WATCH PROMO VIDEO

Steve was great to work with! He took the time to get to know details about our group and the conference program. He even offered to do a promotional video for our meeting and recorded the video in no time. He texted us when he arrived at the hotel and let us know he would be down early to make sure everything was ready for his presentation. His message was the perfect wrap-up for our program. It was humorous, relatable, and full of practical leadership lessons. After his presentation, he took the time to chat with attendees and even offered to help Lauren and I pack up our table! I really can’t think of anything he could have done differently to make his presentation better.

THE SAFARI WAY TO BUILD EFFECTIVE TEAMS

As the leader of your work safari, how do you get the right peeps in your jeep? Do you feel like you are hiring the right people? Are they sticking around and being as productive and engaged as you hope? How do you work with your current team members to get them more engaged? Do you feel like it’s just a numbers game; like if you keep hiring new people you will eventually have a great team? Do you find yourself hoping you will make the right hire? Or hoping that people will start to “get it”?

Hope is not a strategy.

THE SAFARI WAY TO BE HAPPIER AT WORK

Do you ever wonder why there are jobs you have loved that are really exhausting for little pay and lots of stress? And while some jobs you have hated even through they were pretty easy?

We assume it’s because of the manager or the success of the company. Certainly those things can make our work experience better or worse, but dig deeper. Can you really correlate your overall happiness to your manger the success of the company?

Usually the answer is no.
