Champions of Change

Lead the change!
In today’s fast-moving world, organizations and individuals constantly need to adapt, innovate, and evolve to remain competitive. But when it comes to change, there are typically three sorts of individuals:

Change Victims who fight, block, or – worse – ignore the need for change
Change Idlers who tolerate change, but who remain reactive and unenthusiastic
Change Champions who anticipate, embrace, and even create change.

If your organization is finding it hard to change, let America’s #1 Breakthrough Speaker Brian Biro show you the way forward. In his dynamic presentation Champions of Change!, Brian explains how to ditch the fear often associated with change, and instead turn the transformation into something hugely positive. With Champions of Change!, you can:

Make change an enjoyable and rewarding process, enabling you to achieve things you never thought possible
Inject energy, momentum, innovation, and vitality into everything you do
Inspire management and staff, by making everyone feel respected, appreciated, and engaged
Transform change victims and idlers into Change Champions.

Controlling the Controllables

Focus on what you control, not on what you don’t!
Sometimes, we waste precious resources fretting about things we can’t control. We worry about circumstances, events, or situations that we cannot possibly influence. Ultimately, such behavior achieves nothing, leading to doubts, fears, and disappointment.

Far better to focus our time, energy, and resources on the things that we do control. Why? Because by controlling the controllables – with our effort, energy, and attitude – we can achieve amazing results. We generate momentum and confidence!

This is the philosophy that underpins Controlling the Controllables, an exciting and positive motivational event presented by America’s #1 Breakthrough Speaker Brian Biro. In this fun, informative, and revealing presentation, Brian shows you how to:

Create a “can do” culture of possibility, based on every team member embracing personal responsibility for their actions and approach
Breakthrough the fear of failure, and replace it with an unstoppable determination to constantly improve
Transform burn-out and stress into momentum and extraordinary results
Enhance your character and culture by focusing on the key elements that you can control.

Testimonials

From the moment I met you, I knew your message would be right on for our leaders. I especially appreciate and enjoy your ability to facilitate learning by engaging the crowd and somehow still being able to maintain control. Your willingness to go above and beyond 'duty' is such an example of leading by example. Your sincerity and genuineness permeates, and we love you.
– B.D. Manager Leadership Development, Sprint
Brian, great job yesterday. You really hit a home run. From the associates at the airport yesterday evening to the senior executives (Ron, Susan, our CFO) this morning, everyone is talking about your presentation. Pretty amazing given the 20th birthday party we had on Monday night. I've received a bunch of positive notes as well yesterday. The buzz is all about you, not Sting. I joked about Ron being the opening act for Sting. Truth is, Sting was the opening act for you.
– M.M. President and COO Staples
You totally blew all of our minds! You have a way of bringing the best in each person to the surface. Unfortunately we tend to forget the wonderful person that lies within. Knowing this, you forged ahead and revived each person you came in contact with that day. Thank you for rebuilding us, sharing your youthful spirit and your genuineness.
– K.C. Manager Training and Development, Southwest Airlines
