You Gotta Get in the Game by Billy Cox is an excellent resource to get your team focused and growing in their business as well as personal life. This curriculum applies to any team from sales to operations to senior leaders. The principles apply to everyone in every position of your company.
“In the game of life there are no time outs, no overtimes. You only get one chance to play the game. The question you gotta ask yourself is, “At what level do I want to play – do I want to wait on the sidelines of life or do I want to win?”If you want to win, you gotta get in the game!” Billy Cox
I develop a customized curriculum for your company utilizing You Gotta Get in the Game material. Billy Cox’s background is starting in sales and working to become CEO so many of the book’s examples are from those experiences. The material applies to any area of life and into any job function. I customize the application of the material to your company focusing on your issues and areas for success through homework and in class exercises. A large gas utility engaged this program starting with the sales team but then included managers, administrative support and customer service personnel totaling 64 people. A home health company began with their 15 sales/marketing team and found the program so effective that it was then implemented with 15 managers and supervisors. The CEO, COO and CFO all participated and loved it!
I utilize a flipped classroom methodology where each participant reads and listens to the material on their own. The class sessions are where each participant shares what they learned, how they are applying it and obstacles they are facing. The process involves setting goals in business and personal areas, and changing attitudes and re-shaping a person’s thinking. Using the principles learned, we work on the top 3-5 business issues that were identified at the beginning of the course to achieve a very tangible Return On Investment.
