Consistently attracting and capturing top game-changing talent – aka, the “difference makers” — for your business is a critical life skill for business owners and senior executives to master for sustainable company growth and business success. Difference makers are game-changing impact players and include key executive talent and much needed technical employee utility players that great businesses and teams are built upon. Unfortunately, knowing that you need and want employee “difference makers” does not make them magically appear, nor help you retain them.

Magic happens when you pair consistent excellence with unexpected delight. Some companies have figured out how to make this the normal experience for their customers. This workshop will teach you a system so you can make this your “normal” too. This goes beyond a marketing message or a script for phone reps. I will teach you exactly how great organizations, such as Chick-fil-A and Disney Theme Parks, actually operate their businesses. This workshop includes specific methods and practical tools. It’s a how-to workshop, not a you-should workshop. If you are ready to have highly-engaged employees, generate more sales, and build a community of brand ambassadors who can’t stop talking about you, you need to build a Raving Fans Engine.

Scalability is not about resources, it’s about a mindset. An adaptability mindset. Organizations are complex organic living systems that can adapt and grow. Developing and sustaining adaptive capacity in organizations is the main job of a leader preparing to scale. Eric Kish was on the front lines of developing adaptive capacity, continuously experimenting with methods to create scalable organizations. Intent Driven Management™ is a methodology to build and sustain scalability in any organization. It is based on a leadership philosophy inspired from a 200 years old military leadership style, practiced with great success by the IDF.

The Asking Formula is a one-of-a-kind program that teaches leaders and sales professionals how to more effectively ask for what they want through a simple and accessible six-step process that can be practiced, repeated and mastered. As a result of learning this methodology, people will ask with more confidence, more influence and with more self-assurance and they will get the outcomes they desire. Using The Asking Formula creates a culture that empowers people to get things done. Its simplicity drives clear and consistent communications that gain alignment from all departments including C-suite, sales, marketing, project management, operations, etc. It allows for leaders to communicate with a purpose that generates buy-in and action. Sales professionals use The Asking Formula to proactively move a deal through the sales progression shortening sales cycles and accelerating growth. During the workshop we analyze how professionals detract from their effectiveness by practicing bad asking behaviors and we eliminate these habits from daily habit.
