The decision to lead means that each day will bring difficult decisions as well as unanticipated rewards. Bill Webb heats things up with his straightforward delivery of common-sense but yet challenging material. Immersing the audience in experiential exercises, he brings listeners out of their comfort zones and to the edge of their seats, and then offers a road to success through inspiring ideas that open new ways of thinking and acting.

Again and again, Bill provides a measuring stick to evaluate the actions of a manager against those of a leader. He points out, "Management is an assignment but leadership is a choice." He drives home the point that leaders are on stage - whether or not they are aware of it - and that their actions speak far louder than their words. Then he backs it up with powerful advice on how to transform yourself into an effective leader, and embrace continuous growth in your new role.

Over the past ten years, his concepts have helped to create real change in numerous organizations across Texas and around the United States. His unique approach creates lasting connections with his audiences, who often contact Bill for his feedback and advice on the specific challenges they face in their own companies and lives.

Participants return to the workplace with tools they can put to use immediately and often share their new-found passion with colleagues and team members.

The programs outlined here can be presented in either a keynote format or as a half-day workshop/seminar. Bill is also available to create a custom presentation for your organization. Please call us at (214) 205-7495 or contact The Blue Flame Project with your ideas and requests.

Creating A Leadership-Infested Organization
Setting Free The Power of Your People
Why do people not wash a rental car before they return it? Why do people feel more and more like they aren't contributing? Why are "deeply ordinary" organizations falling behind? FInd out the answers to these and other questions as Bill describes how to create an organization full of leaders from top to bottom and side to side. This program:

Provides six specific steps to creating a leadership-infested organization; and,

Shifting Focus
When Managing Ends and Leadership Begins

illustrates the organizational improvements that come from leading an organization one person at a time.

Forming Fire Triangles
All the elements necessary to create lasting and effective change
Each year companies invest millions of dollars in change initiatives such as new software, enhanced processes, and new innovations, only to have the expected return on investment never fully materialize. The reason is often because the very people we expect to carry out the change never fully embraced it. This focused presentation helps leaders and management teams better understand:
 the change process;
why many people resist meaningful change;
how to achieve buy-in from those expected to carry out the change; and,
what methods and tools can be used to help insure that the change not only happens, but lasts.
