"There are many ways of going forward,
but only one way of standing still."
Franklin D. Roosevelt
Business is all about people
It’s about their individual achievement, ambition, vision,
rapport and productivity, their clarity of thinking and their
management of stress, their ability to deal with people and
their reasons for motivation.
Company performance is linked to each
person working there.
If your company culture is one which encourages everyone to
develop and grow their skills, then your company will develop
and grow too.
Above all else, it’s about how people manage change.
The need for change is greater than ever; we all need to stay
competitive in tough times, react effectively to market forces,
and be flexible in meeting customer needs.
Change is usually thrust upon us so we tend to resist, because
we are unsure about how it might affect us or how we might
handle it.
- What might happen if,
instead, the change comes
from within?
- If, instead, we realise the
power of our own inner
resources and potential?
- What might happen if,
instead, we’re not only
aware of our strengths, but
also of a confidence that
we can manage the fear
that stops us moving on
Stairway to success
There are times when a step-change is
needed, and how that is welcomed
and managed can make all the
difference.
- ACHIEVEMENT
We can all be provided with a toolbox, so we
can make the most of our own potential
and bring about change, for life.
- RIGHT TOOLS
With the right tools, personal
limitations can be removed
and choices revealed.
- AWARENESS OF CHOICE
With the awareness that things could be
different, there comes an acknowledgment that
other ways could at least be considered.
We can all be taught how to manage change,
in all its different contexts. It’s like learning
anything else for which a good set of tools
can really help; learn to use the tools and you
can achieve anything.
Imagine trying to build a house without
screwdriver or spanner, scaffolding, drill or
cement mixer. You might manage a small mud
hut, but that’s where you would stay, literally.
Even if you thought an attic might be nice, you
just wouldn’t have the tools to do anything about it. And that
would be that. Life on the ground floor forever.
If you do what you always do,
you get what you always get.
But then one day you might become aware that
you’d like something different - a second floor
perhaps. Without the tools you still can’t do
anything, but the idea is there. Then you discover
that you do have some tools after all, and find out
how to use them; you build some stairs and
move up.
“They always say time changes things, but
you actually have to change them yourself.”
Andy Warhol
So what sort of changes are we talking
about? Areas where you might be
looking for change could include;
Choices
Plans can and do go wrong. Customers change
their mind. Markets crash and shares soar.
Staff leave, productivity suffers. Performance
declines, sales fall and motivation decreases.
WHAT CHOICE IS THERE? How we react.
If we’re aware of this choice, we have the
ability to affect results positively.
Communicate or conflict
Difficult situations, people, problems.
Conflicting goals, ideas, language.
These nearly always happen because of a
lack of communication.
What might this sort of conflict lead to -
misunderstandings, poor motivation,
reduced productivity, staff turnover?
What might be some of the ways of dealing with it -
listening to others
- understanding the cause of stress
maintaining objectiveness
- leadership
- self-awareness and confidence?
How useful would it be to have a strategy which
would help us to identify what’s going on, and allow
us to move the situation forward?
Creating excellence
Think of a colleague who does wonderful presentations, or
someone who handles meetings brilliantly; perhaps a friend
who gets on with everyone, or is a terrific motivator.
Some people just seem to have a knack.
We can learn just what it is that makes the difference
between an average and a star performance.
If one person can accomplish something skillfully, that skill
can be learned by others, and peak performance can be
accessed at will.
By studying excellence, practical skills can be identified
that other people can use to recreate that excellence.
“We are what we repeatedly do.
Excellence then, is not an act, but a habit.”
Aristotle

Imagine the future...
If you solve your problem, what will it mean to you?
If you address your issues, how will you feel?
If you overcome your worries, how different would that be?
If you don’t develop your staff, what will happen?
If you don’t make any changes, how will it be?
If you don’t make progress, what will be the result?
What makes this different from
all the others?
The difference is Philippe Roy.
He has run companies for over 20 years, and
continues to do so; his company In focus
recruits, consults and trains for the Hospitality
Industry in the UK and France.
Starting as a chef in his native France, he went
through his own step-changes, from chef to
restaurant owner/hotelier to international company MD to career
developer. He knows first-hand just how important change is to get
where you want to be. If he hadn’t been there himself, he wouldn’t
be doing this.
On completing 3 courses with the world-famous Life Coach
Anthony Robbins, he studied NLP with the best trainers in the UK
and the US. John Grinder, co-founder of NLP, endorses his Master
Practitioner Diploma. He became an ANLP Accredited Trainer
for NLP under the tutoring of John Seymour. He runs a weekly
practice group in Bath and he is also an Avocational Dale
Carnegie® Trainer.
His experience has given him a rare insight into why people work,
behave and react they way they do, and he knows what it’s like to
be unsure and not know the way forward. He knows that the
confident management of change brings value to both professional
and personal life, and he uses these strategies and techniques in
running his own successful company.
