"Your presentation was loved by our entire group. Everyone commented on how funny you are but how important your message is as well, especially since we all get so caught up in our busy schedules. You helped remind us about what is important in life and gave us some good management tools as well. You certainly helped to liven up a day full of legal regulations and laws and that is not easy to do!"

MH - President RRVHR Association

I would like to share my Keynote "Accountable Seedership™ Is Our Responsibility!" with your group.

"Accountable Seedership™ Is Our Responsibility!" is a 45-60 minute presentation that will cover a lot of ground in a short amount of time. This presentation consists of key life and management lessons from my management class "Accountable Leadership And Results Management Training", www.ALARMT.com PLUS a few "Musical Minutes" with "Mr. HR With A Guitar". If you are looking for 100% dry and serious, look elsewhere. HR, leadership and management are very bland topics so we will apply just the correct amount of seasoning.

As Area Manager of Human Resources for a Fortune 100 company I learned many things. It was the most rewarding, educational experience of my corporate life. I learned many things about people but the one person I learned the most about was ME. That was great because I also learned that I was the only one I could change.

Just what is "Accountable Seedership™"? It is not a typo for Leadership although it is closely tied to leadership. "Accountable Seedership™" is being held personably accountable for the seeds we sow in life. We have a problem in this country. The problem is that many people do not consider themselves leaders. They consider themselves "without influence" and do not consider the quality of the "seeds" they sow. They are shirking their responsibilities.

Let me share some of the titles that I consider to be leaders; Parent, step-parent, grandparent, employee, supervisor, manager, teacher or preacher. Did I name you? If not, let me know, it's probably a mistake. You may serve in multiple roles and sow different seeds in each. Some of these roles were requested and some were just inherited but you still have a duty to scatter "good seeds".

You see, a major portion of a leader's responsibility is the lives they impact and the "seeds they sow". To sow "good seeds" is not a choice, it's a responsibility. It's a duty. Some of the greatest rewards in life are sowing good seeds and watching them grow and develop.

"Accountable Seedership™ Is Our Responsibility!" is a program that explores the different roles we play, the different aspects of our life such as health, relationships or finance and the quality of seeds sown in each.

We will throw "good seeds". These seeds come from personal and mentor's experience and have been tested over time. The only variable will be the quality of the soil which will be the audience. As the parable says, some will fall on rocky, some thorny and some good soil. We are hoping for good soil but will continue to sow wherever requested.

I have witnessed hundreds of successes and failures. I have reviewed thousands of appraisals and performance improvement plans. I have watched lives, marriages, families and careers destroyed by an individual's actions and the power of the written word. BUT, I have also seen lives, marriages, families and careers items salvaged by a change in an individual's actions accompanied by the written word and a PLAN. After witnessing these items I have come to this conclusion, "Nothing Changes Until Something Is Written" and the BEST way to NOT FAIL at "Accountable Seedership™" is to have a plan. Most people do not have a written plan but this is an invitation to become "Unmost People"! Sign up on the left for our e-mail list and we will e-mail you the "Accountable Seedership™ Life Scorecard."

Think about changes that you may implement upon receipt of these written documents; a speeding ticket, a note from your child's school about their behavior, a termination notice from your employer, a notice that your spouse has filed for divorce, a declaration of bankruptcy or a diagnosis of cancer or diabetes from your doctor. Why wait on these items? Become proactive to prevent these, not reactive to correct them. You will make a change by either inspiration or despiration. We prefer inspiration. Some people may wait on despiration, "But I Am Not Some People!"

I want to share the power of the written word as it is used to address poor performance, acknowledge good performance or develop a plan for improved performance. Oh, and don't think that we are just writing about someone else. The most beneficial plan we can write is our own.

In our limited amount of time I will share some items that if written down, reviewed and implemented will improve your success rate in "Accountable Seedership™"

Plus, although I truly believe in the value of good content, I also believe in having fun. "Mr. HR With A Guitar™" will share a few "musical minutes with you also. Click HERE to see a sample of "Mr. HR With A Guitar™" for HR and management related meetings.

Here are a few samples of the seeds we will throw to your group in my presentation: "Accountable Seedership™ Is Our Responsibility!"

1. Handling anger.
2. Pick your battles.
3. The value of learning and why it should never end.
4. Becoming "Unwilling To Settle" in your life.
5. When you mess up, fess up, fix it and move on.
6. The importance of diversity.
7. Integrity, you either have it or don't. "er" fits on the end of fast, smart, quick and slow, but not on the end of honest.
8. What "health" seeds are you planting?
9. The value of mentors in our life. There are very few "overall" mentors so this may involve different people for different aspects of your life.
10. What does your "Life Scorecard" look like?
11. Why friends that "love you just like you are" are not really a friend.

There are many more seeds sown. It will depend on the time allowed. - Greg Gilbert

Invite Greg Gilbert, to present “Accountable Seedership™ Is Not A Choice!” at your next event!!

Warning!! If there is a high percentage of "it's not my fault", "finger pointing", "unaccountable for anything and everything" people in your group, we need to get our schedules together quickly!! No one changes anything if it's always warm and fuzzy. When your toughest accountability partner is looking at you in the mirror each morning, you are on the right road.

I want to share information that can help you make changes in your business AND your life.

I know you've heard this, "when the student is ready, the teacher will appear". Well, if the student (your group) is ready, I really look forward to appearing.

---

The reason all groups enjoy this presentation is because the common theme is personal and business growth. I will promise you will think differently when you leave. Our goal is to increase personal responsibility and reduce finger pointing. My goal is to have you leave as "UnMost People". I want you to have a plan to "Write Something and Make a Change"! Some people may settle for mediocrity in their life or position but THAT is not "Accountable Seedership™"!

"Accountable Seedership™ Is Our Responsibility!" is great for manager meetings / retreats or breakout sessions.

Fee: Complete the form below for a quote. Travel expenses are negotiable depending on the location. Lodging if required.

---

Note: The seeds sown in "Accountable Seedership™ Is Our Responsibility!" are applicable for all groups.

---

"Accountable Seedership™ Is Our Responsibility!" is filled with real life stories mixed with a few songs that will touch every emotion. It will share things "to do" and "not to do". You will leave with a plan. For example, I have had many comments from attendees wishing they had heard "the bucket story" years ago. All I can do is agree and wish I had heard it in my twenties. Click on the big red button and hear a sample.


The songs and stories will touch a nerve, make you laugh and hopefully make you think of changes you can make in your life. You will NOT leave with the same thought process!! Whether you do anything with it is totally up to you. It depends on what type of "soil" you are. Are you a settler or pioneer? Are you just "MOST PEOPLE"?

I'm also a songwriter and when I write a song, the listener must feel either mad, sad or glad. If not, I have wasted their time. I feel the same way about my presentation except I want to bring out all three emotions. I want you a little mad at yourself for some of your past thought processes, sad that you may have wasted some time where you could have changed your priorities but most of all, I want you GLAD. Glad that our paths have crossed.


If you are interested in booking "Accountable Seedership™ Is Our Responsibility!" and placing a BAN on "bad seeds" in your group, please go to the form below and request a quote.

Thank you for your consideration,

Greg Gilbert
