SAMPLE SPEAKING TOPICS

“How To Thrive During Periods Of Change”

Every business, every organisation and every person in the workplace has experienced some form of change over the last two years.

But as the economy shifts slowly into recovery mode, there will be no ‘back to normal’. Constant change and uncertainty is now the “new normal” – it’s part and parcel of being in a more globalized, technologized, interconnected economy.

During this innovative session, Sital will demonstrate some practical ways to deal with an ever changing environment. Which means instead of talking at the audience, he’ll instead involve them in learning the pragmatic steps they need to take to successfully manage change.

Specific benefits include:

  • Discover the key to making decisions when the goal posts keep shifting
  • How to move beyond fear and become more comfortable with change
  • Key lessons which will help you not only survive during uncertain times – but indeed thrive

“Growing Your Business By Re-engaging Your People”

The financial crisis and recession have taken their toll on people across all types of organisations.

Redundancies, cost cutting, restructuring and pay freezes have created a tired and stretched workforce. With limited external opportunities due to an uncertain job market, many employees are disenchanted and disengaged. Having such people in an organization can be toxic.

And so failing to re-engage the work force at this pivotal moment means many organisations will miss out on the opportunity to accelerate revenues and grow their businesses through the recovery.

Sital will work with you to create a bespoke session to act as a catalyst to re-engage your teams and so ensure that your organisation can grow faster than your competitors as the economy recovers.

They’ll discover how to adjust to the realities of working in a different environment whilst tapping into their unique talents.

They’ll learn how to make their jobs more meaningful whilst also creating more value for the organisation.

Specific benefits include:

  • The audience will leave feeling inspired and more engaged
  • Practical tools to take away so that the benefits continue beyond the session
  • A very tailored kick start to help improve performance whilst minimizing costly employee retentions issues

“How To Take Control Of Your Career”

We’re all now responsible for ‘managing our own careers.’ We should be taking ‘personal responsibility for our development and career paths.’

These are all great buzz words and phrases, but what do they actually mean?

How do you manage your own career in an ever changing workplace and uncertain economy? And do the leaders and managers actually understand their role in the process?

During this insightful session, Sital will explain why old style career planning no longer works. That to accelerate progress and be far more satisfied in our work, we need to follow whole new set of career management rules.

The session can also be tailored specifically to help leaders and managers better support their teams in the managing their own careers.

Specific benefits include:
  • For individuals: greater clarity on the keys strategies required to build careers which are interesting, rewarding and meaningful
  • For leaders: the knowledge and confidence to be able to support and engage their teams through their career
  • For the organisation: the tools and approach to create a more engaged and motivated workforce
“Networking: Creating More Opportunities In Less Time”

The ability to network has never been so important in the work place.
The financial crisis and subsequent recession clearly demonstrated how no- one’s job is ever truly safe in the modern workplace. That a strong network, both inside an organisation and externally, is now the modern form of “job security.”

And with 60-70% positions now being filled by referrals, understanding how to network effectively can truly be the difference between finding the right career move or not.

Add to that the explosion of social media tools and it’s very easy to feel overwhelmed and confused about what you should and shouldn’t be doing when it comes to networking.

During this pragmatic session Sital helps the audience understand exactly what they should and shouldn’t be doing – and how to do it.

Adapted to the needs of the audience, this innovative session is will help anyone who has ever felt slightly uncomfortable about networking leave with a much more positive view of networking.
Specific benefits include:
  • How to become much more confident and comfortable with networking regardless of your current skill level
  • How to use online tools such as LinkedIn and Twitter to your advantage
  • The real key to turn networking contacts into career opportunities
