Update on Events

I haven’t been so great at keeping everyone up to date on all my travels and events, so here’s a quick run down on what I’ve been up to this month…

Wednesday, August 6th:  The Jobing.com Job Fair held at the University of Phoenix Stadium

Comments about the Event:

On Wednesday, August 6th, I had the opportunity to speak to about 70 HR professionals at the Jobing.com job fair held at the University of Phoenix Stadium. These folks were gearing up for over 10,000 expected attendees. My message was to help them focus on finding superstars and being more strategic in the HR process.  Today’s economy requires that HR professionals build and utilize their network to help their organizations grow.  No longer can they be just administrators. 

Saturday, August 9th: Global Spectrum manages the University of Phoenix Stadium where the NFL team Arizona Cardinals play. This employee rally was intended to inspire employees to provide an excellent service experience to every patron of their facility.

Comments about the Event:

This event was off the hook! Global Spectrum is a company that gets it. I felt like a rock star on the huge stage in the University of Phoenix Stadium. This group was one of the most responsive groups I’ve ever encountered.  If only customer service could be measured by volume. These employees know how to jam to the beat of service! 

Friday, August 9th:  The Premier of the Infomercial – Mind Boost in Minutes  

Comments about the Event:

Mind Boost In Minutes is Hot! A few weeks ago I was asked to participate as an expert for an infomercial product that literally improves your mind, focus ability, recall capability and more.  I learned how to correctly pronounce the term “Nero plasticity”. A few days ago, we all got the opportunity to preview the commercial, which will be airing nationally beginning August 19th. Our mind is the most powerful instrument we have, and now we have a way to improve it. Go to www.mindboostinminutes.com. The founders of Mind Boost also decided to promote my book, Focused Synergy as an up sale. That’s huge!

Monday, August 11th:  The Nightly Igniter’s meeting

Comments about the Event:

You never know who you will be able to help, but if you’re conscious of it, magical things can happen. My weekly Igniters meetings are always unbelievable. It’s interesting to see what comes out of them, as it is our goal to network with the purpose of helping each other and also find ways to help our community. A few years ago, I was booked to speak at a conference in Philly. Fast forward 5 years later, the client that booked me kept up with my speaking engagement and came to hear me speak locally. Little did I know that as she sat in the front row listening to me, she was battling cancer. As it turns out, she was planning to visit her family for the last time and then return to Phoenix. Unfortunately she was unable to travel back due to her deteriorating health. I decided to help fulfill a request and ask my Igniters if they would assist in helping sending her son and her best friend back for a visit. They agreed to help. Thank you to all Igniters–the great folks that contributed yet have never even met this woman. This weekend a son will see his mom because of you.
