"Pushing Forward When Things Change"
Randy's most popular program Pushing Forward When Things Change uses personal
examples to illustrate that despite our circumstances, whether economic,
physical, or otherwise, our dreams can be fulfilled. Audiences will find
themselves laughing one moment and holding back a tear the next as they look at
their own personal and professional situations.
"The Courage to Lead"
Leadership matters most when the pressure is on. Drawing from his personal
business experiences, medal winning Olympic competitions, and the lessons
learned while accepting a spinal cord injury, in this program Randy answers the
questions we all ask ourselves when our fortune is on the line.
Some of the principles Randy uses to guide his audiences:
- Accountability: Accountability is being responsible for our actions - and
our lack of action.
- Change: Doing the same things and expecting different results is considered
by some insanity.
- Courage: It doesn't matter how strong, swift, accurate or resourceful you
are -- without the courage to exercise your intentions, these things are
meaningless.
- Effort: No dream ever died of circumstances, dreams die because of lack of
effort.
- Faith: Preceded by trust, faith is not about the solution, it's about
taking action in spite of your fear.
- Goal Setting: What gets measured gets done.
- Making a Difference: There are two kinds of people, takers and givers. The
takers in life may eat better but the givers will sleep better.
- Relationships: Charisma is not a personality; it's a decision to be
interested in other people.
- Teamwork: If you can achieve your goals by yourself, your goals are set too
low.
