This presentation deals with key principles that assist us in leadership roles, especially in times of change or resistant situations. Carl talks about a heart that enables you to recognize your own strengths; a backbone that is strong, yet flexible; muscles that provide perseverance; hands to assist others as you help yourself achieve; shoulders that can carry the burden of responsibility; a brain that possesses creativity; eyes that can visualize goals and possibilities; ears that listen to your own conscience and to new ideas; a mouth that effectively communicates and compliments others; and feet that carry you on the road to success. Through the use of great anecdotes and examples, Carl takes a complex subject and simplifies it by looking at its individual component parts. Keynote, Banquet, or Seminar.

ARE WE COMMUNICATING YET? - It's Not What You Say, It's What They Hear That Counts.

The American Management Association reports that 90 percent of all problems in an organization is a direct result of poor communication. Marriage and family counselors also point to poor communication as a common reason for interpersonal conflicts. In his usual entertaining manner, Carl deals with reasons for poor communication and how to establish good communication, emphasizing: "Effective communication does not occur merely because a message has been presented. More important than what is said is how others perceive and respond to what is said. The greatest obstacle to good communication is assuming that communication has taken place when it hasn't." Especially emphasized are the difference between hearing and listening and why most people are poor listeners. Keynote, Banquet, or Seminar.

RELATIONSHIP SKILLS - The Answer Begins With You!

Developed from his own national survey and his work in business and sports, Carl presents characteristics of people who relate successfully to others. He deals with what turns people on and motivates them, what leads employees and co-workers to view their work as a way of life instead of merely a job with a paycheck, what helps spouses and children feel like integral parts of your life. This presentation does not deal with carrots, sticks or manipulation. It is based on the premise that one person cannot truly motivate another person or group of people. It is based on the premise that since all true motivation must come from within the individual, we must create an atmosphere that incubates self-motivation. When we create such an atmosphere, people thrive in it and everyone wins as a result. Keynote, Banquet, or Seminar.
