Every manager has hidden costs baked into their enterprise, which are the unforeseen expenses of doing business. These costs range from trivial like maintenance to significant like legal fees. This seminar teaches managers to expose hidden costs and convert them into newfound revenue. Human Nature is the most expensive hidden cost, therefore Human Nature is the most profitable opportunity. How do we prevail over an insurmountable force like Human Nature? Individual and collective Prosperity Trait Index© results reveal the Hidden Costs of Human Nature. Managers apply tools and strategies to reduce the natural defects of an organization's collective Prosperity Trait expediting growth, increasing revenue, improving productivity, and expanding profit margins.

You see the need for change, but you can’t do it alone. The problem is your employees have no sense of it. As a result, they don’t share your priorities. It’s like they work in a completely different environment. But they don’t. You see the environment as it is. You see the reality. Your organization is vulnerable because the evidence is clear to you, but your employees act as if they are impervious to market forces. What are the forces preventing your employees from seeing reality? Entitlement? Possibly. Narrow comfort zones? Perhaps. Complacency? Probably. A tight labor market? Certainly. Many leaders descend into fear and intimidation under these circumstances which may yield short-term results but ensure long-term negative consequences. How do leaders create a sense of urgency without creating panic? It starts with leading by example. Psychometrics and behavioral science equip leaders to manage and lead change empowering employees to take on the challenge of transformation.

Never has trust been so hard to acquire yet so easy to lose. In association with Dr. Tommy Thomas - president of Opposite Strengths, Inc - we provide the tools and strategies for three dynamics of trust based on valid psychometrics and proven behavioral science. Trust between clients, trust among employees, and trust within oneself are absolutely essential for success. Through these two primary sources, Dr. Thomas and Dr. Long provide the blueprint for executives to get people on their side, move their organizations forward and consistently execute strategy. Participants acquire the skills needed to communicate with others effectively, spread confidence inside and outside the company, and align the organization. Three workshops are available:
• Relational Trust
• ​Social Trust
• ​Self Trust

Those who are the best at what they do have one thought that enters their mind: Can I do better? It is only when the best have reached the top that new possibilities arise. Elite Producers need additional, but elusive skills to make consistent excellence a reality. Applying a combination of group and individual instruction, the Elite Producers workshops leverage the inherent capital within participants. The interactive workshops draw on participants’ expertise to help create the curriculum and shape the workshops through a customized teaching method. No two workshops are alike because participants offer unique strengths and challenges coming from different industries, different experiences, different responsibilities. Participants feed off of each other, learning from the distinct differences and the unexpected commonalities.
