Dr. Debbie Phillips, CPM®

For this luncheon Dr. Debbie will be speaking on "Habits & Rituals: Keys to Next Level Leadership"

You can’t lead others effectively until you lead yourself! Ninety-five percent of our success is based on our habits and rituals. Lao-Tze quotes: Watch your thoughts, they become words. Words become actions. Actions become your habits. Habits become your character and your character determines your destiny! Bottom line: you will never change your life until you change something you do daily. This course examines four critical areas that can improve your effectiveness.

• Mental Framing: Setting Your Thoughts through the Power of Intention
• Time Management: Scheduling the Big Rocks, don’t sort the Gravel
• Projects, Priorities and Processes: Meeting the goals and objectives of the owner
• Communicating with Confidence & Clarity: The 10 Commandments
