Topics
The Business of Belonging– We buy from people we like. In a world where an abundance of options is the norm, smart companies are learning how to align their products and services with specific communities of aligned value. Think Reebok with Spartan Race and Disney’s ESPN, Marvel, and beyond. How do sales and marketing organizations align their products and services with these communities? What does it take to earn the sale? And how does this barely-tapped segment of the economy hold the promise of your company’s success? (Good for sales, marketing, and business events.)
Belong: Energize Your Teams By Improving Alignment – Studies are showing that employees rarely rate “money” as the reason they stay engaged with an organization. Yes, monetary compensation is important, but they want more. They want to feel that their work and presence actually contributes to the greater good, as well as the benefit of the organization. One of the biggest challenges facing leaders today is the inability to aggregate the untapped potential and value that exists within an organization. Learn how to earn far better results, faster response, and stronger motivation by helping your teams align and belong. (Good for leadership, management, sales and marketing).
The Value of the Networked Organization – Research and technology has caught up to what we’ve always believed: that individual contributions are one thing, but a networked employee brings more resources to bear on solutions for the organization, reports a higher level of potential happiness, and delivers many more tangible benefits than a similarly skilled but non-networked individual. How do we prepare for the always-on, fast-touch, let-me-take-a-selfie world and maximize benefits, value, and contributions in this space? (Ideal for HR organizations, leadership events, and management too.)
Winning in the Choose Your Own Adventure Economy – We used to try to sell to everyone, but times have changed. Finding the specific people we can best serve now outweighs the intent to reach the masses, but that means we must build even deeper connections, and do more with them. How have technological shifts empowered more selective marketing, selective selling, and frictionless buying? What can you do to take advantage of these trends? What will your business do to breathe life and purpose into all these new digital technologies so that you’re building business and not just bleating into the void? (Ideal for sales and marketing events, as well as leadership events.)
Your Topic Wasn’t Covered? – I speak to leaders and organizations daily, ranging from 6th grade classrooms (my aunt asked me) to corporate sales and marketing events, to 10,000 person mega summits. When I’m not onstage, I’m learning from some of the most amazing minds, everyone from US Navy SEAL Commanders Mark Divine and Rorke Denver to US Olympic gold medalist Joe Jacobi to the first female F14 Tomcat fighter pilot Carey Lohrenz and many more. If your topic isn’t explicitly here, or if you’re uncertain, just contact us and I’ll be sure to work it through with you.
The Process of Booking Me
It’s pretty darned easy, actually. Thanks to Ron Hood, my special projects and events coordinator, you’ll find that he’s very thorough and that you’ll have the best possible experience with me. We have a simple contact form that Ron checks and replies to quite promptly. He knows most of the questions you’re going to ask, and if there’s one he can’t answer, I get back pretty quickly to keep the flow going. Simple and effective.
What You Should Know
If you really don’t know me yet, it’s tricky, I admit it. You’re worried: is he professional enough? (Yes.) Will he swear on stage? (He tries not to swear on stage.) Will he honor his commitments? (Every time.) Is he entertaining? (Oh, that I am. I mean, I’m no Cirque Du Soleil, but I’m fun.) Will he stick around after his speech? (Most times! I love mingling before and after. It helps me better tune the message to who is there.) Is he fussy? (Not at all. My requirements are rather simple. A couple bottles of water, a lav mic, a clicker, and I’m on my way. No trampolines. No smoke effects. No elephants.)
Okay? So, if you want someone to speak at your event, I’m your man. I promise!
