Climbing Your Personal Mountains!

This signature keynote goes in depth with each of the VOWELS (Attitude, Energy, Effort, Integrity, Intensity, Outlook and Uniqueness). Attendees are encouraged to learn from past challenges, to reach their full potential, to deal with the "mountain goats" in their path and to begin to fully THRIVE in all aspects of their lives.

My Key Still Works - Guess It's Gonna Be A Good Day!

Talk about entertaining AND informative, this version of the VOWELS centers on change management and dealing with the uncertainty in business today. Ownership and managerial shifts can morph an employee’s focus from one of “succeeding” to only “surviving” – if this is happening in your company, you are losing productivity every day!

Next Generation Leadership: STRIVE to Connect!

Using the STRIVE acronym (Study, Think, Recognize, Invest, Value, Envision) from Brad's new book Reach YOUR Peak! Become CEO of Your Success! this topic focuses on ways to overcome connection challenges with team members or staff to create a positive and thriving leadership environment. Topics include: What is true leadership? Dealing with leadership challenges – age/gender/knowledge gaps/more

SWOT 2.0: The Ultimate Business Analysis & Planning Tool!

Your company may have done a SWOT exercise in the past (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities & Threats) but you’ve never done one like this before! Brad’s half or full day SWOT analysis helps you define each SWOT area and then develop Action Steps based on the results using the SMART Goal methodology as a guide (Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Realistic, Time Sensitive).

Are They Hearing What You Said - or Something Different?

Having trouble getting the right message across to your team, sales persons or clients? The problem is not theirs - it's yours! This topic deals with the many ways we communicate accurately and inaccurately & the workshop version includes two fun interactive elements: a table exercise about voice inflection called "Really? REALLY?!" & a volunteer based activity called the "Alien Press Conference"

Become Your Own Brand Manager!

What do others really think about you? When someone describes you, are you sure you know what they are saying? Learn how to find your true strengths and form your own “brand” – not a cosmetically created version of you, but the real you that others want to know, do business with, and trust! This topic is spot on for sales organizations, entrepreneurs, and those in direct sales of all types.
