A Blueprint for an Extraordinary Life

Your performance in the workplace depends on your personal drive, your focus and motivation, your pursuit of excellence as well as your physical health.

With an unrelenting pace and demanding schedule, your energy levels drop, your stress levels soar and you push yourself beyond your physical capacity.

You may become depleted and your performance at a physical and mental level deteriorates. Without a system in place to recharge your physical and mental strength you are also at risk of becoming ill. It turns out that most of the factors which affect your wellbeing are due to your personal life choices.

You can expect to leave this talk motivated to take a serious look at your health and life and challenge some conventional thinking. You can also expect to be motivated to make life enhancing changes and choices.

Join Dr Friedland to kick start your program and incorporate the strategies to empower yourself to ensure sustainability of your energy, performance, success and longevity.

Take home value: you will leave this talk with:

• Approach to maintain vitality, drive and personal health in the face of unrelenting stresses and demands.
• Ways to enhance vitality & energy.
• Practical lifestyle changes to restore body and mind and ‘recharge’ to peak condition ideas to ensure sustainability of your energy, performance, success and longevity

Leading a Workplace of Choice

---

Presented by: Andy Cooke. For more speaker information click here.

How to become the Team Leader of Choice in your Workplace

From thousands of conversations with people working in roles where they are managing or supervising teams, Andy's experience has been that a very large number of them identify themselves as "the accidental leader". The story sounds something like this:

An opportunity came up for them to move into a management position and with it came the next step on their career path, or a chance for a new challenge, a boost to their pay packet or the opportunity to make a difference in their organisation by leading an effective team. So for one or all of these reasons they applied for the position. When they made this next step the common (totally reasonable) assumption was that as they started this new role they would automatically receive training and guidance on how best to actually lead and manage a group of people. That they would have time to develop new skills or enhance the ones they already had in this area.

Unfortunately this expectation is often not borne out in reality!

In his session Andy's aim will be to present some first steps and important signposts on the road from "the accidental leader" to the manager of choice, including:

• Use your power! - What are your real sources of power and influence is as a manager?
• Keep the peace - There's no getting past it, managing involves working with real people and where there are people there's friction - when and how should you get involved?
• Motivate Motivate Motivate! - How can you create the kind of workplace environment that people are excited to get out of bed for?
