Visionary leaders often can’t understand why their message
isn’t catching on with their team and why mediocre performance
is so acceptable. Jennifer unlocks the secrets of what you can
expect with what you have and what you are doing, and how to achieve
results in keeping with your higher expectations, fast! This is
a bottom line, no nonsense approach to performance improvement
that has its funny moments as does any endeavor dealing with people
and why they do what they do for leaders and people who want to
lead in all facets of business.
The answer to “how can I get them to SEE it and then DO
it?” is one presentation away. All presentations are customized
to the specific objectives of the client group. A self-described
golf addict, she has also figured out how to incorporate golf
into any presentation or activities in case you are looking for
a good excuse to include golf in your event.
Programs:
Jennifer has worked with hundreds of corporate clients since
1981, improving performance in the workplace. A cornerstone of
solving performance problems was the development through profiles
of the essential success traits required for optimal performance
in sales, leadership and management, and in virtually every other
task as well. Her clients are found in all industries, including
finance and investment, money management, banking, insurance,
manufacturing, retail, communications, technology, hospitality,
commercial real estate and resort development and operations,
construction, publishing, advertising, fashion, automotive, competitive
sports, medical and aerospace. Her performance strategies have
been directed at sales, information technologies, operations,
marketing, organizational development, strategic planning, teambuilding,
goal setting, conflict resolution, hiring and merging corporate
cultures.
Jennifer’s firm takes a contrarian approach to traditional
themes perpetuated by the human resources industry and applies
approaches that are compatible with Peter Drucker’s theme
that productivity is the true measure of performance; that morale,
loyalty and trust are by products of running productive and successful
companies, not ends unto themselves. She concentrates on applications
that change the company culture from entitlement environments
to energetic, accountable and high performing environments.

Bio:
Jennifer took up golf in 1994 and realized that the traits that
determined good business performance also impacted performance
and satisfaction on the golf course. Jennifer was passionate about
golf from the beginning and was fascinated about two well known
statistics in the industry. First, that the number of golfers
remains about the same year in and year out, approximately 26
million. Second, that average handicaps do not decline. From her
research, she noted that the overwhelming reason people give up
on golf is that they do not get better even with significant investment
in equipment, instruction and time. She wrote the Golf Mind Rx™
profile initially for amateurs to help them enjoy their game more
which lead to her work with Golf Digest Schools helping instructors
to identify the different learning strategies of clients and designing
corporate programs for sales and leadership groups. As a result,
the Golf Mind Rx™ profile has also become a valuable asset
to touring professionals, as well as amateurs, and coaches who
work with America's promising high school and college golfers.
Jennifer is a native of Miami, Florida and a graduate of the University
of Florida. Her B.A. degree is in Philosophy. She resides in Palm
Beach Gardens, Florida at PGA National Resort.
What
they say about her:
"Our session with you went great. Everyone was very
excited about their golf and business profile. They found it very
beneficial to see how their profiles compared to others on their
team, and to their clients. I think our session with you was very
beneficial in helping to pull the team together and to encourage
them to be aware of their communication AND golfing styles. In
the days and weeks following our session you could see improvement
in the communication levels of the attendees."

I believe in Jennifer Munro's approach to the mental and
emotional side of golf so much that I encourage all the PGA Tour
professionals I work with to take the profile test and to work
with Jennifer's analysis to improve their response to the pressures
and stress of tournament golf. It has produced great results.
I never bought into the "one size fits all" approach
that is currently peddled such as "relax, visualize, pre-shot
routine, etc.". They can help some, but I believe actually
harm others who try them. The approach to handling the intense
pressure of tournament golf must be tailored to the individual's
personality. With out understanding the personality factor, any
suggestions on how to handle stress is like throwing a dart at
the wall.
