Speaking

What is it that makes some leaders successful, while others struggle with their people, their customers, or their organizations? These leaders clearly fail to earn the loyalty and engagement of their people. So what is it that keeps them from inspiring and developing their direct reports?

In this keynote address, I share with you the secret of top executives: They put employees first, focus on being elite coaches for their direct reports, and set high-performance expectations. These leaders understand the importance of people, coaching, and performance.

Deloitte and HCI studies, and many other surveys and studies, have demonstrated that the most impactful action a leader can take to drive higher performance is to coach her people. The act of coaching engenders trust with the employee and helps him grow and develop his competencies. The Leader Coach recognizes that the greatest impact a leader can have comes through effectively coaching her people.

For years, organizations have been looking for a simple way to help leaders build, develop, and lead high-performing teams. The answer is given in this keynote talk. It is about being people-focused, communicating with employees about expectations, and delivering high-impact coaching. In this keynote, I speak about the simple process of how being employee-focused, hiring high-performers, communicating high expectations, holding employees accountable for performance, and coaching effectively all can work together to drive higher productivity and revenues.

I have spoken to audiences across the nation. My speaking engagements range from large groups of over 1,000 to small, intimate gatherings. I can deliver highly customized talks based on the needs of your organization.
