Reggie Rivers delivers a presentation that is full of interesting, entertaining, insightful and powerful analogies that allow business professionals to see their challenges in a whole new light.
Here is a sneak peek at what you'll learn:
Forward Progress is Success: Even the greatest running backs in the NFL get tackled 95% of the time. They score touchdowns only 5% of the time. When they get the football in their hands, they focus on what they’re going to accomplish "before" they get tackled. In business, we must be focused on forward progress.
You must build trust: Rookies can't get on the field until they've proven that they can be trusted. Veterans can't stay on the field unless they continually prove that they are trustworthy. Players learn to demonstrate that they can be trusted. These "demonstrations” work just as effectively in the business world as they do on the football field.
If you're not listening "actively" you're not listening at all: Despite 75,000 screaming fans, NFL players need to accurately hear the quarterback say "Red right trip slot disco X post Z waggle H & Y switch on 2." In business, we need to listen “actively" to our customers, our vendors, our regulators, our competitors, our superiors, and our co-workers.
