Would you like to see your team working with cooperation, motivation, harmony, enthusiasm and commitment and without dissension, internal competition, rivalry, blame and gossip? Then you will want to pay close attention to this letter. Here's why: When I talk to both leaders and employees they tell me that the workplace today is exhausting, insecure and overwhelming. In reality, millions of people spend three fourths of their waking hours in the workplace and are not happy nor using their full potential. The workplace today is often comprised of a web of egos battling and competing for power, managers disempowering employees, and co-workers sabotaging one another. The temperature in the environment is heating up as uncertainty in the economy grows. People are disheartened. Yet, people are the fuel that drives the organization and without their energy and motivation, the company gets poor mileage.
Leaders and managers who operate from
ego roles of superiority unwittingly shoot a hole in the gas
tank, depleting the energy and potential of those they lead.
There is a serious problem in the workplace today and it's time
to wake up. |

What Is Happening in the Workplace? |

The Conference Board Suggests Managers Are Not Prepared The continuing inability by organizations to manage people as individuals rather than employees is undermining the effectiveness of the American workforce and leading to widespread employee disengagement. What's more, according to market information group TNS and The Conference Board, managers are not prepared to effectively meet the major challenges presented by the future American workforce while remaining globally competitive. Layoffs Affect Health of Remaining Workers More than 2.5 million Americans lost their jobs in 2008. At least 2 million jobs evaporated in 2009, according to the Conference Board Employment Trends Index. But laid off employees aren't the only ones who suffer. Employees who survive layoffs lose trust and are prone to greater role ambiguity which can result in depression and greater alcohol consumption according to the Institute of Behavioral Science. People who are stressed out and worried do not perform well and are not productive and creative. Ego drama and rivalry occur in environments when fear and insecurity are permeating. Fear may motivate temporarily but actually exhausts and depletes people in the long run. Health Care Workers Do Not Have Confidence in Senior Management In their survey of 5,424 employees in U.S. health care, Towers Perrin found that health care workers do not have confidence in senior management. Only 43% say that senior management is sincerely interested in employee well-being, the number one driver of health care employee engagement. What's more, 37% say that senior management sees them as just another part of the organization to be managed, and 15% say that senior management treats them as if they don't matter. Further, only 40% believe senior management communicates honestly and openly. |

“Danna’s candid insight on issues facing the workplace is both
timely and necessary. Companies that are able to take your
information and infuse it into their values will be far ahead of
their peers. In addition, they will have the satisfaction to
know they have groomed a team that exemplifies trust and respect
for one another. It doesn't get any better than that.”
“Just once wasn’t enough. We invited Danna to open our annual
convention and her enthusiasm was so contagious that we just had
to have her back at a future conference. We did and our members
were doubly delighted!” |

Although the workbook is self-directed and can be done independently, it works extremely well when all members of the team participate and share their learning.
Danna Beal’s
book puts relationships in the workplace under the microscope
and offers practical, helpful, spiritual nuggets as ways of
healing the workplace.”
“I totally agree with Danna. We should utilize the time at work

Danna's book and feel that I am already incorporating some of
her principles in my daily work. It is a very
inspirational book.”

Why Is This Different Than Other Programs? |

This course is a restoration process. It is the restoration of you to your authentic self and inner spiritual greatness. This program is not a simple “how to” course on the steps to becoming a leader. Rather, it is a course on teaching you to discover and release the barriers that prevent you from becoming an authentic enlightened leader. It is my observation that most leaders in all size organizations are operating from the “ego” rather than from authentic power. As each member of the team goes through the restoration process, together you can all restore your workplace to a high performing, cooperative and energetic team. Danna was inspired to write her book and her workplace "personal restoration" program after working with dozens of companies in a multitude of industries. Again and again, she witnessed the same dysfunction and rivalry in almost every organization, to some degree. People are suffering and people on their knees don't work very well. She became a keynote speaker for national and international conferences throughout the US and Canada. Examples include:
You may have heard her present "Harmony in Today's Medical Office" for medical administrators and physicians throughout the Puget Sound area.

Why Does This Program Get Results? This program recognizes the inherent ability of everyone to work at a higher potential. So the work of leaders to remove the barriers that prevent people from excelling. Most leadership programs are about how to "act" like a leader. This "Personal Restoration Plan" is a process allowing the true enlightened leadership qualities to emerge rather than trying to appear superior. It is a personal path for each member of the team, whether he/she is an official leader or not. The Question to Ask Yourself: How Can I Lead Others if I Don't Know and Understand Myself?
The job of a leader is to help others grow and be empowered. How
can you help others be succeed if you make them feel small? The
ego driven leader believes he/she must appear superior. This
attitude squelches the potential of those being led. So to
possess the traits of a truly great leader, it starts with the
leader being willing to place a fixed eye on his/her own
inadequacies and weaknesses. This will helps remove the
static that prevents enlightened leadership. When you are
willing to do this,
you make it safe for those around you to do the same. |

Let me share an example of how this program can help a leader be one who creates a productive, motivated team and a healthy workplace culture. Bill was a VP of sales and he believed he was doing a great job. However, his team members were falling short of the corporate goals that were set. In addition, they seemed to be competing with each other instead of working as a supportive team. He noticed animosity and territorialism between employees. At the same time, he was also getting pressure from his superiors. The more he pushed on his team, the worse the atmosphere became. Bill was not only frustrated, his blood pressure was increasing and he was not sleeping well. Working with my program, Bill was able to finally see some of his own fears and recognize how his management style was actually depleting the energy and creativity of his team members. Through my personal restoration process he discovered a deeper sense of his own authentic power and gave up some old fictitious beliefs about himself. As he restored himself to his true self, he gained new clarity and wisdom. With his own personal understanding he began to lead with inspiration rather than control and superiority. The anxiety and pressure he was feeling was replaced with a new confidence in both himself and his team. As his team members felt his respect and faith in them grow, they began performing better and had fewer complaints with each other. Their numbers reflected their higher motivation and commitment. Bill was able to communicate and motivate from strength of character, humility and enlightened leadership. Bill also reported that his personal relationships improved as he gave up some of the barriers to his genuine self. |

Imagine a Workplace Where: Imagine a workplace where people are aligned toward a common goal. See them with smiles on their faces, coming to work happy and wanting to contribute. Visualize meetings where everyone participates with enthusiasm and creativity. Think of how successful your organization would be if energy wasn't wasted on drama. Picture people busy accomplishing meaningful goals and feeling revitalized and motivated in their work. Imagine the respect for one another emanating to the customers-- creating satisfaction and more business. And most of all, see yourself feeling relaxed, happy and confident, knowing your are leading with trust and compassion.
