Would you like to create a workplace culture that both inspires and enables people to perform at their best?
If so, you are in the right place.
My work is about helping leaders create the kind of workplace where people look forward to coming to work, performing at their best, and making the greatest contribution possible.
Your ability to do this is directly related to how well you understand human nature—i.e. “what makes people tick.”
This is how I can help.
I have spent decades translating scientific research on human nature into guiding principles and practices that leaders at all levels of an organization can use to inspire and facilitate exceptional performance.
In short, my goal is to help you become a People Whisperer.
As you probably can guess, this term draws from the popular series The Dog Whisperer and the original term Horse Whisperer.
Just as Cesar Milan and horse whisperers bring out the best in the animals they work with because they understand canine and equine nature respectively, you can become a People Whisperer and bring out the best in those you lead by deepening your understanding of human nature.
Thus, rather than being frustrated and puzzled by less than desirable levels of employee engagement, a team member’s lack of motivation, or a workforce’s resistance to change, you understand exactly what you need to do to bring out the best in each employee.
There’s another way having a deeper understanding of human nature can help you become a more effective leader.
When you understand human nature, you’re less likely to fall prey to the latest flavor of the month management fad or waste precious resources trying to use what I call “The Goodies, Gimmicks, and Gala Events” approach to attracting, retaining, and engaging talent.
Instead, when you understand human nature, you know how to create a workplace experience that satisfies key human needs and sources of motivation.
In short, when you’re a People Whisperer, your employees will want to:
“Thank you for doing such an outstanding job keynoting our conference. As you could tell by the response, participants loved both the content and the delivery of your presentation.”
“David Lee’s presentation was outstanding. Not only was he entertaining and funny, his message was hard hitting. I’ve already begun to employ your recommendations and have started to write NB Power’s story. Thanks David.”
“David, I wanted to thank you for being part our show in Las Vegas. The feedback I have received about your sessions was fantastic!!!!!! Three cheers to you.”
