A One-Day Workshop to Strengthen How You Lead, Respond, and Perform

Join us in Pittsburgh, PA for a high-impact, interactive The R Factor® workshop led by Focus 3 Consultants Tony DeCenzo and Jason Makrinos. This one-day experience is designed for individuals and small teams who want more than inspiration. It is built for people who want practical tools to think better, respond with greater discipline, and perform more consistently in the moments that matter most.

You will learn how to apply E+R=O (Event + Response = Outcome) and build the six disciplines of The R Factor® so you can lead yourself and others with greater clarity, consistency, and purpose. Whether you are navigating pressure, change, conflict, setbacks, or opportunity, this workshop will help you strengthen the mindset and behavior skills that drive better outcomes.

What Is the R Factor®?

It is not the events you face that determine your results. It is how you respond.

The R Factor® is the discipline of managing your response to life’s challenges, pressure, and opportunity. It is both a mindset and a skill set. It gives you a practical framework for being intentional when the situation is difficult, the stakes are high, or the moment demands your best.

E+R=O reminds us of a simple truth: You do not control the event. You do control your response.

At work, at home, and in your relationships, the quality of your response shapes the quality of your outcomes. The way you manage your R affects your decision-making, your influence, your leadership, and your ability to stay disciplined when it matters most.

The 6 Disciplines of The R Factor®:

R1: Press Pause:
Get off autopilot and gain clarity before you respond.

R2: Get Your Mind Right:
Choose a productive mindset before default thinking takes over.

R3: Step Up:
Take the action the situation requires.

R4: Adjust & Adapt:
Respond with flexibility when conditions change.

R5: Make a Difference:
Use your behavior to positively impact people and culture.

R6: Build Skill:
Train intentionally so you can improve consistently over time.
