eat Resignation. Millions of enlightened employees have spoken. They want CHANGE. And, they will only work for organizations who provide such change. Employees want family-friendly flex time. Employees want WFH/remote work options. Employees want new perks & benefits. Employees want the tools and skills to embrace AI & Technology changes in their jobs. And, they want this all in a positive work environment where they can enjoy their jobs and be developed for the future, not be overworked and under-appreciated.

Today’s leaders must use vision for the future to become a “Champion of the Cause” in their organizations to initiate such change. REAL change. Organizations will either re-enact the “old way” of doing business and be left behind, or jump on the workforce revolution train now. Change, and recruit the most talented candidates–who will stay. Delay change, and suffer a turnover of talented employees, while leaving a stagnant, uninspired workforce with little innovation or drive to succeed. Enjoy this this critical and timely program for all levels of leadership based on the 5th book “Things LEADERS Say: A Daily Guide to Help Every Leader Empower & Inspire“, from award-winning author and Leadership/Workforce expert Andy Masters.

This critical, solutions-based program is presented by Award-winning author and international keynote speaker Andy Masters, MA, CSP. This shocking program exposes the nearly $1 Billion dollar fake “synthetic” urine industry which enables employees and candidates to successfully cheat employer drug tests–and it’s damaging impact on every organization during our tragic U.S. opioid crisis. Research proves the staggering time and cost impact from workplace drug usage on employee productivity, risk, safety, workers comp claims, and violence in the workplace. Precedent has now been set for legal liability against the vast majority of U.S. organizations which have not effectively screened employees and candidates amid changing marijuana laws.

Most importantly, this program outlines the simple, yet critical action steps organizations must implement to stop the cheating immediately–in order to hire qualified applicants, improve employee productivity, improve workplace safety, and lessen the dangerous legal liability for their organization. The impact of this program may not only save entire organizations from legal crises, but can also help prevent yet another drug-related workforce tragedy in our country.

This powerful program is for all Association, Chapter, Board, Committee, and Chamber leaders who lead volunteers! Award-winning author and Leadership expert Andy Masters EMPOWERS leaders to EMPOWER their Boards – in this challenging era of having to “Do More With Less” – and truly helps overcome the non-profit/Board death cycle of “80% of the work is done by 20% of the people“. This is why new ideas, great successes, and record years never happen – as most leaders assume all tasks with moderate-at-best results, while “running themselves into the ground.”

• Recruit future leaders and Engage new participation.
• Empower individuals for their talents to shine.
• Inspire to have the BEST year EVER as an organization.
• Appreciate every step a volunteer contributes.
• Reward and celebrate every success.

Powerful leadership principles are based on Andy’s latest book “Things LEADERS Say: A Daily Guide to Help Every Leader Empower & Inspire” – but this program also includes actual license-protected movie scenes from films such as Star Wars, Apollo 13, X-Men, The Iron Lady – and even Frozen and Office Space. Andy’s program provides attendees with not only an interactive multi-media experience, but also with immediate “take-home” action items to help EMPOWER leaders to EMPOWER their Boards, and ignite the best Association year EVER.

As the world emerges from the pandemic, HR leaders must now overcome the Great Resignation, staffing shortages, WFH/Remote work arrangements, high turnover, and low morale–while still in the midst of a succession planning crisis. Further, never before have managers and employees been asked to wear so many hats, and do more with less. Therefore, the time to create a positive work environment and make the workplace FUN again has never been more important. People are tired of being stressed. People want to be happy, LAUGH, and enjoy their jobs again. Employees also want to work within a positive workplace culture, which includes everything from fun, to creative perks & benefits, to family-friendly flex time and remote work options.
