Individual Growth & Professional Development Workshops

The following is a preliminary list with brief descriptions of educational workshops. (subject to change)

Don’t Fret About Change, Get GOOD at It!*
There’s a common misconception that change is hard. We are conditioned to believe this—and many of our own personal experiences with change seem to reinforce it. However, it’s not so much that change is hard—as much as it is that we’ve really never learned how to be good at it. Change, like many things, involves a process—a process of “endings” followed by “beginnings”. And endings often involve grieving—that’s why change feels hard. Let’s do change differently. Let’s be good at it. Hear about the “9 Stages of Transformational Change”, providing a powerful toolkit and easily-digestable insights related to getting good at change.
Speaker: Robert Tipton, Founder/CEO, RS Tipton, Inc.

Break Out of Your Comfort Zone*
Living life on auto-pilot is not only unsatisfying, it can be dangerous too. Have you ever found yourself sitting at your desk at work—and cannot for the life of you remember the way you got there? You know you got in your car (or took the train, etc.), but the journey is missing in your awareness…We get caught in the comfort zone of life, and stop paying attention, being conscious and eventually find ourselves “stuck” in a rut. Learn about how to break out of your comfort zone to start risking again and to begin the process of rejoining the living... Leave the automatic robotic life behind!
Speaker: Robert Tipton, Founder/CEO, RS Tipton, Inc.

Personal and Professional Productivity in a Mobile and Social World*
If you think about it, our world has been completely transformed and re-imagined with the Internet at the core of it all. Now social and mobile are having a similar impact on our lives. Discover the practical insights on how to grow personally and professionally with a digital advantage.
Speaker: Beau Ballin, Director of Marketing, MotivAction

The Millionaire Mindset to Time Management*
Learn how to achieve more and how to get more things done. “Time Management” is really about “Life Management.” Oprah, Bill Gates, you and I all have the same limitations of living in a world bound by the constraints of a 24 hour day. We all sleep, but it’s what we do with the remaining 16 hours per day that determines whether we thrive or merely survive. Learn the time management secrets of the world’s most successful people during this incredible training.
Speaker: Clayton Clark, Business Coach, Make Your Life Epic

The Future of Community Banking*
How great stories, myths and narrative poems help us build a future worth fighting for! “In the middle of the road of my life, I awoke in a dark wood where the true way was wholly lost.” Think those words of the great writer Dante are too dramatic for describing the world of community banking these last years? Well think again. These times have been incredibly challenging and they will continue to be so. The question is can we stay clear, focused and in productive action as we move through these still difficult times? The answer is YES, hear about timeless wisdom and practical, no-nonsense tools and maps for building a future truly worth fighting for.
Speaker: Dale Biron, Principal and Co-Founder, Core Action Associates
