If you want Mary to customize a keynote, breakout session or workshop for your audience…you’ve come to the right spot!
Here is how she tailors the Changes and Choices Keynote:
- When you select the “Choices and Changes – A New Hattitude” keynote, you may select the three take aways you want your audience, employees or conference attendees to embrace, focus on or delve deeper into.
- Mary crafts her keynote using the three primary learning objectives you select.
- In addition, you may want to consider using Mary for breakout sessions, special Board of Directors conference gathering, or for Bonus Session for event sponsor or key organization supporters. She can tailor a “deep dive” into her keynote content or a 35,000-foot view on one of her areas of expertise.
For Example: Let’s say you choose the following three Life Lessons for your Quarterly Team Sales Meeting.
- Create a Rock Star Attitude: Challenges the team to continue to practice and improve their sales expertise, product knowledge and closing skills. Rock starts status requires practice and discipline to stay sharp and fully prepared for each selling opportunity.
- Listen Carefully: Show ‘em You Care-Fully. Demonstrates and tests the audience’s current listening skillset with quick audience exercises. Then Mary shares communication tools, resources and tactics that are guaranteed to serve as reminders for veteran sales performers who have allowed their listening capabilities to grow rusty. For newer employees, sales producers or customer service representatives, the session will open new communication avenues, increased sales success and more personal job satisfaction.
- The Expectation Trap. In life, one should never assume to have the “deal/contract/sale or prospect in the bag.” Continued vigilance is required to avoid surprises. Unless team members take the time to uncover their customer’s hidden concerns, clarify the details and confirm understanding, success is fleeting and inconsistent. In these challenging economic times, companies can ill afford to have employees who are not hitting on all cylinders every day.
Be ready to have fun when you select your meeting message key concepts from Mary’s Dozen Life Lessons. When you retain Mary, you will be confident that your organization will receive a customized interactive workshop, meeting, half-day or full day of learning that will zip by!
At the end of the day you’ll look at your watch and say, “IT’S OVER? I feel like we just got here!”
