For Immediate Release

How is it that some leaders trigger a hopeful, “Can Do” determination, while others leave people flat, disinterested, or even turned off?

The answer to this question will make all the difference in your ability to keep morale and productivity up during these challenging times.

David Lee, the founder of HumanNature@Work, will address this question during his November 12 presentation at the Lepage Conference Center located at 99 Campus Avenue on the St. Mary’s Campus in Lewiston. The program will run from 9 am to 12 pm and costs $79 per person if registered before October 29th. This St. Mary’s sponsored program is open to the general public.

Lee’s program will also help you become even more effective at: 

• Keeping people’s spirits up in these difficult times.
• Keeping people focused on doing their jobs well and making a contribution, rather than on their 401k or the uncertain future.
• Rallying people around the company’s vision, so they feel and act like small business owners-with that “Whatever it takes to get the job done, I’m doing it” attitude.
• Fostering a “Warrior’s Spirit”-the term used by Southwest Airlines-in your people so they have a “Bring it on!” attitude when faced with challenge.
• Reducing negativity and fear.
• Being able to deliver difficult news-like Bret and Paul-in a way that leaves people determined vs. depressed.
• Overcome other’s limiting beliefs – i.e. “That’s not possible”, “I could never do that”, “That’ll never work” — without resorting to browbeating or other combative approaches.
• Becoming a more inspiring communicator-whether one on one or in a group.
• Knowing how to stimulate greater interest and involvement in team or company-wide meetings.

David Lee is an internationally recognized thought leader on employee engagement. He has worked with organizations and presented at conferences throughout North America and abroad. He is the author of Managing Employee Stress and Safety as well over sixty articles on optimizing employee performance that have been published in trade journals and books in the US, Europe, Asia, and Australia.
