There is a way to get the madness to sit and your world class excellence to stay. I offer you customized training programs which improve workplace performance.

ADVANCED PERFORMANCE STRATEGIES – TRAINING
R E S I L I E N C E
Underdog University is a great program for organizations that need a boost during tough times. It increases resilience, revives the team, gets people off their asset, all while tickling your funny bone.
You’ll learn the three components of courage so you can ‘Keep Calm and Carry On’ no matter what. I’ve been described as a cross between Harvard University (sound research) and Bette Midler (fun delivery). It’s practical success strategies delivered with humour.
You’ll learn how to:
• Apply the three components of courage to excel
• Use humour to “Keep Calm and Carry On”
• Eliminate the complaining that zaps your energy
• Increase your vitality by examining your current life/work blend
• How change really happens so you can ‘fail forward’
• How to determine your next, best step
What we’ll cover:
• What researchers have discovered about resilience
• Why if you can laugh at it you can survive it
• How change really happens
• Ways to set goals even if you are allergic to them
• Real examples to use right away
I also offer you training on: Workplace Performance Management, Strategic Career Management and Speaking Power for Professionals. I invite you to roll down. (It tempting to say roll over after those canine metaphors but I held back just for you.)

If you want me to custom design a seminar for you, I am delighted to do so. We’ll use a four-step process to ensure you get exactly what you want and need.
- Discovery: I’ll conduct interviews with you and your key staff to determine what contributes to or limits your excellence. I’ll present my findings to you and then;
- Design a customized keynote or seminar targeted to your goals then;
- Deliver a speech or keynotes using the latest workplace research, humour and your very own sucess stories. After it’s time to…
- Debrief and determine what follow up would best ensure learning transfer and completion of actionable insights.
H I G H R O A – Return On Attendance: All sessions are customized through pre-event interviews with key partners and peak performers (on site preferably). Interviews often reveal a topic to be included and I can research and design components just for you. I also provide a post-event debrief to ensure knowledge retention and transfer. Live video or audio event recordings are available as are follow up tele-seminars and webinars.
I look forward to discussing your needs. Please feel free to call me at 519-858-2714

OutPerform – The Keynote
August 24, 2008
Do you need a keynote that engages, energizes and inspires your people? Would you like your staff to be the stars? So many speakers talk about themselves so few make it about you. I deliver customized keynotes that reward, recognize and build upon the talents of your people to ensure outstanding performance.
We can go big or small depending on your budget. Managers can nominate staff in categories aligned with your companies goals; then using employee video clips, storytelling and live audience interaction, I create an awards show atmosphere that is entertaining and educational. We can even add a red carpet and paparazzi. Or we can co-design a theme to truly re-ignite your teams using humour and evidence-based research on workplace excellence.
Outperform – The Keynote
• Creates a culture of excellence through recognition and appreciation
• Inspires employees by showcasing their achievements
• Boosts employee morale and pride in your enterprise
• Provides opportunity for manager-led, action plan discussions pre and post event
• Energizes staff to set new priorities and take action
• Increases visibility of your ‘in house’ resources to assist with action plans
• Use the latest workplace research and humour to foster excellence
During ten years as a senior career strategist, Louise walked the halls of every industry and coached staff at all levels. Over and over she heard “Why am I working so hard? Does anyone care? Does anyone even notice?” And yet she saw dedicated people still going the extra mile, starving for appreciation. Celebration Keynotes were designed to improve the employee effort to reward ratio so you keep your best staff achieving what matters most.
