    5 Ways to be Winning at Working

    Work results change when you transform a win philosophy into a winning one. Let Nan show you why you’re play the wrong game, why winning trumps win, and what you can do to offer the best of who you are to the workplace, and be rewarded with interesting work and personal engagement.

    Hitting Your Stride
    Discover how slight shifts can transform a future. Fired from her first professional job, Nan Russell learned the hard way from minimum wage employee to former QVC Vice President. Holding leadership positions in human resources, communication, marketing and line management, she’s now sharing insider tips to help others avoid costly career mistakes. Discover why most people are playing the wrong game, how winning trumps win, and what anyone can do to reach their life’s potential.

    It Doesn't Come with a Title

    How do you lead people who don’t report to you, or get results when you don’t have the title or authority? The answer is uncommon-practice leadership. It’s not your position that gives you power; it’s your behavior. Discover uncommonly displayed behaviors that create positive influence, enhance results, and initiate natural followership. Immediately apply four cornerstone behaviors, while reducing mistakes that may be hijacking your effectiveness and eroding your results or business growth.

    Leading the Way to a Winning Culture
    Would you like to give your employees a 36% increase without spending a cent? Or ensure the accomplishment of your objectives? If so, a winning culture founded on trust and communication provides the answer to how. Discover a roadmap that allows you to lead the way to an aligned and thriving culture.

    Building Trust in the Workplace
    Does it surprise you that more people trust infomercials and used car salesmen than business leaders? Reduced trust hits the bottom line, impacts business growth and affects customer and staff behavior. Learn the business impact of trust and what you can do to build a trusting work climate that yields results.

    Additional Topics

    Central to Nan's talks and workshops is her premise that we all have gifts to offer the world. Helping people offer theirs is her passion. You'll find self-actualization and authentic-self messages in her themes. Her philosophy is that when we are all winning (offering the best of who we are at a soul-level to the world) then we will all win.
