What's
Your Vision?
To
move to the next level of success, we first must create a new Vision,

conferences where the focus is on creating and bringing forward both
corporate and individual vision - transforming possibilities into real
outcomes.
Setting
Powerful Intentions
The
first step in any new initiative is often goal-setting, a necessary and
valuable process. Even more effective is establishing a clear
vision and setting powerful intentions. When actions are aligned with
vision and intentions, the results are phenomenal! Nina helps

Networking
For Success
Ever
been to a networking meeting and passed out your business card to as
many people as possible, only to be disappointed later when no one
followed up? The reality of most of our "meet and greet"
efforts to build business is that they often fall short of our
intentions. The solution? Learning how to maximize the power of initial
contact.

actual practice, participants will:

how to make a positive, lasting first impression

and utilize their unique "verbal business card"

any vision or goal, the most important resource that we have is our
SELF! Knowing how to navigate through the countless decisions and
actions that make up our day is critical. Nina shares the top secrets of

Partnering
For Success
No
matter what the business endeavor, the primary ingredient for success is
people! The individuals who drive an enterprise must partner with energy
and enthusiasm, and they must possess the tools for communication and
collaboration in order to make it happen. In synergistic systems, one
plus one does not equal two. In successful business enterprise, it
equals much more in terms of energy and output.

takes her audience through the steps for creating powerful business
alliances and partnerships. Participants will:

How
To Talk So People Will Listen
Whether
you are in sales, management, or executive leadership, in order to
perform you must be able to express yourself clearly. If you do
presentations or interface with people, you must know how to use
language, facial expression, movement, and voice tone in order to grab
your listener's attention and keep it! But what about talking to people
who don't listen? Nina assures you that there is a way to speak that
opens people's ears, and she teaches you her unique method for
captivating an audience. Learn how to:

Turn
listener boredom into rapt attention

the trap of wasting time talking when no one is listening

others excited about your products, services, and ideas

Dealing
With Difficult People In Business
Sooner

person to leave. Are these the only solutions? Nina assures you that
they are not! There are many creative ways to approach a difficult
person. Sometimes, dealing with the difficult person turns out to be the
beginning of a powerful alliance. This session helps you understand why
