TOPICS AND REALTIME TAKEAWAYS
What do you need to take your team to the next level? How can you translate “employee engagement” into blowing past your performance benchmarks?
Whether you can answer now or don’t quite know right off the bat,
that’s absolutely fine. Our first step is a conversation to define
your current leadership goals and success criteria.
When you work out with a personal trainer or join a group exercise
class, you are led by an expert but are actively involved to gain
strength and energy. Likewise, Stratex workshops are run as
interactive learning sessions. Beginning right there and then
participants generate practical insights leading to immediate
achievements. They will:
 | Communicate and collaborate with greater impact. |
 | Build capabilities and motivate themselves to acquire new ones.
|
 | Set and attain measurable quarterly profit and performance
goals. |
After the workshop, we will review the outcomes to extend the
benefits over the long term. In some cases we complement workshops
with private coaching so participants can make rapid progress on their
current initiatives. In all cases, participants receive written
materials and tools so they continue to reinforce and apply what they
learned.
To achieve outstanding individual and team performance results,
please contact us to discuss how we can
customize a workshop for your priorities and audience.

PITCH
YOUR STRONG POINTS
So much of business comes down to the ability to convince other
people to do something while inspiring their enthusiasm and eagerness
to be on board. At the end of the day, we are selling ideas, a plan,
service, or ourselves. The more persuasive professionals are, the
better they are able to engage their colleagues or clients, and the
faster they can achieve your strategic goals.
Your employees are the face of your company. The better they
represent themselves, the more they enhance the reputation of your
company. Whether internally, to the market, or through social media,
their image creates perceptions with the world at large. When it comes
to presenting oneself as successful and centered, clarity and
confidence beat trying to improvise – every time!
 | Hone awareness of competencies and ability to express them
smoothly in both informal and formal encounters – whether meetings,
conferences, trade shows, or college reunions. |
 | Present powerfully on phone calls and social media to strengthen
your professional impact. |
 | Establish an authentic executive presence, by highlighting
contributions while conveying and inspiring respect for the
organization. |

BUILD YOUR LEADERSHIP ASSETS
Some people are born to lead. All people are born to learn. So
everyone can learn to lead more effectively. Building leadership
capabilities generates more than revenue, it can change lives. Beyond
directing and performing business functions, leaders guide individuals and groups where they need to go.
To maximize success up and down the organization, it makes sense to
build leadership assets at every level – not only at the top. People
may be leaders of a practice or team within your company, or with
their clients and peers.
 | Leverage ten principles to bring out the best in your leadership
qualities – balancing your natural inner qualities with emulating
role models. |
 | Identify the best balance of empowerment and strength to build
mutual competence and confidence with your team. |
 | Define your leadership goals and initiate a game plan to achieve
them. |

FACE-TO-FACE IMPACT:
Get the Most from Your Meetings
Over and over, our business experience is about meeting with people
to determine whether our goals, talents and personalities will lead to
mutual success. Senior executives can’t and should not attend every
important meeting, so they want to know that their representatives are
going to make the time count. This workshop distills three
time-efficient ways to consistently achieve meeting goals.
 | Give and gain the highest value during in-person or phone
meetings through proactive planning, collecting pertinent
information and leaving attendees with the sense that their time was
spent profitably. |
 | Begin making a strong impression way before walking through the
door or picking up the phone. Harness the power of observation to
advance an agenda. |
 | Become more persuasive and compelling while actually enjoying
the process. |

PROMOTE YOUR BOSS,
PROMOTE YOURSELF
Are you offering your best players the support and means to move
ahead? Leaders sometimes say they want outstanding performance without
explaining to their team how to make it happen. This workshop presents
the “how” of aligning values and targets through more useful
communication and mutual respect.
 | Collaborate with your boss to create new opportunities and
advance together – with both financial and non-monetary rewards.
|
 | Reinforce awareness of business and organizational contributions
through three quick and straightforward communications practices.
|
 | Direct your efforts in sync with the highest and best use of
your time. Checkpoint against evolving strategic directives. |

TAKE YOUR EYES OFF THE BOTTOM LINE:
M&A Business Due Diligence and Integration
Throughout a merger or acquisition financial and emotional pressure
is intense. All parties understand that the initial transition often
determines ongoing profitability. While the main focus is on “the
numbers”, overlooked management and operations factors make or break
M&A deal success. This workshop provides practices and perspectives
for CPA’s, attorneys, business development executives and their teams.
 | Complement financial and legal analysis with risk-and-rewards
insights on management, technology, sales, customer relations, and
strategic partnerships. |
 | Engage key personnel to ensure continuity of sales and revenue
generation and respond to unforeseen challenges quickly and across
functions. |
 | Accelerate profitable outcomes with dedicated attention to ten
business and organizational imperatives. |

HITTING THE RIGHT NOTES:
Successful Cross-Cultural Communication for International Business
Viewing the business world from your own perspective is not enough
to succeed in global collaboration or transactions. When embarking on
a journey, it’s best to know the territory and learn the language -
from formalities to personalities, from verbal language to body
language. Approaching transnational relationships with sensitivity and
awareness creates the basis for outstanding respect and advancement.
 | Think in 3D: how you see yourself; how you see others; and how
others see you. |
 | Play to your strengths, while remembering to stay in tune and in
harmony. |
 | Engage a “guide” to ensure you remain on the right path while
absorbing the culture, riches and risks of your environment. |

ADMIN ADMIRED:
Professional Development for Executive Assistants
Over decades of working with stellar leaders, I’ve noticed one
consistent secret: an outstanding assistant outside the corner office.
While the executives’ styles and specialties vary, they invariably
have found organized, reliable counterparts who put them ahead of the
game. This workshop addresses the professional growth of those vital,
indispensable resources. They know exactly how to take care of others
- here is an opportunity for them to increase their own pride and
contributions.
 | Recognize the value you bring to your boss, clients, and the
organization. |
 | Partner with your boss to take on greater responsibility,
enhance your status and set goals for professional growth. |
 | Nurture and expand your professional network. |
