Tim Richardson's new I'M RICH series:
Living Rich: Giving, Working, and Leading for a Better Tomorrow
When someone talks of being “Rich,” it makes most people think of money. But “RICHNESS” has as much to do with what is inside you as it does with what you have in your wallet, purse, savings account, or IRA. This presentation is about learning how to obtain Real “RICHNESS” – a life of giving, influencing, helping, and serving. In this inspirational and thought-provoking session, Tim will show you how to live RICH for the rest of your life as he shares inspiring stories of people making a difference all over the world. He’ll also make a business case for caring and discuss how giving impacts employee motivation, retention, and even profitability.
Tim will talk about the REAL secrets to living RICH and provide insights on having more RICHNESS in relationships. He’ll share strategies that even some of the mega-wealthy don’t understand …strategies that will help you become among the Real “RICHEST” People in the World.
Tim believes “It’s not about how good you are, it’s about what good you do.” Get ready for a challenge to almost everything you learned about creating wealth as you are inspired to really live RICH.
Back to the BASICS: How to Deliver Astonishingly Superior Customer Service
Great customer service isn’t a mystery. It’s consistently doing some basic things all the time. Using an acrostic for the word BASIC, Tim leads the audience through simple to understand and simple to use concepts like Better teamwork, Attitude, extra-mile Service, Innovation, Communication, and Social Media. This high energy session is designed to help front line staff deliver great service when dealing with the public. Tim developed and delivered this program while working with a luxury resort (The Ponte Vedra Inn and Club) and was instrumental in helping the resort obtain AAA's coveted Five Diamond. This program uses real-world examples and proven strategies to teach principles of service delivery while stressing the importance of exceeding customer expectations.
Rich Thinking: How to Tap into the Great Wealth of Brain Power
Challenging times and an ever changing world require new and innovative approaches to be successful. Organizations can no longer afford to do things the same way they have always done them. To be competitive requires a new and evolving skill set – a skill set most of us weren’t taught - Thinking. Based on researched principles for his Putnam published book Transformation Thinking, Tim will teach your organization how to think innovatively and creatively. He’ll give you tips and techniques to increase your personal brain power while showing you how to transform the thinking of your organization.
In this highly participatory and innovative session, you’ll learn ideas that can be used immediately to produce new thinking, idea generation, and change strategies. Get ready to open your brain up to a wealth of new possibilities.
Building Community with Customers, Co-workers and Citizens
The old adages “nothing stays the same” and “change is inevitable” couldn't be more accurate when it comes to today's uneven and uncertain economic world. So it goes with the traditional way of doing business, where profits once referred to the bottom-line and contented shareholders. Leading organizations of the future will redefine profits to include caring, compassion, and giving. Their multi-faceted purpose will include community building at much higher levels than ever before and they’ll integrate this fully into their strategic plan.
“Making a difference” and “corporate social responsibility” are no longer labels attached only to “green” businesses and social entrepreneurs. Organizations that infuse these ideals and principles into the fabric of their culture will experience higher levels of success that include a “new” kind of profit that builds community for all.
