Outstanding Employee Productivity & Safety In The Aftermath Of Crazy Weather This Workshop Goes Beyond Basics of Storm Preparedness. To Overcome What's Missing in Hurricane Programs: Individual Reluctance To Plan & Take Action. But Did You Know The Largest Casualty After The Big Breeze Is Our Disrupted Schedules. So Results Speaker Robert Kutchera replaces doubt by teaching how to create & commit to a plan. This more than anything protects our workplace schedules. Then he instills group collaboration. By honoring employees with productive workplace dialogue. In presentations that offer innovative thinking-plus a dash of upbeat humor. That last part dispels fear. So after the storm, teamwork and business doesn't miss a beat. Because everyone made it safely back to work. Bet you haven't heard that in a hurricane disaster program. These business solutions were presented at the internationally-attended Governor's Hurricane Conference to reduce productivity challenges after a hurricane. Here's something else: Everyone knows to fill gas tanks, and have a first aid kit. And if air conditioning goes out, there's a chance of dehydration. Yet many who haven't experienced a hurricane, are unaware of the even more powerful tornadoes they release. Or inland flooding caused from weaker storms that stall over an area. Bottom line, 56% of coastal residents in 11 states haven't a family disaster plan. On Having A Plan: "If you can plan it out, and it seems logical to you, then you can do it. I discovered the power of a plan." Robert Ballard, discoverer of the RMS TITANIC wreck, 1985. GOOD METHODOLOGY: The Storm Recovery Solution Workshop, which is interactive and behavioral, was developed to make the individual 'deciding' process easier. By letting participants create a plan through awareness and preparation. It then employs experiential methods that bring about enthusiasm to follow through.
And since this is a life-saving subject, it's presented in a supportive, really fun learning environment. To dispel apprehension. That's how everyone gets on board. For less stress at work...and home. Above all, it respects an individual's work, time and safety.
The workshop format can be classroom or auditorium seating, or held in a park-like setting outside. What better way to plan than see the sky above.
Importantly, it is brief, under one hour or less. With the basic information in handouts so attendees can customize and take notes. Each presentation is customized and outlined for the client.
If your work groups are located in many retail outlets, the workshop trainer can offer training off the sales floor. Providing individual coaching or small groups training for 15 minutes. Best Practices Outcome: You return to work and everyone's back too. Prosperous! And guess what...it teaches to use that remarkable free invention, e-mail, so everyone knows what's going on and what to do. Because while it's important to have friends (not just on Facebook), it's better to have teamwork collaboration and time-saving sanity techniques in place 'before & after'. (humor is a great permission-giver, allowing innovation and creative ideas to take part in great solutions). Having This Training In Place... Is Like Having Upbeat Workplace Productivity Insurance. Results Speaker Robert Kutchera's witty, high-content delivery, teaches productive compliance that motivates & supports a commitment to plan. With coping solutions and a dash of humor that lessens apprehension and inaction. Above all, kicking stress out the door, letting common sense back in. The Storm Recovery Solution Workshop inspires individuals to take steps today that delete chaos later. So that, maybe, we won't have to camp out in our living rooms. This workshop has great coping humor for sanity...later. Besides, it's only after hurricanes that schedules take a hit and individuals have to perform amazing urban hunts for food, stand in hot lines with nice strangers, go to movies they don't like so they can sit in air conditioning, or fix something for hours that was working perfectly before the storm. So think of this as Protective Storm Shutters For Your Mind. This transforms the planning discussion from a high-minded aspiration to being a real force for common good. Success Benefits: The Storm Recovery Solution Workshop is the upgrade to your organization's current hurricane program. And it doesn't conflict with what's in place or fears people. Instead, it champions co-workers, teaching better interpersonal dialogue. If you're responsible for your organization's Human Resources, Sales, Customer Service or Teamwork, you'll find this smart staff development for mutual winning conditions.
How Results Speaker Robert Kutchera Inspires The Plan's Success: Today, there are more distractions. So Robert Kutchera, with 21 years as a Professional Speaker, Humorist and trained as a Psychiatric Adjunctive Therapist, tells transforming, exciting stories that inspire an audience's focus and participation (reverse role-plays). Not only is it memory-remembered, it creates winning conditions and attitudes for everyone in the workplace. It's really a clever dance that keys into action. Says Robert: "There's a lot of clarity and support in this project. Because it's about people, their lives, the lives of their co-workers, family, even the strangers they'll encounter when bad weather turns everything haywire for months. You can't afford not to give your absolute best, because attendees have given up their work time to listen and participate in learning. After I finish a workshop, and I'm on quietly on my journey home, I trust I've made individuals safer in the darkness, after a bad storm." A hurricane is a reality show that suddenly arrives in your life. Yikes! Thoughtful Facts:
So in a constructive way, the workshop addresses reluctance to prepare with behavioral techniques and optimistic action that allow the planning process to work for you. The Storm Recovery Solution Workshop furthers your organization's objectives by improving initiative with the transforming, productive power of Cognitive Humor Prosperity® Important Workshop Highlights: (can be customized or adapted)
*Dyads are groups of two, informally facing each other, (can be seated), who briefly share an experience through casual dialogue. (no fear of 'public speaking' because it's one-on-one, even though everyone in the room is participating). A Dyad's purpose is to open up thought, visualize, create a learning experience. One person goes first, then the second. Then comment in turns. (they establish eye contact, so important in communication at work so things aren't forgotten). In this upbeat transforming Dyad, Robert frames the (timed) discussion: It's objective is to learn and consider what should go in their plan. All voluntary, they get to express what has changed their awareness or question old habits. That's why Dyads are called experiential learning. They then add these points to their list on preparedness. (hand-written) The benefits: If we get 30% to buy into a plan, that's 30% more productivity. Also, this is honest, in-person communication, before data ear plugs or twittering. Good for everyday at work too. Here's Where We Are Now: An uneven economic recovery combined with a active hurricane season predicted for this year makes action imperative-along with these factors: More than 54% of coastal and inland employees haven't any storm plan. Or would stay put and not evacuate-even if asked to do so. This year there's no El Niño. The annual weather phenomenon when in place, tends to shear off hurricanes above 10,000ft., often reducing powerful winds in it's eye. Also "it tends to suppress hurricane activity in the Atlantic, particularly inhibiting the formation of major hurricanes (category 3 or higher)". (from: Pew Center, Global Climate) This year, it's absent. In January, it was stationed off the coast of Washington State, pushing freezing Canadian air farther south. That's why Florida and other coastal states had such a cold winter. Further, the right-front quadrant of an Atlantic hurricane typically contains the strongest winds that spin out tornadoes in excess of 220mph. So the top projected speed of a hurricane is only part of it's force. Yet an approaching hurricane makes everything time-sensitive, so stress absenteeism (protecting homes, dealing with pets, the elderly, a boat) kicks in. Later, three employees may end up doing the work of five. The Storm Recovery Solution Workshop provides beneficial, mutual commitment. That's a winner.
What The Workshop's Like: Experiential means they feel the better conditions they create. Once that happens, they can't 'unfeel it'. That's lasting learning. And it's interactive, so attendees are focused. Plus hilariously funny in moments. That keeps attention and keys into memory. Several times the workshop has been held outdoors or with sky views though large office windows, rather than a closed training room. Reverse Role-Plays are custom-written and performed with regard to your established company policy and H.R. performance values. Above all, they allow the individual employee to participate in creating a practical plan that's easy and fits their own particular needs and that of the team. It also has the benefit of teaching Irresistible Communication & Emotional Prosperity. Because, as long as we're getting everyone together, we can make it a wellness/productivity place. Better communication and stress reduction is a cost savings too.

recent survey of Floridians:
This year it's DIFFERENT Daily stress provides a scenario where fewer are prepared-or hedging their bets. What does that say about sales and productivity after a storm? Why should companies have to deal with more uncertainty? This is from the National Survival Institute:

Who Benefits By Attending:
Workshop Leader: Results Speaker Robert Kutchera He's a Psychiatric Adjunctive Therapist having created behavioral change programs in a teaching psychiatric hospital for 200 patients. His work was awarded a Title One National Funding Grant. He's also a former Multi-Lingual Cruise Director. Robert has been in hurricanes at sea, probably the worst scenario when you include people who are seasick. Fortunately, ships change itinerary and go the other way. On land we don't have a Captain, so that's another good reason to have a plan in place. Robert worked with the American Red Cross during hurricane Andrew in Florida, putting on USO-type shows on stress-reduction for families who lost everything. He has presented The Storm Recovery Solution-Workshop for the past three years. It's a team-customized solution, focusing on two workplace-specific problems to overcome. Mr. Kutchera had an award-winning career in broadcast advertising. As a result through his research with patients, advertising clients and more than 30 nationalities on ships (11 different languages), he developed the concept of Cognitive Humor Prosperity® It creates outstanding interpersonal communication and allies in your behalf. Robert Kutchera is also fluent in Spanish, some German and Haitian Creole. And his humor? "It's Humor Good Enough To Tell Mom."™ We do not know when a hurricane will reach the U.S. coast and move inland. And it's not just that more storms are predicted for this year, it's that all it takes is one CAT 2 to demolish our schedule and valuable time. We've all been there, camping out in living rooms. A BETTER RESULT: Instilling preparedness and action helps the bottom line. Plus Workplace Peace Of Mind. and call (954) 725-0750 Your Workplace Champion ® A Personal Observation:
"Whenever an expert shows up", says Robert, " it's something
different, raises curiosity, we're thinking. A lot
of this is theater. It isn't so much individuals are distracted on purpose. There are
legitimate factors: relentless
deadlines, pressures. Hurry Sickness, Agenda Anxiety, Presenteeism, feeding
on bad news, sleep deprivation, money worries. In this case, add obsessing
over storm trajectories that increase stress rather than 'doing'. So there's that to overcome. Especially if you're getting the organization up to speed. And if it's presented by an outside speaker, it's better received, again because it's unique. Once you move the 'indecision gorilla' out the room, you transform their actions inside. It has to be done from the start. Dramatically, without fear, solid education, easy to absorb and some fun. That's often done magnificently with cognitive humor. Once they laugh with you, they're on your side and go along. Either through laughter, applause or by protecting their lives, their important schedules and jobs. I supported 200 patients in a teaching psychiatric hospital for four years and light humor worked quite well there. I was in advertising for a decade, so I understand how you persuade the undecided. How an audience responds to new information: Curiously, doing stand-up on cruise ships, I learned by trial and error to convince audiences from that creative perspective. If you don't deliver, they let you know. At least they didn't leave in groups, ha! Also being in a couple of hurricanes at sea in the 70's, where everything's moving, hidden metal things crashing, elevators getting stuck, people walking fast…nowhere, and sea sickness. I convinced Food & Beverage, as Cruise Director, to serve free carbonated drinks to help sour stomachs and morale. You learn. Ships today are always prepared, and with satellites, the bridge changes itinerary fast and we sail away from the storm. On land, there's no Captain to safely steer you. That's why you have to know your safe escape-and that's part of what the workshop plan teaches you.
