Taking the responsibility of leading a group of people is a huge responsibility and no easy task. If you’ve ever asked yourself what it takes to become a leader, just look at activist Martin Luther King Jr., or American President Franklin Roosevelt.

There are many ways to lead a group of people and since there is no set definition of leadership it can be defined in many ways. My question for you today is what if we could break the workforce hierarchy and allow all employees to lead out in their companies? What if that entry level employee had the same opportunity to lead out just as much as the Director or CEO? With Polished Consulting, we are strongly working to make this a reality for our clients.

We plan to accomplish this in five steps. The first step is to encourage employees to dig deep to see if they have a desire to lead out. No matter their job title, give them a chance!

The next step is to make your passion, purpose and organizational goals work together at work. Essentially, the key is to see if your personal and professional goals align with your job's mission statement and purpose. Once aligned, it can cause collective success for your organization.

The third step is to craft a career plan that actually works. Really think and write down goals that you’d like to achieve at your job that match your professional goals.

In essence, the fourth step is to lead with a servant mindset. Before you can lead, you have to follow. By engaging with your team and encouraging collaboration, this method can increase your company’s productivity and enable your employees to relate to their coworkers and managers.

And lastly, learn to use your words tactfully to influence your employees to not only listen but follow your lead! Knowing how to articulate your goals and put them in action is very important. If you keep this track record up to par, your employees will gain your trust and your company’s productivity will noticeably increase.

In summary, becoming a leader is not easy but it will definitely catalyze any businesses growth! By following these steps, we here at Polished Consulting will break the typical stigma associated with leaders and leadership. We hope you choose to book our keynote speaker to learn in more detail the methods we use to help organizations excel.

Welcome to our keynote that is designed for executives like you. This talk will take you through practical methods to increase your leadership abilities both big and small. Take notes and be sure to follow along!

First, know your vision. In leadership, knowing your vision is necessary but using it to benefit a work team is even more effective. So using your words and writing down a game plan is key for your vision to become a reality.

Secondly, know how to use your influence. Do your research and learn how to use social media to your advantage. Knowing how to interact with influencers while networking with public figures can get your organization the attention it needs. Remember a good marketing and PR team will always take you to the next level.

Third, learn how to make quick yet strategic decisions. When you use your critical thinking skills, you’ll be able to deal with complex situations whether for positive or negative results. Overall, being able to make strategic decisions will help you handle issues and accept opportunities that will benefit your company.

Fourth, challenges are a part of life. Thus, we want you to know how to adapt when thrown a curveball. When you take on a challenge headfirst, you’ll have to have a team backing you up with a “We-will-weather-the-storm” mindset. As humans, we do not like change but change is always necessary for success and a new beginning.The fifth point is to build a team worth fighting for. How do you do this? Well, encourage collaboration and hire more workers with diverse backgrounds. Also make sure you are allowing your employees to use their creativity to come up with new ideas for their projects.

The sixth point is I’d like to emphasize leading with honesty. Once you master articulating your vision, start to stand for its truth. This builds your trust amongst your employees and creates a safe environment for growth both personally and professionally.

Lastly, I’d like to end by saying your business has to have a growth mindset. Change is inevitable, but it’s up to us to use it for the positive or negative. You can accomplish this by keeping up with your industry’s trends while allowing your employees to continuously learn new things.

If you follow these steps, you will be able to excel as a leader at your company and provide a lasting positive impact on your employees. This is the time to book our keynote and use us to transform your company from the bottom on up!

Non-profit organizations can profit greatly from Polished Consulting LLC because of our efficient methods to get things done. This keynote will share how certain methods are accomplished in the nonprofit industry.

The first method is to use what you have. Learn to look at your needs for your organization and see what may have fallen through the cracks. Being able to accomplish the mission of the nonprofit is also essential.

Next, you also may like to increase the nonprofits productivity. There are several ways to do this but start by analyzing workflows and identifying what doesn’t work for the organization. That way your services will look more appealing to customers.

I want you to know that making good, conscious decisions for your business is very important. You have to be able to look at data and tell if it’s worth using or not for your company. These decisions are integral in making productive choices for the growth and advancement of your business.

Now teamwork makes the dream work and two is always better than one. With the nonprofit industry, having shared goals is strategically necessary along with building strong alliances with other businesses.

Communication is always key to success in any business. By knowing how to use your words, you will be able to inspire support from your fellow colleagues.

The next thing that I’d like to elaborate on is enabling improvement in your work environment. Feeling accomplished is always the goal and making a plan is always key to success.

Next, before we conclude please remember that measuring and reporting your businesses growth and analytics is essential for extensive growth. Different methods can be used to track it.

So I hope you see the power behind your non-profit organization. If you’re interested in learning more on maximizing your business and/or learning how to create lasting results, book our keynote today to see where Polished Consulting LLC will take you and your organization.
