    Achieving a culture of accountability includes setting performance goals, establishing regular meetings to monitor progress, and having accountability conversations along the way. There’s a process you can follow that will make accountability conversations easier… even natural and uplifting.

  • Finding Dominoes: Changing Your World One Encounter At A Time

    Gary Sinclair, Director and Founder, Never Quit Climbing

    TOPIC CATEGORY: Motivational

    Let's face it, most people eventually wonder if they're making a real difference because of what they do, who they are or how much they've accomplished. This is especially true for those who work with people in education, medicine, mental health, faith institutions, non-profits and the like. They often don't see the results of their work or relationships in general, so get discouraged and sometimes ready to quit. This presentation will help change hearts, minds and attitudes through real-life stories and principles that show how impacting just one person can literally over time touch tens, scores, hundreds, even thousands whether they see the results or not. MORE >

    Gary compares the process to a large domino display where a first domino must be pushed to start a chain reaction of other dominoes that impact other dominoes, etc. The audience begins to see how they too can impact far more than they'll ever know and in fact, probably already do. This presentation is powerful and often brings tears to the eyes of teachers, doctors, nurses, counselors, church workers and even service workers who serve in restaurants or cut hair. Each person in the audience also gets a domino to take with them and remind them to keep their eyes, ears and hearts open to who might be the "first domino" for them that day.

  • Healing a Nation Through Common Ground Communication

    David Bennett, Owner, Common Ground Communication

    TOPIC CATEGORY: Business

    It is apparent over the last few years that the United States is deeply divided. There are not only many different perspectives but, those perspectives are often rigidly held. But, what can be done, and more importantly what can each of us do to bring the people of this country together? MORE >

    I believe it starts with each of us and our communication with our family, friends, and work colleagues. To bridge differences and promote understanding of different perspectives, we need to find common ground with one another. We need to find commonalities not just differences. We can start a dialogue with people we disagree with by first finding the areas on which we agree. It is clear that there are more areas on which we agree than on which we disagree, but we often lose perspective when someone challenges or disagrees with us.

    When we put this to work in our communication we develop "connections" with one another. This connection leads to a greater respect and understanding of diverse perspectives.

    I've seen this approach make a tremendous difference with people and groups. And it's not hard for people to adopt. They already have the skills needed. It's just matter of applying some existing skills differently, enhancing other skills, and putting it all together with every person with whom they interact in every conversation.

    I share my perspectives on how common ground connections can help bridge differences and bring people together with participants at conferences and meetings. I work with individuals and companies on identifying and resolving communication issues and improving existing communication skills.

    Now more than ever we need to communicate in such a way that we establish common ground connections with everyone. I hope to work with you in helping you do that.
