LET'S MAKE A PLAN

DEVELOPING A WINNING MINDSET

How you think determines your level of success. This presentation taken from Daryl's book will inspire participants and help them gain deep insight into changing their mindset and improving performance. Most companies and schools follow this formula: if you work harder, you will be more successful, and then you will be happy. This formula is scientifically backward. A decade of research shows that training your brain to be positive at work first actually fuels greater success second. In fact, 75% of our job success is predicted not by intelligence, but by your optimism, social support network and the ability to manage energy and stress in a positive way. Daryl explains what positive psychology is, how much we can change, and practical applications for reaping the WInning Mindset. You will learn:

• How to create a Winning Outcome no matter what the situation.

• How to overome challenges, cope with stress, eleminate anxiety

• Overall persoanl transformation

• New skills for productivity 

• Establish team dynamics that foster creative thinking and risk taking

• 5 proven steps of mental transformation

THE MUSIC OF BUSINESS: TRANSLATING IMPROVISATIONAL THINKING FROM THE STAGE TO THE BUSINESS WORLD.

Be prepared to be amazed. Daryl Black, a jazz and classical pianist since age 9, credits a musical background for giving him a different way of looking at business.  In this stunning interactive presentation, a live musical performance by Daryl and his band is woven with stimulating dialogue.  You’ll actually hear, through their music, fresh ways to unleash your organization’s creative mojo.  In jazz, 99% of the notes are improvised; created in real-time.  Yet it’s the structure of a jazz combo – not the inherent talent of individual musicians – that allows for such breathtaking creative expression.  In today’s business landscape of dizzying speed, exponential complexity, and ruthless competition, we can no longer just play the notes on the written page.  You will learn powerful lessons inspired by jazz musicians (a/k/a “real-time innovators”) to help you:

• Develop your own ability to improvise, no matter what job title you hold

• Establish team dynamics that foster creative thinking and risk taking

• Uncover fresh approaches to previously unchallenged assumptions

• Break free from traditional thinking and uncover vast new possibilities

• Learn 5 secret techniques used by jazz musicians to foster creativity, which can easily be adapted to your own organization

• Expand your ability to deal with ambiguity and recover from setbacks

THE TRUTH ABOUT SUCCESS: What the Top 1% Do Differently and Why They Won't Tell You

Daryl reveals what makes owners and managers of top-performing businesses so effective – and it's not what you'd expect! If you enter this keynote session expecting to learn all about best practices and superior products, you'd better read the title again. Standout success in a difficult economy often comes from personal advantage – whether it's cosmetic, leadership communication, personality, resources or access to privileged information.

Top performers rarely acknowledge this because it tends to make their success sound less impressive or undeserved. Prepare to laugh and learn as Daryl leads program segments that include:

• Lies about success – and why we believe them

• From interview to confession: The research

• Why would anybody want to be in a fair fight?

• Create your own advantage in leadership and business development

• The Truth About Success

•  Being the best vs. being consistently chosen

• Action and adaptability create opportunity

• Establish a repeatable process for success
