ON THE RIGHT TRACK specializes in motivating and training organizations and associations with a unique expertise in efficiency and effectiveness within the administrative community. I am very confident that I can provide you with a realistic and informative session for your team, and make it fun at the same time.
I call it "Edutainment" (Education + Entertainment). I have a solid content core, but it is delivered in a relaxed and humourous style. I like to say that I am allergic to lecture and I will spend our time discussing the information in a very interactive environment. My experience has been that this allows everyone to picture themselves in each situation, and apply the information immediately because they completely understand the where, the why, and the how-to.
Because I have a philosophy about the high level of interaction I always involve the audience. I like to use humour, participation for everyone, and applicable situations and examples.
When you hire me you are getting a highly experienced speaker who has spoken in dozens of different countries and to literally tens of thousands of people. Some companies I have spoken to include: Bristol Myers, Sony, Mercedes Benz, The Canadian Olympic Association, The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and most of the Fortune 100 companies today.
I was inducted into the Canadian Speaking Hall of Fame in 2017 and earned my CSP (Certified Speaking Professional) in 2002. The CSP is the highest earned designation in the industry and the Hall of Fame speaks for itself. I am only one of two people worldwide who has earned their CSP, HoF and been awarded the peer recognition award, Spirit of CAPS.
I have eight books all focusing on workplace efficiency, and the ninth book is currently underway.

Does the thought of taking minutes cause your heart to sink? Do you ever read minutes for a meeting that you attended and the recorder didn’t record what actually happened? Or do you have people in your office that want the Minutes to record what they meant to say, not what they actually said? Minute Taking is one of those skills very few people have ever learned to do properly. Here is your chance to shine!
When you leave at the end of the day, you will leave with skills that will allow you to take accurate minutes immediately! Your confidence will be higher, your skills will be current and up to date, and you will have a handy reference tool (that you won’t find in any bookstore!). Give yourself the boost to do a difficult job right, and to actually enjoy doing it!
In group discussion, with activities, we will discuss:
* What should Minutes contain? (and why)
* What should they NOT contain? (and why not)
* Roles of the Minute Taker and the legalities entailed
* The importance of accurate Minutes (protect your company, don’t throw it under the bus with your notes!)

* Short cuts to make this easier, faster, and better for everyone
I get it; you're good at what you do - but are you remarkable? Do you really stand out as "one of the best"? And if you've been doing your job for a while now, how do you know if you are that good anymore? Are you relying on your own self-taught skills to make you remarkable? Think about all that has changed in just the last five years alone!
