Through this program, which is based on the key principles of his book Focus on the Good Stuff, Mike Robbins illustrates how appreciation impacts productivity, morale and success. This program:

  • Explains the important distinction between recognition and appreciation

Shafer will show you:

  • How to create a No Blame, No Excuses culture of accountability
  • How to manage “gray space”: making decisions when the answers aren’t black and white
  • Why it’s crucial to take personal responsibility for your own success
  • How to “ramp up” your resilience
  • How to set yourself (and your company) apart from the competition
