Seminar Introduction

If you want to improve your employee morale, get them motivated, accomplish projects easier and on time, reduce your employee costs by lowing your staff turnover while boosting their productivity, this workshop is for you.

This workshop will propel anyone willing to adapt, change, grow and renew their enthusiasm for the arts of creativity, leadership, motivation and team building.

Employees are engaged when they believe they are going to make a difference, and not when they think they are just a transaction, and a way for the company to make money.

Getting outside of the box can not only be fun, it is sometimes necessary for our survival. That is what survival training is all about.

To cope with change, the leader must be:

• An agent of change, shifting the direction of the enterprise when needed, overcoming resistance to change, driving the change process, improving results and making it happen.


• A strategist, detecting opportunities to develop sustainable competitive advantage within an industry.


• A sensor of market opportunities, anticipating market changes, adding value for customers, leading and managing customer orientation.


• A motivator and developer of human resources, stimulating teamwork and building managerial talent within the organization.

In an empowered organization, leadership can come, and must come, from everyone. Leadership is anything that helps the organization achieve its purpose or improve its ability to achieve its purpose. Teams and organizations that are able to learn from their experience, recognize and change problem patterns, and create synergy will have a sustainable competitive advantage over those who can’t.

While leadership is easy to explain, leadership is not so easy to practice. Leadership is about behavior first, skills second. Good leaders are followed because people trust and respect them, not for the skills they possess.

This workshop includes plenty of stimulating interaction, open forum interaction, small group work together with some mind-blowing exercises.
