MARGARET’S MOST POPULAR TOPICs:

So many of us are stuck in the Same Old Stuff (SOS), at work and in our lives, held back by our assumptions and beliefs, thinking our options are limited.

In this program we address the stories that stifle progress. You will learn how to remove barriers to creative thinking, effectively handle naysayers and understand the connection to risk taking. You will be able to apply creativity exercises to inspire ideas and solve problems in your work and personal life and assist others to create. As an attendee, you will plan your next steps to implement ideas and strategically move yourself and your company forward through innovation.

As a result of this program you will no longer be stuck trying to solve problems without any idea on which direction to take. You will be armed with a variety of techniques to spur on your creativity and continuously generate ideas and solutions and be Well On the Way (WOW) to achieving your goals. No longer paralyzed with fear, you will be able to analyze situations effectively and successfully move forward with the formula:

Assumption Busting + Creativity + Risk Taking = Innovation

We see or hear it, we develop our take on it, we start to believe our assumptions are true and then we act accordingly on our beliefs. It happens to all of us. And so many times our beliefs lead us astray. We will examine thinking patterns and learn to look for opportunities rather than problems, strengths more than weaknesses, and what can be done instead of what can’t. We will address the areas where you react negatively and change the way you see yourselves, others and situations — so you can move ahead unobstructed, exploring new possibilities. 

MArgaret’s NEWEST TOPIC:

STRESS!!!! The one thing everyone has and wants to eliminate. How did we get here? We are constantly bombarded with information to filter through from conflicting data sources, requests to engage, additional projects, responsibilities and general overwhelm. This overload is termed INFOBesity. It affects our performance as well as our working relationships. How do we control it? Through high performance practices - including a focus on values, habits, emotional intelligence, energy checks, and strategy and meditation time – we will find a way to simplify and make sense of the craziness, forming effective strategies for innovative performance moving forward.
