The program uses two devices to illustrate its key points. The first is going back in time to the meetings of the knights and ladies of the Round Table, where there is an on-going dialogue throughout the film between King Arthur and Merlin the Magician. The second device is Merlin’s Crystal Ball, which is used as a 12th century instant replay machine. Utilizing his Crystal Ball Merlin helps King Arthur go back in time to analyze his meeting problems and identify “The 10 KEYS to Better Meetings.” Michael Doyle and David Straus, consultants for the program are experts in the area of meeting effectiveness, group problem solving and decision making. The feedback from the thousands of people they have trained over the years has led them to distill many valuable ideas about meetings. The 10 KEYS will help people who must attend and conduct meetings save time, decrease wheel-spinning, and make their future meetings more productive and enjoyable.
Key Points:
• Why have a meeting?
• Who should attend and what is their role in the meeting?

THE BLANK PAGE
|
| |
|
| |
“THE BLANK PAGE” uses a true story of a school fire to underscore the possible ramifications of people not filling in their blank pages and not taking responsible action. Underlying message of the program suggests that all people have ability to control the path of their lives. Essentially they have a blank piece of paper in front of them, and it is up to the individual to fill in that blank page. If he or she fails to take responsibility for his or her own life, the page will still be filled in, but others will fill it in. The individual then becomes a “victim,” a pawn in other people’s lives. After motivating viewers to WANT to take responsibility and control of their lives “THE BLANK PAGE” presents a four-step process which the viewers can use as a guide to formulating responsible actions.
Key Points:
• All people are managers – of themselves
• Wanting to take responsible productive action is the first step
• To effect meaningful change, one must use his or her own INITIATIVE, CREATIVITY and DRIVE
• The individual is an important element in any organization

Walk The Talk
|
| |

Organizations make a huge investment in their hourly employees every day. The actions of managers and supervisors determine the return of this investment. An effective organization maximizes this investment. Hourly employees have heard managers and supervisors “talk” a lot about important organizational issues – quality, productivity and safety. All too often what supervisors do conflicts with what they say. The result is confused, unproductive, demoralized employees who are at risk of being injured. “Walk The Talk” is an action-oriented powerful management tool designed to maximize the daily investment you make in your hourly work force.
The system is composed of …
• Two videos
• 20 page “Facilitator Guide”
• 66 page “Participant Guide”
The system will ….
• Decrease Costs
– operations cost
– Workers’ Compensation costs
–“waste” – time, material
–inventory

In this program viewers meet four types of supervisors/managers and see how each impacts the productivity and safety of their employees. Each segment ends with a personal injury that was “caused” by the supervisor but could have been prevented if he/she had leading and coaching skills. The four types of supervisors/managers examined include:
Key Points:
• The Drill Sergeant – everything is done by the book and he wrote the book
• Mr./Mrs. Invisible – too busy with other things to be involved with their people
• The Artful Dodger – always abdicating/passing off responsibility
• The Know-It-All – knows the answers to everything
