If it’s Broke
Don’t Fix it
We’ve all heard, “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.” But what about, “if it’s broke, don’t fix it?
Sometimes, we must stop looking at the rear-view mirror and get our eyes back on the road! Looking ahead to what we can build, not rebuild, is the best way to manage adversity in business and life. The mindset needed to overcome challenges and achieve our desired outcomes is solution-based thinking about what we can (and will) create. It's not to say that we shouldn't look back at all—remembering the good times and learning from the not-so-good times is a healthy practice. However, we've all got to learn to "build" our new and improved reality and let go of the desire to "rebuild" the pre-existing one.
Creating a More Resilient Workplace
Shifting your perspective amid turbulent times can take you and your team from surviving to thriving.
In today’s ever-changing work environments, most people view intelligence, skill level, and commitment as the premier defining factors for whether someone will be successful or not.
Resilience in the workplace has never been more critical when you consider the array of stressors like pressing deadlines, cutbacks, organizational restructuring, technological advancements, system redundancies, and policy changes. The process of analyzing failures, learning valuable lessons, and changing your strategies is essential for success when facing adversity.
The Four Pillars of Leadership & The Athlete Mindset
Explore a deep dive into how the four pillars that athletes use to achieve elite performances will take your leadership to an elite level.
Great leaders exemplify the behaviour they expect to see in their teams. True, but the question is, how can you ensure your leadership practices demonstrate an excellent example for your followers?
Together, we’ll look at sports for the answer.
This workshop will prepare, empower, and move you to achieve excellence in leadership akin to the athlete mindset, which isn't reserved for athletes—it’s something we can all activate for prosperity at work and in life.
How to Build a High Functioning Team Out of Your Existing One
In most team environments, from minor league sports to the boardroom, team members are chosen, not pulled together randomly. Talent identification is part of the process, but members get selected to join a team based on measurable skills.
But what happens if you don’t get to pick your team?
Or, what happens when you join a team and are forced to fit in?
And how do you turn your existing team into a high-functioning one?
In this breakout session, participants will learn about three critical areas of team building: culture, cohesion, and vision. Developing these areas with new and existing team members will help you achieve results.
Resilience in Safety: How to Future-Proof Your Organization
Psychosocial safety and resilience in the workplace have never been more important.
When faced with an accident, incident, or potential disaster, safety professionals often view it as a failure for themselves and their organization, which diminishes progress and stifles growth.
While incident investigations are essential for organizational learning, ‘blame’ negates a good safety culture. No matter what precautions we take, we must understand that human factors are at play in every work environment, and humans make mistakes. How safety personnel respond to challenges and the steps we take to future-proof our organizations can positively influence culture, save time and money, and most importantly—save lives.
