STAND OUT AND OWN THE ROOM EVERY TIME YOU SPEAK!
For Your High-Achieving Advisors, Leaders, & Sales Pros
It’s no longer enough to be the smartest or most skilled professional in the room. We are in the Communication Age. This means when speaking to groups, whether it’s for 1 minute or 1 hour, people will make judgments about your competency based on your speaking skills. So…If you’re an A+ Professional but a B- SPEAKER, you have a problem. The potential for someone to assume you’re also B- at your job is high. When this happens, you lose credibility, business, and the ability to impact more lives.
The good news is You can be both! An A+ Professional and an A+ Speaker!

- Discover the mistake almost every presenter makes when they open a presentation. This mistake bores the audience, decreases the number of appointments they set after their talk and reduces their overall impact.

FIRE YOUR FEAR & GROW YOUR BUSINESS!
Excuses, excuses.
When business does not go as planned it’s easy to blame results on the economy…other people…not enough time or not enough money. But where does that lead? Nowhere. For many Advisors, blame too often is a cover up for fear…and here’s the kicker — everything they want for their business — more clients, more money, more visibility — is on the other side of fear.
Which means that fear is the only thing standing between the business they have and the one they want. When they “Fire Fear,” they take control — and can finally create the business that aligns with their goals and values.
In this engaging and practical presentation, your Advisors will:
- Discover how fear and self-doubt may be sabotaging success in their business and quality of life
- Learn the mindset shift they must make about fear so they can consistently make decisions that move them forward in their business – rather than hold them back
- Learn why “feeling comfortable” may be the biggest problem they have in business right now
- Pick up a simple yet powerful daily practice that propels them out of their comfort zone and into the “success zone”

For Your Leaders
If you’re like most leaders, whether you’re in recruiting or production mode you’ve likely wondered, “How do I differentiate myself from my competition?” You know your competition is fierce and the marketplace is noisy.
To be the leader others want to follow and to avoid being seen as a commodity this question MUST be answered. Ironically many leaders are looking for answers in the wrong place. It won’t be found in new products or services but rather it lies within you!
What differentiates you from your competition is YOU; how you talk about what you do and more importantly WHY you do it. The most effective way to share your WHY is through a specific method of business storytelling.

- Learn how successful leaders are incorporating these stories into their group and 1:1 presentations with candidates and clients.
- Experience first-hand the technique for increasing likability, connection, and trust- -in 4 minutes or less.
- Pick up the step-by-step formula for crafting their own stories. This is a foundational skill every leader needs in their toolkit. It enables them to overcome skepticism and to connect immediately and authentically with their listeners’ hearts. When this happens it’s like pouring lighter fluid on your conversations, recruiting, and marketing activities!
