See if this sounds familiar. Too much to do and too little time. Feeling overwhelmed with non-stop stress. This dilemma is not only negatively affecting your performance, but your lack of time to lead and manage effectively is limiting the productivity of others. And you have zero time to nurture your own personal well-being! If you’re tired of feeling like you’re juggling elephants, Jones Loflin has a fresh solution for you… run off and join the circus to improve your work-life satisfaction!

In this powerfully practical presentation, Jones offers 5 simple strategies to begin getting your most important things done more often. Using the analogy of a successful circus, expect to learn how to more effectively manage your own workload and develop routines that provide for your personal wellness and richer relationships. When Jones is done, you’ll be equipped to get more standing ovations from everyone… including yourself!

Key objectives of the presentation include:

• Recognizing the fallacy of trying to “get it all done”.
• Learning how to take more conscious control of your time and energy.

Strategies are based on Jones’ award-winning book, Juggling Elephants.

Let’s be honest. Your proverbial plate is already running over with all you have to do. Even worse, your mind is racing with fresh ideas for improvement and growth. If only there was a solution to this dilemma that didn’t involve cloning yourself. Our speaker today says the answer is to run off and join the circus… at least mentally.

Using the model of a successful circus, this highly engaging presentation will equip you to better manage your time and energy to explore new opportunities and achieve better results. From being a stronger ringmaster to building a quality “3 ring” lineup, expect to leave this session with a myriad of practical tips to manage your distractions and more fully focus on the present moment. Most importantly, you’ll be ready to run your circus instead of letting the circus run YOU!

You have packed the bottles of shampoo and lotion from your room, taken one last gaze out your hotel window, and started thinking about how far behind you are at work. But have you “packed” the right strategies to achieve better results when you return home? How will you take all you have gained at this event and implement these ideas into an already overloaded schedule? Jones Loflin says the answer lies in 5 simple words: Who, What, Where, When, and Why.

This program can also be modified to fit for the opening session of a conference or event. The suggested title then becomes We Are Here… Now What?

In today’s technology-driven, fast-paced work environments, it’s so easy to forget the human element that is the key to building cohesive teams. We’ve become so busy trying to get work done that we sometimes neglect to invest time in fostering healthy work environments that help each team member deliver their best work.  Our ability and willingness to listen is limited, we take a “one size fits all” approach to communication, and we rarely think about how to build a higher degree of trust with others using our words

In this program, you will explore the significant impact your personality can have on how you communicate with others.  Learn what it means to be an “aggressive listener,” hearing both the content AND intent of the words spoken by others. You’ll also discover the negative power of “trigger words” and how to reduce them in conversations with team members. Expect to gain fresh insights on how to motivate individuals across all generations with your words. Most importantly, you will leave better equipped to express your own thoughts with greater clarity, confidence, and competence to those around you.
