Bart Gragg's Keynotes and Workshops
The Road to Success Is Paved With Indecisive Squirrels!
Have you, the leader, created a crystal clear vision for your company? Have you then communicated that vision to the rest of your people? If you haven’t, then be prepared to clean up a lot of road kill on the way to…um, where was it you were going?
We look at:
A strong vision alone won’t get you there - you may see the other side of the road but how do you cross it?
People love to help others, including their bosses. How can you help them help you?
How answering five questions in a One Page Business Plan® can help you and your people get across the road!
Stop Hiring the People You Like and Hire the People You Need!
Have you ever experienced this, “The person I interviewed on Friday is not the person that showed up on Monday?” Why is it that their resume looks good, their clothes fit and they don’t talk like they have a mouthful of mush, but don’t seem to accomplish their work? Because interviewees are chameleons!
We look at:
Why we liked them - which is why we hired them - and it all begins with us!
How people adapt during interviews.
Tools to use to get a clearer picture of who they are.
And we “let the job talk” and tell us what kind of person we need beyond a clean resume and background check.
Blue Collar Managers - It’s What’s Above The Collar That Counts!
Promoting managers from the work force or taking them out of the field or warehouse, presents a unique set of challenges. It is also a gamble. You want to promote them because they know the technical aspect of their work, they understand the clients’ needs and the crews’ attitudes. What we need to understand is how their view of those same criteria changes as they become management.
We look at:
How their environment changes beyond the physical.
How to support them for success.
What not to do during the transition.
You Might Be Better Off With Two Tin Cans and A String!
We all know someone whose life mission is to make us mad. We shake our heads, stamp our feet, munch on antacids and bury our heads in the sand and hope the situation will resolve itself. It never does. What to do? In this talk we look at the individual from a clearer perspective. We look at
We look at:
How words are the smallest part of communication and what we can do about that.
What we can do to better understand the situation and come to some resolution on it.
Why do people act that way? How can I get them to pay attention to me?
What really irritates us about them? Is it how they do things or the results of those actions that don’t fit well?

I will come back again later.
Trust all is well in your neck of the woods.
Great line and worth remembering.
What is not evident in the photo of me with my family, is that was one of the worst times in my life. I was recovering from the multiple losses of my husband and youngest son who died at nineteen years of age. I had relocated to Manly, and this was my first genuine attempt to host a simple Christmas for my children. I was barely surviving one day at a time; but survive I did. And only because I am the linchpin in the lives of my surviving sons and my grand daughter.
All the best to you Bart - some times the only thing we can do is grit our teeth and white knuckle our way through. When we get to the other side, knuckles scraped and bleeding, we are bloody glad we made it.
