STREAMLINING!

IN PERSON PRESENTATION

VIRTUAL PRESENTATION

PROGRAMS

The Streamline Method.

As a lifelong professional swimmer, I learned the power of momentum. When you dive into a 50-meter pool, you face over 660,000 gallons of water resistance. However, by using a technique called streamlining a swimmer can reduce the force of resistance. This is so effective, swimming competitions limit this technique to the first 15 meters of a race.

Throughout my career, I learned you can harness the same momentum gained by using streamlining in business—and life. Today, I speak around the world teaching organizations how to move beyond obstacles and remove friction. The result, a proactive team that achieves goals.

Keynote

Streamline  into Action.

Obstacles are more than just roadblocks. They prevent a business from achieving goals. Get your team members to view change as an opportunity rather than a roadblock.

Come along for a ride as Deborah G takes you on a journey that explores The Streamline Method. With only a few simple changes, you’ll learn how to reduce resistance to change, move beyond obstacles, and build a proactive team. Instead of being complacent with current level of success, what if you could convince your team that the way forward is moving beyond what they thought was achievable?
