3) RESILIENCE in the Face of Change
        ( Learning to Evolve, Innovate, Lean on One Another, Grow, Bounce-Back, and Embrace Change )

Our response to changing circumstances largely determines our level of success.

"To fear change is to fear being challenged. To fear being challenged is to fear growth and new possibilities." ~ Ty Howard

More than ever, organizations are evolving, innovating, bonding, adapting, and becoming more agile while swiftly changing to stay thriving and resilient amidst massive changes. Administrative professionals and support staff at all levels are learning to resiliently communicate, support, and successfully manage all stages of the change process.

Ty Howard's RESILIENCE in the Face of Change session is engaging, insightful, and empowering, providing a practical framework to enhance resilience. As a keynote speaker or lead facilitator, Ty will teach your administrative and support staff strategies to cope with current and unexpected changes and challenges, identify personal strengths and resources, build a supportive network and positive relationships, and which techniques to practice for self-care and stress management during difficult times. Howard believes, "When we adapt well to change, we find opportunity within each change, each other, and a sense of stronger togetherness." He introduces everyone to his model of The Three Factors of Resiliency (Acknowledgement, Possibilities, and Choices), which leads all proactively innovative organizations going through massive changes to the ability to keep moving forward. He also highlights practical ways for administrative and support staff professionals to make the most of any change and not become paralyzed by the fear of riding the seemingly never-ending waves of change. Everyone walks away from this session inspired and empowered to continue tapping into the power of you, the power of us (your organization), and the power of RESILIENCE in the Face of Change.

5) Re-Igniting and Re-Capturing Your PASSION
       ( When You're Re-Connected to Re-Ignited Passion—Work Returns to Being Inspiring, Meaningful, Productive, and Fun )

PASSION Is, As PASSION Does!

In today's uncertain times and work environments; coupled with pandemic fatigue, remote and hybrid work, in-office social distancing practices, downsizing, layoffs, organizational restructuring, cut budgets, fixed budgets, hiring freezes, team issues, customer service issues, quality control issues, time management challenges, having to wear many hats, having to do more with less, and having to overcome one challenge after another. It's not uncommon to read or hear about the thousands of administrative and support staff professionals inside organizations across the nation who have lost their passion for their work. The talented, motivated winners you hired have become unmotivated and burned out.

Re-Capturing and Re-Igniting Your PASSION is an interactive, fun and energizing keynote session for administrative and support staff professionals at all levels and in all industries. Where others might see burnout and average work as the new norm, Ty sees a ripe opportunity to make a difference in the lives of the talented, motivated winners you initially hired. Ty believes, "To Re-Capture and Re-Ignite one's PASSION is not about balancing or multitasking; it's about making true life changes that result in the renewal of enthusiasm and the consistent drive to do meaningful work. It's about inspiring and coaching administrative and support staff professionals to embrace and practice a process that will have them re-fired up and re-committed to work each day with a high level of PASSION. When this occurs, a vibrant and meaningful work environment - filled with passionate administrative and support staff team members - will become the norm again."

6) From Accountability to Ownership
       ( How Ownership Can Improve Performance, Trust, Team Collaboration, Career Success, and Results )

You know the goals you want each administrative and support staff professional to achieve daily through accountability. The problem is the how.

When administrative and support staff professionals are not accountable and do not take ownership of accountability at work, it leads to a breakdown in communication and a lack of trust among team members. Lack of accountability throughout the workplace can also result in missed deadlines, poor quality work, poor customer service, low morale, and a negative impact on overall productivity.

Today's companies and organizations need people to take consistent ownership of producing results. That's where Ty Howard's program, From Accountability to Ownership, comes in. This engaging, insightful, and energizing session with up-to-date skill development and actionable strategies helps administrative and support staff professionals at all levels move from a culture of mere accountability to ownership. This session includes an assessment tool and individual and small group activities. Listen… can you hear the chant already? "I am capable, responsible, and in control. I own my work and my success!" Call to hire Ty Howard today, and you'll hear and see your administrative and support staff professionals passionately say and own the chant as they commit to the daily practice of ownership.

The support you provide as an administrative and support staff professional is vital to your organization's achieving its goals and objectives.

It would help if you were tactical, process-oriented, a confident collaborator and relationship builder, a take-charge decision-maker, and driven toward continuous improvement even in the center of constant change.

8) Teamwork Makes the Dream Work
       ( Winning Teams are Built on Vision, Collaboration, Togetherness, Resilience, and Successful Teamwork Skills )

Whether it's in the office, working in a remote or hybrid work format, engaging an external or internal customer, or at a community/social business event where you're representing the company, team building is an excellent way for your administrative and support staff professionals to build confidence, communication, compassion, and connection skills.

Team building challenges your administrative and support staff to problem solve, communicate, lead the way, and execute working harmoniously with others. It shows them how to be accountable and bring out the best in themselves and others—such great lessons for providing extraordinary service to all customers (internal and external).

Ty Howard's Teamwork Makes the Dream Work keynote session allows administrative and support staff to learn the fundamentals of what makes a good team and explores the importance of team vision, role design, togetherness, collaboration, kindness, and cooperation. He shares relatable stories and guiding principles for each area and challenges every participant in attendance to apply those concepts to their team-building mindset through short audience participation, discussions, repeats/call-backs, and fun relating to the topic exercises. Your administrative and support staff professionals will also learn essential behaviors for participating in a successful team, including communication, conflict resolution, and decision-making that will make them more productive team members who can be counted on to contribute to their team's success year-round.

Learning to build effective teams and social relationships at your place of work can significantly improve employee morale, team growth, daily positive results, and business success daily!

9) Building Bridges, Not Walls
       ( How Thriving Collaboration Can Transform Your Daily Results )

“Walls (barriers, silos, cliques, and exclusion) block and hinder collaboration efforts among administrative and support staff professionals. They have a negative impact on productivity, communication, and teamwork within the workplace,” says Ty Howard.

Ty Howard’s Building Bridges, Not Walls: How Thriving Collaboration Can Transform Your Daily Results is a program designed to equip administrative and support staff professionals with the essential skills and strategies for innovatively building a collaborative and harmonious work environment.

10) Excelling in Excellence
        ( Excellence is, as Excellence Does )

There can be various reasons for administrative staff to struggle with committing to and excelling in excellence, such as fear of failure, lack of motivation, or simply needing to learn and know how to achieve excellence daily.

12) Managing Conflict, Stress, and Negative Emotions at Work
        ( Improving Workplace Engagement, Harmony and Individual Well-being Through Conflict Management Training )

Would improving engagement and productivity while creating a positive work environment with less tension and drama benefit your administrative and support staff, and organization's current culture?

Here are a few Testimonials from Recent Administrative and Support Staff Professionals Groups:

"Dear Mr. Ty Howard, It was a pleasure having you present to the Administrative Professionals (Administrative Community of Excellence - ACE Group) at Biogen in Cambridge, Massachusetts as well as via webcast. The session entitled “The Revolutionary Assistant” was timely and well received by the administrative community.

From the moment our partnership began, you were focused on understanding the core needs of the team as you desired to motivate, challenge and inspire our administrative community throughout their professional journey.

Since your presentation, the feedback received has been extremely positive. It can be challenging to create energy and engagement when presenting in person and virtually; however, you executed flawlessly. The session was relevant and interactive. Your key points of self-advocacy, self-improvement and making intentional choices resonated with the team; many of them walked away feeling empowered, valued, celebrated, happy, and ready to take charge of their careers.

I express my sincerest gratitude towards you for an uplifting, engaging, thought-provoking, laughter-filled, fun, and energizing keynote presentation. Thank You!"

"Dear Ty, I am writing to thank you and express Julie, Barbara and my sincere appreciation for the wonderful session you held for our Working Group for Support Staff’s End of Year Retreat at MIT’s Endicott House. You made such a positive impression on our group; all of our members were full of excitement and energy following your presentation. We received a number of notes from those in attendance regarding their uplifting experience. I’d like to share some of their comments with you:

'I was and still am so impressed with Ty Howard’s presentation. He was energetic and energizing, and articulate and personable.'

'But, the key question for me is, “Did I leave more motivated and positive than when I walked in?” Yes, I did!

'I found Ty’s talk very interesting and inspirational...he managed to tap into the daily life of those of us in support roles...he has “been there” and could therefore share so much with us. His sincerity was real.'

'And his words encouraged me to reflect on how best to make a contribution to my team...I plan to be “green and growing” for a long time!'

'Ty was warm, genuine, enthusiastic and engaging. All qualities for an excellent speaker. Nothing he did felt contrived which made the presentation exceed our expectations and honestly, true feelings of self-worth and value were takeaways for personal and professional life combined.'

'The information was grounded, practical and also helped me appreciate the importance of taking care of yourself so you can come to work with your A game and face too! The “think it – don’t speak it or email it” was excellent advice. And last but not least, he was great fun.'

'Ty was also extremely professional and appreciative and fully vested in the event like we were his friends.'

'Ty’s the guy! I appreciated Ty’s ability to use simple ideas to help us create a positive feeling and the attitudes which support this feeling (gratitude, etc.). Once a positive feeling is generated in a training setting, it becomes easier to recognize when we are not feeling this way at work and to set an intention to return to this upbeat feeling. I also liked Ty’s suggestion that we decide to have an A+ day prior to coming to work, as it will make it more likely that we’ll have an A+ day!'

'I must say this was one of the best retreats I’ve been to in a LONG time. I feel like Ty Howard was just what the doctor ordered. Thank you for getting such a motivated speaker. I will ALWAYS remember to bring my A game.'

'Thank you for giving us such a positive, powerful and energizing day!'

We truly appreciated your thoughtfulness in crafting your presentation tailored to our specific needs. We also appreciated your approachability and willingness to speak with members before and after your talk."
