I have agreed to speak in Peloponnese, Greece at an upcoming conference in late fall. My speech is titled “The Music of Team Excellence”. I’m excited about the opportunity and will be introducing a new level of engagement for this conference. “The Music of Team Excellence” brings about unity within industries and teams. I strongly believe companies and industries will excel when excellence at all levels is their ultimate goal. During this presentation, I will be focusing on the aspects of continuous improvement for both individual and team, and will introduce a new level of engagement for the audience. It will indeed be a musical journey that universally connects all.

Tuesday, July 12th, 2011Moving From Referral to Advocate
Friday, June 3rd, 2011How do you get your clients to want to sing about you? Referrals are great, but advocates take action.
In order to build advocates, your relationship with a client must be enriched with sustenance and motivation. It goes well beyond just doing what you say you are going to do. To achieve a level where a customer wants to be your advocate, you must show sincere interest in them. You must build a relationship in which they believe you are truly concerned about what they may be passionate about, both personally and professionally, like a top motivational keynote speaker.
When you achieve an ability to support their passion, you’ll have an advocate for life. Customers love telling their friends when someone helps them achieve their goals…especially when it’s not expected.

Professional Keynote Speakers Inspire Today’s Businesses
Friday, November 20th, 2009Today’s corporations, non-profits, and even smaller businesses are looking for ways to motivate employees, in the hopes it improves performance. Using a professional keynote speaker has become an important part of company meetings and celebrations. That person is responsible for connecting with his audience, making his approach one that they will carry forward.
A professional motivational speaker needs to have several qualities in order to make that connection:
- A common bond. Perhaps the speaker has had a previous work experience in the corporate world, or has served on a board of major non-profit. Perhaps he has started businesses and sold them, and has immense entrepreneurial tips to share.
- A sense of humor. It doesn’t matter how skilled someone is or how well respected he is in his particular business circles. If a professional keynote speaker can’t keep the audience engaged, then nothing is gained. A sense of humor allows everyone to poke fun at their situation and lighten up. Businesses will gain employee respect when can look at this side of the fence. A sense of humor doesn’t mean the speaker should be Robin Williams, but he does need to be fun.
- An inspirational side. The professional keynote speaker needs to rally the troops, so to speak, and give them something to believe in. This gives a team something to connect with, to strive for, and to better them in. Perhaps the speaker has faced an adverse situation and learned greatly from it – someone in the company may have faced a similar situation and immediately connects. All it takes is one powerful statement to make an effect.
- A new way of thinking. The leaders of the company need to work with the professional keynote speaker to have that person add new tricks to the bag. It may be trying new technology, or new businesses techniques, but it could also be aiding the employees in thinking about the way they perform in a different light. An engaging speaker will be able to put the fire back in their bellies for personal and professional improvement.
A company of any size should consider the power a professional keynote speaker at their next corporate gathering. While the business leader may be a dynamic person on their own, a fresh set of words with audience interaction is sometimes the best medicine to keeping a company on track.
