The 3-1-3 Method: Your Business in as Few as 3-words

The 3-1-3 Method is a proven way to help all employees better understand how to communicate in a shorter amount of time. This entertaining and engaging keynote will help your employees discover simple and powerful messaging. Extend the keynote to include a workshop, and watch your employees communication skills and confidence dramatically change, in real-time.

Ditching the Act— How to Use Your Failures, Mistakes, and Vulnerabilities to Fuel Successful Leaders

People want to relate to people, and if your leadership team is only showcasing their success, they simply won’t be able to connect with their direct reports. Learn a different approach to showcasing the idealized version of yourself that you may be portraying. Authenticity in the workplace is more than being real. It is revealing who we really are.

Innovating in Higher Education: How Higher Ed Can (and Should) Leverage Social Media

We no longer live in a world where colleges can simply send an email to all students and expect engagement. Tomorrow's educational leaders need to be more visible and willing to engage with students where they are at, and in an authentic way.
