Topics:

Colouring Outside The Lines; Creating the Ideal Customer Experience
Jeff's signature presentation is about creative thinking when it comes to looking at the experience your "customer" has with you. He insists that it doesn't matter in what profession you find yourself, you have both an internal and external customer whom you must consider. It is about looking at your organization, your industry or your profession differently than you have before and teaching yourself to look for the "2nd right answer". In this fun, interactive and humorous presentation, Jeff consistently WOWS audiences around the world!
Listening Between the Lines; Creative Communication Skills for a Changing Workplace
All world class professionals strive to perfect their communication skills - particularly their ability to listen more effectively. How well do your people listen? Jeff shares nine techniques to more empathetic listening which will develop trust among your internal and external clients, and set you apart from the competition. In his usual energetic and humorous style, he examines gender differences, generational differences and personality challenges when it comes to communicating with your peers.
Colouring Outside the Lines: Innovation and Creative Problem Solving
The only thing that differentiates your service, your product or yourself from any others is your creativity and innovation. The stakes are high - whether you want to influence a colleague, a client, or even an entire market - success or sometimes survival depends on your creativity and ability to tackle a challenge from a new perspective.
Colouring Outside the Lines: Creative Team Building
A recent study of 160 top global companies revealed that within a decade the greatest influence would not come from an individual, but from a team. Can you create teams that will lead tomorrow? In this session, practical and useable team building concepts are explored. How do you get team members to buy into your ideas? How do we creatively work with limited resources? Is there an effective way to brainstorm for new directions?
