Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

Today's challenging economy demands a committed, engaged team approach to ensure that our organization will thrive in the days ahead. People must continue to be proactive and take risks and not react with fear.

Fear and anxiety kill innovation and creativity because they turn employees into turtles. They pull back into their shells and think "do nothing wrong" instead of "do the right thing" and "don't rock the boat" instead of "take intelligent risks". These are exactly the wrong attitudes and behaviors at any time but especially so now when organizations need all the new ideas they can get just to stay even.

As leaders we need to create engaged teams that will drive performance in spite of this negative atmosphere. Overcoming the "turtle mentality" through this workshop series will give you the tools you need to replace negativity with enthusiasm and "do-nothing" with can-do.
