Aligning Personal Brand with Organizational Vision

In these challenging times, it’s more important than ever that your franchise brand cuts through the clutter and captures the mindshare of your customers and clients.

Creating a Culture of Risk-taking and Innovation

Sooner or later, every individual or franchise organization gets stuck. It’s just part of the human condition. Maybe the “stuckness” manifests as a lack of agility or an unwillingness to innovate or take risks. Maybe it’s a general feeling of malaise or disengagement. However it shows up, if you ignore your stuck state, you run the risk of mediocrity becoming your new normal.

Ignite the passion of your team with easy to implement strategies that improve performance and profits. This program is designed for organizations that want to attract new customers, wow their current customers, gain a competitive edge, and put the fun back into their workplace

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!

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.
