Master of Ceremonies for Awards Banquet

Bore No More!  As I say, quote (and trademark...hah!). Thanks again to MPI member Carol, for allowing me to be the awards ceremony emcee for a great event . We had 1000+ attendees for the awards ceremony for the Kettering Health Network.  We had more awards this year then last year and we still completed it within two hours, which used to take over three hours.  But that's my job!  Planning and consulting on the flow of traffic (even for the award which had 186 honorees), the transitions, the engagement factors in between awards and keeping it on time.  WHEW!  A lot to take in, but a dream event when it all happens liked planned.

Special thanks to Denny and the Markey's team as well. Overall great production!

I look forward to next year!  We got some great video, stay tuned and hopefully I will have permission to publish. It was hysterical!

Motivational Keynote speaker for top Franchise Organization

Finishing the day as the Keynote speaker for one of Inc Magazines top rated franchises, PLUS, putting me up at the fancy Hyatt at Coconut Point...makes Jon a happy man.
Special thanks to Pam for helping make that happen and for putting together a fabulous corporate special event for their annual meeting of franchisees.
It was a great audience who has been through a lot these past couple of years, like so many, but who also understands that sometimes you roll with the punches. Then you get up, get innovative and keep outside the box to make something happen with the pride and passion you know.

Also special thanks to Richard, Bruce and Joel who both assisted with pre-event and during event information and fun. Enjoy the Boring Meetings Suck book and Unlocking The Secrets DVD's. I know you'll enjoy them.

Thanks Fabrion !

Master of Ceremonies for annual fundraiser

As a professional master of ceremonies I typically see a GALA time of year and February is one of them with a couple of black tie events back to back. First up "Champagne and Diamonds" an annual event for a local hospital network with international results. Just an amazing organization.

As my second time as the event emcee I was delighted to see the event had grown - in a time when most fundraisers are seeing flat responses. This year the money raised was going to purchase a mobile mammography coach. Last year, the money raised was to build and purchase a mobile outreach coach to go to the communities that don't have good access or personal ability to access health care. The cool part - the new coach they raised money for last year, was parked out front for all to see what their efforts accomplished. Just like I hope to see next year.

Congratulations on your most successful Champagnes and Diamonds yet and I look forward to helping as your Master of Ceremonies next year as well.

Trade show magician at ASAE Technology show

You have to understand what you can and can't control. Unfortunately, I sit here in Ohio as the Washington DC airport is completely closed. I SHOULD be on route to the ASAE technology conference where I'll be the corporate magician / trade show magician for TMA Resources, which is not only a wonderful client, but a wonderful group of business professionals and friends.

It's looking like the entire show in going to be canceled at this point which would be a bummer for so many people. Those like me that want to be there, those that have sponsored the event and even those that are currently sitting in hotel rooms not with nothing to do.

The three things we CAN control - out actions, our attitude and our appearance. Yet all to often we stress over the things that we simply cannot control. So it looks like I'll be sitting this one out. So, a tip of the wine glass (or Guinness for Paul) to my friends at ASAE and TMA Resources. Hope to see you next time around. I think I'm going to use this "Free" time to go build a snowman with the girls.
