Sturdy Speaking

Sturdy helps business leaders with teams of 10 to 200 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.

Nobody’s a Mind-Reader: the power of  clarity for business leaders and entrepreneurs

Culture = Cash

Based on the principles outlined in Sturdy’s book, Nobody’s a Mind-Reader, we will address what Gallup calls its 2023 report’s biggest finding, a lack of clarity in the workplace.

According to Gallup’s Annual Employment Engagement Survey, 80% of employees Globally, 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.”

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

Sturdy literally wrote THE book on Clarity. Nobody’s a Mind-Reader: the power of clarity for business leaders and entrepreneurs”. In this presentation Sturdy will get you started on a real plan toward improving clarity for employees and throughout your organization. 

We will:

  • Define clear and comprehensive expectations that your employees want and need. 

  • Learn to prioritize and set those expectations in a positive way. 
  • Articulate where your business is going to get everyone on the same page. 
  • And look at the importance of having a clearly defined target customer.

Envision a world where people are engaged and fulfilled from the work that they do. Imagine this in your organization, at every level.  

The new workforce is demanding greater clarity, and it’s only going to accelerate.

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.
