Tim O’Connor speaks about commitment and accountability as positive forces
Using the positive attributes of commitment and accountability, participants in the Walk Your Talk workshop learn the tools, techniques and principles that improve follow-through, facilitate communication, increase morale and enhance execution that leads to growing your business.
While commitment and accountability have harsh reputations, in this workshop, you will experience the aspirational power that moves people and organizations toward their goals—and provides a process that inspires people to walk their talk and do what they say they will do.
Available as either half- or full-day workshops designed for senior executives and managers, Walk Your Talk workshops are customized to your organization, deliver post-workshop materials that accelerate the learning, and provide ongoing team and individual coaching that apply the principles and tools in the context of business realities.
We start the process of enhancing and growing your business with a complimentary consultation that allows me to discover the strengths and challenges of your organization, prepare a proposal, and then customize the workshop to the specific needs and aspirations of your business. The ideal workshop size is 15 – 20 participants; smaller class sizes are also available.
“I attended Tim O’Connor’s Walk Your Talk workshop. This was a great session for the group which led to some excellent discussions. The most impressive part of the day was how Tim facilitated an open environment to discuss our struggles in our roles and he was able to provide us with tools to help us be successful in our busy times. It was one of the first times the discussion revolved around our personal lives and the importance of taking care of our home life which will help us be successful in our work life. Tim provided the group with a fresh new outlook on success which was enlightening for most.”
