”The biggest challenge facing organizations today is not global  competition or technology, but rather complacency and fear.

What troubles me the most is that at a time of  unprecedented growth and opportunity, many of us have lost the will, the heart, and the know-how to WIN!”

Marcia Steele

Who is this Keynote for: This presentation is targeted executives and management. It can be customized for general session audiences, as well as Professional and Trade Association audiences.

Format: The program can be delivered as a keynote/general session talk, break-out session, or half or full-day workshop.

Why Critical: Strategy is created at the higher levels but executed at the lower levels. We must engage the minds and hearts of those who must think and act strategically. This is becoming increasing difficult as more and more staff become disenchanted, discouraged and disengage.

Research by The Gallup Organization; found that only 29% of the American workforce is engaged. The other 71% are either Not-Engaged (55%) or Actively Disengaged (16%).

In this session you will learn:

• Strategies on how to communicate your company's vision to inspire each associate to engage more, understand more, and contribute more to the organization’s bottom line.

• Techniques for turning disengaged employees into viable communicators, dedicated team players, and committed leaders transforming apathy into passion, and vision into reality.

• Unlock the value of your world class infrastructure and rediscover their motivation to succeed!

She will impart tools for communicating, inspiring, and transforming disengaged employees into viable contributors—Creating an Engaged and Collaborative Workforce: Winning From the Inside Out.
