Presentations

• Attitude is Everything: Many people react to a presentation on positive attitude like a dog to a vacuum cleaner, equally intrigued and repulsed.  But without exception successful people and people who have survived horrible, traumatizing events say the one thing that matters most is that ‘A’ word attitude!

  A Harvard study found that 85% of success in life and in business is attributable to your attitude.  That’s right, 85%.
  Fortunately, positive attitude is skill that can be taught.  Anyone can learn and the rewards are immeasurable.
  Businesses are constantly striving to meet vicious competition, shrinking margins and skeptical customers.  The first thing to do is teach your people the power of a positive attitude. 
  Your people need to experience “Attitude is Everything.”  The rookies need a spark and the veterans need to be rekindled.  

• Living on Purpose:  Living on Purpose reminds us that ‘Live’ is a verb.  Life is something you do, not something that happens to you. 
  The ability to live on purpose is what makes us human.  Choosing to live on purpose makes us come alive!

• Coming Full Circle - Everyone's guide to the ancient wisdom of T'ai Chi
  Coming Full Circle is a keynote presentation based on my latest book.

  You don't have to learn T'ai Chi to learn from T'ai Chi.  The T'ai Chi movements, the learning, the discipline, the aggravation . . . are full of lessons about life.  They are lessons about success, peace, persistence, spirituality, relationships, business, connections, perspective, courage . . . the list seems to be endless.  They are lessons you will apply to all aspects of your life, job, business, relationships . . . well, life.  And these are lessons that will make your life work better immediately.
  This is a deep and powerful presentation, but don't worry, I make sure to balance it with plenty of humor.

• Jump Start! "Back to what works" sales training:

  I've been selling for over 30 years and I've found that if I'm not performing the way I'd like it's because I've gotten away from the basics.

  There are three kinds of people who come to this seminar.  There is the person who's new to sales.  They're enthusiastic and hungry for sales training.  There's the veteran who, like me, knows you can always learn something new and it's always good to be reminded of basic skills that always work.  The last group is the veteran who isn't bringin' it in like he/she used to and the boss forced them to come.  They aren't lost.  We talk about this at the beginning of class and they usually come around.

  It seems that no matter how much things change, the basics of selling, prospecting, presentation, communication, handling objections and closing will always be the same.  Then there is attitude, stress, fear and motivation.

  Jump Start is a motivational keynote speech, a one day "drink with a fire hose" seminar or it can be tailored to fit your schedule.

  Give your sales team a JUMP START!

Q: What is the difference between a 'keynote' and a 'workshop?'
A: A 'keynote' presentation is basically a traditional speech.  I use the term 'keynote' to differentiate a 'speech' from a 'workshop.'  A keynote speech doesn't have to be limited to the traditional, formal 'after dinner' speech.  Interaction during the presentation is usually limited but can include Q & A or discussion afterward.  This type of presentation is typically abut 30 to 60 minutes in length.
A 'workshop' or seminar, is a training session that is much more informal.  It is typically over an hour and may be several hours in length.  There is usually quite a bit of participation by those attending.
