Leaders DO Make a Difference

An organization’s fate is determined by the quality of its leadership. Good leaders can take a faltering business and turn it into an innovative powerhouse. By the same token, mediocre leaders can run even world-class brands into the ground. We’ve seen enough examples of both scenarios to know they really happen yet many leaders don’t understand how to emulate the success stories and avoid the cautionary tales.

Based on the international best-selling book, Seven Disciplines of a Leader, this inspiring and fast-paced presentation, filled with concrete techniques, principles and take-home applications provides the disciplines and practices that every successful leader requires to bring out the best in people, teams and organizations.

Coaching Your Team to Victory

When leaders master the art of coaching, their direct reports become highly engaged, loyal to the organization, enthusiastic for the work they do and stay with the company. The program will identify and teach leaders to embrace coaching as a superior management tool, and learn the key skills of an effective coach which ultimately reduces turnover and improves productivity.

Change and Innovation: Leading in Today’s VUCA World

We are living in a VUCA world…volatile, uncertain, complex and ambiguous. In order for organizations to remain competitive leaders have to be flexible, adaptable and agile. They have to be responsible for driving change and innovation throughout the organization for current and future success.

It’s All About People

How do workplaces create an engaged workforce who do excellent work because they want to?

  • We provide a leadership development retreat for over 400 of our staff three times per year. Each event is more difficult to plan as we must find new information and new ways to energize and engage our staff. Jeff Wolf was the keynote speaker at our 14th event and he has raised the bar! Our supervisors and managers could not stop talking about the great day they had just experienced. Here are some of their comments. My office "team" talked about the whole thing for over an hour! We covered all aspects, and had a lot of good feedback and overwhelming enthusiasm for the day, topic, Jeff, and are thrilled for the next one" TIMELY, FUN, GREAT, AWESOME….just a few words from our department. One of our managers is speaking at a conference soon about the challenges of being a new manager. He said he took pages of notes from Mr. Wolf and even modified his own slides because he was able to take more than one "nugget" away with him!" Here it's two days later and this morning I was approached by a couple of the Leaders who couldn't stop talking about this event. Loved Jeff Wolf and very positive about his breakout sessions. We look forward to having him back soon.

  • I want to thank you for delivering the Consultative Approach to Business Development and Overcoming and Handling Objections workshops at Caremark's annual sales training conferences the past two years. The feedback from our sales team has been tremendous! The programs were informative, entertaining and the hands-on exercises made it easy to incorporate the information into our sales process. Sales people can be a tough audience, but you did a terrific job of motivating and educating them and the survey feedback validated that everyone came away with great ideas they can immediately take back and implement. Your ability to customize each workshop was a key to your success as you were able to use our terminology and real life examples which really resonated with the attendees. Lastly, you brought together a wealth of information and put it into a format that was easy to understand and follow. Jeff, thanks so much for the excellent programs you presented and we look forward to having you back for many more!

  • When Jeff accepted our invitation to do a leadership presentation for 120 postdoctoral researchers, he had no small feat before him. He was tasked with not only presenting an overview of the qualities of a great leader, but doing so to an audience of young scientists with minimal to no experience with leadership whatsoever. At this level of his own career, Jeff could have moved forward thinking he knew exactly what to say during his talk, yet he chose to spend a significant amount of time on the phone with me instead, learning about his audience and asking questions about what I wanted them to know. As a result, his presentation hit the proverbial nail on the head. That Jeff was willing to take the time to ask what I and my group needed, rather than make the assumption that he knew what was best for the audience made all the difference. I would work with Jeff again without hesitation, and our postdocs would welcome him back with enthusiasm.

  • From start to finish, working with Jeff Wolf was a great experience. Booking speakers for my association’s events has its challenges, as we have members at all stages of their careers, plus supplier members. Hiring a speaker who can captivate my diverse audience often proves difficult. This time, I hit the nail on the head by selecting Jeff’s carefully crafted leadership program for my event. Based on the evaluations, our attendees felt the program delivered state-of-the-art information and noteworthy leadership reminders. I always ask my presenters to provide a list of take-aways so attendees can immediately begin to use what they’ve learned, but some never follow through. In contrast, Jeff’s bullet-pointed action steps were outstanding! I would recommend Jeff to any group looking for an informative, energetic presenter—no matter the audience. Thanks, Jeff, for making me look like a rock star!

  • Thank you for your informative and entertaining presentation on the topic of "No More Jerks at Work". Our review of the evaluations revealed that our members thought your topic to be "excellent" and "great." I was pleased to learn that you received an average rating of 6.5 out of a possible 7.0. In fact, under the section where we asked if there were any changes they would recommend, we found comments like "none – he was fabulous" and "I wouldn’t, he was great!" "I personally enjoyed talking to you after the presentation and becoming more familiar with the work you do in your organization to help improve relations between supervisors and employees. I find what you do fascinating and necessary and I am happy to know a company such as yours exists.

  • Wow! I just can't thank you enough for your inspiring presentation on leadership and it's relationship to professional association membership. In this day and age of budget crises, companies are trimming their association membership budgets. Your message about the relationship between membership and leadership in the industry really resounded with our attendees. With so many travel industry professionals wondering what they can do to change the forecast for business travel, your presentation really stands out with real life examples of how stepping up can change your life, career and industry as a whole. From the perspective of an association president, I loved the fact that you took time to interview members of our Board of Directors to find out just exactly what we were looking for. And it doesn't end there. You actually took the information and tailored your message so that our group could get the maximum benefit from your years of experience. So often, I have sat through educational speakers who deliver the same presentation no matter what the group. Thanks so much for the custom information that targeted the specific needs of our members.

  • Jeff's presentation to our group was phenomenal! With over 200 people in attendance, all participants felt Jeff's presentation was right on the mark and exactly what we were looking for to rekindle energy within our companies. The healthcare industry faces huge challenges that drain our executives and workforce, so we were looking for a speaker that could help us regain our passion for our livelihood and put fun back into the workplace. Jeff set us in MOTION! Our participants took Jeff's words to heart and gave us feedback that they are putting some of his suggestions into practice, that he renewed their determination and confirmed many of the leadership ideals we already know, but forget. On behalf of the Healthcare Billing and Management Association, I wish to thank Jeff for his effort in putting together an excellent program - he was EXACTLY what we were looking for!

Your approach to Customer Satisfaction captivated the audience by engaging them to participate in the presentation and providing a refreshing delivery. Every attendee was all ears and taking notes during the entire presentation. Taping the presentation to share with everyone in the CAI chapter with the sponsors’ testimonials was a major success.

The information provided and your gregarious and informative style really clicked with our audience. Your presentation was right on point as it relates to providing principles and strategies that our members could “plug into” their business right away. Our members came away from your presentation with practical tips that they could actually use! Several members have already expressed how happy they were that they came today. Hopefully, many attendees will apply your principles right away and soon see positive results. Jeff, once again, thank you for your outstanding presentation. I hope to have the opportunity to recommend you soon.

  • Jeff did an outstanding job presenting "Effective Leadership" to 200 of Career Education's senior managers. What impressed me most was the fact that he took the time to interview several participants prior to the conference in order to better understand the company and our needs regarding effective leadership. That information allowed Jeff to customize his presentation for our group. Therefore, his examples were right on target and I continue to hear participants quote Jeff months after the conference. Thanks, Jeff, for a powerful presentation.

  • Jeff Wolf's keynote presentation on "Leadership, Profitability and Survival" was not only motivational, but insightful and imminently practical for the new challenges faced by today's business leaders. He motivated us not to forget that even with today's challenges people are still a company's number one competitive advantage. Jeff showed us how great leaders can attract great people who in turn create great companies. As I looked around the room I saw many business owners and executives furiously taking notes on his perceptive comments. One of our long time attendees stated we need to have more speakers just like Jeff at all of our future meetings. Jeff not only encouraged and inspired us, but he also showed the path--the path that leads to the next level today's leaders must take to overcome tomorrow's challenges. If your group includes business leaders and executives I would strongly encourage you to make the right choice and call Jeff Wolf today. You will not be disappointed!

  • Jeff Wolf is one of the best speakers I have seen in a very long time. As a speaker myself, I am more critical of other speakers and truly Jeff is one of the top 5 I have ever had the privilege of seeing in action. If you are looking for a speaker to educate and entertain without Power Point and leave your audience laughing and learning, Jeff Wolf is your best choice. I say this with complete candor and total endorsement. You can't go wrong with Jeff Wolf. He delivers.

  • I first met Jeff when he spoke before a network group on time management. It was a most impressive presentation and opened my eyes to ways I could work more effectively. I became further involved with Jeff when he formed his consultant group and I was asked to join his team, He is a dynamic individual and an inspirational leader. It is especially impressive the way he has built and managed a consulting network business in both Chicago and San Diego.
