Climbing Your Personal Mountains!
Keynote runs 75-90 minutes or 45-60 minutes as needed.

This signature keynote goes in depth with each of the VOWELS. Attendees are encouraged to learn from past challenges, to reach their full potential, to deal with the "mountain goats" in their path and to begin to fully THRIVE in all aspects of their lives.

This keynote is perfect for personal growth, sales, management, or leadership events.

Reach YOUR Peak!
Keynote runs 60-75 minutes or up to 2 hours as needed.

Brad’s newest program is a smashing success and is designed to give participants the tools and roadmap to their best year ever in sales, as a manager, or in improving their leadership skill. Topics include:
•    Understanding the VOWELS importance in Sales, Management or Leadership
•    SWOT training
•    Utilizing the Tools For Success (personal branding, time management, qualifying prospects, more)
•    Creating a Business Plan (Mission/Vision Statements, SMART goals, more)

This topic is ideal for persons in direct sales, corporate sales, entrepreneurs, managers and leaders at every level.
Take A Trip to Outer Space - Get Out of Your Comfort Zone!
Keynote runs 75-90 minutes or 45-60 minutes as needed.

If your business or team doesn't seem to be as vibrant and productive as before, you may have a case of the "snuggies" - comfortable, predictable, safe thinking that is keeping your business warm but preventing growth and forward thinking. This topic deals with getting your company or team out of their mundane rut and gives them practical steps to improving daily activities, focus and morale, while learning to embrace new experiences and learning opportunities.

This keynote is on target for managers at all levels and entrepreneurs.
My Key Still Works – Guess It’s Gonna Be a Good Day!
Keynote runs 75-90 minutes or 45-60 minutes as needed.

Talk about entertaining AND informative, this version of the VOWELS centers on change management and dealing with the uncertainty in business today. Ownership and managerial shifts can morph an employee’s focus from one of “succeeding” to only “surviving” – if this is happening in your company, you are losing productivity every day!

This program is perfect for CEO’s, middle managers, entrepreneurs, and leaders at all levels of an organization
