SET YOUR SAILS FOR
SUCCESS 
Gary Mull's most popular presentation, the highly motivational and
inspirational 'Set Your Sails for Success", explores the metaphor of adapting to
change and harnessing the natural forces and energies within to achieve
results. Illustrated by magnificent color photography from his successful
nautical journey from the Gulf of Mexico to Michigan, and supplemented by music
and sound effects, this presentation investigates the human qualities that we
must all bring to bear in dealing with the challenges and unpredictability of
life, and the uncertain world of the 21st century. We cannot stop change, nor
can we ignore it. But we can increase our ability to adapt, to manage change
effectively, and to benefit from the numerous opportunities that change creates.
Although we cannot always control
what goes on around us, we do always have a choice to see
it as a negative or positive force in our business and personal lives. Attendees
will leave this session feeling better about themselves and their organization.
They will recognize the importance of focusing on the positive to produce
personal and professional success and learn how anyone can turn obstacles into
opportunities. Concepts explored by this presentation include: Teamwork,
Preparation, Commitment, Adapting to changing environments, Setting realistic
goals, and The role of positive attitude.

VOYAGE TO
NEW HORIZONS
We've all placed unnecessary limits on ourselves -- limits that reduce our
professional and personal performance. Most of these limits derive from fear. By
learning how to respond effectively to fear we take the first critical step in
moving beyond these limits. With our fear in check we become capable of taking
constructive risks and starting to leave our limits behind.
In this presentation, Gary Mull uses engaging storytelling and vivid visual
images to clearly and persuasively make the case for accepting fear as an
unavoidable part of performance improvement. Gary has a unique perspective on
facing fear he's gained through numerous personal experiences in sailing and
other adventurous environments. These experiences give build great credibility
with audiences as he shares the four steps they can use to move to new levels of
professional and personal performance.
LEADERSHIP SECRETS OF CAPT.
BLIGH
The
name of William Bligh, Captain of the HMS Bounty during the famous mutiny, is
almost synonymous with cruel and tyrannical leadership in modern mythology.
In reality, he seems to have been a highly competent and humane leader, who did
a lot of things right. (Unfortunately, a few of the things he did
wrong led to the loss of his ship, and almost his life.)
In
this presentation, we
explore the leadership qualities and methods employed by the famous captain, and
what lessons we can take from his experiences to sharpen our own leadership
skills.
