People don’t always remember what you say or do, they remember how you make them feel. The future of every organization pivots on the ability of its leaders and employees to innovate and connect with demanding, diverse constituencies. Organizations that will survive and thrive in the 21st Century understand that conflict is an essential component of collaboration and success. A healthy workplace is interactively linked with its environment, challenges the status quo and elevates ordinary interactions into meaningful connections. This cannot happen if leadership fails to capitalize on valuable talent or tolerates toxic employees. Now, more than ever, leaders need to keep their WITS about them. WITS is an acronym that refers to a new type of workplace citizen whose strengths and interests are ideally suited to removing boundaries and helping others thrive in a bigger space. These change leaders are wise, innovative, thoughtful, and spunky (WITS). Learn how to identify and nurture the WITS in your workplace to enhance your workplace culture.

Most people have never been told how big the connection is between stress, motivation and self-talk. What you tell yourself over and over can help you or hinder you; it either triggers stress or encourages positive action. How you react to stress sets your mood: it can make you tired or energetic; turns the tap for stagnation or creativity and prompts inaction or action. When a change or demand confronts us and we deny it or do nothing – we have stress that damages. But when we respond to a change or demand by accepting our current reality and by taking purposeful action, we have stress that motivates. We are talking to ourselves all the time, so why not make all our self-talk – our mental background music – encouraging, enjoyable and effective?
Experience the power of spirit and attitude. Learn the secrets to training ourselves on how to take action consistently with positive and purposeful self-talk. This workshop will show the powerful link between stress, motivation and self-talk. It will teach you how to use new tools for self- protection and self-motivation in stressful situations, expose the five biggest traps in self-talk and give you a ready-to-use reinforcement system that to help you decrease the amount of stress in your life and increase personal motivation.

André Bello is a storyteller who transforms technical details into simple lessons that can help you move quickly from theory to execution. His passion for uncomplicated narratives inspired his negotiation tale titled The Sword & the Spirit - a fable written to teach the skills he learned at the Program on Negotiation (PON) at Harvard Law School. Professor Lawrence Susskind of the PON said, "The Sword & the Spirit illustrates more clearly what we mean by a 'mutual-gains approach to negotiation' than one hundred repetitions of the theory could accomplish on its own." André's follow up book, Give more, Get more! Negotiate Your Way to a Richer Life, draws more deeply on personal stories from his experience as a medical representative, an advertising director and as an executive manager in the Financial Services Industry. These experiences, blended with André's unique storytelling style, are the backbone of his wildly popular seminars and workshops communicated to companies and public audiences around the world.
