    Winning at Working

    Work results change when you transform a win philosophy into a winning one. Let Nan show you why you're playing the wrong game, why winning trumps win and what you can do to reach your life's potential.

    Creating Your Own Workplace Luck
    Sharing lessons learned from minimum wage employee to Vice President of a $4.4 billion dollar company, Nan offers insights on how you can increase your luck factor at work beginning tomorrow. Learn common sense but uncommon practices that will differentiate your results and help you be winning at working.

    Inventing Your Future

    Most of us have dreams and aspirations, but few people actualize them or live their life’s potential. Yet all that changes when you learn to invent your own future and offer the best of who you are to the world. Currrently living her life dream to work and write from the mountains of northwestern Montana, Nan shares perspectives on how to you can invent the future that you want to face.

    Laying Golden Eggs: Developing a Winning Culture
    While one’s presence on the job can be bought, companies cannot crowbar ideas from heads or engage passions for work. These must be earned in an era where intellectual property (the golden egg) is the competitive edge for companies. As the former architect and influence leader of a culture transformation for 10,000 employees, Nan shares insights on creating and sustaining a winning workplace culture.

    The Business of Trust
    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.
