Speaking of Speaking...

A lot of people know me and connect with me based on meeting me at an event or seeing me speak, or being in one of my training classes, but even so a lot of you have expressed surprise to hear that I speak to businesses all the time.

What's really interesting is to hear the feedback from attendees that say things like, "Wow, that was all new information! I've never even heard of anything like that before. Last time we had a speaker that talked about Mazlow's Hierarchy of Needs, just like the previous ten speakers. We were wondering when we were ever going to see something new, and wow did you ever bring it!"

That was pretty much  what someone in my last presentation said word for word, and it's so common to hear it that I'm both grateful and embarrassed.

I'm embarrassed because our industry has a lot of great speakers who have ridden their one speaking subject darned near into the afterlife and never updated it once in all the years they've been talking about it.

In fact, some of them use the same jokes in every presentation and the audiences now sing the punchlines back at every show! How many businesses have spent tens of thousands of dollars to hear the same thing for the umpteenth time that hasn't moved the chains for their company yet?

I've always been an ahead of the times kind of guy, from writing about the death of the Knowledge Based Economy and the Rise of the Distributed Knowledge Economy in 1996, 20 years before it occurred to new writers at Forbes and Inc and Fast Company this year to finally start talking about the subject in earnest, all the way to what I'm talking about now that will dramatically change how business is done in the next 15-20 years.

This video talks about some of the new topics I'm available to share with your teams on top of my traditional business soft skills subjects:

1. How Apps Will Radically Transform All Businesses In The Next 3-5 Years
2. How Online Content & Web Media Are Transforming and Evolving Right Now
3. Business Funding - What You Need And How You Get It
4. The Power of Relentlessly Intelligent Effort

All of these are presentations unlike any you've ever had before and cover depths and insights that can radically change your business from the ground up. If your business wants to really make some major growth steps in the next few years, you need to do something you've never done before, not do something you've already tried or seen tried hundreds of times before with no discernible results.

There's definitely a time and place for the Mazlows and the Druckers of this world to be in your business' training plans, but for your most transformation talks of the year your business deserves something new, something powerful, and something truly transformative.

Give me the chance to make that impact for you.
