THE DANGEROUS DRIFT: The importance of staying connected to the higher calling of your work

The daily pressures to meet performance metrics and goals often pull us away from the high-ideals and high-calling of our work. It transforms the way we view our ourselves, our goals, our mission, and even how we view the people we lead or serve. This “dangerous drift” has helped to destroy some of history’s greatest leaders, teams and organizations and is often hard to spot until it's too late.

This talk Bruce shares the importance of staying connected to the higher purpose of your work, how losing that connection can have a devastating impact on your team and company, how to spot when it’s happening, and what to do to break free from its grasp.

A HELPING HAND: Leadership in action and 10-things you should know about every person you lead

Understanding the power of your daily interactions with those you lead, the 10 universal underlying motivators driving them, and how to build a culture of high expectations are essential skills for leadership success.

Using the true story of a brief, personal interaction with the great University of Maryland football coach Bobby Ross, Bruce describes how coach Ross’s kindness, intent and message taught him more about leadership and culture building than Bruce had learned to that point in his entire life. It was leadership in action and demonstrated how great leaders establish trust, faith and loyalty within the teams and organizations they lead.

This is a powerful talk for leaders looking to understand and deepen the connection they share with the people they lead.

THE SHAPE OF SUCCESS: The five levels of commitment and the truth about outcomes

Does any of this sound familiar?

You are committed to your work, but still can’t seem to produce the results you want or need.

You read books about and pursue work-life balance, but still just can’t get the right balance that leads to the success you want?

You are stuck going between “out of the park” success and just meeting your goals.

In this talk Bruce shares the very real and sometimes stark and contrarian truth about the level of commitment it takes to achieve big things and the sacrifices we must sometimes make along the way. With plenty of examples and using a unique behavioral model and visual system, he helps the audience understand and identify their true level of commitment and what it means to get to the next level.

JUMP: The courage to chase your passion, change careers and how to do it.

If you feel unfulfilled by your work or that you were meant for bigger and better things, it is easy to fantasize about changing careers or pursuing a passion. And that is where it usually stops as most of us don't have either the capacity or courage or the resources to make a drastic career jump.

In this talk Bruce goes past the fantasy and describes what can happen when you do decide to make the jump. It is an honest, powerful talk about truth, change, courage and what it truly means to take your life in a different direction. Bruce covers questions to ask yourself before you make a change, simple steps for making this type of change, and setting realistic expectations around the implications of this decision for every aspect of your life.
