ago.  A city that provided such a powerful visual of how leadership or the lack of it, impacts our world that I wrote about it right after our first visit, and have continued to talk about it throughout the year…

  • A lack of a vision compared to a shared vision.
  • Chaos compared to order.
  • Anxiety compared to peace.
  • Darkness compared to light.

This time we were in awe again:

Pop, Soda, Coke… Right Word = Getting Heard

When my husband and I were first married we moved three states away from where we had grown up.

And quickly learned that the carbonated beverages we had been consuming for our entire lives were not called POP.

  • In this place they were called SODA!
  • A few years later we moved south and learned that no matter what flavor of carbonated beverage we wanted to consume we needed to order a COKE – and then name our flavor of choice.

As we’ve continued to move I’ve kept a mental list of others…

  • When you throw something away do you CHUCK it or CHUNK it?
  • When you hold onto something have you KEPT it or KEP it?
  • Do you have a kitchen COUNTER or a kitchen BENCH?
  • Does your car have a HOOD or a BONNET? A TRUNK or a BOOT?
  • Do you cook with CORIANDER or with CILANTRO?
  • When you are talking about a friend that is not your spouse… Are they your FRIEND or your MATE?
  • When you go to the store… Do you use a shopping CART or a shopping BUGGY or a TROLLEY?

As fun as the game is – does it really matter what you call it?
