Topic: “Motivation, Morale and Mayhem: Improving Your Performance”

Improving motivation and performance in your organization isn’t possible unless you understand how core values and beliefs drive employee behaviors. Executive facilitator and author Jean Houston Shore guides us as we demonstrate how variations in values and beliefs push employees toward choices that may not support corporate strategy. Key motivation strategies are reviewed and stages of values development are examined.

Jean will:

• Reveal the “Two Buckets” of Motivation Strategies
• Guide Us to Diagnose a Real-Life Performance Issue
• Explain How Closely-Held Values Develop and Fit In

Jean Houston Shore works with organizations that want their people to work together better and will people who want to achieve more in life. Her book, the Working Together Better reference guide, has been hailed as “a concise handbook every manager should have at the ready.”

Online training resources based on the “Working Together Better” book are available through www.workingtogetherbetter.com.

Brice Fogle and Carl Herrington with Revive Consignemnt and Jubilee Church

Revive Consignment is owned and operated by Jubilee Church. We opened Revive in an effort to build relationships in the community and provide a service to our cities. There are currently two store locations; one in Smyrna and one in Woodstock.

Through Revive’s daily involvement with the community, it is our hope that people will see that the church is more than just a group who gathers on a Sunday. It is our vision to demonstrate God’s heart, not only by the way we do business, but also by the way we genuinely care for people. Over the years, many needs have been met, many friendships have formed, and many lived have been changed – all by the grace of God.
