Presentations

One of the best things you can do to improve yourself is to learn how to connect with people.  Connection is simply defined as I see you as a person. The phrase used today to describe what is going on in society is extraverted loneliness, which means we are walking around in a crowded world yet people have never reported feeling more lonely and isolated. Connection is the answer to this dilemma – an intentional act to convey a message to our clients that they are seen as a person.

There is not enough education given to simple connection which is the reason why people go and eventually stay in relationships.  It is also very important with teams and companies.  In the absence of connection, fear usually rules.  Fear is the great disabler, and it is more dangerous today because fear is so widespread..  With the present volatility of the financial markets, constant change is all fields, and the constant alarm message by the media, this is especially true in the corporate world.  If the leader or the advisor can make each client feel valued and seen as an individual, all indication is there is not fear but confidence and strength.  The biggest mistake is to treat clients and employees like commodities.  Connection is learning to treat people like people and not numbers.  You will be amazed at how it will change your level of success.

This workshop will help participants utilize tactics to connect to others.  It teaches self-talk to help connect, listening skills (feel, felt, found) and the use of thank you.

This seminar consists of four major points and their associated action items:

Point 1: Those who have goals make twice as much over time as those who do not, according to a research study conducted with MBA students at Harvard University over ten years.

Goal: Get a notebook and write daily goals.

Point 2: Clear mental clutter.  A person is effective when realizing “there are some things beyond my control and there are some things that are not.” When the vision/goals are clear, one is pulled to them, but what makes the vision fuzzy is mental clutter, or thoughts in our head about things we can do nothing about.

Goal: Develop a focus phrase that clears the mind and then to write it on a card supplied at   the seminar that the participant can keep in a wallet or purse.

Point 3: Develop a “game plan”.  The process to do so is discussed, exploring effective strategies to adhere to one. A key to performance is to get to our day and start our process as early as possible and without emotion.

Goal: Develop a personal script to use when starting the day to visualize the process and to focus before starting each day.

Point 4: “Claim” the vision. High-level performers know the effectiveness of asking and asking and asking.

Goal: Leave the seminar and focus on asking for what one wants, or claiming it.

This program addresses life-changing concepts by explaining the step-by-step process necessary to guide you. Dr. Elko teaches you how to be mentally tough when times call for it, and how to stay focused on the things that are truly important.

Winners always look for a solution. It is the difference between being an over-developed survivor or a developed achiever. This discussion presents a five-step system of first creating a vision of what you want to accomplish and then taking the necessary action steps to get there.

These are not tough times they are changing times, this is a very important distinction because as one labels they tend to adopt a set of behaviors that follow their label. This talk outlines how the participant identifies the changes in their world and develops mental strategies to do the changes needed to become effective again.
