The Dream Manager
- The Book
A business parable about how companies can achieve remarkable
results by helping their employees fulfill their dreams.
Managing people is difficult. With disengagement and turnover on the
rise, many managers are scratching their heads wondering what to do.
It’s not that we don’t dream of being great managers, it’s just that
we haven’t found a practical and efficient way to do it. Until now…
The fictional company in this remarkable book is grappling with real
problems of high turnover and low morale--so the managers begin to
investigate what really drives the employees. What they discover is
that the key to motivation isn’t necessarily the promise of a bigger
paycheck or title, but rather the fulfillment of crucial personal
dreams. They also learned that people at every level need to be
offered specific kinds of help and encouragement—or our dreams will
forever remain just dreams as we grow dissatisfied with our lives
and jobs.
Beginning with his important thought that a company can only become
the-best-version-of-itself to the extent that its employees are
becoming better-versions-of-themselves, Matthew Kelly explores the
connection between the dreams we are chasing personally and the way
we all engage at work. Tackling head-on the growing problem of
employee disengagement, Kelly explores the dynamic collaboration
that is unleashed when people work together to achieve company
objectives and personal dreams.
The power of The Dream Manager is that simply becoming aware of the
concept will change the way you manage and relate to people
instantly and forever. What’s your dream?

The Dream Manager Program
- For Companies
The Dream Manager Program helps organizations build dynamic teams, nurture
talent, increase employee engagement and tame turnover. Offered over a period of three years, this program
helps employees at all levels within an organization identify both personal
and professional dreams and ambitions. These dreams and ambitions are the
driving force in our lives. Identifying them and harnessing their energy is
the key to greater personal fulfillment and the achievement of organizational goals.
Most people don’t come to work because they love your organization. They see
their work as a means to an end. For too long we have believed that the end
people sought was money. But, in fact, what we seek is the fulfillment of our
personal hopes, dreams, and ambitions. Far beyond the mere rhetoric that has
dominated corporate culture, The Dream Manager Program tangibly demonstrates
that an organization is interested and invested in the happiness and future of its people.
Whether you want to implement the program for your entire workforce or pilot
the program with a handful of your employees, Floyd Consulting can customize
a solution for your organization.

The Dream Manager Program
- For
Individuals
At the core, one of Floyd’s services is the Dream Manager
Program. The Program is designed to help participants identify their
dreams in the following twelve areas: character, physical,
emotional, intellectual, spiritual, psychological, material,
professional, financial, creative, adventure, and legacy. While
Floyd works primarily to introduce this program as part of the
culture of companies and organizations, in response to increasing
demand, we also offer the Dream Manager Program for individuals
outside of the workplace.

as an individual, please complete the inquiry form by

Dream Manager Training and Workshop Experiences
One of the most powerful ways to connect with the Dream Manager concept is through a Floyd-sponsored training event or workshop experience. During these interactive “Living The Dream” experiences you will learn more about the Dream Manager concept, how to apply it to your personal life and how to share it with your team, colleagues, clients, and family. The content is designed so that you can apply it to your own life and then teach it to others. Activities, worksheets, and ideas are all shared so that you can have a Dream Manager “toolkit” to share the concepts with others when you return from the event.
Attending a Living The Dream event with Floyd you will allow you to:
- Be able to conduct a Dream Session for your team or company
- Identify your target dreams and create action steps to achieve those dreams
- Have tools to help you guide someone else in identifying their target dreams
- Hear about how The Dream Manager concept is making a powerful impact on individuals, teams, and businesses
- Understand the key attributes for serving others as a Dream Manager
- Know what you need to do to begin implementing the Dream Manager concept in your organization or with your team
Pre-event preparation and post-event follow-up help you prepare and keep you connected to the concepts while you are working to implement your ideas. Participants also benefit from networking with other individuals and business leaders who are interested in implementing
the Dream Manager concept with their teams and businesses.
Events are scheduled at various times throughout the year. Our
next "Living The Dream" event has been scheduled for
June 18,
2010, in Chicago, Illinois. For more information or

If you are interested in having the Floyd team come to your city to conduct a public event for your business community, please contact Dan Brunnert at dbrunnert@floydconsulting.com. Additionally, the Floyd team is able to conduct a session that would be closed to the public but offered for just your company, trade association, non-profit, or chamber of commerce membership. Group discounts and event sponsorship opportunities are available if you would like to promote The Dream Manager training experience as part of your business outreach or organizational programming.
Here is what a few attendees from previous events have shared:
- "We are very excited about what The Dream Manager concepts are going to do for our company! Thanks so much for a great, energizing weekend. My team agreed that it was the most information-packed and energizing 9-5 we've ever spent. There wasn't a moment when my attention and interest wandered. Thanks!"
- "This was an invigorating, motivating, and fun experience! Thank you! Thank you!"
- "It was encouraging to see so many businesses really believing in this important program - enough to send their staff. Thank you for opening up the event to anyone. I came as an individual (not sent by my employer). I was inspired to return home and share the concepts with many in my life."
- "I loved many of the tools that you used and plan to use them with my team."
- "I was blown away by the impressive, positive, proactive, take-charge individuals that I met. WOW - a whole room full of people who are committed (not only to getting what they want) but generous
at heart to assist others in getting what other people want."
- "Excellent event. Time went by too quickly (and that's always a good sign at an event)."
- "Once again, thank you for hosting and delivering such a powerful event! I left Chicago energized and inspired! The impact is lasting. Thank you Matthew and the Floyd Team for sharing this excellent vision and inviting me and others to join the adventure."
- "It was possibly the single greatest seminar I have ever been to..."
