Sturdy Speaking

Sturdy helps business founders and leaders cultivate deeper engagement, raving fans, and greater profitability.
What makes Sturdy different is his deep experience building and running businesses himself, his empathy toward business owners, founders, and leaders, and the fact that he loves helping business leaders solve problems, learn new things, and put them into practice.

Make Remote Work Work for You

Gallup’s Annual Employment Engagement Survey, found that 70% of American employees are disengaged at work. “A lack of role clarity makes all other engagement elements less impactful — employees cannot perform at a high level when they are confused as to what they are supposed to do. Confused employees are more likely to look for other work and eventually leave the organization.”

The key to engagement, and the key to a healthy Culture, is clarity. And it’s not limited to remote work. 

You encounter it every day. At the coffee shop, in the grocery store, at school, and at work, you deal with people who are confused and unclear about their responsibilities and how to deal with customers.

You run into it on the phone when you call “Customer Service”, or even Sales. People don’t know how to treat you or even do their jobs.

You see it in your own organization.

Employee disengagement and confusion is epidemic. Don’t let your organization be a part of it.

In 60 minutes you will:

  • Learn how to define clear and comprehensive expectations in a 1-pager for every member of your team. 

  • Learn to get buy-in to those expectations. 
  • Be able to articulate where your business is going to get everyone rowing in the same direction, and with gusto! 
  • Make sure everyone knows who you serve.

Envision a wider world where people are engaged and fulfilled from the work that they do. And imagine this in your organization, at every level. What would that look like for you and for the world.  

People are demanding greater clarity in their work, and it will make your life easier too. 

Sturdy literally wrote THE book on Clarity. Nobody’s a Mind-Reader: the power of clarity for business leaders and entrepreneurs”.

Profound

After working with Sturdy… “I did around 800 fewer visits. BUT.. my profit margin almost doubled going from 7% to 13% and I made $20,000 more in revenue on fewer visits. So if you want to talk about profound, I would say that certainly qualifies!”

Why is “IMPLEMENT” in the middle of this page?

A quick note about knowing versus doing.

None of the items you will learn, from these presentations, from my blog, from coaching, from books, or from anywhere else, matter at all unless you implement them. It’s where the rubber meets the road, where the magic happens, where your imagination becomes reality. 

That’s why all of my presentations come with a workbook and exercises to use during and after afterward. This way everyone has tools to take what they’ve learned and implement their learnings in their businesses.
