Speech and Workshop Topics |
Building Worker Loyalty: 22 Do's and Don'ts
|
In this era of corporate fluidity and worker mobility, how do you bring about innovation via people with whom you may not have worked before and with whom you may never work again? Company loyalty is dead, but how do you build loyalty to last through the duration of a group's working relationships?
|
|
Spirituality was becoming a new frontier in management before 9/11/01. Now there is no escaping the fact that leaders will have to deal with spirituality, even religion, in their quest for organizational effectiveness. Fortunately, they will find that spirituality is The source of motivation.

Empires of Emptiness: Where Are the Real Value Creators?
|
Energy companies that produce no energy, phone companies that have no phones or transmission facilities, CEOs who generate fictitious profits – One might think that all companies are hollow shells
and all leaders are dishonest and greedy. Yet a new wave of leaders are genuinely creating value. These "altrupreneurs" manage the seemingly impossible task of balancing people and profit issues.

From Success to Significance
|
|
Harnessing People's Dreams
|
Increasingly, the assets of a business are its employees' minds and their creative ability. That means people have to be truly committed and involved. Management's biggest challenge, therefore, is to capture hearts as well as minds and bodies.
|
Christian topics |
Christ-Centered Leaders – Blending faith and work
|
Can you be a faithful Christian and head up a business organization? In interviews with dozens of Christian CEOs and company owners in both giant and small firms, Pascarella has found that many embrace a Biblical worldview that permits them to blend
their faith and their work. The timeless principles by which they live create just the kind of organization that today's workers and customers are demanding.
|
The Misleading Ten Commandments of the Workplace
|
We have been taught
numerous myths that bar us from living our faith in the workplace. Among them: Thou shalt hang up thy beliefs at the plant gate; Thou shalt be cool and calculating; Thou shalt not be emotionally involved. These assumptions are not only wrong, today they are extremely counter-productive for both the individual and the organization.
|
Half-Day Workshop Topics
|
Christ-Centered Leadership
|
Leaders from one organization or across various organizations can work together to explore the challenge of being Christ-centered while engaging in the secular world. Discussion topics include: reuniting the
sacred and the secular, responding to a high calling, serving all the company's stakeholders, and loving God's children one by one.
|
The Ten Commandments of the Workplace— And how to break them every day
|
Love, Action, Words – That's the sequence for witnessing at work. Discussions center on how not to live by the many false commandments we are taught about keeping our faith separate from our work. A time for sharing concerns and hearing helpful suggestions.
|
A unique opportunity --- Engage Your Team in Deep Thinking and Open Sharing |
Monthly, quarterly, or as often as you like, Pascarella will distill the message of an important new book on leadership or issues relating to today's organization, interview the author, and meet with your key
managers to lead thought-provoking discussions. Recommended time: 2 hours – during or after working hours. On site or off site.
