How Attitude Effects Altitude

Hiking one of Colorado’s Fourteeners or backpacking on a multi-day trip is a grueling step- by -step process with direct application to creating success in your life and in business. This fun and practical workshop will show the compound effect of how small steps can get you to the top of a mountain, or on the top in business. Life is a journey, often consisting of small and seemingly inconsequential steps.

Success seldom happens; it takes perseverance, preparation, planning and commitment. In the backwoods, lack of perseverance, preparation and planning can make the difference between life and death. One wrong step can literally mean death. Not being physically prepared can leave you stranded on the mountain and totally lost. The same concepts are true for our businesses and careers.

You might not backpack or hike, yet you must get out of your comfort zone on a daily basis to be successful. So define success for you, pack your bag and join me on a journey to the mountains of success. It will be tiring, fun, frustrating, exhilarating, grueling and yet wonderful – all at the same time. A journey you won’t want to miss.

Workshop Results and Take Aways:

• There is always another hill to climb in backpacking and in our careers. The challenge is being prepared for what the next hill will bring, knowing when to rest and when to charge the mountain.
• Going down is harder than going up; yet, no one stays at the top in business or a mountain without planning and preparation. The art is knowing what to plan for and how to approach the mountain, so you win and not the mountain.
• Don’t carry what you don’t need. There is nothing worse than completing a backpacking trip only to find out you have carried weight you didn’t need. The same is true in business. The sooner we learn what to leave behind the faster we will rise to the top.

Employees, Teams and Hiring:  OH MY!

Every manager has experienced the need to fire an employee and every business owner has experienced the need to fire a vendor. Yet so often we don’t follow through on the evidence provided, nor the instinct that tells us that this person can only bring a caustic relationship to our business. We allow the tension to continue to build, often causing our profits to erode and productivity to be impacted. When is enough, enough? When should you fire that customer and how do you accomplish the task – professionally?

Making it happen requires the four “M’s”

• Mindset
• Mirror
• Measurement
• Movement

This is a fun interactive, story filled and practical approach to determining when enough is enough.
