Successful people are willing to do things that the unsuccessful are not. They have developed successful habits. They may involve customer prospecting, having a positive attitude, or staying focused around important issues weekly.

Here are some of the top bad habits that I find in the workplace:

Not returning calls
Having to always be right
Being late for meetings
Talking too much
Not listening
Passing the buck
Not giving praise
Negativity
Not communicating
Talking too much

What is your bad habit? You can change your habit in 21 days if you focus on it every morning.

If you do what you’ve always done, you’ll get what you’ve always gotten!

Testimonials

Our Clients Love the Professional Leadership Institute

Your team will, too! Check out some reviews from our students.

The PLI program was invaluable to our network.

The range of topics delivered, the open dialogue, experience, and examples that PLI brought to each session were outstanding and provided a path for our Franchisees and Managers to look at leadership, coaching, and connecting with their teams in a new light. Many have implemented these strategies in their bakeries and have seen immediate results.

Highly recommend to help your team move forward

We have locations around BC and Alberta, so getting people on the same page can be very difficult... Until now. Our entire management team and location managers take the same great courses and then meet monthly online with our coach to apply it to our situation. People are engaged, the courses are excellent, we love our coach, and we are all learning together!

Jason Fawcett

President, Kelson Group

The result has been a transformation of our culture.

We decided to implement PLI's strategies across the country in over 150 locations and over 3500 employees. The result has been a transformation of our culture. People's lives have been positively impacted - professionally and personally. Morale is high and sales and profits are up as a result.

We’ve learned how to fix ongoing personnel issues once and for all

The roadmap laid out set our business up to quintuple in sales. We've learned how to fix ongoing personnel issues once and for all, attract top talent, and spend our time focused on results, not internal staffing problems. I highly recommend PLI to you - it's worked for us!

John DeJong

Satisfied Client

I had no idea that running a business could be this fun!

In less than 18 months of working with Trevor, he has transformed my business from being average to exceptional, where mediocrity is not acceptable, where being great is standard. Working with PLI has allowed me to realize my dream of not simply owning a job, but owning a business.

Our culture has taken major steps forward this year

Our culture has taken major steps forward this year with Trevor’s help. He is funny, relatable, and his tools are very very practical and have helped us focus and upgrade our teams throughout our retail network. Trevor recently spoke to an employee group, and one person remarked, “I could listen to Trevor all day.” We would highly recommend Trevor.

Stan Pridham

Founder, KMS Tools

The results have been remarkable

At first, we resisted, “This just won’t work with a law firm.” But we persisted and the results have been remarkable: our client base and profits have steadily improved, and staff engagement and morale is the healthiest its ever been.

Doug Lester

Partner, RDM Lawyers

Helped our fast-growing business become what it is today

I've experienced PLI's approach first hand and it's been crucial to sustaining our growth. I can't imagine a business that wouldn't benefit greatly from his help.

Brian Antenbring

Founder, TEEMA

Provided practical ways to make positive changes

Trevor was incredibly well-received by the entire organization. He was able to articulate people issues that many of our franchisees were experiencing and provided them with practical ways to make positive changes. We have implemented the Star Chart tool across the organization and see it as vital to building happy, effective teams.
