Get Switched On is a fun, engaging and interactive experience designed to help people get a better attitude and take high quality action. In difficult economic times, people tend to make excuses, focus on what’s not working, and can become disillusioned. Attitudes can sour and the quality of their effort can decline.

The turnaround starts with acknowledging the gap between where you are and where you can be. What is possible for you? What have you been neglecting? What are the brutal facts you need to confront and take action on now?

Chip helps you clarify your compelling vision and a get a clear game plan for the future. What’s working? What’s exciting? Painting a picture in which you can see yourself making the vision a reality goes a long way to getting plugged back in and switched on!

Cliff Carlson, GM Field Sales & Operations, PPG Industries

For any given organization or event Rick can target his keynote to focus on one, several, or all of the organizational benefits named below. Each organizational virtue results from the rule breaking model which Rick details in his book, 7 Rules You Were Born to Break.

Communication
When being authentic is supported in any organizational setting over the need to fit in, communication channels open while misunderstandings and conflict decrease.

Innovation
When an organization’s members are supported and encouraged to take chances and engage reasonable risks rather than focusing on avoiding mistakes, innovation can occur.

Teamwork
When individuals are willing to ask for help, overcoming the rule of independence, then teamwork becomes a possibility within a group.

Productivity
When the determination to achieve and reach goals is stronger than the need to remain comfortable, productivity results.

Accountability
Workers who accept their significance within an organization bring accountability to their group and transcend the 5th rule, pretending we don’t matter.

Leadership
When building relationships is valued over the desire to force compliance from others and to stay in control, exceptional leadership emerges.

Integrity
When leaders are willing to risk their approval rating instead of being run by the need to be popular, the integrity of the organization’s vision can be preserved and realized.

The phrase “Survival of the Fittest” doesn’t refer to those who are the strongest or smartest, but to those most adaptable to change. But instead of adapting intelligently, too many franchisees react emotionally, leading to poor operational decisions. 

During this program, Scott will discuss “emotional intelligence,” outlining critical survival skills that will enable franchisees to be resilient during tough times. This enjoyable, content-rich program is filled with humor, stories and strategies that will give franchisees the emotional boost they need to move forward.

What will dominate the conversations at your next event? Chip guarantees it will be this program. The board break is an intense, emotional and climactic physical metaphor dedicated to over achievement and pushing your team’s energy to new and lasting heights. The room is filled with the spirit of self-confidence and acknowledgment. Your team, be they 30 or 2500, will be in peak emotional state, creating moments that will last a lifetime. Ask to see a video of this amazing exercise.

The room is alive and amplified with music and energy. Each person will celebrate in the thrill of overcoming adversity and experiencing an unforgettable moment of personal and team victory. They will commit to a specific personal and team goal on their board – that is what they have on the line when the break the board. That is what we will celebrate!

Chip excels at rekindling the passion for making a difference for the company, each other and the customer. This event builds trust, teamwork and total commitment. When people are concentrating on catching others doing things right – anything is possible. Igniting Team Spirit is the ultimate in employee motivation and is often added to other keynotes to create an extraordinary half-day to full-day event. This program will Unleash the Power and is the perfect closing event!

“Chip’s energy and training was perfect for our event. The “breaking of the boards” at the end of the training event created confidence and excitement in those who were doubtful and a great sense of teamwork as each person cheered the others in their efforts.It definitely kicked off our event with class and excitement!”
