David Nour: Program Outlines

As an executive you have a desired strategic outcome from your event. A meeting is a means to an end: your revenue targets are flat, your talent isn't performing at its peak level, you need to successfully launch a new product / service or enter a new market; you've integrated, reorganized, or shuffled the leadership team.

As an association, your members are struggling with many of the same challenges above, and you’re facing competition for mindshare and wallet share of those members from a broad array of options.

Unless those around you, and certainly outsiders you engage invest the time and the effort to understand and focus on delivering outcomes, how will you achieve your Return on Objectives (ROO)?

What should you look for in a professional speaker?

Beyond the critical internal discussions and updates, you need subject matter / domain experts with credible backgrounds, sufficient due diligence, commanding stage presence, and most importantly, the ability to connect with your audience and help them think differently about their unique situation. In essence, you need people who can engage and influence with substance!

Inspiration, motivation, and entertainment value are all important. What about practical, pragmatic, and applicable takeaways? How will the audience be better off after this speaker? What will they be able to do differently when they get to their office? Will this session be remembered or repeated in a year? How about in 20 minutes?
