KEYNOTE
“We tried that. It won’t work. There’s no way to do that right now.”
These and other excuses plague individuals, companies, and organizations. In the end, most excuses come down to the two-word silent saboteur: I CAN’T! Two words that cripple success and guarantee failure.
Imagine instead people and teams approaching challenges head-on as opportunities.
From ‘Average Joe’ to world-traveler and award-winning entertainer, the energizing International speaker Joe Fingerhut brings the audience on an exciting and engaging journey landing on three simple words that unlock potential and possibility in people and organizations alike – HOW CAN I?
This program ignites energy and potential – starting at your event, and carrying over to everyday life and work experience. These tools to help overcome adversity and apathy lead to more productive, positive people and teams that get results and support each other.
Stop the two-word silent saboteur I CAN’T and unlock potential and possibility for your people, your organization and your event with HOW CAN I?
BREAKOUT/WORKSHOP
This wildly participatory program engages the group and solidifies the HOW CAN I? mindset in a fun environment that translates directly to daily challenges with individuals and teams.
More than just a Juggling Workshop. . .
The tools used look like a circus class, with juggling Balls, rings, Chinese Yo Yo, Flower Sticks, Peacock Feathers, Stilts and more. The lessons learned will be far greater than keeping three objects in the air or balancing on a board.
Reduced stress and healthier communication with co-workers produce a more positive work environment that your people are excited to be a part of and continue to participate in. Improved empathy in customer service will lead to loyal clients who are raving fans. And so much more!
Give your people (and yourself) Permission to PLAY!
How do you build Teamwork without making it feel like homework?
According to a famous quote attributed to Plato, you can learn more about a person in an hour of play than you can in a lifetime of conversation. The Ready, Set, RECESS program rings the recess bell and takes us back to 3rd grade, when our brains were open to possibilities.
Strategic improv and communication games help participants re-discover lessons learned long ago. These lessons, when applied today, inspire your team to collaborate and communicate with an open mind. Access exponential potential with the evolution of How Can I? into How Can WE?.
Ready, Set, RECESS Results in: –Thinking beyond the obvious possibilities, leading to more creative problem-solving.
–Enhanced connection producing greater workplace cohesion, productivity, and retention. –Avoiding stagnation and propelling teams and organizations to accomplishment
In the constantly evolving dynamics of today’s employment environments, the next steps are rarely crystal clear. Leadership in a team dynamic demands different styles for different people. However, three elements of leadership are universally effective: Grit, Grace, and Gratitude.
Leading with Grit, Grace, and Gratitude creates an atmosphere where people and teams feel re-energized, validated, and appreciated.
Teams who are:
RE-ENERGIZED avoid burnout, turnover, and the expensive process of replacing and re-hiring. VALIDATED enjoy a positive work environment that retains your stars and gets results quicker. APPRECIATED show up in ways you never imagined they could or would.
