Success through Happiness

More and more research shows people's happiness level has a huge impact on their capability to succeed. This finding made companies put a spotlight on contributing to their employees Happiness levels. In an inspiring talk, Miguel explains the relationship between Success and Happiness and what companies and people can do together to boost both.

Developing a winning spirit

Being able to systematically achieve ambitious goals depends more on acquired habits than genetics.

In this short program we will engage the necessary ingredients to make a winner and we will see how each person can develop their own formula for success.

How to pitch more successfully

This one day workshop combines theory with practice based on cases and exercises specially designed to achieve the following goals:

The team winning conscience about the importance how they present and deliver the proposals;
Arming the team with a set of tools they can use in the preparation and presentation of proposals;
Inspiring the to continuously search to perfect themselves as salespersons.

Leading in times of uncertainty

We live times of great uncertainty. That is a fact. But that is no reason to panic or leave everything to chance.

In the life of a company, uncertainty means having to constantly re-access the market and adjust plans. To be able to do that, managers need to develop an attitude of constant search for opportunities and threats and adopt behaviours that generate change in the entire organisation.

But the human nature is averse to change. The search for the comfort of the well known and the repetition of behaviours is the norm.

This program is design to break this pattern and allow managers to anticipate, adapt and thrive with change without exposing the company to unnecessary risks.

The art of increasing productivity without stress

More and more it is critical for each element of a team to sustain high standards of productivity. And that doesn’t mean working for longer hours. Quite the contrary. Nor should it mean to work under constant high levels of stress.

In this workshop participants will learn about the pitfalls of stress, and how to mentally prepare themselves for becoming more productive. They will also learn about habits that boost productivity while reducing stress and how they can create those habits.

The power of communication

Trust is the best foundation to deliver an effective communication, in which the audience feels involved and inspired to act. But that is not the only factor.

In this workshop we will work on how to quickly establish trust an d also several advance communication techniques involving what people should say (verbal communication) and how they should deliver that message (non verbal communication).

It is a workshop designed for top level management, who need to address big teams both internal or external.
