Judy Carter: Program Outlines

Embracing Change

Your company might be reorganizing or focusing in a different direction.  Your financial situation has probably changed -- seemingly for the worse (unless you're CEO of Enron and now living in the Bahamas on shareholder money).

Judy shows companies how to embrace change creatively and with humor. She provides tools and strategies to face the many challenges of change, and to take those challenges and make them into opportunities. Companies such as Fedex invited Judy to speak when they initiated a new bonus plan, which wasn't so popular.  Boeing hired Judy to speak to their management group when they merged with Rockwell. She was such a wild success that they hired her to speak at eight more management groups.  Judy talks about how change is a part of the cycle of life. We can ignore it, run from it, or embrace it as part of the adventure of life and have a good laugh.

Women's Audiences

Being a woman is stressful, and Judy shows women how to take power by putting a humor spin on issues rather than getting defensive.  Issues covered: Women in Leadership, Personal and Business Negotiations, Dealing with Conflict, Embracing Change, and Snappy Retorts to Stupid Things People Say -- without losing your job.  So the next time, at the end of a rough day, when someone says, "Smile!  You look so much prettier when you smile." You'll know exactly what to say!

Healthcare Humor - "Laughter" - It Really Is the Best Medicine"

It is now a proven medical fact that laughter can improve both physical and mental health. It's free. You don't have to swallow it with water. It's not painful. So why hasn't someone harnessed it and sold it as a miracle cure? Judy Carter has. And that's why she's spoken to doctors' groups, nurses, hospital staffs, social workers, and healthcare conferences.

From laughing your way out of stress to using humor to connect with your patients, Judy Carter will show you how to get your daily dose of laughter and how to pass it on.  

Dentistry Humor

One of the most stressful professions is dentistry. So at your next convention, along with your technical speakers, how about having a keynote on how to "Lighten up -- so while you're drilling, your patients are chilling."  Judy will keep you laughing (without gas) an ve dentists, dental hygenists, dental assistants, as well as office staff practical advice on how to handle the screamer, the complainer, the squirmer, and keep your clients as well as your sense of humor.

Optional Break-Out Sessions

Customer Service

They can be arrogant, insulting, impatient and even dishonest -- but your business can't run without them.  If your client relationships are always "Them vs. Us," they'll always be a source of conflict.  How do you maintain your "customer is always right" attitude when you know that they're dead wrong?  How do you quickly break the ice with a new client and forge a lasting relationship?  Learn how to transform your clients into your partners.

More Effective Communication

Do you feel invisible, powerless, or misunderstood? In our high speed, double latte, DSL culture, attention spans are short and effective communication is fast.  In order to be heard you must learn the art of "Power-Talking"-- presenting your ideas in quick, compelling "sound bites" that grab your listener's attention and engage his or her imagination.  Just as important is learning to "Power-Listen" -- active listening techniques that elicit people's deeper feelings and concerns.  Power-Listening makes people feel heard, and can often resolve conflicts without any other action needed.

Turn Your Ideas into Action -- And Business!

Do people ignore your ideas... or steal them?  Do you see products on TV and think, 'I thought of that years ago!" Successful people are people who take action -- the right action. Learn how to start a successful business by finding your passion, testing your ideas, setting yourself apart from the competition, enlisting the support of others and setting realistic goals.

How to Juggle Your Personal and Professional Lives

Do your kids refer to you as "That person who sleeps here"?  Do you get too many business calls at home, and too many personal ones at work?  When you go to the bathroom at 3AM, do you check your work email on the way back to bed?  You can have both a fast track career and a happy home life by clearly setting your boundaries and priorities and using simple but effective time management techniques.

Diversity training

Wish you could go back to the old days when everyone looked, thought and acted the same?  Frustrated by a multi-ethnic workplace and a world of  "new ideas" that challenge everything you've always believed?  It's a lot easier to learn to live with diversity than to find a way to go back in time.  It's also a whole lot more rewarding, for creativity has its essence in diversity.  Give up the antiquated notion of  "one right way" and learn how to listen to, and utilize, the new types of people and ideas in your life.

Leadership

Are you a boss or a leader?  Do you equate fear with respect and power with effectiveness?  Do you bully people to get your desires met?  Leadership is a lot more than getting other people to do what you want -- it's inspiring them to do their very best and take pride in their work.  People will meet their boss's expectations, but they will surpass their leader's expectations -- and their own.

Conflict Resolution: Power joking your way out of conflict

Are your clients driving you crazy?  Are you afraid to enter into confrontations?  Do you feel that conflict is a negative experience? How do you "put the brakes" on conflict and keep your clients happy?  In this fun one-hour inter-active workshop, Judy Carter will show you how to view conflict as a natural outgrowth of diversity, and address it in a win-win way.  Learn innovative communication techniques that will defuse customer complaints, resolve conflicts, improve inter-office dynamics, and get the most from your workforce -- all by using your sense of humor.  

Snappy retorts to stupid things people say

Ever have someone say something stupid to you and you get too tongue-tied to respond?  Or even worse, you lose your temper?  This get-it-off-your-chest workshop shows how to keep your sense of humor and keep your clients. Great workshop for people in customer service positions. 

Getting over the fear of speaking in public

Do you get nervous when speaking in front of others?  Are you tongue-tied when you're put on the spot?  Do your brilliant ideas sound stupid when you say them out loud?    If you answered yes to any of these questions, you should attend this session! To be on a career fast track, you need to know how to make presentations. Judy Carter will provide an enthusiastic and interactive workshop to teach you how to get over stage-fright and turn your ideas into attention-getting sound-bites.
