Content: For most people in our society, happiness is a situational phenomenon, tied directly to the outside factors in their lives. Our materialistic culture breeds—and relies on—the belief that the quality of our days (our feelings) is determined by the quantity and quality of “stuff ” we can purchase. In this upbeat session, Jim will offer an alternative perspective on the quality of our days based on spiritual concepts & principles. Using plenty of humor and his own experiences on his spiritual path, Jim will offer down-to earth suggestions for Creating Better Days...Regardless of the Hands You’re Dealt.

Content: Crisis and Change are the circumstances in which leadership is most needed – and most difficult. Crisis and change are also the crucibles in which dynamic leaders are forged. During these times of economic uncertainty, many organizations are just hoping to survive. Others are looking for ways to win. A key difference between these two organizational approaches to adversity is the quality of leadership. Jim will help you identify specific situations in which employee behavior is especially important to organizational success…Define the specific behavior they expect in those situations…Ensure that employees understand their expectations…Model the behavior they expect…Measure performance using expected behavior as the standard…and confront unwillingness to meet expectations.
