Keynotes and Topics
Choose to be Remarkable
The usual. It’s conventional, operating within the established norms. It’s predictable, delivering the expected. It’s comfortable, maintaining the status quo. It’s…safe! But, the usual will never be Remarkable!
Remarkable means notably or conspicuously UN-usual. It is living life and doing business in such an extraordinary way that people “remark” about it. And when you inspire others to the point that they are telling your story, then you indeed have become Remarkable. Don’t ever settle again for living life or doing business as usual. Learn three questions that, when answered in the affirmative, will ensure that you are well on your way to becoming Remarkable!
Relationomics: Business Powered by Relationships
Relationships are at the core of our lives. They shape and refine our character. They influence our worldview. They’re not just important to us as human beings – they’re crucial. So it should come as no surprise that healthy relationships are the heart of successful businesses. And yet, many organizational cultures do not promote healthy relationships. Those that do, find that they enjoy greater effectiveness, reputation and loyalty.
In this powerful presentation, Dr. Ross unpacks the key principles and practices that create a working environment that inspires people to bring their best to work every day. Whether you are building teams in a corporate setting or looking to build stronger friendships personally, these principles will profoundly impact your relationships.
Crafting Your Culture to Get Uncommon Results
Culture is the single most important differentiating factor that any organization possesses. In spite of this reality, many leaders wind up with a culture by default rather than one by design, leaving the workforce disengaged and uninspired. The greatest resource that any leader has is the untapped, latent energy and passion of the people within the organization.
When leaders release this potential, innovation and productivity soar and a movement of good is spawned that leaves in its wake an energized and engaged workforce. As a craftsman of culture and a movement maven, Dr. Randy Ross will teach you how to craft a culture that gets uncommon results.
The Secret to Ultra-Luxury Service
You don’t have to “pull the stars down” to provide ultra-luxury service. Customer service and culture is about how well you connect with others. The more personal your service, the more impactful the results. And, culture is nothing more than how well you play in the sandbox with others.
Join Dr. Randy Ross as he unpacks the principles of Relationomics, which have the power to greatly enhance the way you connect with others. Improve your culture, enhance customer service and enrich your personal relationships with these highly transformative practices.
Glued: Building Teams That Stick Together
Some say that people are the greatest asset of any organization. The reality is that the right people are your greatest asset. The wrong people are actually your greatest liability. Getting the right people into the organization and onto the right teams will foster a culture conducive to creating movements of good, where people are fully engaged and performance is exponentially elevated.
Learn how to hire the right people and then empower your teams to garner remarkable results. Ownership empowers others to take responsibility for both the process and the outcomes and generates creativity and commitment. Learn how to be a leader that inspires greatness in others and fosters collaboration, maximizing results.
Winning the Talent War: Hire and Retain Top Talent
If you want remarkable results, then you have to do two things well. If you do these two things well, then everything else is easier. If you blow it on these two, then everything else becomes hard. To get remarkable results you have to hire remarkable people and craft a remarkable culture. Each is easier said than done. Most groups simply don’t know how to hire well and they settle for a culture by default, rather than intentionally crafting a compelling culture, where people are inspired to bring their best to work every day.
In this session, Dr. Randy Ross will introduce participants to the fascinating field of axiology. When hiring practices are values-based and values-driven, you screen for a higher caliber of candidate. Join Dr. Ross as he explores how to identify and engage top talent and craft a culture where movements of good become the norm.
