Strategic Planning

• For associations, teams, and individuals in business or non-profit

I’ve participated in more planning sessions than I care to remember, so I know first hand how frustrating and painful the process can be: over-reaching, unfocussed, endless word smithing. Sound familiar?

A successful planning session results in clear, actionable strategic plan that brings the vision to life.

As a planning facilitator with more than 10 years experience, I help individuals and teams, including local, regional and state associations, create strategic plans that stick using the Best Work method of aligning intention (what you want to accomplish and why), direction (where you are heading and who is accountable), and action (how you will do it).

The Intentional Leader

• For associations, teams, and individuals in business or non-profit
• Available as a keynote, stand-alone 1-4 hour workshop, or in conjunction with strategic planning.

Being unprepared going into a leadership position can create havoc, not only for you, but for those you wish to lead. Mastering your ability to connect meaningfully with people and establishing respect through your value proposition is a vital component of successful leadership. Whether you are an Association Executive, Broker Owner/Manager or established as a community leader, incorporating proven strategies for staff, volunteer leaders and team members ensures you hit the ground running in order to produce your best work. Join Evan in this “hands on” program as he shows you how to gain team buy-in on clearly defined goals and implement effective tactics to ensure your team remains on task and on time.

Law of the Jungle Keynote

• For association volunteers, staff, and leadership teams
• For organizations, firms, or teams in business or non-profit

Is your team focused and moving in a clearly defined direction? Are your team members in agreement about how to produce their best work?

“For the strength of the pack is wolf. And the strength of the wolf is the pack.”

This inspirational session explores the power of finding common ground and getting agreement on key principles in order to build a strong pack. Leaders are challenged to find their pack and discover the interdependent relationship of the individual and the community.

Play to your Strengths

Real Estate is a Team Sport

• For association volunteers, staff, and leadership teams
• For organizations, firms, or teams in business or non-profit

The object of the game is to cross the finish line and close the transaction. But there are lots of players on the team, and it takes a good coach to get them all pushing in the same direction.

Delivered as a keynote or workshop, this session helps agents discover the powerful impact of assuming the role of the coach of the team in order to close more sales in less time with fewer headaches.
