Why I love to speak
During my 35 years in sales and leadership, I have learned that education alone is not sufficient to change behavior. For instance, a doctor may advise their patient not to smoke due to the associated health risks, but they themselves may continue to smoke. This is because knowledge alone does not necessarily translate to heartfelt belief and action.
To address this issue, I have created a training program called Business from the Heart, designed specifically for organizations that have grown frustrated with ineffective training programs that only reiterate what people already know.
Unlike many other speakers and trainers who focus solely on techniques and programs, I prioritize the "heart" of your business. By tapping into what you already know, and helping you to truly believe and act upon this knowledge, I seek to synchronize your head with your heart, thereby enabling lasting change.
This approach is the key to unlocking full engagement for you and your team in your business, as it facilitates a genuine commitment to achieving your goals.
Thats what I do.
