Performance Keynote
Elevate Your Success with the Performance Keynote. Enhance Performance, Eliminate Excuses. People Are Not The Problem. People Have Problems. Therefore, You Have People Problems!
Overview | Enhance Performance, Eliminate Excuses
Enhance Performance, Eliminate Excuses is an education-and-entertainment keynote that takes a room from where it is to optimal performance — the highest output people can sustain against their own capacity, rather than the highest output they can survive for a quarter.
Using the Performance Development Architecture (PDA), attendees learn to find the Personal and Personnel Performance Gaps (PPGs) that are actually responsible for the results they are getting, and what to do about each one. People are not the problem. People have problems — and a room usually discovers it has been solving the wrong one.
Everyone leaves with a plan they customized in the room and can run the following Monday. It fits individuals, teams and leaders, and organizations that want performance that holds rather than a spike they pay for later.
What the room leaves with
- The Motivation Formula — how to motivate even the most unmotivated, without standing over them
- The lies about motivation, exposed — the ones that have people raising effort and lowering results without noticing
- Three tools they can use today — performance for themselves and for the people they lead
- Motivation Catalyst and Motivation Packages — so each person motivates themselves and the organization grows with the team it has
- Their own gap, named — what combining intention and structure is worth in their specific situation
About The Speaker – Matt Granados
Matt Granados has been an entrepreneur since he was a teenager and built his first million-dollar business by the age of 24. Every one of those businesses taught him the same lesson: you do not grow a company by pushing people harder, you grow it by closing the gap between what people say they want and what their week actually produces.
The system he built to do that inside his own sales organization — a team hired largely off Craigslist that went on to outperform far more experienced ones — was picked up by one of the largest financial institutions in the world, which could not connect its corporate metrics to what its people actually wanted. Since then the Life Pulse system has been used by individuals, small businesses and organizations including Google, X and the United States Air Force.
Matt is the author of two #1 international best sellers, Motivate the Unmotivated and The Intentional Week. On stage he does not deliver motivation. He exposes the gap in the room, shows the structure that closes it, and leaves people with something they can run on Monday morning.
The Importance of Doing Good
A portion of this event goes directly to the Take Part Foundation (www.Take-Part.org) We feel very strongly that all things we do, should lead to Good. In our business (our world) we consider “good” to be thing that leads to growth and “bad” to be things that lead to decay. Take Part is definitely something that leads to growth.
My wife and I started Take Part when we were told by doctors that there was nothing we could do about our daughters “ultra rare” (17th person in history) diagnosis of a genetic mutation. This diagnosis lead to her inability to use her muscles fully, and she now uses a wheelchair to get around. “Just waiting” for something different to happen was not an option my wife and I were willing to do. So, we started Take Part in order to help other families ‘Fight For Possible’.
We are a project based funding 501(C)(3), where we help to fund doctors and researchers with great ideas, but get very little funding. With the help of many generous donations, we have been able to speed up research and help some of the over 30 MILLION kids with a rare disease who were also told…“just wait”.
Please feel free to share Take Part’s website to anyone you feel could help or benefit from what their mission is and if you know of anyone with a pediatric rare condition… they can create a Warrior Profile at no charge today!
What changes
Every organization should start with a Precision Pulse Session.
A PPS starts with a gap audit — a custom plan built for your situation before you commit to anything. It tells you which gap is actually costing you, and which tools belong in your tool box. Everything on this page works better aimed at a named gap.
Looking for a keynote or workshop date?
Tell us the window you are working with and we will come back with what is open, what fits the room, and what it would cost. If a different tool is the better answer for what you described, we will say that too.
We have it.
You will hear back from a person with real dates and a straight recommendation — usually within one business day.
