"Is your company “stuck?” Are you looking for a new, innovative way to ignite top performance? Based on feedback from our clients, best-selling author, Peter McLaughlin, has developed a program to help identify the “traps” you’re in and researched the best ways to get your team back on a winning streak."
WHAT IS A MONKEY TRAP?
"A Monkey Trap consists of a hollowed out coconut chained to a stake. The coconut has some rice inside which can be grabbed through the small hole. The hole is big enough so the monkey’s hand can go in, but too small for his fist with rice to come out. The monkey reaches in and is suddenly trapped — by nothing more than his own rigidity. He can’t revalue the rice. He cannot see that freedom without rice is more valuable than capture with it."
— Robert Pirsig

Is your team in a Monkey Trap ... a self-imposed, sometimes unrecognized "stuckness?" Do they need to take bold action? Do you need more creativity and innovation to meet today’s challenges?
Just like the monkey, sometimes we lose our fight, we don’t flee…we are frozen, stuck! We can’t see the rut we’re in. It's like we're all "on hold.", just doing the same things we’ve always done, but with worse results. To change, we must start with ourselves. As Pogo said, “We have met the enemy and they are us.”
This well-researched program is designed to get your business "unstuck."
Break Through the Monkey Traps ... NOW!
We will help you revalue what you accepted to be true, and question your suppositions. Each team member will leave more creative, energized and confident.
Don’t wait ... Let the winning streak begin!
FIVE RESEARCH-BASED IDEAS TO GET ON A WINNING STREAK
GET YOUR SWAGGER BACK
We're talking about reality-based optimism, not Pollyanna thinking. You’ll learn about recent research indicating there is a "tipping point" for changing mediocre results into a winning streak of top performance. Peter can help your team develop the optimism and positivity through real-life case-studies and hands-on activities.
IGNITE ENERGY
The brain and body work together. Peter's best-selling book, CatchFire, consistently points out the need for physical movement for increased mental toughness. Peter delivers lifestyle solutions that are practical and powerful. When asked about the tools needed for today’s top performers, Jack Welch, the former CEO of GE answered, "Energy, Energy, Energy!"
GET CREATIVE
Do yesterday’s answers solve today's problems? I don’t think so. The new, tough landscape gives us freedom to become "explorers." The old ways don't work and we have to come up with the new. Creativity turns "breakdowns into break throughs." Peter delivers the tools to help you develop "beginner's mind" as a way to look at your situation in a different and effective way.
"NEVER EAT ALONE"
In tough times, we need to communicate more, not less, and communicate more creatively for better results. Studies in neuroscience teach us how to communicate to people's strengths, give actionable feedback and create an environment for new ideas and solutions. Peter will help you understand your communication process and help you deal more effectively with others.
ACTIVATE AND EXECUTE
Mark Twain said, "Courage is resistance to fear, mastery of fear … not the absence of fear. "Stuckness" and fear stop us from taking action. Research shows that you have to have a "win" to start a winning streak. Peter shares techniques to orchestrate small victories, push past fear and into action.
