A presentation on personal development.

 

Within each of us is planted the seed of greatness. It is a potential that is worth more than the jackpot that you might win from a slot machine. Sadly, many people are more willing to try their luck in a gambling casino rather than to take a chance on themselves.

Three barriers that can stop us from taking a chance and creating our winning opportunities are:

  • Fear. Learn to F-A-C-E the fears that prevent you from taking a chance. The first step is to find out what it is that you fear.
  • Comfort. Know when to act, and do not let comfort stop you from taking a chance. You have to be willing to break out of your routine.
  • Indifference. Develop and maintain sources for revitalizing your enthusiasm and replenishing your energy so that indifference does not stunt your growth. You must keep moving forward even after experiencing losses.

Take A Chance is offered as a keynote 20 to 45 minutes long, depending on your program. Clients have requested this presentation to open a conference, convention, or other training program, particularly when held in a location such as Las Vegas or Atlantic City.

Here's an audio excerpt (mp3) and one sheet presentation description (PDF) of the speech delivered as a keynote.

Looking forward to serving you to meet your professional speaking needs.

DOING WHAT IT TAKES

Are you doing what it takes to get what you want?

We have begun a new year on the calendar--2015. It is an ideal time to reflect on 2014. Did you get the things you wished for? Did you accomplish what you planned? Did you benefit from the unexpected?

The new year is also a great time to think about what you'd like your life to be in the next twelve months. Make your resolutions. Set your goals. Dream your dreams. Imagine your future. It doesn't matter whether you call it a resolution, goal, desire, wish, or dream, whatever you want to get this year, you must do what it takes.
