Personal Details

Bio

WHAT I DO: I teach organizations and professionals how to create distinction in a hyper-competitive marketplace so they can stand out and move up. As a result, my clients sell more profitably, serve more dynamically, and lead more productively in a volatile market dealing with great generational changes.

HOW I DO IT: From distinctive convention keynotes to highly personal, interactive virtual training, I use three decades of experience and research to custom design highly engaging programs that meet your unique requirements and needs.

DOES IT WORK? I realize that EVERY author/speaker/guru is going to insist that their approach works. I can prove it. From an account manager from a major tech company who closed a $30m sale from one idea in a keynote speech – to a small business who wrote that because of our content, “We grew our business to many times its size. We disrupted the small 3D ultrasound industry.”

WHO ARE YOUR CLIENTS? The best. Apple, SAP, BMW, Merrill Lynch, Dow, Cisco, CDW, Re/MAX, Fairmont Hotels, UBS, Intel, Chrysler, Preferred Hotels of the World, and hundreds more…I’m humbled and honored to have the greatest companies in the world on my client list. And, I’d LOVE to work with YOU!

WHAT DO THEY SAY? Again, EVERYONE provides their stellar references. One client -- my friends at SAP -- created a video series for retailers based on my program. Here’s my favorite reference: “We’ve booked the leading speakers in the world. Scott McKain received the highest evaluations in the history of our company.” –Cisco. I’m happy to provide contacts and references, if you desire.

(I just give you the contact info of my last three clients -- I don't cherry pick from a long list. If I didn't get it right in my last programs, you'll know.)

We'd love to talk with you about how you can join these distinctive clients!
