USE CIVILITY TO DRIVE PROFITABILITY AND END TOXIC CULTURES

The top issue on the minds of C-Suite Execs? Attraction and retention of top talent. The problem? Workplace incivility.
Harvard Business Review found that 99% of workers reported that they experienced incivility in the workplace! The cost of incivility on corporate bottom lines is staggering and the younger workers will quickly leave an organization whose values and behaviors don’t match their own.

By introducing a seemingly “small” concept – civility – organizations can turn the tide. This talk focuses on the impact of toxic cultures, why we are reticent to take on culture, why it’s critical that we focus on increasing the cultural health of our organizations, and specific things that anyone can do – today – to create a positive impact on their cultures.

REDEFINING LEADERSHIP IN THE AGE OF DISRUPTION

In the late 2010’s we knew the pace of change was speeding up. Then came COVID and working from home – the shakeup for which no organization was prepared! As we continue in the new world of change and disruption, how can we adapt more quickly to what feels like the ever-changing needs of our organization?
Organizations are challenged to redefine the roles of leaders, which is hard since the way we’ve done things in the past used to work. But we’re finding out that 21st Century Leadership is VERY different from the last.
In this talk we explore how to connect the mission of your organization to what your people care about. Janine helps them discover how to identify what “meaningful work” means to them…and how to find that every day in what they already do! We delve into “workplace” – when many are working from somewhere that’s not the office.
Participants leave with hands-on tools to explore (and implement) change for their most urgent needs…and the needs after that…and the next one!

Culture, Hiring & Retention: BEYOND NAPPING PODS: CREATE A HEALTHY CULTURE THAT DRIVES RESULTS

Every company has a culture. It may be expressed in the feelings, tones, moods, and attitudes of your people. Or in the assumptions, values, traditions, artifacts, and ethical understandings/ practices of the organization.

More than salaries, benefits, or perks, the employees of today care about working for an organization that shares their values. In an age of statistical “full-employment,” creating these cultures is the key to the #1 issue on the minds of C-Suite executives: hiring and retention of top talent.

The question is: Do your people understand your culture, and can your leaders leverage your culture to achieve your goals?

This talk focuses on creating a culture that yields a sustainable competitive advantage by aligning your values with the way your company operates, and the way your teams behave, to achieve outstanding results.

Employee Engagement: WHY THE CUSTOMER MUST COME SECOND

It’s common sense: Take care of your staff, and your staff will take care of your customers. But most companies fail to recognize the impact of employee morale on the customer experience…at our own peril. The majority of America’s workforce is actively disengaged – at a cost of $450 billion annually! This talk focuses on both easy and more advanced strategies to create workplaces where employees go above and beyond – because they want to. From work environments where people feel valued to addressing apathy on your staff, this talk is full of tools to convert employees into brand ambassadors.

Testimonials (1)

We really appreciated working with Janine and benefitted immensely from her great presentation. Our group enjoyed not only the messages about Emotional Intelligence and Civility in the Work Place, but also Janine's presentation style. In a short period of time, Janine provided our team with an understanding of emotional intelligence and why it really matters in business, along with as the tool sets and strategies needed to enable us to enhance and develop our skills. For all organizations, the ability to communicate effectively - both internally and externally - is key to success. Janine was instrumental in giving us some new language to use with each other to increase our effectiveness in team communication. We look forward to working with Janine again soon.
