SERVANTS FIRST, ALWAYS

Real leaders serve! Real leaders intentionally build a following because they first (and always) serve the people around them. The command and control philosophy of leadership is finally dead! No one follows dictators! Leaders must learn to be humble, serve others first, and be a continuous servant.

LEAD!

LEAD is an action verb! This keynote will feature specific actions we need to be doing inside of our organizations to better lead our people. This keynote is full of practical situations and advice on how to be more active in our leadership.

THE INFLUENTIAL LEADER

Leadership is all about influence! Influence is something that is cultivated, built-up over time, and it is extremely intentional. This keynote address will discuss how to build influence with your team by communicating effectively and inspiring others to act.

DOING BUSINESS IN THE TWENTY-FIRST CENTURY: AN OPERA IN THREE ACTS

Opera, with its costumes, staging, music, and drama, is considered the "ultimate art." It is a presentation of both the visual and the auditory arts. With almost two decades of evidence, business in the 21st century is shaping up to be very different than it was in the 20th century. Business is not just about products and services and bottom lines but is an art form unto to itself. This keynote will tell the story about business in the 21st century in terms of the art of entrepreneurs, the drama of change, and the passion of people.

IT’S ALL ABOUT TRUST!

Trust is the center of the universe in every organization! Customers, clients, employees, business owners, and shareholders must all trust you. Today, trust is not usually given freely: it must be earned! It must be developed and built up over time. This keynote will explore how trust relationships must be carefully and intentionally designed and built.

THE ESSENTIAL ELEMENTS TO GETTING PROMOTED
