Change

Life by Design
1 to 2 hour
Based upon the speaker's first motivational book, Life by Design, this extended session is about YOU and YOUR life! It is about where you see yourself now (point a) and where you'd like to see yourself in the future (point b). Using a "life" to "house" analogy, the original concepts presented will assist you in identifying your definition of "having it all" and what changes you need to start working on NOW to achieve a "dream" life that for YOU is fulfilling and meaningful. Are you really content with your relationships, communities, job, health, family, financial situation, or career choice - to name a few? Do you control your destiny or do you feel that you're going through the motions - living everyone else's definition of "having it all?" Self-exploration techniques will be presented that will assist you in figuring out HOW to make the desired changes in your life not IF you will ever make them. Be careful, there just might be some work to be done on your life!

You Want Me to Do What? Change Implementation Strategies
1 to 2 hours
Change this! Not everyone embraces change. How do you get others to buy into it? How do you light a fire under those needed to make change happen? In order to inspire, educate and lead your "team" or group into action you (and your team) need to know more about the Denney Change Theory and how to apply it to your personal or professional needs. This session will present a few strategies on how to implement change and review what conditions are needed in order for others to consider implementing change. Tips on how to motivate others will be shared along with a self-analysis of how well you respond to change. Self-exploration exercises and worksheets help participants understand the "personality" of change.
