"The human mind is not a vessel that needs to be filled but wood that merely needs to be kindled!" (Plutarch) I can show your audience that even supposedly "dry" topics can inspire an audience and why outdated presentation techniques undermine the very trust they seek to win with their data. Technical and scientific presentations all too often follow the same old tired schemes that are inefficient at actual knowledge transfer and slow down the spread of new discoveries and methods. Even commercial scientific marketing presentations regularly fall to the same pitfalls. That doesn't have to be the case. Let's "light some fires" and excite people for our discoveries and developments! Dr. Oliver Hauss, a Medical Science Trainer and Consultant with experience in both the diagnostic and pharmaceutical industries, has worked on both the local and international level. Oliver can support your training, events and medical marketing, helping both your customers and stakeholders to realize the value and importance of your offerings or your employees and coworkers to communicate it in an understandable and engaging fashion.

As an Executive Director of The John Maxwell Team, I am certified to facilitate, speak, train and coach individuals and groups in the areas of leadership development, professional skills and personal growth. Trained and mentored by John Maxwell and mentors of his world-class faculty, I am equipped with the tools, resources and experience to help you and your team improve your productivity, performance and profitability. My passion for communicating and connecting began in my early years at Wake Forest University. While my friends seemingly chose their respective majors with ease, I remember intensely contemplating my options. My father suggested “Speech Communications” and, without hesitation, I embraced his recommendation wholeheartedly! These skills would serve me in all walks of life, opening key doors and aligning the path towards my dream. I realized the importance of learning how to connect with people in a variety of circumstances (public speaking, group communications, and one-to-ones). This focus allowed me to appreciate the dynamics of communications and to recognize the overall value of connecting on all levels, enabling me to become a better leader. I devoted the next seven years of my life to serving our country as an Army Logistics Officer. I truly learned the value of leadership in terms of the awesome responsibilities associated with it. Defending our most treasured freedoms on a daily basis was always the mission, yet accomplishing that mission was futile without earning and building the trust of the incredible men and women I was honored to lead. This became one of my most powerful and imprinted life lessons. The military had prepared a strong platform for me to transition my leadership and training skills to the corporate world. I dedicated the next thirteen years of my life to one company, ascending the management ranks and building teams along the way. It was a memorable and valuable time in my professional career, as I sharpened practical skills in the fields of logistics and safety compliance. More importantly, as the company expanded and my responsibilities increased, my leadership development and training skills were peaking as well. This led me to trailblaze into the exciting life as an entrepreneur. Although it was out of my comfort zone and risky, it was an important step in my leadership development. I explored the fields of health coaching, vocational instructing, as well as safety training and compliance. Although filled with triumphs and challenges, being an entrepreneur generated such rewarding personal growth satisfaction and opportunities.It essentially secured my desire to serve others in unraveling the complexities of leadership and to uncover their true North. This experience culminated in the formation my company, Envision Enterprise. The time is now, so connect with me today. Let’s have that crucial conversation that expands your thinking, creates new awareness, and awakens your leadership spirit.
