Attitude is Everything, Part I

Attitudes, whether positive or negative, have the power to impact the success of an organization or an individual. Attitudes are contagious; attitudes impact the bottom line. The topic is so timely in today's competitive and changing marketplace that Keith has developed two hard-hitting sessions, which teach powerful techniques for maintaining a positive attitude - regardless of the circumstances. Many of our clients request Attitude is Everything, Part I, for their opening or closing session. The keynote address sets the tone for your meeting or conference, inspiring attendees to learn, network and share best practices.

Attitude is Everything, Part II

Attitude is Everything, Part II, uses different stories and analogies, introducing new strategies and techniques to reinforce the core message of Part I. Attitude is Everything, Part II, is an excellent follow up for a subsequent meeting, and will leave attendees motivated, inspired and ready to take action.

Making Performance Matter

The Right Attitude is Everything when it comes to first impressions. Regardless of what industry, occupation or job responsibilities we have, the first impressions we make through our performance impact customer service and ultimately determine our failure or success. Our self-image is directly tied to our performance level; it is our achievement regulator. In this session, explore the power of first impressions, discover the keys to raising self-image and performance, and learn to create the motivational strategies that inspire people to serve.

Embracing Change To Increase Effectiveness

Change is constant and it's impacting everyone. While you may not be able to change the circumstances around you, what you can change is yourself. And sometimes that changes everything. This presentation explores how to be a change-embracer, thereby increasing your effectiveness. That means developing new and improved attitudes and habits. When those new attitudes and habits meet the skills and knowledge already in your possession, anything is possible. After this inspirational session, you will stop resisting change and welcome it as an opportunity to go from good to great.

Connect: Building success through people, performance & profits

At the Core of Success is the need for people to connect. Whether it's connecting to our customers, to improve customer service, or the strategic business plan and objectives for the coming year, the foundation for success starts with CONNECT. This explosive keynote explores the 7 core competencies needed to connect individuals and organizations to greater productivity and to maximize both personal and professional success. Thought provoking, energizing, humorous, and practical are all words used to describe this powerful, packed keynote.

Testimonials

"Keith was a big hit with an usually uptight audience. Although all the pages of background required for customization were daunting at an unusually stressful time here, these proved to make a huge difference. I was asked by Board members if I wrote his speech because it was so laden with project management and PMI references. New standards were set and worth every penny."

"We just wrapped up our program and as expected, Keith was a success! Our President said Keith was genuine and that was what made his presentation so powerful. I would like to pass on that I was personally touched by his message. I've had such questions for myself on whether or not I was doing the "right thing" or will I "fail." Keith's message made me realize, no matter what happens, my attitude will be my key to success. I knew Keith would be perfect for our venue and that is why I recommended him. However, I didn't know how much he would personally impact ME. Please pass on my gratitude!"

"WOW!! You did an extraordinary amount of homework to tailor your presentation to our business. You had insights and knowledge that clearly came from hard due diligence and deep penetration of what we are about and what we are trying to accomplish. We have never had a speaker who had as good a grasp of our culture and business and integrated it as well in a presentation. It was an all around 5-star piece of work. I would highly recommend you and we plan on using you again."
