His twenty-two years of experience in the leadership field makes him uniquely qualified to deliver on this message.

Speech Synopsis: The Ring in the Rubble: Dig Through Change and Find Your Next Golden Opportunity. (Based on Dr. Bradt’s book of the same name, published by McGraw-Hill). The ring represents the golden opportunity every change creates. The rubble represents the disruption, fear and uncertainty that change often stirs up. Your job as a leader is to find that ring, and lead others to it. In this speech you’ll learn how. Specifically, you’ll be given ten tools, or strategies and tactics for finding opportunity within every change. You will hear inspiring stories and examples of how other leaders have used these tools to turn change and tough times into amazing opportunities. You’ll learn that leadership is an honor and a responsibility to be assumed by each and every member of an organization. You will leave this presentation challenged, inspired and armed with practical ideas and actions to better yourself, your organization, and all those you have the opportunity to serve and influence.
Speech Synopsis: Leave a Golden Legacy (This speech can be delivered as a follow on to The Ring in the Rubble or as a stand alone presentation).
Everyone leaves a legacy. The question is what will your legacy be? In this presentation you will get to actively create your answer to this question. You will be provided specific tools for building your legacy one person, one relationship, and one interaction at a time. You will be challenged and inspired to dream big, to take risks and to reach beyond yourself. You will learn that a leader’s greatest joy comes not from personal triumph, but from inspiring others and leaving them better off for having known you, worked with you or worked for you. A golden legacy is not defined by how many rings of opportunity you find. It’s defined by how many rings you lead others to. In this presentation you’ll learn how.
