Inspirational Humor Dan Clark is electrifying! An unforgettable opening or closing general session keynote speech with the perfect blend of facts and feelings, stand-up comedy, video, music, psychology, athletic intensity and inspirational stories, customized around your meeting theme. 45 to 90 minutes for audiences of 20 to 20,000. Dan Clark does more than speak -- he puts on an incredible show!
THE CHALLENGE
Too many times we attend a convention where the opening general session speaker is a "Big Name," yet weak and boring. Consequently, the following sessions suffer in emotion and momentum. If the closing speaker does not tie a positive bow around he convention with a memorable message of action, the meeting ends on a low.
THE SYSTEM SOLUTION
In Dan's powerful, highly entertaining and stirring keynote speeches, he will make you laugh, think, feel and realize that it's easier to act your way into positive thinking than to think your way into positive action. Dan always researches to understand your organizational culture, products and services. He also refers to and interacts with company heroes in your audience by name.
Dan highlights Attitude, Shared Vision, Mutual Respect and Support, Resilience and Urgency and always leaves his audience knowing they can lead, overcome obstacles, think clearly under pressure and excel where they thought they couldn't even compete.
CLARKISM'S
- "People do things for their own reasons, not ours."
- "When our attitude is right, our abilities will always catch up."
- "We do not live to make money. We make money in order to fully live."
- "When we identify ourselves in terms of what we do instead of who we are, we become a human 'doing' instead of a human 'being' - unacceptable if real success is what we seek."
THE PROGRAM GUARANTEE
As the author of the extraordinary corporate management book, "INTERNAL EXCAVATION - Management from the Inside Out" and the author of over 40 audio and video training programs, Dan knows what works, what doesn't and why. Add to that his playful spontaneity, wit, humor, stories, video and music and you have a general session oozing with Sizzle, Depth and Substance! Dan Clark will elevate your conference to the highest level possible!
Team Building / Unity
Whether your organization is reviving a dearly held dream, seeking a new vision, or experiencing an all encompassing merger/acquisition where team members must define their new rules, this program is a must! 45 to 90 minute keynote speech or an expanded half/full day organizational workshop with workbook study guides.
THE CHALLENGE
Organizations are faced with "doing more with less" and keeping morale positive in the process. Consequently, Team Building Seminars are at an all time high. The challenge lies in the fact that most organizations bring in consultants who have never played on a team and without first hand experience, they can only perpetuate ineffective theories like "it's all about team" and "there is no 'i' in team."
THE SYSTEM SOLUTION
It's not just about team. Teams lose! Some of our favorite sports teams lose every game in a lousy last place season. Some teams even make it to the championship game and then lose. They have coaches and managers who know everything about the game and have players who work hard, but they still lose. Corporations go bankrupt every day. Organizations lose effectiveness. It's not just about team, it's about WINNING and winning has two "i's" in it. In an exhilarating multi-media delivery, Dan teaches how the teams that WIN have the most "i" players on them.
CLARKISM'S
- "We are not paid by the hour -- merely for attendance just because we are on the team. We are paid for the value we bring to that hour -- paid for productivity and Winning."
- "Whoever said it's not whether you win or lose that counts, probably lost."
- "When you put an easy to catch horse in the same field with a hard to catch horse, you usually end up with two hard to catch horses. When you put a healthy child in the same room with a sick child, you usually end up with two sick children. To be great you must hang out with the great ones!"
- "Together Everyone Achieves More when no one has any more to give."
THE PROGRAM GUARANTEE
Dan Clark has played and starred on championship teams and has interviewed extraordinary coaches, players and CEO's. He will help your organization redefine "best," build the bridge between Activity and Accomplishment and ignite greater unity within your organization based on commitment relationships. This powerful "Participation Paradigm" will give your people permission to win and teach exactly what it takes to be "i" players on a winning organization.
Change / Leadership
For CEO's, Administrators, Managers, Parents, Educators, and Coaches, who are in the people-building-business. 45 to 90 minute keynote speech or an expanded half/full day life changing seminar with workbook study guides.
THE CHALLENGE
We have been raised to believe that what we have been in the past makes us who we are today. That is why change is an unsettling concept. Change signals an ending -- a letting go of the past. Change tests the limits of what is comfortable. Change requires action when it is our very nature to stand still.
THE SYSTEM SOLUTION
What we have been in the past does not make us who we are today. What we hope to become in the future makes us who we are today. No matter what our past has been we have a spotless future. In this light, change is nothing more than both an intellectual and emotional identification of what matters and a full comprehension of why it matters most. Change creates possibilities. We look to change to energize us, enrich and educate us.
CLARKISM'S
- "Self is not discovered, self is created."
- "Pain is a signal to grow, not to suffer. Once we learn the lesson the pain is teaching us, the pain goes away."
- "Crisis does not make or break the man or woman. It just reveals the true character within."
- "When we stretch and set high expectations and work hard to bring our behavior up to meet those high expectations, we call it 'Accomplishment.' When we become complacent and apathetic and set low expectations and allow our behavior down to meet those low expectations, we call it 'Rationalization.'"
THE PROGRAM GUARANTEE
As one who has fought his way back from a paralizing injury, Dan knows first hand that goals are only an excuse for the game -- we play the game in between the goals. Dan teaches that we must emphasize the journey, not the destination -- to focus on purposes instead of just setting goals that we may create our lives and relationships into exactly what we need.
Sales / Customer Delight
For the rookie and seasoned sales professional/customer service agent who wants the competitive advantage. 45 to 90 minute keynote speech or an expanded half/full day seminar with workbook study guides.
THE CHALLENGE
There is newly developing competition in every industry. To survive, some are slashing prices and compromising quality just to land a deal and maintain market share. There seems to be no integrity, ethics are scarce, cut-throat bad-mouthing between competitors is destroying the trust level of industry wide customers and value seems to be only about money.
THE SYSTEM SOLUTION
Imagine if we never tried new things and only did the things we knew about. Life at work and play would be boring and production would stay stagnant. To generate fulfillment and excitement, we must think like Christoper Columbus and "go beyond the map." In this way, no matter how much progress we make, there is always the thrill of "beginning." Effective Selling is nothing more than a transfer of this "beginning" excitement from you to the prospect.
CLARKISM'S
- "Pressure is not something that is naturally there. It's created when you question your own ability. When you know what you can do, there is never any question."
- "Customer Service is not a department -- it's an Attitude."
- "A customer is part of our company, not an outsider."
- "A customer does not interrupt our work -- he/she is the purpose of it."
- "It's better to build a fence at the edge of the cliff, than to park an ambulance at its base. We've got to get it right the first time."
THE PROGRAM GUARANTEE
As a former CEO of two successful retail companies, Dan will teach your people the difference between doing things right and doing the right things. Sales and Customer Service Delight is not about price, products and services until we "go beyond the map" into Passionate Partnering, Packaging, Positioning, Persisting, and Psychological Reciprocity.
