THE NEW VIRTUAL VERSIONS OF OUR SOLUTIONS

We’re thrilled that the in-person versions of SLAP solutions have earned a worldwide reputation for their unique, extraordinary impact. Like you, we hadn’t planned on the Age of Human Contact screeching to a halt in our lifetime and look forward to its resurgence. In the meantime, we have spent many months redeveloping our solutions for virtual delivery.

The SLAP team that developed the original versions has built these virtual versions, with lots of input/interference from Stan Slap. They are based on the same unique IP. They retain the same focus on measurable business outcomes and transfer of competency, the same big epiphanies, the same actionable steps. And they remain immaculately empathetic to the real and surreal world of a manager. Our facilitation team has been certified in the new versions, so they’ll be presented to your managers with the same skill.

We are confident that the virtual versions are of the ridiculously high standard set for the in-person versions.

 

YOU MUST REMEMBER THIS

Don’t look forward. Look backward.

There are two things we do know for certain. The first is that these tough times won’t last forever. The second is that the story of how you stood up to them will. You’re going to be living with that story for a long time. It’s time to start writing it so that it ends the way you want it to.

What can be lost. What must be found.

To be trusted about what matters most: Let this be the defining grace of your company. What matters most now is your humanity—your empathy, compassion, and unbiased unity—and how that drives decisions affecting those both inside and outside of your company. It is time to swap customer centricity for human centricity.

Successfully dealing with a seismic shift to your business often requires systemic changes but always requires unyielding adherence to your deepest purpose and principles. Some of this has to be calculated to be operationalized, but the catalyst should be to just do the right thing, for all of the right reasons. During this fierce storm, this is what you have, and this is what will save you. Your company can lose many things during these tough times, including its mind for a while, and still recover through the will of your own culture and your customers. But you cannot lose your soul.

What you do now will be remembered. Who you are now will be remembered longer.
