Finding Significance

Looking Past Short-Term Success to Achieve a Lasting Impact

Why settle for being successful when you can choose to be SIGNIFICANT? It’s not about how much money you make. It’s about how many lives you touch and the manner you choose to impact them. Because, how we impact others is a CHOICE.

SIGNIFICANCE is about making every part of the world you touch better for having interacted with you. It’s about creating a lasting impact and a positive legacy. You don’t have to change the world – only the world around you. In this humorous and engaging keynote, master storyteller Lauren Schieffer will highlight keys to creating that lasting impact for yourself. Finding Significance is an eye-opening presentation that will lift you to a richer, more transcendent vantage from which you can discover a deeper, more rewarding definition of influence.

Takeaway Message:
This presentation will refocus your attention on what’s important and help you to develop an “ownership mindset” with regard to how you engage with, and impact your world.

Leadership – It Starts with YOU

How to Lead on a Daily Basis With or Without a Title

Is your organization suffering from low morale, lack of vision, drama or a lack of accountability? All of these are signs of a crack in leadership at some level. Even if it’s not in the C-Suite, poor leadership at any level in the organization can be a pothole to the organization’s mission.

While every industry has its systems and procedures (which may change over time), the CORE concepts of significant leadership are evergreen. The bottom line results of reduced attrition, increased productivity, increased customer satisfaction and increased profitability will take care of themselves if you drive the higher level, essential concepts of Internal Leadership.

In this humorous and engaging program, master storyteller Lauren Schieffer equips you with the foundational concepts and skills you need to lead on a daily basis, whether you hold a leadership title or not.

Taking a Higher View

The Key to Seeing Possibilities, Not Limitations

On your life’s journey, you will encounter balcony people and you will encounter basement people. Both have value and deserve to be treated with respect, and yet there is fundamental difference in how each looks at the world, their tasks and the people they work with.

Balcony people take a Higher View. They are perpetual optimists, who believe that you can do anything, if you believe you can and are willing to put in the effort. From a higher view, you see possibilities rather than limitations. Balcony people inspire and empower others to reach farther and achieve more.

In this entertaining, humorous and inspiring keynote, master storyteller Lauren Schieffer shares her insights on and the benefits of living a life as a balcony person, staying positive, working with and (sometimes around) basement people – and how YOU can do the same!

Takeaway Message:
This presentation will inspire and empower you to climb up on the balcony to create an atmosphere that fosters buy-in, understanding and accountability with compassion.

All of Lauren’s Presentations are available as keynote speeches or breakout sessions. Why not have Lauren present a keynote AND a breakout?
