Motivational Speaker for Eye Med Vision Care all employee development day

Thank you Luxottica and Eye Med Vision Care for allowing me to be your Motivational keynote speaker for you all employee training and development day. You REALLY took the "It's SHOWTIME!" philosophy and ran with it. Having worked with many event planners over the years, I tip my hat to all of the T&D volunteer team who came together to make this happen.

I even tip my hat to Cindy who was my client at Travelers Insurance and referred me here - special treat coming YOUR way :-)

I appreciate all the emails I received from your attendees and all the homework we were able to do ahead of time to make sure the key learning objectives were identified and addressed.

Thanks again and I look forward to working with you again!

Jenn....I'm still working on the Marcus Buckingham call......

The Fairmont Penthouse in Bermuda...as a Corporate Magician - it's a lot of work!

To be asked to perform as the corporate magician - in the Fairmont - in the Penthouse suite...in BERMUDA! (and pay me...WELL!) Tough gig to say NO to huh? While I definitely practice what I teach in the keynote speech about "Passion, and doing your best work while having the most fun" there is also a great deal of work that goes behind the scenes.

I certainly get the comments on the Facebook page and emails about the 'life I lead' with the exotic travels, the people and celebs I meet the non-stop fun I have, but did you realize about 80% of my time is still spent in an office, researching, testing, practicing and re-testing?

Look at this event from last night. I was with the top sales people worldwide in the "Specialty Insurance" group of this organization. These are truly the "Best of the Best" at what they do and have hours upon hours of time and effort into their results - so why shouldn't I? The event planner has worked to create the optimal experience - so how could I create the greatest amount of impact on these folks and not just be a 'good magic guy.' How can I have them leaving and talking the whole next day and until I see them again next year about what they saw and experienced in their very own hands?

THIS is creating IMPACT and not merely meeting expectations and exactly what I talk about in the keynote speech I am presenting to the same group tomorrow. In this important time we all need to look for ways to cut costs but without comprising value. HOW? I suggest you create "SHOWTIME" moments. That is creating points of impact and creating an experience over simply getting the job done. That's why I not only did some impressive sleight-of-hand tricks but also understood their customers, their challenges, their business and related the tricks to their environment in a fun, engaging and amazing way.

But what did that take? No magical secret there - it took work. For the 60 minutes I spent in the Penthouse suite last night (overlooking the incredible ocean view I might add) there were hours upon hours in the making. But that's what it takes to be at your best.

I challenge you to look for opportunities to create those moments of IMPACT and not simply meet expectations. How can you engage them better, have it be of value to them and have them talking about you next time, next month or next year as you took the time to make a difference and because you understand 'SHOWTIME!'

Corporate spokesperson

As a corporate magician, sometimes I get to shoot tricks that are mixed with a bit of a message. Here is one we just did for a development company.
