Bob Ash founded his company, Life Lessons, in 1995. Since then, he has provided training to over 1,000 organizations and businesses, numbering over 280,000 people. Prior to 1995, Bob served in several different positions in education. He was a janitor, teacher, principal and superintendent of schools. He also played a few years of professional baseball.

Bob created Life Lessons to ensure that companies, businesses, organizations and schools would have the chance to offer their employees the sort of presentation that would be helpful and memorable. Each Life Lessons event is tailored to meet the needs of the individual client.

Bob's keynote presentations and seminars train, inform and motivate on a wide variety of management and organizational behavior topics.

In his presentations, Bob Ash strives to provide people with practical, solid information, to challenge them to look at their own behaviors to see if any need adjusting and to provide a learning experience that is enjoyable to attend. Bob thinks laughter should be a part of every presentation, as well as practical ideas and tools to improve what it is we do in life.

• Managing Difficult People and Issues : We all come in contact with difficult people - some of them may even be our co-workers. So, how do we manage to deal with these individuals in a positive and effective manner? This presentation will answer that question by examining proactive behaviors that create the best climate possible to reduce frustrations that may lead to difficult people and issues. We will also look at how to handle situations that cannot be avoided.
  
  
• Leadership from the Heart : Our heart triggers our emotions and feelings. It serves as the single most powerful source of human energy and offers us a wellspring of intuitive wisdom. This feedback from the heart is what provides an inner compass for our lives and careers, guides us to unexpected possibilities and may even save us or our workplace from disaster. In this highly interactive workshop, we will center on three main aspects of Leadership from the Heart: Earning the Right to Lead, Building a Positive Work Climate and Understanding Primal Leadership and Emotional Intelligence.
  
  
• Change is Inevitable, Growth is Optional : Change is constantly occurring both inside and outside our workplaces and individual lives. Our challenge is to understand the change process, while also managing the change as pro-actively as possible. Change is, indeed, inevitable. However, our way of dealing with the change is a choice. If we can manage the change pro-actively whenever possible and deal with it openly - no matter when we are faced with it - then our choice regarding change can be growth.
