Leadership Seminars

Training is an investment, not an expense that detracts from the bottom line. In America, businesses typically spend 1.5-2.0% of their gross payroll on training to improve employee skills. In Europe and Japan, they spend three times this much! Increased training drives down the cost of production because there are fewer errors, less waste, more innovation, and better attitudes and morale among the workers.

Is your organization investing in your organization’s future???

Training enables your employees to remain productive despite changes in technology, in people, in the economy, and in government regulations. In addition, higher productivity is also a hedge against changes due to industry competition and to client’s needs. Motorola reported, for example, that every dollar invested in training delivered $30 in productivity gains! The Stanford Research Institute reported that business success depends on 13% product knowledge and 87% on people-skill knowledge.

So What’s Our Approach?

  1. We help the individuals on your team discover their people strengths.
  2. Then we help them to develop strategies to use these strengths.
  3. And finally, we ensure the learning is reinforced to help your people internalize and master the new learning.
  4. In all facets of the training the learning is practical, timely, inspiring, and fun!

One Size Doesn’t Fit All

We realize that your specific and unique needs are different. No two organizations, even in the same field or industry, are exactly alike. All seminars are custom designed for the client. Consultation with the client will determine what the content will be. Two formats are available for the seminars: half day (3 hours) or full day (six hours). Unlike other programs that result in the “sunburn effect” (in which the training fades out shortly after the event), our sessions produce memorable and lasting results.

Rather than having a sage on the stage, you will have a guide on the side who will facilitate a dialogue among your participants to help them discover the truths about leadership, teamwork, motivation, courage, and achievement.

This was the first presentation that inspired my members to turn off their cell phones. One of the spouses who attended (a CPA) sent me a note saying, ‘I particularly enjoyed Larry Kryske’s motivational program. He is a truly gifted speaker, and his material was so beneficial and inspirational both from a professional and personal perspective.’ “

Colin Holland, Regional Vice President, NEXTEL, said, “Your two leadership programs captured my philosophy perfectly. In fact, you expounded on two quotations that I shared with my team earlier in the day. We need to be reminded on a frequent basis of those critical messages.”

Vance Strange, Vice President for Corporate Development, Riggs Tractor Company (Caterpillar) said, “Thanks to your leadership presentation, the Associated Builders & Contractors Convention was a great success.

We received glowing remarks from our participants. Hope we can find a way to use your services again in the future. It’s good to break out of the “dietitian” mold on occasion.”
