"If you want to laugh, howl, learn relevant tools in an engaging and interactive session, Kevin IS your man." We gave Kevin McDaniel the toughest slot, the last session of our intense two day annual retreat in which fifty financial advisors convene in Atlanta to learn and share. Kevin “knocked it out of the park.” Kevin is such an excellent and engaging speaker, that you did not want him to quit. Further, he customized his talk, “You’ve been Upgraded” to tie-in perfectly with our theme, “Share Your Story.” He modified his title to “Change Your Story, Change Your Life. It is rare that audience members take the tools and techniques presented and actually apply them to their life. I know for a fact that over fifty percent of our advisors have done so. We will invite Kevin again. If you want to laugh, howl, learn relevant tools in an engaging and interactive session, Kevin IS your man. Donald W.

And because no one knows a company’s needs like the company itself, all of these are completely customizable to meet each organization’s unique challenges and opportunities You know the examples of leaders that set and drive a culture. Steve Jobs set a culture of perfection and exactitude and Apple has enjoyed an uninterrupted run of technologically complex but beautifully simple, game changing products. Richard Branson sets a culture of brash innovation and Virgin Atlantic is the first commercial airline to initiate a space traveling component. You hear about innovative leaders, visionary leaders, empathic leaders and number-crunching leaders…it’s a less frequent occurrence to celebrate the collaborative leader. This shouldn’t be the case--the crux of how successful a business is relies on how well and how efficiently people can work together. We’d like to think it’s only about the idea or the technological might, but few are the companies that can simply code their way to innovative success (these are celebrated too by the way). More often than not, even in the most technologically advanced companies, people working with one another drives business. In fact 91% of today’s workforce is a part of one or more teams! The largest group of thinkers in our database numbers only 17% of the population. At best, just under 1/5th of nearly your entire organization is going to come at problems and ideas from a similar thinking mindset. Add in differing behavioral tendencies and the number shrinks to almost nil. Collaboration is necessary…but it isn’t easy. The interdependency required at every level of work is amazing, from setting and attending a meeting, to delivering a budget to actually performing stated roles. What can drive higher performance though is the commitment and energy of those at the top. A leader who understands difference, demonstrates cooperative learning and performance techniques, and shows real, true benefits on a business level can empower an entire workforce. Flowery language about coming together can’t inspire true collaboration. Leaders need to:
Complex collaboration is a high level skill. It takes effort. But engaging in the type of behavior that breeds a climate of collaborative behavior can pay big dividends.
