For many companies like yours, medical costs can consume half the corporate profits — or more! Studies show it costs employers an average of $1200 to $1500 MORE per year to insure each employee that is obese, has high blood pressure, high stress or smokes.

An organization is always a reflection of its leadership. So it makes sense to start at the top. This program is designed to empower you to maximize your energy — physically, emotionally and mentally. You will create an action plan to transform your fitness and energy, and then create an organizational plan to increase the energy and productivity of your staff.

The two sessions are designed to work together — in order to gain the full benefit of the program you must attend both sessions. The first session will primarily establish the context for creating breakthroughs in your health, energy and vitality, and will establish the priorities for you to master in the first month of your program. You will also be measured to establish a baseline for your body composition, complete a self-assessment tool and develop a personal plan. In the second session, you will be re-measured for your body composition and learn about the changes. You will be given training on how to implement specific strategies that will empower you for a lifetime! You will also develop an organizational plan for your staff.

Leadership is not dominance. It is the power gained when you take an unshakeable stand for something. All great athletes and business leaders have that power. That's why they are winners! They set the direction and the pace. Martina Navratalova said, “When you're a winner, you have to set standards for excellence wherever you go.”

The first day will feature a class in the morning and then a sailing lesson on San Francisco Bay. The following day consists of a class in the morning, then back out on the Bay, culminating in a race against time through a set course.

You will not recognize yourself when you leave this program and you will make lifelong friends of the other people who are there with you. Are you up for the challenge?

This difference in preferences of thinking, and therefore expressing, often causes problems in our understanding each other. People with different styles of thinking often say things that are perceived by the others as insensitive, disrespectful or boring. This can lead to a complete misunderstanding between two or more people.

CEOs often hire people who think like they do — a fatal mistake in moving a company forward. It is known as the comfortable clone syndrome. Everyone thinks alike, agrees on everything, but the company leaves out important areas of thinking. This can often prove detrimental or even threatening to the life of the company. The fact is that in order for a company to be successful, it needs all types of thinking, for it is that diversity that will bring about a clash of ideas from which innovation arises.

MorrisonMcNabb has worked with hundreds of people in companies to identify their styles of thinking. This gives the CEO or manager the luxury of putting together teams of people who bring to the table differing observations and ideas about a project — or putting his/her company's whole brain to work.

We put together individual and company profiles which we also use in team building and dispute resolution. Every company we have worked with that has used this process has discovered a wealth of talent that either had been overlooked or squashed by the domination of one group or another.

MorrisonMcNabb has designed a program for busy executives and entrepreneurs who don't have time to do everything and who are committed to mastering the chaos in their lives. Time for a Change is a one-day program that will transform your relationship to time and get you focused on what you need to do now. You will increase your productivity and decrease your stress.
