Everyone wants to be successful, but few are willing to do the work and even fewer know how.
According to executive coach and best-selling author Mike Acker, there is no single secret to success but five non-negotiable drivers: knowledge, experience, communication, emotional intelligence, and drive.
What about talent?
Imagine a bucket punctured with five holes. Those holes, not the bucket's size, determine its capacity. In the same way, talent is meaningless if you are failing in one (or more) of the drivers. Your success cannot rise above your lowest hole.
In The Five Drivers of Success, you'll learn:
Why boredom can be a greater obstacle than lack of talent or laziness.
The difference between punching the clock and becoming a resident expert.
How great communication overcomes weaknesses but bad communication neutralizes strengths.
Why self-focus, properly understood, is the key to effectively dealing with conflict and criticism.
How to develop the grit that gets you "over the hump."
Are you tired of being passed up by less qualified coworkers? Worried that you've already peaked? Or just starting out and looking for a reliable roadmap to the top? Whatever your story, this presentation help you need to identify, and eliminate, the limiters that are holding you back.
Leadership and communication go hand in hand. If you are great at leadership but can't communicate, people won't recognize your leadership, causing your influence (and hence leadership) to suffer. Conversely, if you're only a mediocre leader but strong in communication, you'll be better able to influence others, and your leadership will be boosted. Said another way, great communication improves leadership; weak communication diminishes it.
In this presentation, Mike reveals the three sources of confidence in communication and influence. He will reveal and apply how these sources affect us and how we can extend our leadership through effective communication.
What will the takeaways be for the audience:
Increase presence in presentation
Learn simple actions to communicate more effectively
Identify obstacles to executive presence
Effectively represent and sell to others
Get to the point instead of wasting time by rambling
Engage and win any audience
