As part of our Atlantic Speaker Spotlight Series we are inviting members of the Atlantic provincial broker associations to join us for another great webinar on Motivation and Engagement.

This one hour webinar is FREE for provincial association broker members. This webinar builds on items discussed during a previous webinar on this topic but is structured so that each could be taken independently or together.

Motivation, Engagement, and the Pursuit of Excellence - July 8th

Professionals who pursue excellence tend to be more fulfilled, happier, and they find it easier to accomplish their career goals.  But what is excellence, and doesn't it mean working 24/7?  In this webinar we define excellence and we look at strategies to deliver high quality performance while maintaining a healthy work-life balance.  The key learning points of this session include:

• What is excellence?

• How does it differ from perfectionism?

• The benefits of aspiring to be the best version of our professional selves.

• How to pursue excellence while maintaining positive work-life balance.

Presenter: Stephen Franklin

I have taught Professional Development for 32 years, currently in my own practice with my own training programs. Previously I worked for a number of years with the Atlantica Learning Corp. My earliest experience was working in partnership with Day-Timers of Canada. My courses are based on extensive research and methodical testing to ensure that the information, skills, processes and techniques I present are real solutions that produce real results. I currently have clients all across Canada. For the last 2 decades I have worked extensively with the Insurance Industry, where I have delivered my programs and developed programs for Insurance Institutes and Insurance Broker Associations. I am an experienced facilitator, facilitating in accordance with the International Board of Standards for Training Performance and Instruction. In my various roles as a public speaker I have spoken across Canada as well as in the United States and Australia. My experience also includes extensive personal coaching; helping clients develop personal motivation for professional skills development, facilitating them through the necessary behaviour changes to make it happen. My training approach includes a strong focus on the practical rather than theoretical: a strong focus on behavioural change, helping participants successfully implement the learning: and interactive, dynamic sessions.
