THE GROWTH MENTALITY

A company is either growing or it is simply existing

The growth and development of a company rests upon three supporting legs: the company's culture, the company's teams, and the company's leadership. The latter two factors are closely related to the first, as whom you choose for your teams and leadership role(s) affects everything from the corporate innovation to a customer's repeated experience; the culture is at the nucleus of every company.

Amilya has worked on some of today's largest brands and has reimagined each of these company's growth strategies. As each industry, and indeed each individual business, presents its unique challenges in innovation, cross channel distribution, repurposing resources, brand turn around, etc. she was called in to help create specifically tailored solutions. However, no matter how different the businesses, each growth challenge Amilya faced stemmed from the same root problem: a poor company culture.

By focusing on these three areas Amilya makes it possible for growth to be permanently built into a company's future success. Amilya shows her audiences how to strengthen their business' foundation, how to fuel leadership, as well as how to create the company culture they want for their business.

People + Right Why (core value) = Right People

Company culture would be easy if it were not for people. As the culture is almost entirely dependent on the people you hire and the leaders you choose to influence them.

Right People starts from: Are you building Team of champions or a championship team?

No hero in team Stronger together then they can be apart Right Reason

The first step in getting the right people is to pinpoint their core values, also known

CLOSING THE GAP IN COMMUNICATION

The secret to getting what you want from anyone

In today's fast paced and over-stimulated life the ability to communicate has become the key to getting what you want. However, being an effective communicator is not something we are born with. Communication has become such a hinge-point within a company that it affects almost every corner of business from growth and leadership to customer service and business development. Making sure your employees and your team(s) understand this essential key to success.

The first step to tightening the communication between yourself and others is to understand the three mediums of comprehension and retention. The human brain is programmed with specific preferences toward grasping and remembering the information that surrounds us. Each person has a predisposition toward favoring one of these preferences, which in turn determines their communication style. Some prefer audio-based tools, others are visual, and the rest are tactically based. Being able to recognize and work with a person's preferred method is the basis of effective communication and the start of getting what you want.

Next, Amilya walks her audience through the Five Life Languages. As audiences learn the impact these Languages have on communication Amilya explains how to identify your own Life Language, how to identify the Language of those around you, and the effective strategies to use for each of these Languages. These strategies apply equally in the office and at home, and are great ways to improve the relationships in all areas of your life.

Each of these Life Languages has a paired Reward Language, and this is the final tactic Amilya teaches her audiences in order to improve their communication. The most effective way to have continued and reciprocated communication is to perfect your reward systems. Learning to reward someone effectively ensures the longevity.
