We all benefit from some additional motivation, information and working more effectively as a team. At McK the motivation comes through information, illustration and humor. This combination makes the moments meaningful and entertaining for your group or corporation.

Here's just a sample of our topics that can be a speech, seminar or workshop - depending on the format of your event.

Most of our speakers have been presenting to audiences for 10 - 25 years. We're effective because we enjoy being with people. That's also why we're fun as well as informative!

Welcome To The Team!

We all soon realize that we are on a team - usually many teams. Wherever we must work together - we have a team. It might be your co-workers who are your team at work. Perhaps you help with a religious or community organization - you're on that team. Our family involves being part of a team. Everywhere you go - you soon learn you're on a team - many teams - and most of them do not wear uniforms. Like it or not - we usually do not get to choose who is on that team. How do you work with the teams in your life? How can you help to build a healthy and productive team? What can you do to be a team builder? This seminar is for businesses, governments, volunteer and charitable organizations who want to do some team building. It is also for those who realize that they are on a team and want to be more effective players or leaders on that team.

When It's Your Turn To Lead

Remember how easy it was when we would play "We're following the leader" as children. It's a bit more complicated to lead others when we are adults. How can you prepare yourself for leadership opportunities? Learn the big ideas of leadership that apply to all leaders - whether you're leading a few co-workers, running a non-profit or charity or if you're leading a country. Understand different leadership styles with the pros and cons of each. Find out what your natural leadership style is and how to maximize that for your group. We also investigate the idea of servant leadership and how your attitude can disarm the most challenging members of your group. Learn too about the rewards of leadership for you as a person.

Defining Your Organization's Myth - Toward Organizational Effectiveness

The organizational myth is how we see our ourselves and our organization in the big picture. Often discouraged by hard times - each organization needs to have a story that is understood and owned from CEO to newest employee to defines its identity. Renew your organization's effectiveness and become a place the best people want to be by discovering or revitalizing your organization's myth. Grant Fairley

It's Alive! Seeing Your Organization As The Organism It Is & How To Keep It Healthy

Organizations are often defined by flow-charts and quarterly financials. But every corporation, government department or community group is as much an organism as the people who work and serve there. The organic view of your group can allow it to be a healthy and productive place that can unleash the untapped potential trapped within the bureaucracy, traditions and rules. Grant Fairley

Staying Healthy & Getting Back To Work

Your group in particular may also be interested in hearing Dr. Blair Lamb, MD who is a pain specialist www.DrLamb.com and who has developed a number of strategies to reduce workplace injuries (including lifting and repetitive strain/carpal tunnel) and has a stretching program that can be used by employees to minimize injuries and back pain. We also find that most executives benefit from this because most people over 40 have some chronic pain.
