So many ideas; so few implemented. As an entrepreneur, business professional, or organizational leader you find yourself with a lot of ideas at any one time. Then what happens? You sometimes toss them out, forget to write them down, get lost in “decision collision”, tell yourself “some day”, or wait too long to communicate them and find that someone else “stole them”?

This hands-on session fills the gap between Sylvia’s book “Hey, That’s My Idea!”, her overview speech and intro webinar. In this three-hour session Sylvia will walk you through, and have you actually work, on a real idea you bring to the table. You will spend the time reviewing Sylvia’s IMPACT(c) process as well as “doing” some of the process. When you leave you will have a concrete start on implementing your idea.

In this session we will cover the six-stage IMPACT(c) process that leads you to:

• Identify your “money idea” on which to focus your time and energy,
• Share recommendations for ways in which to capture and document your ideas.
• Organize your thoughts and resources to get clarity for your strategy,
• Determine your presentation strategy for communicating your idea,
• Review communications tips that help you garner the support you need for implementation,
• Identify your “next steps” for carrying out the six-stage process for your idea, and
• Discuss ways to overcome roadblocks when others “rain on your parade” and discourage you.

You will apply the process that can transform your ideas for meetings, events, professional, and life success from “in your head” to IMPACT© so that you avoid saying, next time, “Hey, that’s my idea”! 

This session is the pilot workshop. The workshop will be offered in the future for $397.00/per person. This session is $25.00. In return, you will be asked to give a testimonial on its value and to serve as a referral partner for future workshop participants. Imagine…you gain clarity and begin taking action on that idea (product, service, business, solution) you’ve been mulling around in your head for such an offer!
