What is the R Factor?
Behavior skills drive job skills. The key to producing exceptional performance is not the events or circumstances you encounter, but how you choose to respond—how you manage your R Factor.
This equation applies to every aspect or your life. You choose what actions you will take (or not take) in pursuit of your goals. You choose whether to give up or persevere through the inevitable obstacles you will experience. You choose how to interact with people at work and family at home. Every day you make decisions about how to respond—personally and professionally.
The R Factor is a mindset first and a skill set second. The goal is to apply the mindset as you develop the skill set. There are six R Factor disciplines that help you apply E+R=O:
- R1: Press Pause
- R2: Get Your Mind Right
- R3: Step Up
- R4: Adjust & Adapt
- R5: Make a Difference
What will this workshop do for me?
The workshop will help you:
- Gain clarity so you can respond more effectively.
- Improve the way you make decisions and solve problems.
- Eliminate BCD (blaming, complaining, defensiveness) from your life.
- Be fully present and win the moment.
- Create energy for the action you need.
- Navigate change in a positive and productive way.
- Build the skills you need for the life you want.
