Bill Hawkins Speaking Topics

What Got You Here Won't Get You There--In Sales

A spin off of the highly successful book, Hawkins, in association with Marshall Goldsmith Partners, reveals the 16 habits that cause successful salespeople to stumble. He explains how to differentiate the average salesperson from the superstar, and reveals tools for improvement and growth. Hawkins will teach techniques like peer coaching, and explore the motivations and goals of really successful salespeople.

Identifying High Potential Employees

Every leader is faced with the dilemma of doing two things simultaneously: produce excellent current results and prepare for the future by building skills and capabilities of your entire team. Hawkins reveals the latest research on identifying high potential talent and examines how to maximize the return on investment for the time you spend with your people. Participants will learn how to build development into the job, and acquire tools that will motivate every member of the team.

Performance Based Coaching

In the old world, the boss knew best. Now, employees may own more technological information than their immediate supervisor, and know the job better than the boss. Hawkins explores how to be a great coach and mentor without being a technical expert. He looks at how to develop yourself, coach others for measurable behavior change, and learn a new technique for team building that is fast and effective.

MOJO: How to Get It, How to Keep It, and How to Get It Back If You Lose It.

Mojo is the feeling we get when we're moving forward, making progress, achieving goals, clearing hurdles, passing the competition--and doing so with increasing ease. Based on Marshall Goldsmith's newest book, Hawkins discusses the new world of work and shows why mojo is more important than ever before. By the end of the session, participants will be able to define mojo, measure it, and keep mojo by letting go of the little stuff, avoiding pointless arguments at work, and steering clear of mojo-killers.
