Faster Together:
Accelerating Your Team's Collective Productivity
Even the best single person can't succeed alone. Neither can you. Individual productivity is just the beginning of business profitability; the real winner is team productivity. While sports teams may have stand-outs who pull the team's ranking upward — Peyton Manning and Lebron James come to mind — they couldn't do their jobs if everyone wasn't in there supporting them to the best of their abilities. When done well, the team wins championships.

Today's workplaces require people who can "team well." Yes, you have to use email and communicate and go to meetings. Yes, there will always be someone who works more slowly. Yes, you have to get agreement on some decisions. But a collective effort is much faster than an individual effort, in almost all instances. It takes less time to get things done with a team. This presentation will teach The Four "Keys" to Becoming a F-A-S-T Team:

• FAIRNESS: Proper under the rules; honest; just; straightforward.
• ACCOUNTABILITY: Responsible to someone or for some action; answerable; within one's power, control, or management.
• SYSTEMS-THINKING: One impacts the whole; interrelated linkages and interactions between components; a set of correlated people.
• TECHNOLOGY: Specific methods, materials, and devices used to exchange information; creation and use of technical means; use of knowledge to solve practical problems.

The Seven Daily Habits of Highly Profitable Salespeople
What separates an average salesperson from a high-performing salesperson? They spend more time on activities that produce sales and less time on those that don't. Simple concept? Yes, but difficult to implement in reality, because most traditional sales training doesn't focus on productivity, and "old school" time management techniques have little application for the salesperson. In this session, you'll learn "real world" methods to manage your schedule, tasks, devices, follow-ups, and email.

Doing the Right Things Right:
How the Effective Leader Spends Time
Leaders are so overwhelmed trying to balance the day-to-day operational responsibilities of their jobs, as well as find time to work with their teams and think about strategic initiatives, they struggle with time management and life balance. This keynote, based on Laura's book of the same title, identifies twelve practices that will enable leaders to be effective and efficient, grouped into three areas where leaders spend their time, called 3T Leadership: Strategic Thinking (Business), Teamwork (Employees), and Tactics (Self). For each practice, Stack offers advice from her 25 years in the trenches, working with thousands of leaders globally. You'll receive scores of new ideas on how you, your team, and your organization can boost productivity.
