WHEN: Thursday January 9th, 2014
WHERE: Kitsap Bank, Port Orchard
When everyone on a work team is
focused on creating an above-the-line culture, everyone benefits and grows
while improving the engagement level of team members. An above-the-line culture
creates energized, collaborative, dedicated and trusting co-workers who
participate fully in the common purpose.
With an above-the-line culture,
employees are happier, which according to recent research posted by the Wall
Street Journal and the iOpener Institute results in:
·
Employees
stay twice as long in their jobs as their least happy colleagues,
An above-the-line culture is
critical to address the crisis in companies. According to the State of the
American Workplace: Employee Engagement Insights for U.S. Business
Leaders,"(Gallup, 2013), 70%
of workers are disengaged. Studies done by The Energy Project shows that
workers today are exhausted, emotionally depleted, unfocused, and lacking
purpose. It is no surprise they are disengaged when:
·
59%
don’t regularly get at least 7-8 hours of sleep and/or often wake up feeling
tired,
So what does this mean for you
as a CEO/Executive? It means that the way we are working isn’t working.
Consider this…
Do you or members of your team
sometimes swirl in an eddy of negative thinking, focused on what isn’t working,
only finding that you create the exact opposite result of what you want?
No one starts the day saying,
“I am going to behave and act in ways that exhaust my energy and the energy of
the people around me.” Sounds absurd doesn’t it? And yet, that is the net
effect of what happens day in and day out in offices everywhere—people go home
with their energy and enthusiasm drained and exhausted, having worked at less
than optimal levels.
There is a secret to choosing
to work with intention, passion and purpose. When we consciously choose
thoughts that align all aspects of our work and life with what energizes us, we
are more effective as leaders. The challenge is to have a process and
methodology to keep you and your team intentionally focused and conscious
throughout the day. Clarity’s Thought Changing System™
provides a simple, easy to use process to SHIFT your thought energy to be more
effective.
In this workshop, we will
explore what contributes to an above-the-line culture, create awareness about
your energy and the impact your thoughts and behaviors are having on your team,
while providing you with a practical methodology and tool to use daily to
create a peak experience which leads to peak performance.
