Resources to Help You Get Even More from Performance Talk

The story format in Performance Talk makes learning key leadership skills almost effortless. In an evening or a plane ride, you can learn things that will make an immediate and dramatic difference in your one-on-one leadership and help guide your professional growth.

So order the book from Amazon right now. Wally learned a long time ago that he can't do book sales nearly as well as Amazon can, so he lets them sell books and he devotes his time to coaching and developing products to support the book.

As good as the book is, it's not enough. You will spend the rest of your life developing your different leadership skills and still not be done. Performance Talk can give you the framework to help you learn the most and master the most. The Performance Talk Workbook, Performance Talk Forms, and the Performance Talk Pocket Reminder Cards are a place to start.

The Performance Talk Workbook will help you structure your learning and apply to your work life so you get the most from the book. The workbook comes to you as an e-book, printable on standard paper. There are over 100 workbook pages and more than sixty Action Item/Exercises.

Order the Performance Talk Workbook for $14.95 per copy.

The Performance Talk Forms are designed to help you become more efficient and effective at the things one-on-one leaders must do. Here's what you get.

  • Two forms to help you keep track of important information about your people.
  • A form to help you analyze supervisory situations.
  • Three supervisory interview planning forms.
  • An Incident Record Form to help you maintain good documentation of your subordinate's behavior.
  • A Development or Discipline Interview Record Form to help you maintain good documentation of your meetings with subordinates and your performance agreements and follow-up.
  • A Supervisory Leadership After-Action Critique Form to help you improve your supervisory interview skills
  • A Key Tasks Worksheet to help you analyze the key tasks your people must do and how good each subordinate is at each task.
  • A Control Continuum Worksheet to help you determine how much control to allow a subordinate on a particular assignment.

Every form has a companion instructional version that shows you how to use the form in your own situation.

Order the Performance Talk Forms for $9.95.

Take your learning with you with the Performance Talk Pocket Reminder Cards.

Even if you use the workbook and take good notes, you may not have them with you when you need them. That's why participants in Wally's training asked for pocket reminder cards. These handy cards work with Avery's form 5388 to create handy 3 X 5 cards with reminders of key learning points. These cards fit easily into your pocket, briefcase or desk drawer so they're always there when you need reminders. Print out several sets if you want so you can keep a set wherever you may need it.

Order the Performance Talk Pocket Reminder Cards for $9.95.
