Sample Talks (4)

It's A Good Thing We Are All Marketers

This tongue firmly-in-cheek talk speaks to the subjectivity of marketing and how to break away from the frustrations as a marketer and deliver relevant, measurable marketing campaigns.

Great Customer Service Starts At Home: Driving Internal Customer Service

This interactive workshop explores the barriers to delivering great customer service internally and co-creates ways to break through them. Additionally, participants leave this session with a solid framework for building key values of internal customer service as a means for delivering consistent, excellent external customer service.

The Material Impact of Good Relationships on Your Business

This keynote speaks to the importance of fortifying all the relationships in the Chain of Relationships of the people who work for you. Designed to drive home the concept of healthy, engaged employees have higher productivity and build meaningful relationships with the customer target you serve.

People Are Perfect, Relationships Are Not

A keynote designed to talk about how relationships really work versus how we think they should work. If there is a cliche about relationships - it is myth-busted in this talk. We speak about the importance of clear communication, healthy conflict resolution and realistic expectations when dealing with human beings- versus animals, aliens or other creatures. Funny, high impact and practical - this talk is a great kickoff message for conferences with peer groups or team annual meetings.
