• Return on Relationships (ROR) Training

  Results in every organization are driven by people. Understanding how to deepen your relationships with your team, your boss, your customers and your community is essential for delivering exponentially better results. It’s impossible to build a successful client base in a silo. In other words, relationships are not optional. Though economists talk only of return on investment (ROI), Spaulding argues that profit and relationships are interdependent. Our focus should be on Return on Relationships (ROR). When we are truly focusing on relationships, the bottom line goals come more easily. The success of any organization is grounded in the formation of sustainable connections. Learn how relationship capital throughout your organization can maximize your employees’ potential and truly impact your bottom line. Participants Learn: •Why ROR is the new currency driving ROI •Five Floors of relationships and how to use them with your team and clients •How to build relationship capital with co-workers and clients •Understand the fifth floor leaders mindset of netgiving versus networking •A game plan for building relationships that are genuine and authentic with lifelong sustainability

• How to Build Genuine and Authentic Relationships

  How do we accomplish extraordinary things as leaders? The quality of our relationships determines whether we simply reach a goal or inspire greatness. The success of any organization is grounded in the formation of sustainable relationships. In this keynote, Spaulding illustrates how to build relationship capital throughout your organization so internal teams maximize their potential and external constituencies and stakeholders share your vision. Spaulding also explores groundbreaking leadership techniques such as building “Fifth Floor Teams,” and leveraging the “Laws of Influence and Elevation.”

• Team Building: Improve Employee Morale, Reduce Turnover and Mobilize Your Teams

  Unengaged employees cost companies and organizations billions of dollars. Research tells us that employees who don’t have relationships on the job will negatively impact the bottom line. If we are to build sustainable organizations in a modern economy, we must differentiate ourselves by building meaningful ties with and among employees. Spaulding demonstrates a helpful “first through fifth floor” analogy for evaluating your business relationships and has audiences looking at their workplace with a different lens—a lens that sheds new light on how to mobilize their colleagues and inspire shared success.

• Achieving Organizational Excellence

  Empower and elevate yourself and others around you by transforming your approach with people. This is not a keynote address that espouses the merits of good networking. In fact, it discourages it. Spaulding provides real examples and strategies for elevating your current personal and business relationships and how to launch new ones in the spirit of giving rather than taking. In this keynote, Spaulding explores the nine essential traits that empower audiences to reach their full potential through a bold approach called “netgiving.” Netgiving is about intentionally making business personal and as a result, facilitating personal performance and realization of goals.
