Suitable for all Vistage member, chair group and all-city meetings, member and spousal retreats,

Do your thoughts bring you peace and inspire you, or are they plagued with self-doubt, fear, and worry? Do your thoughts produce creativity and positive results or do they paralyze you, undermine your intentions, or sabotage your efforts? Do your thoughts energize you, make you happy and healthy or do they result in stress, pain and suffering? Are you self-aware?

Most of us have not thought about our thoughts and would not imagine that we can actually change the course of our organizations, our lives and our relationships, just by understanding and changing how we choose to think.

Mary Lore’s award-winning work includes eye-opening self-awareness exercises, targeted thought techniques and real-world applications to help you harness your mental power and be creative, inspired, and impactful in all you do.

  • Become aware of your thoughts
  • Know whether a thought is working for you or against you
  • Eliminate the thoughts you have every day that waste time, energy, and money, cause stress, reduce performance and block creativity
  • Think differently –powerfully—to achieve new levels of success, revitalize your energy, reignite your creativity, restore your sense of purpose, and reclaim your peace of mind.

 

Value to Members: Managing Thought® is a powerful, game-changing, personal and professional development experience.  Through interactive exercises and open discussion, participants discover that they have the ability to become aware of and master their thoughts. They learn practical and critical tools they can put to use immediately in their organizations and in their lives to turn habitual, counterproductive thinking into creative thinking and inspired action.

INSPIRED LEADERSHIP
How to Clarify Your Purpose, Trigger Inspiration and Be Impactful In All You Do

Suitable for all Vistage member, chair group and all-city meetings, member retreats, and marketing events

 

Most CEOs and key executives say they want to be an inspired leader. They criticize themselves for not being a better leader. Yet when asked if they are living and breathing their vision of a leader, most can’t answer the question—because they haven’t thought about it.  They understand that we are no longer motivated by the carrot and stick, that creativity, innovation, passion, purpose, engagement, self-awareness, servant leadership, and “getting to the why” are the new order of business. Yet when asked how they are leading their organizations  through these paradigm shifts, most can’t answer –because they haven’t thought about it. It’s hard to get there, when we don’t know where “there” is.

Everything we say, do, and create first begins in thought. Everything.   From making small day-to-day decisions to discovering your passion and purpose, creating the vision, inspiring others, developing and executing strategy, and creating a happy, healthy, creative and profitable corporate culture—how we choose to think and be determines our level of success as a leader.

Mary Lore’s award-winning work and groundbreaking approach offers a practical, systematic, step-by-step process to develop self-awareness, re-define yourself as a leader, and turn that vision into inspired action and significant results every day.  In this interactive workshop, participants learn:

  • The difference between inspiration and motivation
  • The power of purpose on performance and long-term success
  • The difference in power of a thought rooted in fear vs. a thought rooted in inspiration.
  • How to reignite inspiration and clarify purpose for yourself, your organization and your people
  • How to reframe your goals and intentions and turn them into inspired action
  • How to remain focused on what matters
  • How to be intentional, purposeful and impactful in all you do

TO INFINITY AND BEYOND!
Harnessing the Power and Unleashing the Potential of Your Vistage Group

Suitable for all Vistage member, chair group and all-city meetings, and member retreats

 

Your Vistage group is made up of individuals, each with your own family, friends, culture, association and allegiances—your own place in the world. From this diverse background, you bring your own ideas, desires, beliefs, triumphs, tragedies, dreams and fears. You each have your own internal dialogue, sense of humor, way of speaking, and level of tolerance toward yourself and others.  Given everything you each bring into the group, it’s not surprising that the experience is loaded with infinite possibility—and incredible challenges—even pitfalls.

Remarkable things happen when a Vistage group performs well. The energy is high, the meetings are dynamic, and everyone achieves more than you ever thought possible.

This highly interactive workshop explores the high-performing Vistage group – what it is, what creates it, what maintains it, and what re-creates it:

  • Learn the essence of what makes groups work and apply the principles to your Vistage group
  • Clarify the group’s identity, purpose, values and rules of confidentiality and membership
  • Practice must-have skills for participating in the group as an individual member and for making the group as a whole purposeful, intentional, highly effective, enjoyable, and high-performing.

 

Value to Members: Members leave the presentation on purpose, energized, inspired—and united as a Vistage group. Through interactive exercises and open discussion, members learn practical and critical tools they can put to immediate use in their group and in their own organization – tools for generating ideas and exploring issues, speaking and listening, giving feedback and processing issues, getting clear on and handling baggage, identifying and expressing feelings, developing trust and group identity, visualization and creative thinking, affirmation and acknowledgment and tools for team building and resolving conflict.
