The Core Idea of the Complaint Free World Keynote

G.R.I.P.E.

HOW TO TURN COMPLAINERS INTO COLLABORATORS

In this engaging, inspiring, and humorous presentation, you’ll discover how to recognize the motivation behind complaints and, most importantly, how to redirect these negative complaints into positive collaboration. 
Most people deal with dozens of complaints every single day leaving them feeling drained, burned out, and emotionally ragged.
The combined stress of all this complaining leads to diminished job performance, lower morale, and higher turnover costing organizations billions of dollars every single year.
It’s vital that team members learn to recognize the hidden emotional need behind complaints and deal with them rather than being side-tracked and dragged down by all the griping.
People complain for only one of 5 reasons, remembered by the acronym G.R.I.P.E.

Get attention     

Remove responsibility     

Inspire envy   

Power     

Excuse poor performance

Thousands of top companies, associations, schools, and other organizations have applied the principles taught in this presentation to improve morale, lower turnover, increase cooperation, and improve customer satisfaction.
More than just an engaging and inspiring speech, you’ll receive real-world tools, tips, and practical takeaways that will provide lasting positive change within your organization.

WILL BOWEN

Founder of the Complaint Free Movement with 15+ Million Followers Worldwide#1, International Bestselling Author, Humorous Motivational Speaker

After decades of unprecedented sales success in insurance, broadcasting, and advertising, on July 23, 2006 Will Bowen’s life changed forever...and so did the lives of tens of millions of people (so far).

On that day, Will invited 250 people to try and break the negative habit of complaining by going 21 consecutive days without uttering a single gripe.

Will gave each person a purple bracelet to be used as a mindfulness tool. His idea: switch the bracelet from wrist-to-wrist with each spoken complaint and keep switching until you go 21 consecutive days without complaining.

Will’s idea EXPLODED around the world until now, some 15 year later, the worldwide Complaint Free bracelet total is over 15 Million and climbing.
