Keynote Speaker: John G. Miller, author of "QBQ, the Question Behind the Question" and "Flipping the Switch, Unleash the Power of Personal Accountability Using the QBQ!"

Ever heard questions like: Why do we have to go through all this change? When is someone going to train me? Who dropped the ball? Why can't we communicate better? Who's going to solve the problem? Why don't others walk their talk?

If so, then this workshop is right for your organization - and maybe even for you, too. People at every organizational level have found Personal Accountability and the QBQ! life changing. John is the founder of QBQ, Inc., an organizational development firm dedicated to making personal accountability a core value for organizations and individuals.

Attendees will discover how to: practice PERSONAL ACCOUNTABILITY, adapt to change, eliminate blame and finger-pointing, build strong teams, identify and abolish victim thinking/complaining, remove the barriers to problem-solving, achieve integrity, build trusting relationships, foster creativity, achieve excellent service, etc.

First 100 participants will receive a "complimentary" copy of "Flipping the Switch."
