When a speaker turns a room of employees into a team of passionate owners, hang on because you’re about to experience a whole new level of performance.

“James was the top rated speaker at our conference.”

When your employees think like owners, everything changes.

Organizations succeed when their employees are not there only to collect a paycheck, but are invested in the heart and soul of the company’s mission. This is evident when:

  • They show up to work ready to bring their ‘A’ game.
  • They constantly look for ways to do their job better.
  • They look beyond their own responsibilities and see the bigger picture.

But how to you get an entire organization executing on all cylinders? How do you help your managers get out of the weeds and focused on bringing out the best in their staff? How do you get your employees to invest their heart and passion into the mission of your organization? It all comes down to changing how people think…It’s about a mind shift that results in:

1. Turning your managers into inspiring leaders.

2. Turning your employees into owners.

Leaders and owners…that’s where the money is.

A great speaker elevates the thinking of your people.

All change begins with a mind shift. A successful speaker knows how to meet people where they’re at and then elevate their thinking so they experience their role from a different perspective.

This is the secret to transformation.

I have been working with audiences of all types for over 20 years. While my presentations are entertaining and motivational, what’s more important is that they transform people. I shift their perspective in a way that makes them WANT to bring their best self to work each day.

A mind shift must be followed with a simple path to follow.
In order to make change stick it must be paired with a simple path or steps which people can take in order to get new results. When I leave an organization your people will have proven steps and tools in order to continue where we left off.

“The best speaker so far. Gave us actual tactical ideas to implement. Nicely done.” SHRM Attendee
