  • In Extremis Leadership, Leading As If Your Life Depended On It The contemporary operating environments for both government and business is characterized by volatility, complexity, and uncertainty—perfect conditions for crises to emerge. Brigadier Gen. Tom Kolditz shows how extreme life-and-death situations can offer profound lessons for leaders in any setting. Gen. Kolditz’s research reveals that the leadership skills and principles evident in dangerous settings also apply to leading in business and everyday life, making this program applicable to both personal and professional success.
  • Dodging Bullets: How to Avoid Crisis Few people want to be put into a position of being crisis managers, so how can leaders prepare organizations to avoid crises before they occur? Gen. Kolditz will take the audience through specific processes and techniques to help leaders anticipate and prevent crises and have a more effective, more empowered workforce every day.

In this program he share his knowledge about leading with influence, and communicating with purpose. He also has a variety of additional high-risk situations he shares that are ideal settings to seek and find great leaders, assess how they might be different, and gleans valuable insights for extraordinary leadership in everyday lives.
  • Bringing Innovation Leadership to a Legacy Organization Learn best practices, tools and processes for effective organization design, identify key steps for mobilizing your desired organizational structure. Learn how to lead change in organizations, especially those that are tradition-bound and extraordinarily resistant to change. Tom Kolditz draws on first hand experience and multiple cases of innovation and change in organizations using a unique indirect strategy that was successful when more common change management strategies had failed.
  • Leading Through Tragedy Tragedy eventually overcomes all organizations in the form of the death or serious injury of one or more members. Learn what to do to prevent tragedy from disrupting organizational effectiveness, harmony and leadership effectiveness. Lessons include concepts about succession planning, and proven leadership behavior during times of chaos.

Leaders Developing Leaders One of a leader’s most powerful legacies is to develop those who work with them and for them. Leadership development programs in business have too often been relegated solely to talent managers and HR directors. Tom Kolditz illustrates how, in an evidence based way, each leader can personally and directly develop their people, increasing the performance and retention of employees and building a solid foundation for the future. Tapping leadership development principles introduced, refined and currently in use at West Point, the Yale School of Management, and other high-performing organizations, Tom’s presentation creates a clear path and practical framework for leaders to have greater impact and influence over their people while simultaneously helping them achieve their potential.

Scott McKain is a globally recognized authority on how iconic organizations and professionals create the distinction required to attract and retain customers and employees.

 

He is the founder of a consulting and training company that explores the role of ultimate customer experiences in creating enhanced client retention and revenue and is the author of three Amazon.com #1 business bestsellers; all teaching how to expand profits, increase sales, and engage customers. 

 

McKain’s latest book, released by an imprint from Simon & Schuster, titled “ICONIC: How Organizations and Leaders Attain, Sustain, and Regain the Highest Level of Distinction” was recently released to rave reviews from the world’s leading executives and thought leaders,” and was named a “Top Ten” pick of the year by Forbes.com. 

 

Scott McKain’s presentations benefit from three decades of experience, combined with his innate talent for articulating successful ideas. McKain has spoken before and consulted for the world’s most influential corporations.

 

He has presented his business strategies on platforms in all fifty states and seventeen countries… from Singapore to Sweden; from Mexico to Morocco… from the White House with the President in attendance; to conferences in Dubai and Abu Dhabi. He has been honored with induction into the “Professional Speakers Hall of Fame.” And, he is a member of “Speakers Roundtable” — an elite, invitation-only group of twenty business speakers considered by many to be among the best in the world.

ICONIC:
How Organizations and Leaders Attain, Sustain, and Regain the Ultimate Level of Distinction

 

“For every Amazon, there is a Sears. For every Starbucks, there is a HoJo’s. For every Apple, there is a Nokia. How do you ensure distinction – personally and organizationally – so you don’t get left behind in a changing marketplace?”

 

After the enormous success of “Create Distinction,” a client asked Scott, “What’s the ultimate level?” That inspired his new book – and keynote presentation – “ICONIC.” How does a professional or organization become so distinctive that they not only stand out in their industry, but set the benchmark for innovation, customer experience, and employee culture?

 

Key takeaways:

  • The Five Factors of Iconic Performance
  • The ONLY two factors upon which customers will judge you
  • Why much of what you’ve heard – like “under promise/over deliver,” “defense wins
  • championships,” “sell harder” – does not work in today’s marketplace of multiple generations and cultures.

 

 

CREATE DISTINCTION:
 What to Do When “Great” Isn’t Good Enough to Grow Your Business

 

How do you stand out from your competition, so you become their preferred choice in a volatile marketplace? Scott reveals the elements that pull you back to the pack – and the Four Cornerstones of Distinction it takes to attain remarkable success.

 

Key takeaways:

  • How to avoid the mistakes of commoditization
  • The specific steps you must take to create distinction
  • The importance of personal responsibility in organizational growth

 

THE ULTIMATE CUSTOMER EXPERIENCE:
Delivering What Customers REALLY Want 

 

What is the ultimate experience that a customer could have doing business with your organization?

 

This program will teach your team what it takes to create undying loyalty and endless referrals.

 

Key takeaways:

  • The five steps of an Ultimate Customer Experience
  • Every custom-designed program includes step-by-step strategies and actionable solutions that can be applied to an endless range of workplace challenges.
  • Why the experience – and not service – generates loyalty; and what you need to do to create it
  • The information you need to personalize the experience, in order to intensify the customer’s commitment to your organization
  • The Six Disconnections Between Organizations and Customers — and how to bridge the gaps so you can engage distinctively

 

DISTINCTIVE SALES:
How to Stand Out in a Hyper-Competitive Marketplace

 

Our research shows that not only are most organizations selling customers and prospects exactly like their competitors, they’re also not emphasizing the differences that will make them the superior choice. In this program, Scott shows the steps required to sell uniquely in a hyper-competitive marketplace.

 

Key takeaways:

  • Sell the differences that make you a preferred choice
  • Four ways to sell uniquely from your competition
  • How to transcend transaction and develop loyal relationships for more sales
  • The six key disconnections between sales professionals and their customers

 

DEVELOPING A DISTINCTIVE CULTURE IN A MULTI-GENERATIONAL MARKETPLACE

 

Your organization’s culture will always trump your organization’s strategy – for culture determines how we execute. Yet, in this time of so many diverse generations and cultures working together in our organization, how do we develop a culture that creates distinction? In this program, Scott helps you develop a game plan that respects our differences – and helps us draw strength from our diversity.

 

Key takeaways:

  • Why “different” from how we do it doesn’t mean “incorrect” in how it’s done
  • How generational differences can create distinction when we develop an open, accepting
  • organizational culture
  • How to thrive in a workplace with multiple generations, and how to work with people who
  • think differently than you

Why Book this Speaker:

  • World Champion Quarterback

Fee Range: $22,000-$32,000

Traveling From: VA

Joe Theismann is an entrepreneur and the former star quarterback for the Washington Redskins. Most recently, he spent the last 2 decades working for ESPN and the NFL Network as an NFL analyst.

Joe graduated in 1971 from the University of Notre Dame, where he received All-American honors in both Football and Academics. That same year, he was runner up to Jim Plunket for the Heisman Trophy balloting. Joe chose to begin his career with the Toronto Argonauts of the Canadian Football League after being drafted by the Miami Dolphins and Major League Baseball’s Minnesota Twins.

A 12-year NFL veteran, Joe played in 163 consecutive games from 1974-1985 for the Washington Redskins and holds Redskin records for passing yardage (25,206), completions (2,044) and attempts (3,602). He was a two-time Pro Bowl selection and Pro Bowl MVP leading the Washington Redskins to a 27-17 victory over the Miami Dolphins in Super Bowl 17.

Joe was selected as the NFL’s Man of the Year in 1982 for his community service and dedication to the health and welfare of children. In 1983, he won the league’s Most Valuable Player Award, leading the Redskins to a second consecutive Super Bowl appearance. Joe Theismann’s career ended abruptly in 1985 after sustaining a badly broken leg during a Monday Night Football game against the New York Giants on national television. In 2003, he was inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame and in 2013 received the Walter Camp Football Foundation “Distinguished American” Award.

Joe’s book “How to Be a Champion Everyday” was released in June of 2020.

In his charismatic and entertaining style, Joe Theismann draws parallels between his successful career as an NFL quarterback and You — The executive, manager, salesperson, group or individual, with the goal Managing to Win.

He reveals his Game Plan for Success by drawing parallels between winning in football and in business.  How to succeed under pressure — when it’s ” 4th and 1 and how to adapt quickly to unexpected situations when you’re faced with a “blitz” instead of a zone. He urges individuals and organizations to set goals and correct errors each step of the way, an approach that builds momentum.which once on your side, would be hard for the best “defense” to stop.

 

Challenge of Change

Drawing from personal experience, Joe Theismann knows how to deal with the Challenge of Change. On November 18, 1985, he was on top of his game -a two-time Pro Bowl player and the most productive quarterback in the history of the Washington Redskins. Later that evening, he found himself in a hospital bed with a compound fracture to his leg, shattering both his career and his boyhood dream. At age thirty-five, he was faced with starting over his personal life and professional career. In this stirring presentation, individuals and organizations learn how to tackle change by keeping a positive mental outlook and committing to a vision that guides you to the top.

Erin O’Malley

Top Company Culture Speaker

  • Speaks on:

Why Book this Speaker:

  • Ten years in the hospitality industry
  • Expert on the power of human connection

 

Fee Range: In-person $7500-$15,000

Virtual: $3000-$7000

Traveling From: FL

Erin O’Malley understands the connection between strong leadership, engaged teams, and loyal customers. Ten years in hospitality leadership proved the perfect playground to hone her leadership expertise and teach her a thing or two about customer experience. 

Looking for a new audience to lead, she headed to Panama to serve as a Community Economic Development Volunteer in the Peace Corps. From drawing pictures in the sand, when it was the only medium available, to enabling community leaders to earn micro-financing, two-plus years living on an island of 300 people gave Erin a new perspective on work, leadership, and what makes people tick.

In all of her work roles, in all of the places she’s lived, and in all of the characters she’s encountered, she discovered there was a common thread that tied the places, people, and possibility together: the power of human connection.

Since her return from her Panamanian adventure, she’s broadened her facilitation and consultation work out to other industries. From BMW to Delta Airlines, The Kennedy Center to AvisBudgetGroup – the more organizations, leaders, and frontline teams insist their problems are unique, the more evidence Erin discovers that the traits that connect us are universal.

Erin practices what she preaches in her keynote presentations and workshops, connecting with her audiences through her contagious energy. Her work focuses on giving people the tools and inspiration they need to imagine what’s possible and discover their impact.



Keynote: 

The Power of Human Connection

In this keynote, Erin brings her Connection Framework to life. Participants explore how staying curious, genuinely caring, and controlling how we show up are the vital skills it takes to create connection. They’ll learn how asking questions, practicing empathy, and taking agency in their roles creates cultures and experiences where people are seen, heard, and understood. 

Erin calls out connection crashers: the words we say, the habits we do, the actions we take that slowly go to crack connection. With this awareness, participants then experience the opportunities and possibilities that open up when they embrace fostering connection within their client relationships and teams. 

Through storytelling and audience interaction, Erin calls people up to embrace their role in creating connection and the impact it has on engagement, loyalty, and strengthening relationships. 

 

(Take-aways) During this keynote, participants will: 

  • Identify the biggest mistake we make in listening and how to solve it. 
  • Explore what empathy is really about and how to embrace it in your relationships to create understanding and connection.
  • Dispel myths about “choosing your attitude” and get real, practical techniques to show up fully, ready to engage and impact. 



Workshop/Breakout Session: 

Deflate, Relate, Elevate, the formula to create magic out of mayhem. 

A connected work culture promotes ownership, action, and collaboration. However, even with the best-laid plans, disconnect happens. Misunderstandings occur. Drama ensues. Time is wasted. Confusion takes over. Relationships suffer.  

The good news–there is another way! In this workshop, you will learn how to apply the Deflate, Relate, Elevate formula to reach true understanding, create connection, and build strong relationships. Discover how disconnections and misunderstanding provide an opportunity for greater engagement, cohesion, and peace when you apply the Deflate, Relate, and Elevate formula. 

 

(Take-aways) What You Can Expect:

  • Experience what it’s like to truly feel heard by practicing curious listening. We’ll challenge active listening myths and get to the heart of engaged listening during our Story Session activity. 
  • Discover the true meaning of empathy and explore how to develop and use empathy as a skill set for connection and collaboration. 
  • Learn how to embrace tough conversations and relieve the pressure of having to be the problem solver and fixer for all scenarios.

If you want:

  • Stronger, effective, and powerful communication with your team and colleagues,
  • Less drama and more ownership of responsibilities, and…
  • A formula to get ahead of misunderstandings and miscommunications and turn misfires into opportunities for stronger and powerful relationships…the Deflate, Relate, Elevate is the workshop for you.

 

Workshop/Breakout Session: 

Connected Conversations: A framework for candid and impactful coaching conversations. 

Do you find yourself repeating the same request to your team over and over again, yet never see the behavior change you hope? Does your team nod their head in agreement, yet do nothing different when you ask them to? Does your team ask for performance reviews and feedback, and you give them a pat on the back because who has time to think about all of that?

If that sounds familiar, the Connected Conversations Workshop is for your leadership team. During this workshop, leaders and managers will cover the techniques and dynamics behind giving and receiving effective feedback. Participants will explore how the Intention, Impact, and Input framework is used as a blueprint for preparing, practicing, and delivering coaching conversations that create buy-in and lasting change. 

 

(Take-aways) What You Can Expect:

  • Discover how to create an environment for impactful conversations, including how to prepare and frame a conversation that inspires true behavior change and commitment.
  • Learn how to practice inquiry and questioning techniques to get a greater understanding of the situation, possible misconceptions, and how to get input for change.
  • Explore how curiosity, empathy, and the power of the pause are skills that lead to collaboration, increased communication, and innovation. 
  • Learn how to handle emotional responses, resistance, lack of agreement, and other ways feedback conversations can go sideways so that employees build confidence having challenging conversations. 
  • Real-time practice and workshopping of feedback and coaching conversations. 

 

Workshop Style:

  • Sessions are experiential with a mix of skill-training and facilitated exercises through large and small group learning. 
  • All participants will have an opportunity to practice and implement the formulas and frameworks with their peers using a real-life scenario and receive one-on-one coaching from Erin.
  • Workshops can be in-person or virtual, with full and half-day versions available.

The impact of this can be felt as individuals fatigue under the weight of extreme ambiguity.

From ever-evolving go-to-market strategies and expanding customer expectations to an emerging list of new future-ready competencies and new ways of working, today’s leaders are seeking certainty about the future and the confidence to trust themselves to rise to the occasion and meet the moment with influence and impact.

The Heart of Business: The Secret and the Science to Influencing and Leading During Times of Transformation

Leadership has always been about one thing: influence. To effectively manage transformation today, leaders must have the understanding and the skill to not only connect with the rational and logical aspects of people’s brains but also have the capacity to reach their hearts in order to understand what ultimately drives human behavior at the deepest level.

As traditional hierarchies are re-examined and leadership becomes less about title, tenure, and time at the organization and more about influence, impact, and connection to their heart, our ability to develop, cultivate, and grow our personal presence and own our capacity to reveal our full selves every single day will become the new mandate for leadership in the modern era.

In this highly interactive deep-dive discussion, Seth will shed light on these questions and add a new perspective to the conversation of leadership today by dissecting the most critical skills and competencies leaders will need to acquire in order to elevate their impact on the teams they’re supporting, the organizations they’re leading, and the communities they live in.

The Human Connection: Harnessing the Power of Belonging to Activate High Performance and Organizational Resiliency

In a world of uncertainty, ambiguity, change, and transformation, leaders today face a stark reality to compete, grow, and scale the business. And while technology supports this evolution, people make it a reality. Specifically, individuals that feel a deep sense of connection and commitment to themselves, their work, and the eco-systems that support them.

What’s possible when environments are created where talent feels safe enough to be free and supported enough to truly belong? When these elements begin to align and experiences unfold, an expansive and abundant future takes shape.

As we enter a new era of digital work, leaders are faced with the challenge of reengineering their organizations for a mobile-first culture in order to drive business performance and maintain cultural cohesiveness from afar. Shepherding a virtual future will be the mandate for the modern leader.

When teams are dispersed and isolated from each other, new systems, processes, skills, and competencies will be required to effectively adapt and evolve to these new environments. The challenges of isolation, social distancing and working from home will give leaders a unique opportunity to create compelling new digital remote work environments that are engaging, participatory, and full of the human connection we deeply value.

In this program, Seth Mattison will unpack the opportunities our new virtual environment presents along with research, case studies, and best practices for what leaders and managers can do today to effectively support and lead a remote workforce and mobile-first future.

Today a new set of seller skills and competencies are required to pace with the changing needs and expectations of customers and clients as a power shift has occurred in the world of customers and clients. No longer do institutions and authority figures hold the keys. Today power, information, and influence are shared between customers and sales professionals creating new challenges and opportunities for entire industries.
