Jones Loflin

Powerful Ideas/Practical Solutions/Personal Approach

Jones Loflin is a top leadership keynote speaker, author, coach and former educator. Jones’ passion is helping people make the most of their time so they can thrive; both in leadership and in their struggle of too much to do. Jones’ keynotes combine his amazing storytelling style with direct and profound tools that have immediate applications. Jones co-authored the book, Juggling Elephants, published in 14 countries, that uses the analogy of a circus ringmaster who balances acts between 3 rings: work, relationships and self. His leadership book, Always Growing, uses the analogy of a gardener to tackle many of the challenges found in leadership: how to motivate, develop and empower a diverse group of people to work together to achieve remarkable results.

What To Do About Too Much To Do

Does this sound familiar?  You have too much to do, too many priorities, too much stress and too little time.  If this sounds like you, you may want to run away and join the circus!  And you should! Well, mentally, that is. ...

Does this sound familiar?  You have too much to do, too many priorities, too much stress and too little time.  If this sounds like you, you may want to run away and join the circus!  And you should! Well, mentally, that is.

Using the engaging metaphor of a circus ringmaster (you) balancing the rings of Work, Relationships and Self, Jones equips participants to win against the struggle of competing priorities, take greater control of their time and energy, and accomplish what is most important to them and their organization.

Based off of his award winning book, Juggling Elephants, participants will learn new ways to work with the performers in their circus and understand why they need to take an intermission.  Most importantly, they will leave with the ability to make sure that what they say is important actually gets done!

Key Objectives

  • Recognize the fallacy of trying to “get it all done”
  • Identify the sources of professional and/or personal overload that are most limiting your ability to thrive
  • Create a consistent daily and weekly time management plan that addresses your highest priorities
  • Work with others more effectively so EVERYONE is getting the right work done
  • Identify and better manage the tsunami of interruptions and distractions coming at you every day

You’re ready to take your leadership to the next level. The question is, “How?”

Based on his book, Always Growing, Jones uses the simple analogy of a gardener to give a fresh perspective on how you can motivate, empower, and develop any team using four simple words: Grow, Cultivate, Prune, and Harvest.

  • Identify potential changes that can increase time spent on highest priorities
  • Improve communication practices with team members to strengthen clarity about expectations and priorities
  • Modify individual work routines that are limiting their ability to lead successfully
  • ?Identify three specific areas they need to address daily as a leader or manager

Testimonials

“Jones was excellent! I was thoroughly impressed. His presentation was excellent, as I expected, but what set him apart was that he’d taken time to learn a little about what the audience does and he expertly wove that into the presentation and kept bringing it back to what they did. It really made the audience engage with him. I was very impressed. Overall feedback from attendees on site has been very positive. So thank you! He’s a great speaker and I hope to invite him back in the future.”

Rebecca Hendren

Event Planner, Simplify Compliance

“Jones was indeed well received. And I even commented to someone that when I first met him, you would have thought we’d known each other for a long time! It was great and he made you feel very at ease! He was great at keeping the audience engaged and they came away from his seminar commenting on, “sure gave me a lot to think about” and “maybe I need to change a few things like Jones said and my life won’t be so hectic”!”

Jackie Brown

Wendy Wilson Wilber

“I hope you’ve gotten some rest from your whirlwind visit with us. You were just fantastic, my friend! I love your energy level. Your running with you’re your daughter must really be working because you never lost your breath in your presentation even after running up and down the steps in the auditorium! You created a lot of excitement at both presentations and I’ve heard many, many positive comments from my co-workers. I just wish we had your opening from the WHQ event where you talked about being a package – that was fabulous!”

Peggy Hall

Global Leadership Institute, Federal Express

“Thanks for coming out to Tractor Supply to facilitate Juggling Elephants yesterday. Several participants engaged with me after the program was complete to share how much they enjoyed the presentation. One person even mentioned that you were the “best presenter they had seen in their life” in their long career of working! Even more impressive, several managers provided comments during their graduation speeches to the executive team on how Juggling Elephants has helped them realize the importance of having balance in their life. I look forward to working with you again!”

Albert Dennis

“You did an absolutely terrific job on your presentation. We heard so many great comments and there was such great turnout – your session was definitely a hit with our members! We appreciate how easy you were to work with, as well as how you just went with the flow of the event. That is always so helpful from the planning side. I heard that there were many, many books sold, so that alone is a great testament to your session and info. The content was perfect and so helpful. Wouldn’t hesitate to highly recommend you to any of my planner friends and colleagues. You were a delight to work with!!”
