Program Description

It sounds simple, doesn’t it? But as a manager, you know that motivating employees is one of the toughest challenges you’ve got. 

Sure, you want to inspire them to heroic achievement, yet most days you’re lucky if you can just get them to get the job done at all. Plus, you’re so busy with dozens of other pressing responsibilities that you often don’t notice an employee’s performance is floundering until it’s too late and the damage is done. 

Master motivation tips and techniques successful leaders rely on
Truth is, motivating employees doesn’t come easily to most managers. That’s why we’ve developed this essential seminar, Highly Effective Motivation Techniques. Attend this intensive one-day management training, and you’ll discover exactly how to encourage your team to become more self-sufficient … to bring you solutions instead of problems … to eagerly take on more responsibility … to take the initiative … and to go the extra mile.  

Learn powerful feedback techniques for getting the best out of every employee
This one-day seminar created especially for results-focused supervisors and managers will show you how to:

• Create a self-reliant team that can solve 99% of its own problems
• Identify problem behaviors before they become productivity obstacles
• Manage performance by setting goals, giving feedback and monitoring results
• Apply the right incentives to motivate each individual
• Inspire a “high performance mindset”

Use performance-building tools – for exceptional results!
In just six intensive hours at this seminar, you’ll master the ability to set the right expectations. You’ll learn how to coach for higher levels of quality work and stronger productivity – whether you supervise entry-level workers or long-time employees. In short, you’ll get the proven tools and techniques you need to achieve the solid business results you want! 

You’ll return to work the very next day armed with the weapons to defeat negativity, apathy and absenteeism. You’ll create a positive atmosphere within your department – one that inspires a “can-do” attitude and where lines of communication flow freely between you and your staff.  

It’s training guaranteed to work wonders!

What You’ll Learn

Learn the Secrets Behind Inspiring Today’s Worker to Strive for More ... Each and Every Day!

1. You’ll learn what truly motivates workers.
   Proper motivation can move mountains. We’ll go beyond all the stuffy theory that you may have heard before and get to the heart of the issue: How do you create a positive environment that stimulates the greatest productivity? 



2. Identify the hidden causes for problem employees and then manage them accordingly.
   One of the hardest parts in supervising employees is distinguishing between “unwilling or unable” in their abilities. Learn how to quickly size up your underachieving worker as to which segment that they fall into and develop an action plan for turning this problem worker into a productive juggernaut! 




3. Build a team of creative problem-solvers that reflect well on you.
   It’s the dream of every boss – creating a staff of self-sufficient go-getters that take the initiative to bring you innovative solutions … not daily problems. With the skills you’ll learn during this seminar, this can easily describe your staff!

4. Recognize the signs of employee burnout and re-energize your department.
   The problem with eliminating employee burnout is that most managers and supervisors are too busy to notice the problem – until it’s too late! At this seminar, you’ll learn how to quickly identify the “red flags” of burnout and other employee problems. Plus, you’ll discover the 5 intrinsic qualities all inspirational leaders must have to keep their teams fired up when things get tough! 

5. “If no one is following, then you’re not leading.”
   Find out if your personal management style is unintentionally ruining all your hard work. Many managers are their own worst enemies when it comes to motivating employees to do more. At this seminar, you’ll learn to develop a personal management style that’s focused on action and results – no matter what your personality type is.  

6. Get your game face on.
   Every successful coach needs a game plan that best suits the teams’ strengths and weaknesses, and you’re no different. With the skills you’ll learn here, you’ll be able to bring out top quality performances in everybody from your top over-achievers to your most frustrating under-achievers. 

7. Create an atmosphere of give-and-take and watch productivity soar.
   Learn the 5 most common mistakes managers and supervisors make that kill communication flow at the office and how to avoid them. You’ll create a free-flowing communication network that will help your staff know exactly what you expect from them – AND you will know exactly what’s on the minds of your team. It’s a win-win system for everyone involved!
