We Empower You to Enroll Others

We help you produce better business results

Since 2005, I've been offering programs for Business Professionals to engage, enroll, and change people at work.

Engaging Change Principles

Think Big, Think Breakthroughs – We leave incremental change and operational efficiency up to others.  We believe, in a fast changing world, people want and need breakthroughs.   A single idea can make millions.  A new skill can double a salesperson’s close rate.  Blasting through a limiting belief can open up a world of possibilities.    Our goal is to find, refine, and share the knowledge, skills and mindsets that create breakthroughs for our clients.  Nothing less will do.

Making the Invisible, Visible – Even though everyone is totally unique, there are fundamentals of being human and human relationships that explain most of our thoughts and behaviors.  Each individual is a collection of systems.  When two or more people come together, they form a system.  These powerful systems operate mostly outside of our awareness.  We empower you by expanding your awareness of human nature and by giving you the skills to trigger cooperative responses in others.  Fundamentally, Engaging Change’s secret sauce is our deep, systemic understanding of human nature.  When you “get people” and can “see” what’s happening, you have breakthroughs that create great results.

Why Matters – Leave the “why it works” up to us.  That’s our field of expertise.  Complex models, research studies, advances in therapy, psychology, neurology, etc. all add to our understanding of human behavior and cognition.  Understanding why something works is just is important to us as knowing that it works.  We don’t care if it seems whoo-whoo to others, as long as there’s science underneath.  We learn the “Why” so you don’t have to.  Of course, if you REALLY want to know the details, we will lovingly bore you to tears.

Openly Practical – If something isn't clear, simple to use, and consistently producing exceptional results, it’s not practical in the business world.  Professionals don’t have time to learn complex models outside of their own field.  Our programs must work with only a small amount of practice or on the very first try.  In addition, there’s no place for dogmatism in business.  If it works, even if it isn’t from Harvard Business Review, it works.  Case closed.  We remain open to all approaches, traditional and non-traditional.  

Big Benefits for You

You'll get more goodies and feel more secure.   Today, employees are laid off as soon as revenues drop. The world is becoming an economy of free agents.  Nothing is guaranteed.  Everyone is at risk.  Financial insecurity is a horrible experience shared by millions. The bottom line: if you can’t engage and enroll others then you can’t market, sell, influence, inspire or lead.   You are at risk of financial insecurity, because expertise is no longer enough.  Now, more than ever, the goodies in life go to those that can engage, inspire, and enroll others.   You have worked hard, you deserve financial independence, don’t you?

Stress-free relationships.   Stress is primarily a social disease. The number one cause of employee turnover is a bad relationship with the boss.  Conflicts at work and negative thoughts about others literally make people sick.  Our programs take the edge off conflict and give you the skills to ignite cooperation, without bargaining or negotiating.  In addition, these skills ripple out to your relationships with family, neighbors, and even strangers.  Making friends while in line at Starbucks and better service at restaurants are simple pleasures that everyone should enjoy, don’t you agree?

Strangers help you.  People will help you, even people you don’t know, if you understand why they feel a compulsion to recommend you.  Enrolling others doesn’t just refer to those you meet.  Your power increases ten fold when others sing your praises for free.  We understand the science of referrals and what drives people to say good things about you.

You'll make a bigger contribution.  Life is short. No reason to make it meaningless too.  You aren’t in business just for the money, are you?  (I hope not.)  You want to leave the world a better place than you found it, right?  Maybe you will leave a legacy.  To make changes, large or small, the world needs you to master the art of enrolling others.  Most of the world's problems are collective.  We all have to contribute, whether the problems are the environment, energy, poverty, ignorance, violence, or disease.  Great things happen when you can engage and enroll others in your truth.  Isn’t it time to expand your influence and touch more lives?
