This one runs as an interactive workshop: the hour includes exercises your colleagues do themselves, not only a talk.
How do successful people, teams, and organisations become even more successful? In this entertaining, fascinating, and confronting session, Paul will share with you the best practical and creative ideas to take more, better, and smarter initiatives to significantly raise the bar.
Based on deep knowledge and extensive experience in the practical business applications of behavioural psychology, neuroscience and, especially, common sense. You’ll get new insights on how to achieve big goals, how to focus on the few things necessary for business and professional success and how to rapidly build high performance habits for you and your team.
During the expert session, Paul Rulkens engages the audience through interactive exercises using the Mentimeter app, a Q&A session, and collaborative discussions in the chat function. Paul shares practical ideas on becoming more effective by discussing the Razor Edge concept and three building blocks of high performance: clarity, focus, and execution.
Participants write down their most important goals for their organization as an exercise, encouraging communication and alignment within the group. Paul introduces powerful techniques such as strategic quitting, delegation, and focusing on one's highest and best use of time to improve overall performance.
Applying tools such as the 30-second goal exercise and the 10 goal exercise can help achieve clarity in both personal and organizational contexts by revealing subconscious focuses and aligning goals.
Strategically quitting non-essential commitments, defining goals, and crossing the "Valley of Death" are essential steps to improving focus and achieving ambitious projects.
Adopting habits such as eating your frog, managing inbox effectively, and applying the 2-minute rule can significantly boost productivity and overall performance.
In this expert session, Paul Rulkens, an internationally recognized author and advisor on high performance, shares practical insights on becoming more effective in both personal and professional contexts. Paul begins the discussion by introducing the concept of small differences consistently applied leading to significant improvements, also known as the Razor Edge concept. He outlines three building blocks of high performance: clarity, focus, and execution.
Clarity is crucial in achieving personal and organizational success, according to Paul. He discusses the importance of having a clear vision and connecting with stakeholders to make that vision a reality.
Paul then explores the concept of high performance organizations, those capable of consistently achieving big goals with minimal effort, and asks participants to share their perspectives on where they believe their organization falls in terms of high performance.
Paul emphasizes the significance of clearly defining goals for individuals and teams as a means of improving overall performance. He introduces a 30-second goal exercise as an effective tool for clarifying personal goals, revealing what one's subconscious focus is.
Paul also suggests using this exercise to test and create alignment among team members during meetings.
Next, Paul discusses the importance of focus and introduces the concept of "the Valley of Death," emphasizing the need to embrace strategic quitting by letting go of non-essential commitments to move forward effectively. He then shares his insights on focusing on the highest and best use of one's time, which can significantly boost productivity and contribute to team success.
Paul also touches upon the significance of passion in achieving high performance as it drives individuals to create value and improve their skills. He shares an example of delegation – giving someone else a task that you find challenging but they excel at, allowing both parties to build on their strengths and ultimately contribute to team success.
Paul encourages focusing on small decisions and habits that can make a significant impact in improving performance, such as managing your inbox separately from your action list, implementing the two-minute rule, and breaking Parkinson's law. By making these changes consistently, individuals and teams can significantly boost their productivity and reach new heights of success.
The session concludes with Paul discussing the seventh habit for high performance: eating your frog. This metaphor encourages individuals to tackle their greatest fear or challenge first thing in the morning, making the rest of the day more productive and enjoyable. Paul emphasizes that facing one's fears leads to progress and success.
Throughout this expert session, Paul covers various aspects of high performance, focusing on the importance of small differences consistently applied, clarifying personal goals, maintaining focus, and executing effectively. He offers a toolkit containing ten powerful tools designed to help individuals and teams become "Unstoppable goal Achievers."
Paul concludes by challenging each attendee to identify their "frog" for the next day and begin implementing this strategy for improved productivity and success.
From the survey every participant gets when the session ends, in their own words.
Great lecture, very inspiring and many useful tools! Thank you!
Thank you very much Paul for this excellent presentation. Everything was very interesting, and I really enjoyed the interactivity with the questions. Great job!
Absolutely amazing speaker, great voice modulation and presentation skills. Best thing I've learned was the writing down 10 things each morning and evening
Awesome speaker, awesome performance, great to watch, many useful thoughts and ideas shared during the stream. Thank you!
All about business tactics which can be useful in my daily life too. Happy to learn and all set ready to implement these. Thank you PAUL RULKENS for this INSPIRING EVENT. Thanks, and Regards, TEJASWINI BATHALA
My challenge was (is) with a focus. I've learnt some great techniques how to improve that. Advanced strategies for HP execution was a brilliant list because it's a collection of various techniques/principles in 1. Many thanks!
Superb presentation and delivery. Thought provoking and relevant in my day to day work. Really enjoyed this. Thank you.
Really well done, Mr. Rillend is an outstanding speaker
It is interactive, and the block above says exactly how for this session. Nobody has to speak up who does not want to: the chat and the polls carry most of it, and the questions can come in anonymously.
How do successful people, teams, and organisations become even more successful? In this entertaining, fascinating, and confronting session, Paul will share with you the best practical and creative ideas to take more, better, and smarter initiatives to significantly raise the bar. It is built for a general working audience: no prior knowledge is assumed, and people who already know the subject get the research and the practical side rather than an introduction.
A workshop. The description of this session says so itself: the hour includes exercises and activities that participants do, not only an expert speaking. It still runs live and online, for as many colleagues as you want to invite.
Paul Rulkens is one of the experts we auditioned ourselves, and we produce every session so we see how each one lands. Participants rate this session 4.4 out of 5, across 956 responses, and rate Paul personally 4.6 out of 5.
It runs 45 min / 15 min: the talk, then live questions. All you do is pick a date. We brief Paul, produce the session, host and moderate it, run the Q&A, and send you the report within an hour of the end.
A team, a department, an employee network or every single employee at once, with no cap and no per-seat price. It runs inside your own Microsoft Teams, Zoom or Google Meet, or on a branded page we build. No integration, no login, no company device or e-mail.
The session is delivered in English, Dutch. You can add high accuracy live subtitles in 8, 16 or 24 languages, so everyone follows in their own. That is a paid option, priced by the number of languages you need.
No, and that is by design. There is nothing to install, nothing to integrate and no connection to your systems, so there is nothing for IT to validate: we join your own Teams, Zoom or Meet as a guest speaker, or we host a page and your people open a link. No software, no accounts, and no data of yours that we can reach. It is why hundreds of companies, among them some of the largest technology and financial firms in the world, were able to start within a day.
We never receive or hold personal data about your employees. Because the session runs in your own environment, attendance and identity stay with you, and what we report back is aggregated: numbers, ratings and survey answers, not people. That is also why IT approval usually takes minutes rather than weeks.
You keep the recording and can share it internally. You also get attendance over time, participant ratings for the content and the speaker, the survey answers, and the topics your people asked for next.
