Focus on “Team Building” Register at: www.maysvillekentucky.com

Keynote Speaker - Jay McChord How to Mobilize, Manage and Motivate your teams

Our workplace moves sometimes at breakneck speed! Problems and challenges abound that can only be solved by people working together. Teams always consist of individuals of various talents, abilities, ages and back-grounds. Do you understand the dynamics of putting a high performing team together? How do you manage their efforts and energies? How do you motivate them as individuals and a group? This session will tackle all those questions and more! Attendees will understand the times we live in and how factors like a "4-Generation Workplace" can create either one of the richest team environments or tear an organization apart. This high-energy session will not only provide key insights but also offer practical tools for leveraging the talent around you and seeing your teams succeed where others are failing. About the speaker: Jay McChord is a highly requested speaker, author and consultant on the topic of Generational Communica-tion, Leadership and Team Building. His brand of training centers around attendees having the most fun while gaining the most value for their time.
