STOP COMPLAINING! START GROWING! (CAN INCLUDE A BOOK-SIGNING)

People complain too much. It’s that simple. But it doesn’t have to be this way! �e most successful leaders in history all have a few characteristics in common — one of these is that instead of com-plaining about the way things are, they concen-trated on how to make things the way they wanted them to be. If we can �nd a way to stop complain-ing, we begin to grow. When we grow, we get more motivated. When we get motivated, we are more productive.

�is presentation reviews tactics that will help us to stop complaining and re-task our e�orts to achieve our goals and to exceed our own expecta-tions.

BE BRILLIANT!

Smart people achieve more. And it’s not just “book-smarts.” Imagine if your college courses and business school curriculum actually taught you what you really need to be great at to be suc-cessful. �is presentation does just that. From becoming a master networker to the nuances of taking smart risks, acclaimed speaker Sean Mc-Donald discusses proven tactics that professionals can take right now to “get smarter.”

BELIEVE TO ACHIEVE: THE ART OF ORGANIZATIONAL & PERSONAL SUCCESS

“Whether you think you can or think you can’t, you’re right.” Henry Ford was on to some-thing when he said that. All success starts with an unyielding BELIEF that your goals are attainable. Like any talent, attaining the highest levels of con-�dence takes practice. It takes extraordinary e�ort. It takes guts. And yes, it takes getting knocked down occasionally. Participants can expect to walk away from this presentation with an arsenal of action steps that will help them to build con-�dence....the kind of con�dence that sticks.....the kind of con�dence that leads to success!
