On-Demand Workshops

Design Thinking

The Design Thinking Workshop elevates both Human Performance and Leadership by strengthening The Prosperity Trait®—the core driver of consistent, high-level execution. Participants identify and overcome hidden barriers to performance, align their behaviors with strategic goals, and apply data-driven insights to maximize organizational ROI. Across ten on-demand modules, leaders build system-based thinking that multiplies team performance while enhancing their own clarity, resilience, and influence. The workshop develops practical skills that streamline workflows, sharpen decision-making, reduce friction and fatigue, foster adaptive leadership, and spark innovation. By training the brain’s goal-directed systems, participants achieve sustained focus and deliver exceptional results under pressure. The outcome: leaders who not only perform at a higher level themselves but who drive measurable gains across their organizations.

Producers

The Producers Workshop’s seven modules empower individuals in high-pressure roles to unlock their potential by teaching them how to turn it loose. The program’s powerful tools and strategies enable participants to make smarter decisions, learn faster, and adapt seamlessly to new challenges. As a result, they consistently execute strategy with precision, reducing variability in performance. Rather than focusing solely on a static characteristic like IQ, The Producers Workshop develops dynamic, practical intelligence—the real-world know-how to get things done with ease. By strengthening The Prosperity Trait®, participants achieve a state of effortless concentration that doesn't drain self-control, freeing up energy and allowing them to confidently pursue their most ambitious goals. This optimal state of human performance is called Trust.

Executive Golf Workshops

Execution separates strategy from results — whether on the golf course or in the boardroom. Sound strategy is necessary, but consistent execution depends on disciplined decision-making, pressure management, and the ability to apply systems under constraint.

The LTR Executive Golf Workshops are designed for leaders who want to strengthen execution in both environments. Over one to three days, participants develop practical tools that enhance focus, improve decision discipline, and accelerate learning — while lowering golf scores through structured, on-course application.

The workshop integrates performance psychology with course management principles. Participants learn to identify friction, apply structured adjustments, and make better decisions under pressure. These same mechanisms translate directly into business contexts, improving productivity and consistency in execution.

On the course, participants average a four-stroke improvement. In business environments where the full development architecture is implemented, clients demonstrate measurable financial improvement relative to baseline performance.

The Executive Golf Workshops provide tools — not philosophy — grounded in a proven methodology that enables participants to translate disciplined execution from the course to the enterprise. Participants leave with a repeatable execution framework they can apply immediately — in tournament settings, in leadership roles, and in high-stakes strategic decisions.

Introductory Workshop and Keynote Seminar

NextGen High Potentials

Talent is the lifeblood of every organization, with High Potential (HIPO) employees at the epicenter. HIPOs, with their unique abilities, not only bring significant value but also create a critical competitive advantage. However, research shows that 73% of HIPO programs fail to deliver business outcomes, and 75% of HIPOs seek new opportunities within their first year of employment. This indicates that HIPOs are more likely to blend in rather than stand out. The greatest organizational inefficiency is the gap between performance and potential. LTR bridges this gap by connecting HIPO development directly to business outcomes, ultimately increasing organizational value through innovation and thriving human performance. Tell me more…

The Hidden Costs of Human Nature

Every manager has hidden costs baked into their enterprise, which are the unforeseen expenses of doing business. These costs range from trivial, like maintenance, to significant, like legal fees. This seminar teaches managers to expose hidden costs and convert them into newfound revenue. Human Nature is the most expensive hidden cost; therefore, Human Nature is the most profitable opportunity. How do we prevail over an insurmountable force like Human Nature? Individual and collective Prosperity Trait Index© results reveal the Hidden Costs of Human Nature. Managers apply tools and strategies to reduce the natural defects of an organization's collective Prosperity Trait, expediting growth, increasing revenue, improving productivity, and expanding profit margins.

Consulting Sessions

Comprehensive and In-Depth

Consulting Sessions are an opportunity for boards, management teams, and leaders to take a deep dive into The Prosperity Trait®, which is prohibitive within the confines of workshops and seminars. These informal, free-form discussions address management issues and human capital challenges designed for one-on-one exchanges and small-group interactions. Dr. Stephen Long shares the relationships between The Prosperity Trait® theoretical foundations and practical applications with high concepts and real-life situations. Whether it’s the obstacles leaders face in any transformation or why employees lack engagement, Consulting Sessions provides clarity of the who, when, where, why, and how.

"I am the head of the Mergers & Acquisition Practice at the Faegre Baker Daniels law firm, which has over 700 legal and consulting professionals worldwide. For each of the past 13 years, our law firm has hosted a day-long M&A Conference that is attended by leading M&A professionals from around the country and the world. This year, we had more than 550 attendees, which was a record. Dr. Stephen Long was a featured professional on our panel “Assessing and Improving Management Before and After the Deal.” Steve did an excellent job, especially as it relates to various analytical tools and techniques that can be applied in this area. He also shared many interesting general insights based on his many years of experience. I would highly recommend Steve as a speaker or panelist on a topic like this."

Bruce Engler, Former Head of M&A - Faegre Baker Daniels Law Firm

"Dr. Stephen Long is a visionary that uses real-life experiences to inspire and motivate individuals to succeed. His leadership principles guide us not through intimidation but through what really motivates us to the core. Ordinary people have used them to achieve extraordinary accomplishments. I was able to witness Stephen in action speaking to a group of individuals who at the beginning were skeptical but by the end were nodding their heads in agreement and walked away with the knowledge to lead their teams to success. I highly recommend Stephen as a coach, mentor, and speaker. He is extremely professional, well-spoken, and a pleasure to work with. If you are looking for someone to help bring real, lasting change to your organization - look no further."

Sara Luchsinger, VP of Organizational Development - SEEK Careers/Staffing

“We bring in many speakers for our employees, but Steve was different. He was able to get to the heart of the issue for our diverse workforce very quickly. Every person walked out differently than when they when came in. Steve has a way to touch people although they all face different challenges. Throughout the presentation he was funny, but more importantly, he completely captured the audience - their concentration was palpable. It was an engaging presentation and I’m sure we’ll bring Dr. Steve Long back."

Stephen Luongo, Former Senior VP - Marsh USA

"Dr. Stephen Long was instrumental in several positive initiatives for our company. First of all, he presented a workshop and explained his Human Capital Programs to everyone - not only explaining it but sharing how everyone could put it to work immediately. From that alone, we began to see immediate benefits. Even more important was this: In our high-turnover industry, our turnover of high-performance people fell to almost zero! I have much for which I can thank Steve. I would recommend him to anyone seeking help for their company and its people."

Ray Bedingfield, Former CEO - The Woodmoor Group

"Dr. Long’s fun, engaging workshop empowered students to reflect on their own character and encouraged their self-development, one of the most important lessons in leadership."

Cindy Lopez, Executive Director - the University of Oklahoma JC Penney Leadership Center

"Dr. Stephen Long spoke at a conference of ours and delivered a very unique and interesting presentation that captured our audience’s attention the entire time. This is the type of subject matter you don’t get exposure to every day. It was very valuable for our top producers which were in attendance."

Chris Hamm, President and COO - Independent Financial Partners

"Dr. Long's revolutionary approach to performance-based leadership is inspiring, yet practical. Our members were provided with tools and strategies that they applied the next day."

Betty Hepp, Director of Conferences - Investment Management Consultants Association

"Dr. Stephen Long has presented several keynotes and workshops for our company. He provides a clear outline of points and a super concluding review. Every program was different, but each was clearly and logically presented. Each one was a 10! Steve does a great job of repeating a point more than once using different examples and the group interaction is great. My people have gotten a framework for making real changes in their thought patterns, habits, and internal processes. Through Steve, they realized that they were allowing external things to control them and in so doing, they were able to change their behavior and ultimately improve their performance. The best thing that I learned as a leader was why certain people strive for excellence while others are satisfied with mediocrity. Those who are high performers are willing to do the hard things that others refuse to do. Through Steve, I finally have the leadership tools that turn mediocre people into superstars."

David Smith, CEO - Intervest International Equities Corporation

"Dr. Stephen Long gave us more than we ever expected. His concepts and strategies are truly unique and provided our members with a skill set that can be used on a daily basis."

Jeff Leavitt, Former President - Colorado Technical Recruiters Network

“Steve is ahead of the competition right now. His combination of behavioral analyses, golf psychology tools, and game planning is far superior to what’s offered to the corporate market. Whether your goal is to break 70 or 100, Steve’s workshop will help you on the course and in your business.”

Dr. Bob Rotella - Author, Golf is Not a Game of Perfect

“After attending Steve’s workshop, I played in my club’s match and beat my handicap by six strokes! And we won the match! His course management strategies have also helped my business. Steve’s workshop is well worth the time and money.”

Joe Bencivenga, CFO - Amore Sports Management

“The fact that we won our first 54-hole tournament as a team and had our first Air Force Academy individual player win a tournament can be attributed to, in great part, the time Dr. Long spent with my team. Overall, our team performance improved by over 20 strokes per tournament and team leadership improved significantly.”

Gene Miranda, Head Golf Coach - US Air Force Academy, Retired, Member, Golf Hall of Fame

“I recently heard Steve speak at an M&A conference in Minneapolis. Steve’s succinct message demonstrated his expertise. I left yearning to hear more from Steve.”

Bob Kroll, Kroll Capital
