About the Streamline Method

As a lifelong professional swimmer, Deborah Gardner learned the power of momentum. When you dive into a 50-meter pool, you face over 660,000 gallons of water resistance. However, by using a technique called streamlining, a swimmer can reduce the force of resistance. This is so effective, swimming competitions limit this technique to the first 15 meters of a race.

Throughout her career, Deborah learned you can harness the same momentum gained by using streamlining in business—and life. Today, she speaks around the world teaching organizations how to move beyond obstacles and remove friction. The result, a proactive team that achieves goals.

Streamline Into Action

Obstacles are more than just roadblocks. They prevent a business from achieving goals. Get your team members to view change as an opportunity rather than a roadblock.

Come along for a ride as Deborah G takes you on a journey that explores the Streamline Method. With only a few simple changes, you'll learn how to reduce resistance to change, move beyond obstacles, and build a proactive team. Instead of being complacent with current level of success, what if you could convince your team that the way forward is moving beyond what they thought was achievable?

Get ready for an exhilarating interactive program that will empower participants to achieve the following outcomes:

Learn effective strategies to cultivate confidence and thrive in high-pressure environments, both personally and professionally
Discover a simple exclusive method that has been proven to yield great results with minimal resistance
Overcome complacency and embrace disruption by taking calculated risks that will enable you to achieve your goals and reach new heights
Transform the fear of failure into a powerful catalyst for elevating performance
Dominate any stumbling blocks that slow innovation and adaptation
• and embrace opportunities to move beyond them
