Presentations & Seminars

This is absolute power that adds up to a life that’s richly rewarding and significant. Prosperity is not always about money, and that wisdom alone can make all the difference in the world to your journey in life. This presentation will be one of discovery regarding your passions and their true purpose. It’s exciting, fulfilling and deeply rewarding.

It’s about the mind of a leader, how a leader thinks. As a leader thinketh in his heart, so is he.

This seminar will elevate you to reality thinking and help you embrace the principles and values of a successful leader.  The leadership lessons learned are as follows:

• Good leadership begins with wisdom and insight.
• Competency cannot substitute for a lack of character.
• Leadership development begins with “being” before “doing.”
• Leaders who solve problems will never lack followers.
• Wisdom is available to leaders who pursue it diligently.
• Laziness can steal everything a leader has worked to achieve.
• There are rewards for leaders who do right.

When was the last time you asked, what was I thinking? A deep thinker has as many as 50,000 thoughts a day. These thoughts are divided into six dimensions or areas; we call them the Six Advisors™, this presentation will introduce them to you in a fun and entertaining way and increase your level of awareness as to where they take you. Failure to be conscious of our thoughts and the negative impact they have on our actions is one of the most significant contributors to poor performance, poor quality and low productivity. Success is a conscious choice and you make the choice!

Following this session you will:

• Embrace principles that lead to greatness
• Focus on little things that, when completed, result in excellence
• Turn obstacles into opportunities
• Use time wisely, avoid procrastination, fear and doubt
• Have clear objectives that will guide your daily activities

And, discover many other keys to principles of success in the process.

How do you do it? This presentation will answer the following questions:

• What attitude gear do you shift into when the “change” sign appears?
• How do you respond to change?
• What response options do you have?
• What does a “change” agent look like?
• What is the process to become a “change” agent?

• Examine the qualities you must possess.
• Relate those qualities to professional relationships.
• Challenge you to the next level of leadership.
• Provide leadership tools to help you become more effective.

What kind of boss does your staff think you are? Afraid to ask the question? This presentation will examine the many lessons learned from bosses during my forty plus year period, since age 12, I have learned. Some positive and some negative.

Bosses need to be introspective and this presentation will cause you to examine yourself as a boss and determine the things you do well and things you need to improve upon. Good for you and great benefits for your staff are the results of this insightful presentation.

The participants of this seminar will discover the following:

• Learn principled skills necessary to be the negotiator you want to be
• Learn tactics that will separate you from the ordinary and put the “extra” in ordinary
• Review and participate in “live” negotiating exercises
• Practice and persist to success

The true essence of any negotiation is understanding that negotiation is about an exchange of value. It’s not about your benefiting or profiting at the expense of others. Negotiation is really all about people. Be principled and there will be no limit to your win-win success.

The participants in this seminar will do the following:

• Assess what you have in your favor
• Learn the how to(s) of connecting
• Recognize the “true” value of connections
• Networking events strategy
• Find the “common” connections

Connecting and networking is a journey, not a destination, let’s enjoy the trip!

In Volgograd, Russia, I was asked the following question by a very gifted high school student who was in my “leadership” seminar audience, “Have you ever had someone in your organization that concerned you because they appeared to be an emerging leader and you thought they might want to take over?”

That was a very good question and early on in my leadership experience, I probably would have had a very different answer. But due to my years of experience as a leader and being a student of and teaching leadership around the world, my answer to this young lady was straight from the heart. I responded this way, “Great leaders don’t just look for people they can lead or who will follow, great leaders are in the business of developing other leaders.”

Leaders have strengths and weaknesses just like everyone else. Leaders have great qualities, but may be more gifted in some qualities more than others. But, a leader recognizes those weaknesses or “un” gifted areas and surrounds themselves with others who strengthen their weaknesses. This is one aspect of leadership that cannot be overlooked.

The Leadership Development Seminars Chet conducts are tailor made for each organization as to its specific needs. Seminars including but not limited to, contain the following:

• Qualities necessary to lead
• Leading through “change”
• Leading through “service” (Servant Leadership)
• Leading through principles, values and wisdom
• Leading through example
• Leading teams

Seminars include workbooks, interaction, learning exercises and can be conducted in half-day, full day, retreats or periodically according to the clients needs and desires. For more information, contact Chet.

“You cannot build a great team without great players. You can lose with good players, but you cannot win without them. To improve the team, improve the individuals on the team,” says John Maxwell, Leadership Guru, speaker and author.

Chet has taught teamwork, team building and team development for many years, but has recently recognized that John Maxwell’s “Learning the 17 Essential Qualities of a Team Player” curriculum and training as the best in the marketplace today. He uses this training material exclusively to help people “learn to become the kind of person every team wants.”

The 60 page “Participant Workbook” becomes a very valuable tool in training and then re-training as each participant embarks on the journey of teamwork. The hands-on, fill in the blank, interactive and insightful dialogue is a tremendous resource to developing a team everyone wants to be a part of.

This seminar is ideal for staff/team retreats. A two day time period is ideal, one day not as ideal, but can be done or scheduling it over a specific time periods, weekly or monthly can also be a real advantage because it allows time for each lesson to be adapted and implemented.

Please contact Chet to get your teamwork development started.
