Miss this breakfast and you're doomed to a millennium just like the last one ... only this one is going to be a helluva lot longer! That's the warning from NZ's only business humanist and maverick, Bill Potter who'll deliver an Hour of Power that will give you new insights into yourself as a human 'bean' and at the way you operate your damn business. Bill has long championed 'the calibre of the people and their quality of thinking' as the only business 'sustainable edge of advantage'. Nothing else matters that much. And how much attention do most business enterprises pay to that? Close to zilch, actually. We'll change that! This breakfast will be busy, funny and interactive. Bill warns tired people not to attend. Especially if you're suffering from 'Olde Fartitus' (the dreaded 'attitude ailment'). Bill Potter is a recognised motivator, innovator, facilitator, creator and agitator. He benchmarks the unconventional perspective of 'dynamic business delivery through innovative people performance'. He’s the founding Director of The Duit Group™, a resource for human business values and innovation strategy. In his powerful, interactive presentations, in some 40 countries around the world, Bill has inspired people to 'laugh as they learn', to 'chuckle as they change' and to 'cheer as they achieve'. This represents his ‘personal affirmation of purpose’. So book your place at this breakfast now. Just Duit Dammit! What Members Had to Say ... Bill Potter is a walking talking testament to the philosophies he shares. An advocate of enjoying yourself in your chosen vocation, Bill believes that if you don’t love what you do, then you shouldn’t be doing it. Bill obviously enjoys sharing his message and his enthusiasm is infectious. Having a Laugh While Making a Dollar entails bringing a sense of enjoyment back to the workplace, and hinges upon the realisation that your people and the way they think create your sole sustainable edge of advantage. Bill shares his thoughts on encouraging your people. The essence of success? A Willing Heart, an Open Mind, and a Fierce Determination. Reach your people at an emotional level, believe in things until you have a reason not to, and be prepared to work at it: · Teach your people to love ‘Monkeys’ – help your people to develop the initiative to deal with their own problems. · Tell your people that ‘Gold’ isn’t sinful – not to be afraid to lead from the front, to be winners. · Remind your people that ‘Having a Go’ is worth it – the critical difference between knowing what to do and actually doing it. Action is the key. · Reassure your people that ‘Thinking’ is power – just because things have always taken place a certain way doesn’t mean there isn’t a better way. · Confess to your people that ‘Different’ is leadership – the ‘same’ cannot be movement. Adopt a ‘pick me’ attitude. Of course, you could always have the ‘Old Fartitis Disease’ and not change a damn thing!! But remember this well known quote from Frenchman Marcel Prout, ‘The real voyage of discovery lies not in seeking new landscapes, but having new eyes’. Bill’s message is clear. Embrace and encourage the individuals that form your organisation. Ultimately, your success is a by-product of their own. - June Payne, Area Manager, Telecom Directories | |
