What’s one of the biggest problems with motivational speakers for teacher in-service/staff development programs?

Most of them concentrate only on the “nuts and bolts” of education in a very dry manner…

In short, many of them are BORING!

My programs are different! Before I get into the specific program options, here are just a few ways they stand out from your other options:

Humor and a Light Touch – I sprinkle non-offensive humor lightly throughout each of my presentations as an education motivational speaker. It’s no secret that people will always pay more attention to and enjoy a presentation that makes them laugh. This is very different from most of the dry presentations being offered to school districts.
True Stories of Inspiration – Not only do I illustrate my concepts with personal examples from my own past, but I also share the incredible true stories of people who refused to give up in the face of unbelievable obstacles. These examples will not only rivet the attention of your group, but they will also serve as perfect illustrations of the life-changing concepts I explain.
High in Content – There’s nothing worse than a motivational speaker who is “all fluff!” You know the ones: they just don’t seem to “get to the point,” or worse, when they get to the point, they don’t have anything of substance to offer, nothing that your group can use in the real world. My concepts are proven and are easy for your group to immediately use in their daily lives. By taking action on these important ideas, your attendees can and will see a dramatic difference in their lives!
Magic – That’s right, magic! I use a little magic to further illustrate my concepts in ways that are both fun and engaging for your group. Studies have proven that people retain a lot more when the information is presented in fun visual ways. This is almost unheard of in the speaking field, and it’s just one more method I use to engage your group and help them enjoy the presentation.
Decades of Experience – There’s nothing more painful than watching an inexperienced motivational “speaker” who drops his/her notes, avoids eye contact with your group and speaks in a monotone… All of this can not only make for a long, boring program, but it can also make YOU look bad! After being an education motivational speaker and presenter for 25 years and after thousands of presentations, I can promise you that I will actively engage your group. No one will fall asleep! Time will fly by because everyone will be enjoying themselves! Not only will I promise it, but I’ll also guarantee it. Speaking of guarantees, here’s…
My Guarantee – You can often judge the quality and effectiveness of a motivational speaker by the guarantee that he/she offers…if any. Many speakers require that anywhere from 50% to the entire fee for their presentation be paid up front, before they even get to your event! Not me. The ONLY deposit I require is my airfare. Here’s the BEST part: If, for any reason, you’re not happy with my presentation you simply do not pay me the balance---with NO questions asked! I travel to all parts of the continental United States, so not only do I know how strong my programs are, but most importantly so do my clients! In fact, out of the thousands of presentations I’ve done, NO ONE has ever taken me up on my guarantee.
Now that you understand how I use different methods to engage and hold the attention of your group, we can turn to the different programs that I can offer you. You see, many motivatioanl speakers merely offer you one speech, on one topic, at one length…and that’s it. There’s no room for customization or flexibility for you, your group or your event.
In this day and age, an effective presenter listens…and based on the needs of his/her clients, offers different program options. With that in mind, let me explain a few different options that you have.

    OPTION 1   

Included Programs:
“The Magic Of Your Potential”

My first option has been one of my most popular programs for many years. It’s called “The Magic Of Your Potential”, and it is available in any length up to 2 hours. This presentation, which works wonderfully well as a “keynote” speech, stresses the overall message that teachers DO make a difference in the lives of the kids. Here are the main topics I cover during this fun and engaging program:
 

1. Every child has potential! Don’t give up on any student.

 

2. Your job as a teacher is incredibly important.

 

3. It’s not what’s happened in the past that matters but what you do in the future that counts!

During “The Magic Of Your Potential", I illustrate these points by telling my own story of how a teacher believed in me when no one else did and how this person literally changed my life.
Here’s an important point: Many motivational speakers just get a group fired up, but when I give a presentation, I want to give my audiences specific “tools” that they can use to change their lives. With that in mind, during the program, I also cover my 7-point success “system” that is suitable for your teachers to use in working with and teaching their students. My 7-point success system is easy to understand, easy to use and can and will change lives.
On a personal note, I firmly believe that teaching is the most important job in the world and I stress this throughout “The Magic Of Your Potential”.

    OPTION 2:   

Included Programs:
“The Magic Of Your Potential”

“How to Motivate Students”

“Stress-Busting For The Millennium”

Many in-service/staff development days are day-long (or longer) events, so to serve the needs of clients in these situations, over the course of several years I’ve developed a 4-hour program. In addition to the keynote that I discussed above, I also do two other presentations for your longer events.
Of course, I should point out that a key benefit to having me present the longer program is the fact that you’re only paying for one presenter to come to your area for a four-hour block of time as opposed to hiring four separate presenters who each offer a one-hour program.
The first additional program is called “How to Motivate Students”. In this day and age, with as fast-paced as our world has become, is it any wonder that many students have a difficult time focusing on their studies? We can blame the media and play the “blame game,” but really, the important thing is to figure out what to DO about the problem! This program discusses general motivation as well as specific techniques to get kids to want to learn. Here are a few details:
  • Intrinsic vs. Extrinsic motivation
  • How “suggestion” influences students
  • The 3 “support beams” of motivation
  • How your communication affects your students’ abilities to learn
  • 5 tried-and-true techniques to motivate students
As with my previous program, “How To Motivate Students”  is presented with a light touch and different techniques such as humor, story telling magic and more in order to effectively engage YOUR group!
In addition to “The Magic Of Your Potential” and “How To Motivate Students” , you also get a third program with this option...
Trying to motivate your students can be stressful…along with trying to balance your career, your personal life as a spouse and/or a parent. While trying to maintain your sanity as you juggle the many “hats” you wear in an increasingly fast-paced world, is it any wonder people are so stressed out?
With that in mind, my final program is a stress reduction workshop that I developed specifically for teachers and human service professionals. It’s called“Stress-Busting For The Millennium”. During this highly entertaining – not to mention useful – presentation, I teach a 3-pronged approach to dealing with, and ultimately, reducing the negative stress in your life. Here are some important details:
  • “The Magic Of Visualization” – How to visualize yourself to a peaceful “state” of mind.
  • “The Anchoring Pattern” – A technique from the Neuro-Linguistic Programming field that will allow you to access relaxation – instantly!
  • “The Relaxing Breath” – A breathing technique that can be done in 2 minutes that makes stress evaporate.
Don’t let terms like “neuro-linguistic programming” and “visualization” fool you into thinking that this presentation is dry, procedural or boring…it’s not! As with everything else that I do, “Stress-Busting For The Millennium” is loaded with humor and the other methods I discussed earlier to give this presentation a “light touch” feel while giving you and your colleagues some effective ways to cope with stress. By taking action on what they learn in this presentation, your attendees can change their lives!
Just to review: All of my programs are not only high in educational content and inspiring, but extremely entertaining as well. During all of my presentations as an education motivational speaker, I use magic and humor liberally to illustrate my points and to hold interest. I am a veteran of over 5000 paid presentations and I know how to “hold” an audience. I guarantee that no one will fall asleep during my program!
In Closing: Since I travel all over the continental United States, my schedule fills up incredibly fast, so I do recommend contacting me TODAY to avoid losing your dates and times. When you do contact me, I encourage you to ask any questions that you like. I promise not to “sell” you. I simply want all of my clients to be fully informed so that they can make the best decision possible for themselves, their group and their event.

I look forward to hearing from you soon!
