At your next meeting, do you want a serious, no-nonsense speaker who can challenge your audience? Or do you want an incredibly funny “make me laugh so hard I cry” kind of entertainment? Or both?

Because of interactive technology, attention spans are getting shorter and shorter. Audiences need to be stimulated to stay engaged. You want and need a speaker who does both.  You want someone who can adapt his presentation to your situation. Someone with experience that includes:

• Subway Sandwiches	• Michelin Tires	• Blue Cross Blue Shield New York
• Harley Davidson	• AgReliant Genetics	• Independent Insurance Agents
• Growmark	• M&I Bank	• Multi-Financial Securities
• 3M	• Sysco Food Services	• American Hospital Association

Ask yourself how many of these situations are currently true:

• Our industry is consolidating	• There is a growing perception we are no longer competitive
• Our company might be sold	• There is a reduced demand for our product or service
• We are experiencing price erosion	• We are re-branding our corporate identity
• We have excess capacity	• Good talent is hard to come by and even harder to keep
• Profit margins are shrinking	• Competition is based on price, not our product or service
• Our business is more competitive	• We are experiencing leadership and personnel changes

Navigating the peaks and valleys of organizational change requires leadership and forethought. Change is constant. You are the variable. Your organization is the equation.

How to Identify, Master and Conquer Change™ is an internationally acclaimed keynote speech that combines magic and illusion to illustrate key points.

Here's a recent example: Robert just returned from speaking at a national sales meeting in California. Everyone had flown in that morning. The meeting began at 2:45 pm that afternoon.

The VP of Sales began with a recap of this year’s accomplishments. Then he laid out his vision of the accomplishments he would be congratulating everyone for at next year’s meeting.

The VP of Marketing spoke next. She discussed the new branding initiative that would be introduced at this meeting and how it would reposition the company from #2 to #1 in their primary market.

The President and CEO spoke next. He discussed the changes and challenges the company was facing and laid to rest rumors about the company being sold.

Then Robert was introduced…

There’s always an air of anticipation when the guest speaker is introduced. Who is this person? Why is he here? What is he going to say? Is he any good? Why is this important?

The President and CEO introduced Robert by saying: Our speaker today is an expert at helping individuals and organizations uncover the hidden opportunities of rapid change. Robert Ian is the Author of How To Identify, Master and Conquer Change. Lots of people talk about change. Today Robert will show you how to take control of it. Robert has appeared on ABC, CBS, NBC and the FOX Television Networks and has been a guest on over 250 radio talk shows across America. He has delivered over 2000 speeches and seminars worldwide for clients ranging from Amoco to Zenith. Legendary Head Football Coach, Lou Holtz, calls Robert "A first class act". Let's welcome him with a big round of applause… Robert Ian

Robert is a high-energy speaker. He hits the stage with enthusiasm and excitement. The audience knows he loves what he's doing. It’s contagious. They get energized. Robert get's them involved.

The program begins with several magic and mind reading illusions to illustrate the idea that “by learning to solve the impossible, you can achieve the impossible”.  This puts the idea of conquering change into perspective. That it really is possible. That it’s simply a challenge to be overcome. That it’s nothing more than an opportunity in disguise. And that you are quite capable of doing it right now, with great ease.

The core message helps your audience feel good about the process of change. It features Robert's proprietary list of “20 Questions for Conquering Change™”. A dramatic multi-media presentation reinforces the “can-do” message from his book “How to Identify, Master and Conquer Change™”.

The finale of the program discusses the Great Secret. It’s the Secret behind the magic. It’s the Secret to conquering change. It’s the Secret to finding the hidden opportunity in each situation. The Secret behind all of it is preparation. Robert's closing message will help you underscore your own message about what needs to be done to achieve the goals you have defined for the coming year.
