Nice Bike... Making Connections That Move People

Mark Scharenbroich's "Nice Bike" principle is all about acknowledging, honoring, and making connections that move people. According to the Gallup Management Q12 research, just 28% of employees are fully engaged in their organization, which a whopping 71% of the workforce is underperforming or actively undermining their work. However, organizations that focus on employee engagement improve productivity, develop higher levels of customer engagement, increase retention of their best employees, and improve profitability.

Using the "Nice Bike" concept (which involves half-a-million Harley-Davidson bikers, lots of black leather jackets, one beige rental car, and the sincere recognition of what's really important), Scharenbroich helps his audiences instill greater passion in their work and feel a profound connection to what they do. This presentation is a guaranteed catalyst for a stronger, more unified team.
