In our heart of hearts, we want to focus on doing what we love most in our day-to-day work but people do business with people so first we have to create and foster connections, and use the right questions to bridge the communication gap between us and our clients, partners, and teams. The Magic of the 5th Question is that it moves us past the small talk and into developing real relationships. Attendees will be educated, engaged and entertained in this keynote and will walk away with information and inspiration to achieve better outcomes. Attendees will: 1) learn how to move from the mundane to the meaningful in their conversations, both inside and outside their companies. 2) recognize the most common obstacles that jeopardize the application of their 5th Question and how to overcome these 3) understand how to employ the specific seven steps to take before and after their events to get the most out of every networking experience.

John Maxwell has authored over 100 books on leadership, and he once said: “Leadership is influence. Nothing more, nothing less.” Whether or not your job involves leading others, you already possess an ability to influence people. But are you tapping into that ability? And do you even consider yourself an influencer? Not a social media influencer endorsing or promoting a product, but rather, are you applying the strategies that make people want to follow you? In this workshop, attendees will learn: * the six characteristics all true influencers share; * how the magic of curiosity in others becomes a magnet people can't help but be attracted to; and * how the 5 x 5 x 5 rule is the perfect first step for growing your own Influence Network.

Do you sometimes feel you or your teammates struggle to stay motivated? Are you looking for ways to ensure you and your teammates stay committed to one another and the goals you've set? Are there a few people on your team who struggle to keep up - or maybe that's you? This presentation includes lessons learned in a sport often overlooked and underappreciated - Cross Country. Anyone who has ever participated can tell you great stories from running those 3.1 miles, but many people don't think of it as a team sport, and yet it is. Cross Country is a sport with no bench, no timeouts, no do-overs and everyone on the team makes a difference. It's a sport that connects in many ways to both life and leadership. Whether you are leading a team or just trying to do your part as a member of that team, this presentation provides lessons to help you all become winners. And this presentation will move you! Who knows? By the end, you may even be motivated to sign up for your first 5k.
