TRAINING
Professional trainers are a dime a dozen. They go to great lengths to develop a differentiator to stand out from the crowd and make it to the top of the Call for Speakers finalist list. While we probably won’t show up with dazzling new virtual reality headsets and pump-you-up Rocky theme music, we always provide the following:
Relevant content tailored to your audience needs.
Practical tools and take-aways that have a positive impact on the audience’s professional growth.
Thoroughly researched and vetted content, from reliable sources.
Engaging and, whenever possible, interactive delivery. No snoozers in our crowds.

Sample Topics
Inter-Generational Challenges
Speaking engagements on this topic address some of the myths of working with various generations, and focus on inter-generational collaboration (as opposed to focusing almost exclusively on what makes Millennials happy, which continues to be a trend). They also provide practical tools and ideas that participants can apply to their everyday interactions with colleagues from different generations
Inter-Cultural Communications
The social media memes making fun of bad translations are funny because they poke fun at real-life experiences, but those situations aren’t as funny when you’re negotiating a million dollar contract with people from a different continent. Sessions around this topic range from “how-to” do business with individuals from various countries to tools and resources to help navigate inter-cultural business situations. Packed with engaging case studies and examples.
Virtual & Global Collaboration
Many studies have demonstrated emotional intelligence (EQ) levels can predict how successful a leader will become, and yet EQ is still not the foundation of leadership development programs. Sessions on this topic shed light on what EQ is, why it matters, and how to improve EQ for long-term professional success and satisfaction. This is a must-have topic for emerging and established leaders and their extended teams!
Change Management
Organizational initiatives that are implemented via a deliberate change management process are quantifiably more successful than those that aren’t. Sessions around this topic align small and large teams around the change initiative’s vision and objectives. They also demonstrate how having a united team to implement the change helps instill long-term change. Tools, checklists and other resources are shared to help successfully manage change projects.
Emotional Intelligence
Many studies have demonstrated emotional intelligence (EQ) levels can predict how successful a leader will become, and yet EQ is still not the foundation of leadership development programs. Presentations and workshops on this topic shed light on what EQ is, why it matters, and how to improve EQ for long-term professional success and satisfaction. This is a must-have topic for emerging and established leaders and their extended teams!
Business Communications
Unraveling complex business communications is perplexing and fun. Sessions focus on topics ranging from closing the gender communication gap to discovering and then leveraging each individual’s communication strengths. In today’s sensitive business environment, it’s best to address these topics with a dash of humor and broad perspective on our collective humanity.
