This high-energy, participatory, humorous session has received outstanding reviews from diverse business professionals around the world. Jeff Tobe, CSP challenges you to step outside your comfort zone in positioning yourself more creatively than ever before. He provides the insight you require to give yourself the ‘competitive edge’ for which we all strive in connecting with the most important resource—the HUMAN resource!

To be effective in today’s marketplace, you must be creative and innovative in our communication and in our innovative problem solving. Actually, professional coaches must stay ahead of the marketplace. Everyone is creative when it comes to change, each time they question the ‘norm’ and they force themselves to look at your client’s experience from a different perspective. Coloring Outside the Lines helps participants effectively use their innate creativity to their benefit in both their professional and personal lives.

What makes you different than anyone else out there? Attendees tackle the issues of VALUE vs. THE PERCEIVED COST of being a part of your team. Tobe offers techniques to getting ‘internal’ and ‘external’ clients to buy into your innovative ideas when you do develop them. He addresses the concept of seeing the world through their eyes—from their perspective! Most important, his sessions are upbeat, interactive and FUN!

Join Jeff to learn:

• How to spark innovative thinking—in yourself and others

• How to re-define the challenges we face every day as a coach

• Motives for being more creative in your professional and personal life

• Techniques to effectively create an unforgettable and effective client experience

• How to challenge your existing “boundaries” when it comes to communicating with your team

• How to see the world through your internal and external clients’ filters no matter their background

• How to give yourself an Alternative Solution Kick when you think you have the right answer
