"A great ability to relate to our
people in terms they can understand. His message that we, not
someone else, control virtually all the choices we make every day is
one that motivates and gives confidence to us all."
Dave Brown, C.E.O. Owens-Corning Corporation
Whether its white collar or blue collar,
management or frontline workers, the pressure on the workforce is
greater than ever.
"I have heard nothing but rave reviews
from all who attended."
Linda
Manley RN, EMS Coordinator, Children's Hospital, Columbus, Ohio
People who work in the helping
professions are often those who do not receive the support they need
to continue on in their work.
"Thank you so much for giving us what
everybody needs - courage to do what is good and right. With
gratitude."
The Montessori School staff, Wilton CT
I doubt if there is a more important
group for the future of our country and our children than people who
work in education. I also doubt if there is a more maligned group.
If you're looking for a speaker to give a great kick-off to your conference or to
wrap it up on a high note, give Scott a look.
A lot of humor, a good dose of inspiration, and real information the
participants can use when they leave the conference
Making the Workplace...Work! for everyone
Are you looking for a motivational speaker who is
not only humorous but gives your people something they can actually
use?
Are you tired of
these old clichés?
"Are you stressed
out?"
"Just stay positive!"
"You have to believe in you!"
What about those "motivational speakers" who force their
cheeriness down your throat?
"Let's
all give each other a big hug before we start!"
And when you hear the phrase"stress seminar" or
"stress presentation"
do you think...
"Here we go again with more of the same stuff!" "Stress is part of life. Blah,
Blah..."
"The only people who don't have stress are dead people. Blah,
Blah..."
"Let's take a paper and pencil stress test and find out how messed up we are.
Blah, Blah..."
What does Dr. Scott Sheperd think about
stress seminars?
"Stress seminars oftentimes, inadvertently,
reinforce the idea that events are in charge of us, instead of
the other way around. And that is not helpful to
employees"
"Paper and pencil stress tests are stupid because events
don't contain stress."
"Stress is not "out there" in life. Situations
are "out there" in life."
"And
by the way, the holidays aren't stressful. Just because
you're screwed up, don't blame Christmas."
Dr. Scott Sheperd
can help your people...
Move from being emotional
victims to emotional powerhouses by challenging the
way they think.
Understand very
specifically the relationship between what they think
and what they feel and do and how they can change
thinking that is getting in their way.
See they have choices in
both their feelings and their behaviors on how they
respond to unpleasant situations.
