Why settle for being successful when you can choose
to be SIGNIFICANT? It’s not about how much money
you make. It’s about how many lives you touch and
the manner you choose to impact them. Because, how
we impact others is a CHOICE.
Significance is about making every part of the world
you touch better for having interacted with you.
It’s about creating a lasting impact and a positive legacy. You don’t have to change
the world – only the world around you.
In this humorous and engaging keynote, master storyteller Lauren Schieffer will
highlight keys to creating that lasting impact for yourself. Finding Significance is an
eye-opening presentation that will lift you to a richer, more transcendent vantage from
which you can discover a deeper, more rewarding definition of influence. ...less

On your life’s journey, you will encounter
balcony people and you will encounter
basement people. Both have value and
deserve to be treated with respect, and yet there
is fundamental difference in how each looks at the world, their tasks and
the people they work with.
Balcony people take a Higher View. They are perpetual optimists, who
believe that you can do anything, if you believe you can and are willing to
put in the effort. From a higher view, you see possibilities rather than
limitations. Balcony people inspire and empower others to reach farther and
achieve more.
In this entertaining, humorous and inspiring keynote, master storyteller Lauren
Schieffer shares her insights on and the benefits of living a life as a balcony per-
son, staying positive, working with and (sometimes around) basement people –
and how YOU can do the same! ...less

The greatest hindrance to growth in any organization, or in any individual career is poor
communication, both up and down the ladder. In today's highly charged and divisive
environment, saying the wrong thing (or the right thing in the wrong way!) can make
or break a conversation. Most people are promoted (or not) based on how they relate to
others, and so many projects fail because of lack of – or poor communication.
This engaging and interactive program gives you the skills you need to get results. It steeps down
the core competencies of impactful, respectful communication and leaves you understanding how
to respectfully get things done. ...less

Is your organization suffering from low morale, lack of
vision, drama or a lack of accountability? All of these
are signs of a crack in leadership at some level. Even
if it’s not in the C-Suite, poor leadership at any level
in the organization can be a pothole to the organization’s
mission.
While every industry has its systems and procedures (which may change over
time), the CORE concepts of significant leadership are evergreen. The bottom-
line results of reduced attrition, increased productivity, increased customer sat-
isfaction and increased profitability will take care of themselves if you drive the
higher level, essential concepts of Internal Leadership.
In this humorous and engaging program, master storyteller Lauren Schieffer
equips you with the foundational concepts and skills you need to lead on a daily
basis, whether you hold a leadership title or not. ...less
Stop the Blame Game! Creating Team Accountability
Any team, whether it’s in healthcare, sales, customer service, operations or administration, is only as strong as its weakest link. If any member of the team is not accountable and fails to follow through on ...more
Any team, whether it’s in healthcare, sales, customer service, operations or administration, is only
as strong as its weakest link. If any member of the team is not accountable and fails to follow
through on commitments, the entire team suffers. Very few people set out to not be accountable.
Usually it is the result of a couple of key issues that, when resolved, can change the entire function-
ality of the organization. Accountability is not just a popular buzz-word. It’s a mind-set and a skill-set
that can be learned and practiced until it becomes a discipline and then a character trait.
This program gives you the tools you need to create an environment wherein everyone on the team
trusts when a commitment is made, there will be follow through. ...less
