Kevin Harrington, CEO | Vortex Drainage Systems LLC

I invited Chris to speak at our regional sales meeting to provide some insight on public speaking and sales presentations. Chris gave a tailored, insightful and entertaining presentation that provided actionable guidance and applicable suggestions for improvement. In addition, Chris provided helpful literature for attendees to take home for review. Once the presentation was done, Chris took the time to answer all questions in both the group setting and on an informal basis during the break. Feedback from the sales team was that the presentation was highly valuable and contained a great deal of information that could be directly applied to their next sales prospect. I would highly recommend Chris for any sales training you have, the more you can tell him about your business and the challenges you face, the more he can help you!

HOW LEADERS CAN ENGAGE THE HEARTS AND MINDS OF EMPLOYEES, The Power of Communications To Transform the Workplace

Engaging employees starts with leaders communicating their vision. But it doesn’t stop there. Employees have to understand and make the vision their own or it will fail (according to a recent Gallup report 50% of U.S. employees are disengaged, lacking motivation). When everyone in a company—from the top rungs of the corporate ladder on down—embraces the vision, companies are transformed creating a culture of success, enhancing employee morale and stimulating company growth. Please contact Chris if you have questions or would like to schedule a presentation of HOW LEADERS CAN ENGAGE THE HEARTS AND MINDS OF EMPLOYEES, The Power of Communications To Transform the Workplace. Call 919-655-4063 or 617-262-9075.
