Laser Focus

We are proud and excited to be a part of, as well as a presenter, at the upcoming National Association of Realtors annual conference in beautiful Quebec City, Quebec. The Conference Committee has designed a spectacular program related to professional development and key industry issues and trends. The Association emulates InitiativeOne’s mantra… “Lifelong learning is a critical element to continued success”.

Our theme for the conference and 2010 is Laser Focus! We've had the privilege to work with many organizations this first quarter and laser focus is a key to success! Our clients have realized passion and commitment are not enough to succeed and with focus, the path to effective decision making is crystal clear. Focusing on timeless leadership skills creates renewed FOCUS and has accelerated the activity and results in these organizations.

Remember the "Decision Frame"? (How are you making your decisions? Based on your Vision and Values or based on others' agendas?) Remember the "Pareto Principle"? (Are you working on the very important 1 and 2 activities or are you wallowing in 8, 9, and 10 activities?) Remember "It is not about your Mama"!

Assess your company, assess your team members, and assess yourself. Get back on track quickly and effectively with a brief conversation with Dr. Fred! Call or email questions and concerns. Short term we can offer some verbal advice to get your team back on track!
Reach Dr. Fred at 602-374-8990 or info@initiative-one.com.
