Does your company need a reminder of the opportunities in bad economic times?
Excerpts from OA speech
“In bad economic times is when businesses go from good to great. Bad times awaken sleeping giants, forcing them to provide better solutions and eliminate waste. Small businesses get creative and find new markets to serve. Now is not the time for panic. Now is the time for innovation, creativity and soul searching. Embrace change. Remember your sphere of influence as an individual and as a company is far greater than you think. Embrace these times…”

Do you want to inspire your employees to take more responsibility in the company’s success?
Excerpts from OA speech
As an employee, your role is not to sit back and be told what to do. Your role is to bring a unique perspective to the company, to add value, to earn your position, to help make this company a better place to work, to build better products, to serve customers better…you have tremendous power regardless of what level you are in this company…use your sphere of influence…”

Are you looking to inspire your group with a whole new perspective of life, to help them see the gifts and the opportunities right in front of them?
Excerpt from OA speech
”so you can see OA is really a perspective of life…it is looking at this world we live in with a fresh set of eyes…and when you do that…you will find that everything changes—when your perspective changes of your own strengths and weaknesses, of your family, of your kid, of your spouse of your employment or unemployment status…when you look at everything with a new perspective—it is a whole new extraordinary life…then you will notice the people in your life “change” without you saying or doing anything…they move around you differently yet what really shifted was simply your perspective…”

For female groups in the workplace, an OA perspective can make them think differently.
Excerpt from an OA speech
“Yes, I have found myself as the only female in the boardroom on numerous occasions, but I have never felt it as a disadvantage…it has always been an advantage. Women and men think differently and approach business uniquely. My opinion added value to the discussion, usually bought up an angle that was not being discussed. We need to stop asking the question who is better women or men and realize both are equally valueable…it is about having all the different perspectives within your company simply makes your company smarter, more able to understand consumers…I’ve learned so much from the male perspective in the workplace and they have learned from me as well…oh, yes the glass ceiling question? No, I have never experienced. The only limitations have been self-induced…”

Do you have a group of exhausted parents or those that work with children every day? The OA perspective of our role as parents, teachers, coaches and mentors to children can change the way we approach this role.
Excerpt from an OA speech
“it is easy to spend most of our time telling children how they need to “be”, how they need to achieve, how they need to learn, pay attention, remember their manners, eat, take vitamins, brush their teeth, work harder, clean their rooms…we forget to take time to give children the opportunity to share what they are thinking or feeling…to show them their sphere of influence, to help them understand they are not meant to be just individuals in this world, figuring out what they want to be when they grow up -- but they are souls with unique “music” to play and to share in this world. They are threads within a family, a school, a neighborhood and every one of their individual actions always impact someone or something else in this world…”
