The Space Between Trapezes
Ann Andrews
- Ann Andrews
2.30 - 3.30 pm $55.00 (Students $45)
When change happens it happens without warning. Think the recent recession. How geared are your people to cope with sudden change?
It could come in the following forms:
- One staff member NOT having a 'can do' attitude which affects the morale and energy of everyone including customers
- Having to reduce the number of staff you employ to cope with the ecession and having everyone else pull their weight to compensate
- Needing all staff to be willing to think creatively when profits start to drop
These are everyday challenges, which particularly during a recession, can actually become the most amazing opportunities. This session will cover how to:
- Create an environment where all your staff are motivated and committed to your business
- Set up a three step process to turn an ordinary group of people into a high performing team
Ann Andrews is an International Speaker; Human Resources Consultant; team facilitator and author of four books: 'Shift Your But', 'Finding the Square Root of a Banana', 'Did I Really Employ You?', 'My Dear Franchisees'.

Once she saw the results that working this way could achieve, for bottom line results and people, Ann became totally committed to working with teams.
