A TLS workshop is a 50-minute, on-site meeting normally held as part of one of your regular staff meetings. You choose one of the listed topics which best meets your needs.
Each presentation is tailored to meet the unique interests of your group. Larry's advance research and organizational interviews hone in on your challenges, dreams, and issues calling for attention. His "tough on issues, soft on people" approach creates those inspirational "aha moments" that last a lifetime.
TLS workshops are thought-provoking, exciting, fun, meaningful, idea-generating, and provide a window of possibility for your team.
You choose from the general topics available: Leadership; Team Building; Time Management; Customer Relations; Sales; Change; Attitude; etc.
Participation:Your people remember and use what they say. Involving the audience is tricky - we know how to get lots of participation, and everyone learns and benefits more from the experience.
Inspiration:Your people will be stirred inside. Your meeting is a rallying point, increasing communication, esprit de corps and teamwork. Information without inspiration breeds stagnation.
Personalization:You tell us about the nuances unique to your industry, your company and your people. We tailor the message to fit your needs. We reinforce your message and support your effort to improve individual and team performance.
Motivation:Action - Your people formulate a plan to implement the training presented. They are challenged to commit to taking action and implement what they have learned.
I can always tell how well a program was received by our staff by the number of hours they discuss it after the speaker has left. It has been almost three weeks since you presented your "leadership workshop" to our staff, and they are still talking about it. The positive impact you had on our staff is phenomenal. There is no doubt in my mind that it is the best program we have had for the staff in several years.

Taking the Complaint out of Constraint
Turbo Leadership Systems' newest Leadership Insight Workshop "Taking the Complaint Out of Constraint." Constraint is defined as "a limitation or restriction." A constraint holds you back, ties you up, holds you down.
What are your major constraints? Is it capital, talent, technical equipment, capacity, facilities, supplier reliability? What if you could make your constraint a strength that leads you to breakthrough performance? Can this be done? The answers is an overwhelming yes; not only can it be done it has been done by countless businesses and must be done in your business if you are to move past survival to "thrival."
Turbo's newest workshop will introduce you to the practices, mindsets, attitudes, and skills that are central to turning constraints into strengths. Stop any whining, saying that it can't be done, stacking up piles of evidence to prove it can't be done; instead, find ways it can be done. Make your disabling constraint into your greatest strength.
The Power of Purpose
Turbo's Newest Management Team Workshop
A strong purpose ensures your organization of peak performance. There's nothing more powerful than purpose. Purpose goes beyond mission, vision and values; purpose answers the why behind the what. Meaningful purpose provides a reason to persist. Purpose goes beyond the question, "What is the meaning of life?" In fact, life has no meaning; we give life meaning, and what gives our lives meaning is meaningful purpose. When your management team understands the true purpose of their job and their team, you will find it easier to provide the motivation that results in the behaviors that are required for you to continue to outperform your competition, satisfy your customers at every level and create an engaged, empowered workforce where innovation and continuous improvement characterize your culture.

What Got Us Here Won't Get Us There - How Our Most Successful Strategies, Practices and Norms Can Become Our Greatest Enemy.
How could that be? How is it possible that we need to change that much? The Blackberry, Schwinn Bikes, Montgomery Wards could be examples. How could it be that practices that gave us a competitive advantage, helped us get here, could now be holding us back, and if change isn't embraced, may be the source of our demise? The struggle required to adapt new practices which are almost 180º from old practices, those very practices that got us here, can generate excitement or fear. This workshop helps ensure that your team is energized by the excitement of change required to grow, prosper and progress, not paralyzed by the fear of new, unfamiliar methods practices, strategies and tactics.

Fringe Benefits
"If you're not living on the edge, the fringe, you're taking up too much room." Most of us are familiar with this quote. Everyone wants fringe benefits - paid vacation, sick time, health benefits, profit sharing, and the list goes on. Unfortunately not enough people understand the benefit of living on the edge, being on the fringe. Creating a pioneering organization requires more than the executive implementing breakthrough practice. All personal growth and company innovation, all progress, all organizational breakthroughs come from the fringe. This workshop challenges your expanded leadership team to come to the edge, come to the fringe, explore what's possible, and move past resisting change to pioneering breakthrough change improvements.

Surpassing Past Performance
When you hear "New World Record," do you think that is the absolute best for that particular feat?

In what areas would you like to surpass past performance? What strategies must be embraced by your leadership team to achieve those successes? This workshop helps you answer both questions.

4 H's - How to Engage the Heart of Your Team
This workshop makes it clear that a "good hand" or a "good head" are not enough to attain success. Unless a "good heart" is included in the mix, your bottom line flounders.

In this program, leaders develop their ability to secure the holistic engagement of their employees.
