Corporate Cheerleading "How Leaders Motivate Human Capital"

AMAZING!!  An electrifying, fun-filled presentation about how to motivate others --- from a university cheerleading coach with a psychology degree!  Communication, money, job design and psychology principles are taught alongside tumbling, pyramids, and cheers!  John captivates his audience with collegiate, international, and Olympic cheerleading stories!  They leave with new and more effective ways to motivate their employees to work faster, smarter, and accomplish more! 

Celeberating the Leader Within "Discover and Capitalize your Individual Strengths"

Enlightening and introspective!  “Leadership” is a commonly used term, but its full meaning is not always fully understood.  One can read a leadership book, but the success principles of that leader may not apply to the person, the task, or the organization.  One must discover and capitalize on individual strengths, and celebrate the individuality!  John uses leadership examples that illustrate practical and applicable leadership lessons, from the President of the United States to Willie Davis!  This presentation focuses on the evolution of leadership from traits, to behaviors and then situations – as well as a self assessment of your strengths.  Participants walk out the door with a new charge to lead!

World Leadership Lessons "Global Principles to Follow"

An extremely interesting and highly motivating speech about leadership --- profound examples from around the world!  With stories from his travels to over 30 countries, John vicariously takes his audience to far away places, from the cannibals of Fiji, Alfred Nobel’s prize in Scandinavia, and Russia’s Kremlin - while participants learn critical leadership skills.
