Mary Miller will motivate WE Lead Alumni to pursue their dreams
Cincinnati, OH – October 24, 2011 – JANCOA CEO Mary Miller harnesses the power of The Dream Manager to reach her personal and professional goals every day. And as a business leader and a mentor, she strives to empower those around her to do the same.
Miller will share a presentation on JANCOA’s Dream Manager Program at the WE Lead Leadership Development for Women event on October 27th at 8:00am at the American Red Cross in Cincinnati. Alumni from all three Chamber leadership programs, Leadership Cincinnati, C-Change and WE Lead, will have the opportunity to discover the lost connection between the work they do every day and the dreams they have for their future.
“I love being around people who are excited about their future and who have the energy and willingness to pursue their dreams in life,” says Miller. “No matter who you are, what you do or how much money you make, everyone needs a dream.”
The Dream Manager Program began shortly after Mary and her husband Tony were faced with the problems of high turnover and low morale. After considerable research about what contributes to happiness in the workplace, they discovered that the key to motivation wasn’t necessarily the promise of a bigger paycheck or title, but rather the fulfillment of crucial personal dreams. Mary embraced this discovery and transformed JANCOA into a desirable work environment that inspired the bestselling book The Dream Manager by Matthew Kelly.
This revolutionary employee benefits program encourages employees to think about their long-term dreams and pushes them to take the necessary steps needed to achieve those dreams. The Dream Manger initiative has reduced JANCOA’s turnover rate from 360 percent to 45 percent.
“Mary genuinely cares about people and encourages everyone to succeed,” says Martha DaSilva, a board member for WE Lead. “I am not surprised that her company incorporated the Dream Manager concept to ensure that everyone at JANCOA succeeds in life regardless of occupation. I truly admire Mary for her leadership style, energy for life, and for being so inspirational.”
