The Productivity Toolkit™
“Major kudos on the design and delivery of The Productivity ToolkitTM teleclass! What a relief it is to have a system for organizing everything my fingers touch – including my electronic desktop. I was letting the physical clutter get in the way of my whole business approach. Now, I have a clean space, and a way to keep clear-headed for the “bigger game” you see me playing. Your right-brain enthusiasm and left-brain smarts are true assets to all your clients.”

Christie Day,

They're innovative, practical and extremely relevant to our audiences. He consistently brings tremendous value to our events and gets top marks from our participants, which is why we keep bringing him back year after year.

Coaching For Great Work (C4GW): Coach Training Program

As a manager or leader you’ve heard coaching is hot and it works. You may be wondering if it’s really worth all the press it gets, or perhaps you don’t know where to start. If you’ve been eager you might have read a book or watched a podcast about it. Wherever you’re at, I’m willing to bet you find applying coaching skills a little complicated and awkward. And besides, even if you’d mastered the skills, who the heck has the time?

Coaching effectively doesn’t have to be a “black-art”, require years of training, the perfect personality type or as much time as you think. Indeed, when you have an ultra-simple paint-by-numbers system you can capture the bulk of the value coaching has to offer very quickly and easily.

C4GW is a 1-2 day program designed to help you and your managers engage, develop and leverage others fast. Unlike all the other coach training programs we’ve seen, it’s designed to operate in the time-strapped reality of today’s manager. Learn more about our Coaching for Great Work Program.

Speaking Engagements

I give talks, presentations and workshops to organizations, professional groups and conferences. The best groups for me consist of career-minded up-and-comers who work for medium to large companies and the senior leaders they report to.

Ideal participants are interested in becoming more effective players in their organization but want to work smarter, not necessarily longer. I have spoken in-person across Canada and also deliver material via teleconference.

If you’re looking for a light-hearted, practical, yet engaging speaker who can add significant value to a group meeting, company event, offsite or conference, I may be your answer. Learn more about my leadership keynotes and workshops.

Format: in-person or tele-seminar
