Leadership Speaker
Shirley Dalton Speaking Services
As I got older and more experienced, I found the speaking platform and took to it like a fish to water.
I love to chat with an audience. I love to inspire and educate my audience to go for what they want; to become better leaders and better people who create their ideal business lifestyles as well as share tips and strategies for how to have THAT conversation.
For three years, I hosted my own TV and radio shows – Business Life TV and Reclaim Your Freedom, wrote and published my own book Weekly Thoughts and contributed to three best selling books – 25 Brilliant Speakers, Empower Business Everywhere, Empowering You Transforming Lives. I’ve also been interviewed on other podcasts.

SIGNATURE TALKS
TALK 1: How to Have THAT Conversation
How to Have THAT Conversation is not just for business owners, entrepreneurs, leaders and managers. Rather, everyone in everyday situations will find themselves, at one time or another, faced with having to confront another about what we call their “unacceptable behaviour”.
How would you like to not only have the confidence to start the conversation, but have the skills to be able to handle yourself assertively and respectfully during the conversation?
In this speech, audience members will learn:
- How to initiate the conversation
- How to construct messages that are assertive not aggressive
- The number one skill you need to engage the other in resolving the issue
- How to work out who owns the problem.
Audience members will leave feeling confident and competent to assertively express their needs and successfully Have THAT Conversation.
TALK 2: How to Build Processes and Get the Best out of Your People
Perhaps you’ve been in business for a number of years and you’ve now decided you want to get structured and organised. You realise the importance of having procedures and you want to rebuild or refine your business, get ready to retire or sell your business, or maybe you’re relatively new to your industry.
Whatever your reason, if you want to know the quick and easy ways to structure and organise your business and leave with a detailed action plan you can implement immediately, you can’t afford to miss this workshop.
Having consistent processes and procedures in your business, along with clearly defined roles, gives your people and business the best chance of success without costing you more time or money.
In this 4-hour workshop you will actively work on your business. This is not just theory; you will be working on your business, applying your new skills straight away.
You will learn:
- The difference between a procedure, process and system and why you absolutely must have procedures in your business
- How to write procedures so they are easily understood and followed
- The four critical words to keep you focussed and on target
- How to easily identify tasks you can delegate or outsource
- The four questions you need to address to successfully train your people
- Why Key Performance Indicators and Key Behaviour Indicators are superior to job/role descriptions and how to create them
- The most important sentence you’ll ever need when supervising your people

Philip Smith, Hunter Financial Planning
Thanks for a great session “Have That Conversation”.
One of the best tips I got from tonight was the formula to work out ‘whose problem it is’ and how to construct a message that is more assertive to get the result I want.
I would recommend Shirley to anyone who needs to be more assertive and get what they want.
Thanks Shirley.
