Marc Lebert - Flexing Your Mental Muscle
From initial product idea to the world stage we have changed the way the world does fitness. In those 15 years I have become convinced that a persons success is determined by very simple yet powerful concepts that we will explore in this interactive workshop. You'll learn how to maximize the entrepreneurs mind, foster greater self-awareness, and construct new desired actions. This is entrepreneurship on steroids.
Michel Neray - Storytelling in Business as a Means to Differentiate, Brand and Empower
How leaders lead, coaches coach, salespeople sell, teachers teach and influencers influence.
It is well-established that stories are more memorable and powerful than facts and statistics. Stories are the basis of leadership, coaching, influence, teaching, sales and team culture. From the beginning of time, stories are how we have passed on our values, made sense of the world and effected change. Today, it's how we influence our customers, our teams and audiences.
In this keynote, Michel Neray shows you how to harness the power of stories to lead, motivate and influence. It covers the fascinating similarity between classic Hollywood films, case studies and testimonials, and leaves you with specific tools and models you can begin to use immediately. It also inspires you to see the value of your own personal story and how it contributes to your unique strengths and success in business.
This is a fun and engaging presentation that will open your eyes to new ways to tell and perform stories to sell more, differentiate and brand more powerfully, lead more effectively and, yes, change the world.
