TEAMBUILDING HOLLYWOOD-STYLE. Nationwide’s come a long way since introducing you to THE AFTERBURNERS a few years ago…next on tap is LIGHTS, CAMERA, INTERACTION! Using Hollywood as a metaphor for Team Leadership, your attendees are led into action by facilitators with lengthy Hollywood credentials – and teams of 15 vie for Academy Awards as they produce, direct and act in their own 30-second commercials! Rave reviews in the last month from Baxter Labs and Discover Card -our good customer at Pepsi Bottling tells us that “Lights, Camera, Interaction was the best teambuilding event we’ve ever had!”
CYNTHIA COOPER – The most prominent “Ethics in Business” speaker today. She was Time Magazine’s Person of the Year when she blew the whistle on her cohorts at WorldCom, and now Cynthia Cooper will advise your team on what it takes to stand up for what you believe in. Over 100 booked dates last year for this powerful presenter, including Blue Cross/Blue Shield, Creighton University, Pepsico, The Wall Street Journal, Phillip Morris, BellSouth, Northern Illinois University, and Old Dominion University. Call us today to see how Cynthia will tailor a talk to your organization.
RISING INSPIRATIONAL STAR: KEVIN ELKO. At the 2005 Million Dollar Round Table, this noted sports psychologist was the HIGHEST RATED SPEAKER EVER. And as he’s done for Paine Webber, Morgan Stanley, AXA, and even The Miami Dolphins and The Pittsburgh Steelers, Kevin Elko will teach your team not to let external events control them, but to toughen up and stay focused on their objectives. We’ve seen a lot of speakers in 21 years, but none are better than Kevin Elko. Call with your upcoming dates for this affordable presenter.
TALK ABOUT HOT: JASON JENNINGS and PATRICK LENCIONI continue to be the most requested Leadership speakers in America. Snack Food Association, Johns Manville, McBride Homes, Public Storage and Wells Fargo are among the most recent standing ovations. ‘06 dates are already at a premium, so check your calendars soon.
DICK VERMEIL IS BACK! – After Coach Vermeil led The Rams to the Super Bowl Title 4 years ago, he enlightened 45 corporate audiences (from Hussmann Corporation to Lincoln Mercury, Limited Stores to PriceWaterhouseCoopers)- and then returned to coach The Kansas City Chiefs. Dick’s back full-time on the circuit now with standing ovations in the last month for Washington Mutual, SunLife, and Jefferson Wells. Book Coach Vermeil and you’ll see why he’s the hottest sports speaker in the country.
VINCE PAPALE – THE NEXT RUDY.
With the Disney blockbuster “Invincible” set for a Fall release starring Mark Wahlberg, Nationwide customers are lining up to hear from Vince Papale – the unlikely Captain of the 1976 Philadelphia Eagles. Vince’s fee will no doubt soon rise, and his “Never Say Never” attitude is indeed contagious. A perfect call for your Top Producers.
STEVE RIZZO – HUMOR IN THE WORKPLACE
Here’s a terrific $12,500 presenter who will tailor a talk to your specific needs – and keep them laughing all the while. And everybody loves Steve: Sherwin Williams, MetLife, Western Association of Food Chains, MDRT, Pratt & Whitney. Watch the tape, then call us to book
this great presenter!
