Dr. Jean, The Results Queen® discusses golf as a strategic business development tool. She argues that playing golf during business hours should yield tangible results, not just social networking. She approaches golf during business hours with a purposeful mindset, tracking return on investment and using a 5-step system to convert golf time into business opportunities. She advises professionals to use the 18 holes strategically: building trust, discussing challenges, presenting solutions, addressing concerns, and setting next steps. If golfers aren't generating new business, leads, or referrals within two weeks, they should either stop playing or adopt her systematic approach. Her ultimate goal is to transform golf from a passive networking activity to an active business development strategy.

Dr. Jean, the Results Queen® explores why so many organizations can’t clearly articulate their core values—and how doing so can revolutionize hiring, firing, promotions and retention. Through vivid stories from a construction-company retreat and a nursing-home staffing project, she teaches you to personify your brand (imagine your company as a guest at a dinner party), craft authentic, behavior-based values, and leverage the EOS® People Analyzer™ to score every team member against those values.

By moving beyond generic descriptors like “integrity,” interviewing and rewarding people on real-world examples of your values in action, and holding quarterly Analyzer reviews, you’ll ensure everyone lives—and grows by—what matters most to your organization.
