WEST PALM BEACH, FL – October 7, 2009 – Emmy award winning author and motivational speaker Nance Guilmartin presented different communication intelligence tools and decision-making practices during the October 7 launch of GoLead Luminaries, an executive Leadership program offered by Nonprofits First® of Boynton Beach.
As one of the nation’s top motivational speakers for a wide variety of groups and industries, Guilmartin has seen first-hand how making rushed up decisions in a 24-7 world has cut productivity and darkened the communications in the workplace. She teaches people how to succeed in times of change, rapid growth or uncertainty.
“In a crisis—or under intense stress—even the most experienced leaders feel the urge to do something, to be seen to act. The best way to solve this problem is to pause, reflect calmly, assess the real options and then launch your solutions.” – says Guilmartin who, in her latest book, “The Power of Pause”, advises resilient leaders in every field to know that the secret of turning such situations to their advantage is not to get furious, but to “get curious”.
Guilmartin offered proven methods to make savvier choices and avoid mistakes when faced with short-on-time, attention, or temper challenges. She interacted with the participants of the GoLead Luminaries program by directly addressing issues related to the challenge of internal and external communications, including the lost art of listening that can result in a generally tense, unpleasant work environment.
