• You Don't Need a Title to Be a Leader: How Anyone, Anywhere, Can Make a Positive Difference

  In his work with corporate America, Mark Sanborn has found that too many definitions of leadership are focused on the outer manifestation of leadership: the title, position on the org chart, and corner office space. These perquisites of appointed leadership may have little to do with the actual ability of the individual who enjoys them to lead. Sanborn has found that the more telling characteristic of true leaders is their power with people, as opposed to the positional power they may enjoy over people.

• UP, DOWN OR SIDEWAYS: How to Succeed When Times are Good, Bad or In-Between

  Can You "Crush" an Economic Curve Ball? There is global instability in the financial markets, the U.S. faces the threat of another recession, unemployment is high and consumer confidence is low.

  How are you doing in your business?

  Mark Sanborn has insights that will help you keep hitting it out of the park despite the wicked curve balls you’re being thrown.
  In just one year, Mark simultaneously faced a life-threatening shockwave, business challenges and his investments took a serious hit. Yet, Mark remains convinced this perfect storm of setbacks was the flashpoint of a lifetime. After decades of great success, he was acutely staged to deploy his ‘mastery of the unpredictable.’

  Maybe life has pushed your face in the mud while others around you were building monuments. Maybe you’ve said, “I’m doing everything right, I don’t deserve this. Why are they successful… and I’m not?”

  The answer is elegant in its simplicity.  Your competitors are leveraging ‘the unpredictable.’

  Vigilant managers expect unpredictability to pounce from behind every bend.  So they vigorously apply what Mark found to be the six (often malnourished) principles that always ensure victory.

  Mark’s epiphany was, “setbacks can actually fuel your survival and prosperity”… in economic conditions that go Up, Down or Sideways.

  That’s why you need this presentation.

  Sanborn shows your team how to prepare for unpredictability.  He coaches you on how to inspire sane leadership during insane times.
  Despite the cheerful claim that “we choose not to participate in the recession,” the reality is that your business and customers are affected by such an economic downturn.  Mark can show you how to succeed in spite of such challenging conditions. Up, Down or Sideways is bursting with actionable ideas:

  Why “Best Practices” Are a Ticking Time Bomb.  Learn how to find “Better Practices” and “Next Practices.”   Focusing on the Only Two Ways Any Organization Can Grow.
   
  How to determine when your leaders (and their people) have stopped growing.  If they aren’t growing, your business has no chance of growing either.
  
  How to avoid overthinking “Metrics.”  Only two interconnected metrics matter: (A) great people and (B) great results.  You’ll learn how to consistently inspire both people and profits.
  
  How Customer/Client Loyalty Tactics Differ Between Vendors and Partners.  You’ll learn what is necessary to build relationships that transition you from “vendor” to “partner.”
