It's crazy how much more pressure, stress, and distraction there is now, and the effect it's having on people.
If you're seeing too much drama, complaining, negativity, and lack of focus in your team, this is why. The pressure has essentially put everyone into survival mode.
This is not their fault, by the way. It's exactly what our systems are designed to do (respond to pressure by going into survival mode).
The problem is, survival mode is precisely where we don't want to be.
Success today requires people to be their best: creative, flexible, open, positive, cooperative, present and engaged. These are the traits companies are looking for.
They're also the first ones to go when you're in survival mode.
What this tells us is, we need new skills. We need to learn to take control of these inner processes, rather than be controlled by them.
Raise Your Inner Game, Don't Just Talk, Be Heard!, and QBQ! are all simple, practical programs designed to do exactly that.
They teach people how to rise above the pressure and distractions so they can stay out of survival mode and be more focused and productive, every single day.
About Me:
I've been a writer and professional speaker since 1997 (four books, over 300 presentations).
I'm also a life-long musician, computer geek, and student of personal development. I joined my first rock band in 1975. Was on the road full-time for ten years ('77-'87). Since then, I've released 4 CD's as a solo artist. (Rock. "Sting meets Fountains of Wayne.") I took my first programming course in 1976 (BASIC. University of Montana. DEC system 10). First computer: Commodore 64. First Apple: Mac Plus. Current lineup: iMac, iPad, iPhone, Macbook Air 11".
My wife, Margret, and I have been together for 27 years (we met waiting tables in Minneapolis). We have two beautiful children (Peter and Frances), and in 2010, left the big city for Viroqua, WI.

Raise Your Inner Game
The sad fact is, there's more pressure, stress, and distraction in our work and lives than ever before - and it's only getting worse. For people to succeed, they need to set that aside and consistently work at their highest level. Unfortunately, our natural reaction to the pressure pulls us in the opposite direction, sapping our creativity, energy and enthusiasm.
The quickest way to change that is to teach them how to master this inner process so they can consistently...

Personal Accountability and The QBQ!
Ever heard questions like these?
"Why do we have to go through all this change?"
"When is someone going to train me?"
"Who dropped the ball?"
"When are we going to find good people?"
"Why can't they communicate better?"
"When is that department going to do its job right?'
"Who's going to solve the problem?"
If you have, then you're organization is like most: suffering from Blame, Complaining, and Procrastination. Nothing brings down the...
