Go to top Do you love growing older? Are you feeling more positive and enthusiastic about life every day? “ It takes no special skills to grow old, but if you want to grow old with enthusiasm, you have to consciously strengthen and nurture your body, your brain, your social involvements, and your character,” says Dr. Ron Kaiser, a health and wellness psychologist who, at 81, leads a lifestyle that makes him the envy of people half his age. The author of What Can Go Right? The Thinking Person’s Guide to Making Good Things Happen and REJUVENAGING: The Art and Science of Growing Older with Enthusiasm , Dr. Kaiser’s transformative talks help his audience actually look forward to aging! His keynotes on “Rejuvenaging” and Positive Psychology will give you the strategies you need to age in a healthy, awesome manner. If you want to end fear of aging once and for all, Dr. Kaiser’s “Rejuvenaging” talk is for you. You’ll learn the 7 keys to making older adulthood the best time of your life and how to take charge of your senior years and own them in a positive way. “Your children and grandchildren may even be jealous because of the enthusiastic way that you’re living this special time of life,” says Dr. Kaiser, who practices what he preaches. In addition to running a busy practice and serving on the staff of two hospitals, he hits the gym three times a week, attends concerts and lectures, and builds meditation and relaxation into his life. He also runs The Mental Health Gym website devoted to helping people think and act positively to maximize their physical and emotional health. But Dr. Kaiser’s talks are not just for those over 50—they’re perfect for future seniors, too. An expert on Positive Psychology and Neuroplasticity (the brain’s ability to grow and change throughout life), his talk about Goal-Achieving Psychology—a concept he developed—gives his audience proven strategies to overcome adversities and negativism so they can strengthen their bodies and minds, boost wellness, and make cutting edge changes that lead to a fuller, more positive lifestyle. One of psychology’s most creative thinkers and a popular speaker, Dr. Kaiser has presented at local, national and international conferences. Takeaway Everyone leaves Dr. Kaiser’s talks with a positive attitude toward aging and the keys to making older adulthood the best time of their lives . Fast Facts Dr. Ron Kaiser has spent more than five decades in the practice of psychology. He’s in the very small minority of people in his age group who take no prescription medication (unless he’s sick, which rarely happens). The concepts he’s created (The Mental Health Gym, Goal-Achieving Psychotherapy, The Type P Personality, The Positive Brain Pyramid), and the books he’s written were all accomplished while working full-time after the age of 70! What people are saying… “ Rejuvenaging is the best book I’ve ever read about getting older. It is grounded in science, enormously practical, and full of heart. A gem.” – Rick Hanson, Ph.D., Author of Resilient: How to Grow an Unshakable Core of Calm, Strength, and Happiness Conferences, Conventions, Trade Shows Expos, Fairs, Retreats Corporations, Non-Profits CEOs, Executive Managers, HR Professionals Team Leaders, Sales Reps Business & Civic Groups Women’s Groups, Career Women Baby Boomers, Millennials Seniors, Retirees Community Organizations Colleges, Universities, Schools, Youth Groups Attorneys, Financial Planners Military, Police, Firefighters, Paramedics Parents, Educators Entrepreneurs, Business Owners, Small Offices Travel Companies, Cruise Lines Therapists, Psychologists, Counselors and Coaches Political & Historical Groups/Associations Churches, Synagogues, Religious Groups Libraries, Museums Hospitality Organizations, Restaurant Associations Health Care Groups, Hospitals, Medical Offices Health Workers, Healers, Caretakers, Cancer Survivors Nursing Programs, Medical Centers Health Spas, Fitness Centers Rehab Centers, Recovery Support Groups Offered as keynotes, breakouts, seminars or workshops, retreats, trainings and webinars, and customized for your group.

REJUVENAGING: The Art and Science of Growing Older with Enthusiasm It takes no special skills to grow old, but if you want to grow old with enthusiasm, you have to consciously strengthen and nurture your body, your brain, your social involvements, and your character. Drawing upon more than five decades of working with clients and patients, Dr. Ron Kaiser has developed 7 keys to developing the psychological core to take ownership of the aging process in a positive and proactive manner. You’ll learn how to… Stop fearing old age Master the 7 keys to making older adulthood the best time of your life Make your body and brain work for you Take charge of your senior years and own them in a positive way Whether you are retired, planning to do so, or plan to never do so, you’ll leave Dr. Ron’s presentation with life-altering, active strategies that make you wish you’d grown older faster! You’ll make your children and grandchildren jealous because of the enthusiastic way that you’re living this special time of life. Goal-achieving Psychology: The Psychology for Life Historically, psychologists have focused their efforts on mental illness, rather than wellness. Dr. Ron Kaiser is not part of that tradition. With a background in the study and practice of Positive Psychology and Neuroplasticity (the brain’s ability to grow and change in a positive direction throughout the lifespan), he has developed Goal-Achieving Psychology. His approach sees psychotherapy as being the mental health equivalent of going to the gym with an emphasis on proactive strategies for maximum personal growth and the development of the healthy “Type P Personality.” Goal-directed activity is emphasized, and wallowing is discouraged. You’ll learn how to… Utilize the new fields of positive psychology and positive neuroplasticity to make cutting edge changes to live a fuller and more positive lifestyle Launch practical strategies to overcome adversities and negativism so that you can focus on personal growth and wellness Employ the best exercises for strengthening your body, mind, and personality development Dr. Ron’s presentations are always interactive, informative and entertaining, and you’ll leave with a commitment and a set of strategies for strengthening your psychological core.

Go to top Are you frustrated because life’s roadblocks and challenges keep you from reaching your dreams ? “Change your thinking and you change your life,” says Tom Sockwell, whose energetic, heartfelt talk presents his proven 5-action-step formula that helps students, teachers, and any audience rise above negative circumstances to express their unique gifts and talents. “In just 30 days, you can change a habit, and in 90 days, it becomes a permanent change for life,” says Tom. And it’s not just talk. A series of tragedies in his childhood challenged Tom to the max. When he was 8, his father died, and a few years later, his mother had a mental breakdown and went insane. Forced to support himself at an early age, Tom’s education was thwarted, but his passion for learning grew stronger, and while driving a truck for a living, he devoured books on tape. To deal with crippling anxiety and panic attacks, he became a Life Coach, Reiki Master, and Tibetan Breath Master, and today he shows students, educators, and any audience how to deal with life’s obstacles and transform setbacks into success. “Change your thoughts and you change your life” is Tom’s powerful message, as he deeply connects with his audience, jumpstarts their self-confidence, and helps them turn what they perceive as negative “differences” into positive strengths. If you’re a student whose grades don’t reflect your abilities, or a teacher who can’t control your class because of “the tyranny of the few,” you’ll learn how to stop making excuses, focus on your abilities, and replace old thinking patterns with new ones so you can succeed in spite of your current circumstances. A Strategic Life Coach and Certified Trainer for the “Time to Teach” program developed by CTE (Center for Teacher Effectiveness), Tom gives you the keys to restoring your confidence and reclaiming self-esteem. Combining his rich life experience in both the white and blue collar worlds with his background in classroom management and enhanced learning, Tom connects deeply with each audience member, inspiring them to believe in themselves once again and resolve to never give up. His energy and enthusiasm engulf the room and take over every participant. You’ll leave this life-changing talk infused with hope and confidence, convinced that you really do have the power to change your thoughts and take back your life.

Do you know that you have the power to change your circumstances so that nothing can hold you back? In this powerful keynote presentation, Tom Sockwell shows how to overcome negative thoughts, change your perception of who you are and your true potential, and create the life you want. You’ll delete the word “can’t” from your vocabulary as you learn that “different” does not mean “defective, and that others can never define who you are unless you allow them to. Tom’s ability to connect deeply with each person in the audience provides a safe place to analyze your trials and successes, repair your self-image, and believe in yourself again. Everyone leaves this motivating keynote armed with Tom’s powerful 5-step program that changes thoughts into feelings – and then into actions that transform their lives. Meet Tom Sockwell… Tom Sockwell has spent many years lecturing and teaching individual performance enhancement, improved communication, and leadership development. He pursued his undergraduate studies at Central State University, Ohio, and received his Master’s Degree in Natural Medicine from Trinity College in Indiana. More recently, he became a nationally certified CTE (Center for Teacher Effectiveness) trainer, demonstrating and installing the “Time-to-Teach” system of classroom management and enhanced learning at all levels of primary and secondary education. Tom brings additional training in Tibetan breath control, meditation, and Reiki energy work to his counseling. This gives him extensive knowledge of the relationship between body, mind, and spirit and their ultimate unity. He has lectured and keynoted at Learning Light Center in Orange County, California, and Sherman Indian High School in Riverside, where he presented cutting-edge techniques that addressed students’ survival needs and gave them a long-term blueprint for successful living. For the past decade, Tom and his family has made Riverside, California, their home. What people are saying… Tom is a highly-motivated and enthusiastic person who cares about uplifting his fellow man. His energy and authenticity enable people to take away a wealth of valuable information from his presentation. I have known Tom to be a man of integrity who has exhibited a genuine fearlessness in the pursuit of truth. – Dr. Anita Gadhia-Smith, author of From Addiction to Recovery: A Therapist’s Personal Journey, www.practicaltherapy.net I would highly recommend Tom to as many people as possible because his message is very effective and motivating to people at all levels. His advice and tips for success are practical and necessary for anybody looking for peace of mind in their world. – Elizabeth Estrada, American Red Cross, Western Region, Editor-in-Chief of www.uplifetheworld.com Tom has a divine gift of connecting with people at the core level. He’s an outstanding listener, extremely resourceful, and the most caring coach I have ever met. He cares so much that he jumps into helping and coaching right away! – Paola Montalba When I started with Tom, I was on anxiety medication… a walking Zombie, afraid to feel my feelings because I thought I would die if I looked over my life. Tom gave me the courage to talk about the difficult things that I swore I would never admit to myself, let alone anyone else. Because of this journey, I have become a better woman, wife and friend. I’ve lost 48 pounds and gained much-needed peace in my life. I would recommend this wonderful man to guide anyone to becoming the best you can be. – Delores Washington, Logistics Analyst Tom is a gentleman who is Our Founder Susan Levin Speakers Directory Find a Speaker Overview Topic Location TEDx Speakers Fee Free Browse the Directory Let Us Find Your Speaker Be a Speaker Overview Build Your Career Browse the Directory Get Listed How it Works Speaker Intake Form Payment Plans Testimonials Speaker Testimonials Event Planner Testimonials About Us Our Team Our Founder Companies Using Us FAQs Info Packet Contact Select Page Our Founder, Susan Elaine Levin November 15, 1944 – November 1, 2013 As Susan Levin liked to tell it, one morning she got the idea in the shower (where she got all her good ideas) that she should “do something with speakers.” So, she rushed to Radio Shack, but then had the feeling she was on the wrong track. Now, as I (Jean-Noel Bassior) recall it, when Susan told me about the “speakers” idea, I said, “I just heard this ad on the radio. It’s for an agency that supplies speakers for free.” “That’s it!” said Susan, lighting up. “It’s not about speakers… It’s about people who want to be speakers. That’s what I’m supposed to do.” And so, Speaker Services was born. We started it together at that moment, but I was a working journalist, and not much good as a business partner. Susan, on the other hand, was looking for a new direction in life. After a brief stint as a teacher right out of college in New York, where she grew up, she ran a health food store and then came west to California, where the artsy climate of Venice Beach ignited her creativity. I didn’t know her in those days, when she was waitressing at cafes by night and designing baskets and rainbow-colored clothes by day. In fact, I was amazed when Susan (who hated driving in L.A.) showed me photos of a van she’d piloted up and down the West Coast, filled with arts and crafts she sold from town to town. So when the “speaker” idea hit Susan in the mid-90s, the timing was right. She wanted a new career and had the energy and desire to build a thriving business. We pulled that phrase “ speakers for free ” from the radio ad and created a bi-monthly print directory with the same name, where people willing to speak for free could advertise. Susan ran the business 24/7, and I wrote the listings between assignments. It was an innovative idea – a paid listing service for speakers, not a bureau – and event planners jumped at the chance to get speakers for free. Heartfelt testimonials poured in from groups and organizations who needed speakers, and from the speakers themselves. Everyone was happy. The people who listed in the Directory were getting calls and gaining experience as they spoke for free – and many were turning free gigs into paid ones. Even the radio station where I’d heard the ad sent a letter thanking us for what we were doing. It turned out that the spot was for a speakers bureau the station ran as a public service; they were flooded with calls and grateful to have us as a resource. (We didn’t mention that we’d stolen the name from their ad copy.) Then Susan, who loved to be on the cutting edge, noticed that, as technology exploded, this new thing called the Web was becoming more business-friendly. Some people were even ditching print to go online. Should we jump on the bandwagon, phase out the print version of Speakers for Free, and head for cyberspace? That was scary, but Susan, as usual, saw the future. And so the online Speakers Directory was born. It was a good move, and somewhere along the way, Susan changed the name to Speaker Services. She expanded the business to train and nurture new speakers, and she and presentation coach Jack Barnard, with whom she worked closely for many years, developed the Speakers Summit, Speakers Bootcamp, and many other live events where speakers could hone their skills. Susan’s passion was working with those just starting out, and though she could have parlayed these events into pricey workshops in the $5000-10,000 range, she had no interest in doing that. “I want to stay small,” she would say, adding that what she loved most was working with newbies, teaching the basics. And so, if you called Speaker Services, it was Susan herself who answered the phone – no personal assistant, ever. And if you got voice mail, she called you back. Though I was busy as a journalist, specializing in celebrity interviews, I continued to write the listings for the Directory, and in 2011, Susan and I started doing more coaching together. Though we had worked jointly with clients in the past, this was different. We were combining our energies in a new way. Again, the timing was right. I’d just written my first book and preferred being an author to a journalist, and Susan was more open than ever before to this kind of partnership. Enter LA Talk Live in the winter of 2013, an Internet radio/TV studio in Los Angeles. Susan had appeared as a guest on longtime friend Suzy Prudden’s talk show, and the next day (in the shower, of course) she got an idea. “Do you want to do a TV show?” she asked. As a longtime talk show junkie, of course I wanted to do it, though I was scared and so was she. But, pushing and pulling each other, we kicked and screamed our way into it and created a show called “ Talk Up Your Biz .” Susan produced it, lining up stellar guests week after week, month after month, two or three per show. It was an opportunity to spotlight the speakers in the Directory, but she reached out to publishers, agents, authors and business gurus as well (Her favorite was Brian Smith, inventor of Ugg boots), and I was constantly amazed at who she corralled for the show. Producing a talk show is a huge job, and I worried that it was too much to add to her workload, but she clearly wanted to do it. And when the viewer stats came in after three months, our jaws dropped: over 287,000 hits. Unbelievable! Soon we added another show that I hosted and Susan produced called “The Book Beat.” It was an opportunity for me to interview speakers and authors, and once again, Susan brought in the best. The show gave us more air time to feature guests, but it was also Susan’s gift to me. I’d been a print reporter longing to do broadcast journalism, and now I had my own talk show! I couldn’t have done it without Susan as the wind beneath my wings. Meanwhile, our coaching was thriving. We discovered that we were a great team, combining our expertise to help clients get their message “out there,” through speaking, to the world. And then, suddenly, Susan got sick, and after a brief illness, passed away on November 1, 2013. She was 68. It felt like this came as we were just taking off; clearly, there was a larger picture that we both couldn’t see. Susan’s brother, David, offered to give me the business in 2014, and of course I accepted. And so Speaker Services continues, based on the traditions that Susan Levin established. We work with speakers at all stages in their careers, but those starting out are especially welcome here. Susan used to say that “it’s all about connection,” and that’s what she loved to do most. I used to tell people that Susan “networked the world,” and as Speaker Services continues to bring speakers and audiences together, we’ll do our best to honor her legacy. ~ Jean-Noel Bassior From left to right – Susan Levin and Paula Correia on vacation. Susan at a networking event, July 2007. Business partner Jack Barnard, and Susan’s longtime love, Cassius Weathersby, at her memorial service. I announced Susan’s death on Facebook and YouTube with the following tributes… IN MEMORIAM: My dear friend Susan Levin Fearless Facebooker, shameless Tweeter, Wise Woman of Speaking (a title she loved), founder (with me) of Speaker Services, lightning quick mind she hid well, sure of her truth (some said stubborn), her drummer out front, ahead of the rest, doing it her way or the highway on Planet Earth, and now in the Light—my close friend and colleague Susan Levin, who passed away Friday, November 1, 2013. You always were impatient, but I didn’t think you’d leave so soon.

Here’s what your group will gain from her two popular keynote presentations: MINDFUL AGING That we age is inevitable. How we age is largely up to us. As the last of the Baby Boomers have now turned 50 and another 10,000 of their generation retire each day, a huge number of Americans find themselves confronted with the changes and challenges that come with aging and older age. Many find themselves asking: How can I age well? Or, more specifically, How can I be my happiest and healthiest, live to my highest potential, and make the greatest difference up until my dying day? In this special seminar, noted author, speaker, and psychotherapist Dr. Andrea Brandt provides the evidence-based answers to those crucial questions as well as the tools you’ll need to truly transform your life and continue thriving for the rest of your days. You’ll hear stories drawn from real-life situations, combined with Dr. Brandt’s endearing “let’s get real” no-nonsense communication style. You’ll go home with a catalog of powerful strategies and simple exercises that help you begin to age more mindfully and experience the happiness and vitality that result.

Her compelling presentations give you simple, practical strategies for expressing feelings constructively, encouraging honest communication, setting and maintaining boundaries, and creating richer, more rewarding relationships with family members, friends, coworkers—and in every area of life. The author of Mindful Anger: A Pathway to Emotional Freedom and 8 Keys to Eliminating Passive-Aggressiveness , Dr. Brandt shows how to: Release long-held fears about expressing anger and dealing with conflict Transform anger and conflict into healthy, positive relationships Identify and eliminate passive-aggressive behavior in yourself and others Create closer, more satisfying intimate relationships by using anger and conflict productively Recognize and change self-sabotaging behavior in yourself and others Apply simple mindfulness skills to release toxic stress and improve physical, mental, and emotional health Dr. Brandt’s focus on dealing with anger and passive-aggressiveness was shaped by her childhood in Chicago, where her paternal grandfather was murdered by the mafia. Because the family’s anger, sadness, and despair were never fully expressed or healed, the whole family suffered, and it became her passion to help others use conflict and anger to heal family ties and strengthen business and personal relationships.

Go to top Caroline Rose is a three-time Stage IV cancer survivor. When she was initially diagnosed, she was in the best shape of her life. A pre-med student at USC, she had just run her 7th marathon and was training to climb Mount Kilimanjaro when she found out she had Stage IV, highly aggressive, incurable non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma. She was 27 years old. “Since this cancer didn’t have a cure, I struggled with knowing how to live while waiting to possibly die,” Caroline recalls. And yet, she didn’t give up. In fact, Caroline didn’t defeat cancer once – she beat it three times ! Caroline Rose’s inspiring talk brings help and hope to anyone dealing with cancer or with any life challenge that feels like too much to bear. Through her amazing story, you’ll learn how she found the inner strength to never give up, to survive against all odds – and how you can tap that same power in yourself. After her second bout with cancer, Caroline and her husband had their daughter via IVF; then a miracle pregnancy gave them their son. Then one day, when her daughter was two and her son five weeks old, a look in the mirror shockingly revealed the raised lymph nodes that told Caroline all she needed to know: Her cancer was back for the third time. That, she says, is when her real battle began, only this time, she had two young children. The game had changed. “That third time, cancer picked the wrong opponent,” she says, “because it was NOT going to take me away from my children.” Caroline’s favorite part of speaking is when audience members approach her afterward and tell her that because of her story and her courage, they are given hope. “Because if we don’t have hope,” she asks, “what the hell is the point?” Takeaway Caroline Rose’s story is one of courage, hope and survival. Your audience will leave her heartfelt talk with courage to navigate through their struggle and hope that a rainbow awaits them on the other side. Fast Facts Caroline has run 7 marathons, including Boston and New York. Her son made medical history as the second reported case of a natural pregnancy after a chemo/bone marrow transplant and has been written up in several medical journals! She “absolutely loves animals” and has been deeply involved in several dog rescue organizations. What people are saying… “Caroline Rose is a beautiful, strong, brave and courageous woman who inspires and captures her audience with her story.” – Meg Symes, Executive Director, Cancer Support Community, Pasadena Conferences, Conventions, Trade Shows Expos, Fairs, Retreats Corporations, Non-Profits Parties, Events of all types CEOs, Executive Managers, HR Professionals Team Leaders, Sales Reps Business & Civic Groups Women’s Groups, Career Women Baby Boomers, Millennials Seniors, Retirees Community Organizations Colleges, Universities, Schools, Youth Groups Military, Police, Firefighters, Paramedics Parents, Educators Entrepreneurs, Business Owners, Small Offices Therapists, Psychologists, Counselors and Coaches Churches, Synagogues, Religious Groups Christian Groups Entertainment Venues Health Care Groups, Hospitals, Medical Offices Health Workers, Healers, Caretakers, Cancer Survivors Nursing Programs, Medical Centers Health Spas, Fitness Center Rehab Centers, Recovery Support Groups The Power of Hope Hope is present in all situations. It may not look the way we want it to, but it’s still there and ours for the taking. This healing presentationI helps people find hope in the midst of the deepest despair. “True human connection is found in the darkest sorrows, and the brightest rainbows are revealed on the other side,” says Caroline, and her riveting personal journey proves her point. “Healing oneself is impossible if we don’t have hope,” she adds. Because without it, what the hell is the point?” Surviving Cancer Caroline Rose has survived against all the odds. She has lived the fear of the diagnosis and understands the emotional impact cancer has on the lives of both the patient and the caregiver. The audience will leave with specific tips and strategies for dealing with the impact of the diagnosis, tried and true methods to deal with the side-effects of the treatments, tips for caregivers, and suggestions for entering life after cancer. Life After Cancer Beating cancer is only half the battle. Life after cancer can be just as scary and lonely as the treatment itself. Caroline can relate to this challenging state in a survivor’s life and offers encouragement and hope to those who need it the most. Parenting through Difficult Times We all want to be our best selves for our children, but at the same time, we have our personal struggles. How do we parent through the difficulties life brings our way? Caroline offers up wisdom and hard-earned life lessons for helping ourselves so that we can show up for others. Finding True Human Connection in Struggle Caroline Rose understands what it means to live in pain. She also knows what it means to rise above it, and she attributes her three-time cancer survival to the incredible healing power of community and love. Through the courageous telling of her story, Caroline invites her audience to consider their own struggles as an opportunity for connection and reveals how we, as a group, can better come together to lift each other up from the darkness and into the light. Persevering through Life’s Challenges Are you overwhelmed by the challenges and obstacles you’re facing? Caroline Rose understands all too well how tempting it can be to give up when life’s burdens feel too heavy to carry. This three-time cancer survivor recounts one moment in particular when she told the nurse to take all the medications away because she was done and ready to leave this earth. And yet, somehow she found the inner strength to hang on through endless pain and suffering. Caroline’s brave retelling of her personal experience will motivate and inspire your audience as they relate to the sometimes seemingly impossible challenges we must face and overcome. Meet Caroline Rose… I was born in 1977 in Louisville, Kentucky. At an early age, I moved to San Antonio, Texas. My childhood was dedicated to competing on the national hunter-jumper circuit with my horse, Brimstone. After earning our state and national ranking, I decided to retire Brimstone and walk away from riding for a life outside of the horse show world. After high school, I attended Vanderbilt University in Nashville, Tennessee. During my four years at Vandy, I spent one summer studying art in Paris, another summer in New York City interning for an international public relations agency, and a semester in Florence, Italy, studying art and Italian culture.

Go to top Are you searching for ways to take your team (or your entire business) to the next level? Learning to better leverage individual and gender-dominated strengths could be the answer to boosting your bottom line. After spending the early part of her career as an economist, and the last 10 years as a business executive at well-known technology companies, including Yahoo, Cornerstone, and Fox Audience Network, Jaime Hansen knows the challenges confronting women in business. But her take is different from current mainstream rhetoric, and she excels at engaging leaders (both current and future) to find fresh solutions. “It’s not about fairness and equality,” says Jaime. “Those ideologies are important, but they’re irrelevant in business. Business is all about innovation, competition, and the bottom line.” It’s within this context that Jaime speaks to both women and men in any industry about the proven advantages of better leveraging their diverse strengths and perspectives. The author of Expanding the Conversation , her thought-provoking presentations focus on perception, intention, and opportunity , and how to use each to your advantage. Jaime excels at engaging leaders to think about challenges in new ways. Her business acumen is matched only by her passion for innovation, and she leaves both men and women across all industries feeling empowered and excited about new strategies and solutions. Leaders learn how to better utilize their employees, cultivate failure (yes, encourage failure!), reframe positioning for both the company and the individual, and harness their personal strengths to better align with their goals and interests. And you’ll learn how words, labels and “intended action” can lead to real change and innovation in ways you never dreamed possible. Takeaway Leaders at all levels gain pragmatic tools to take their teams to the next level, and everyone leaves Jaime Hansen’s inspiring, interactive presentations with renewed energy and optimism about both their business and their career. Fast Facts Jaime has formed business partnerships on six continents with companies in digital media and software technology, enabling her to learn from other unique styles and cultures firsthand. During a brief foray at a startup (before being lured back to the corporate scene), Jaime oversaw her company’s strategy and operations for Southern California and grew volume by 343% in less than one year! In her journey from economist to tech exec to writer, Jaime found that the most interesting people consistently seek out new challenges and interests and believes that “when you’re genuinely interested in one thing, it inevitably leads to something else.” What people are saying… “As a Venture Capitalist, I invest in two things: ideas and people. In my experience, those that build diverse teams—employing different perspectives—those are the teams that thrive. Expanding the Conversation makes you think about how different gender and personality characteristics can be used to complement and enhance. A great read for leaders growing their teams today, and those looking to do so in the future.” – Jesse, Draper, Founding Partner, Halogen Ventures Best-fit Audiences Conferences / Conventions / Trade Shows Corporations / Non-profits CEOs / Exec Managers / HR Professionals Team Leaders / Sales Reps Women’s Groups / Career Women Baby Boomers / Millennials Colleges & Universities Entrepreneurs / Small Business Owners Presentations Offered as keynotes, breakouts, seminars or workshops, retreats, trainings and webinars, and customized for your group. Jaime Hansen also enjoys participating as a panel guest or moderator in round-table, conversational settings. Perception and Reality: Two Sides of the Same Coin Do people perceive you the way you think they do? It’s nice to think that actions speak louder than words, but do they? Words, labels, preconceived notions and ideas—they all affect our perception of someone long before we have time to evaluate what’s real and what’s not. In fact, more often than not, perception becomes the reality, in both business and in life. In this thought-provoking presentation, Jaime Hansen reveals how language, biases, and even posture can dramatically affect how people perceive us and how it can alter our perceptions of others and their businesses. You’ll leave with an awareness of what image you’re really presenting to the world and the tools to better create—and control—the perception you desire. Beyond the Boys Club: Leveraging Gender Differences to Achieve Career Success Men and women are equal, yes, but not for a minute the same. There is a lot of talk these days about equality between the genders, but Jaime Hansen takes a fresh, new look at the concept of ‘fairness’ in the workplace. In Hansen’s eyes, it’s simply irrelevant in business. In this energetic presentation, she presents data plus real-life stories and strategies to showcase how both men and women can leverage their unique characteristics and strengths (especially in conjunction with one another) to create stronger, more innovative teams and businesses. Intentional Leadership Are you an intentional leader? Drawing on her book, Expanding the Conversation, Jaime shows how to develop “intentional leadership” since both the audience and the leaders are constantly evolving. With her trademark enthusiasm, Jaime outlines specific actions in order to cultivate failure, flaunt authenticity, and design with purpose. Leaders—both current and future— will leave Jaime’s discussion feeling not only inspired and motivated to think outside the box, but empowered with tools to actually execute their vision. How Diversity Drives Innovation “Diversity” and “Innovation” are two often-used buzzwords in business today. But when paired and put through the lens of cause and effect, these concepts become exhilarating. Drawing on her book, Expanding the Conversation , Jaime explores the idea that although diversity can play across race, gender, age, and ethnicity, at its core it’s really about different experiences and characteristics bringing forth nuanced perspectives. With her trademark energy and data-backed evidence, Jaime explains how leaders can extract those perspectives through intentional actions. Meet Jaime B. Hansen… After graduating from Northwestern University with a degree in math and economics, Jaime started her career as an economist in Washington, DC. Then, in 2005, while she was attending business school at Duke University, an internship with Sports Illustrated on their ‘new’ website ignited her interest in the technology sector, and upon graduation she moved to California to pursue it further.

The Christian Journey of Healing from Trauma and PTSD This powerful talk about healing enables Christians to forgive at the deep level where they find freedom to become what God has called them to be. Christians often struggle to seek the help they need when they have been traumatized. The inner dialogue goes something like this:“Do I go to a counselor? I’m angry about what happened to me—but I’m not supposed to be! I’m told to forgive, but it’s so hard and I feel guilty because sometimes I can’t.” These are some of the issues Christians struggle with when they have been traumatized and need to heal.

The changes wrought by this Digital Revolution mean that the world of 2071 will be as different from the world of 2017 as the world of 1850 was from the world of 1750. But given our history as a species, the journey to 2071 could be dangerous—if not deadly— for most of us. Of course, if you were born after 1985, this is less a Revolution and more an Evolution! To thrive in this new world, you must become a more powerful leader. Powerful leaders are highly self-aware, effectively networked, and are able to persevere and learn. And they’re prepared to explore “disruptive spiritualities” that comfort in difficult times and provoke when we grow complacent. In his energetic presentation, Alisdair provides the strategies you need to turn you and your audience into powerful leaders so you can thrive in the midst of dramatic change. This interactive presentation offers specific skills for both emerging and seasoned leaders whose goal is to co-create a world that’s safe for all people in the midst of these dramatically changing times. You’ll learn how to co-create new ways of living sustainable, healthy lives with the other inhabitants of this small, blue planet and how to work and live together to build better organizations and communities. Tech systems and networks are getting smarter all the time while most of us are playing games and watching Netflix. If we are to thrive in this new age, we must be better, more vigilant humans, for ourselves and for each other. How can you lead and thrive in this complex tim e?

Go to top Can adding accessibility help more people find and enjoy your business, product, service, website, media or live event? “People with disabilities make up 20% of the global population,” says captioning and accessibility expert Svetlana Kouznetsova , who happens to be deaf. Svetlana helps business owners, media producers, corporations, event organizers, and educational institutions make their websites, media, and events accessible, and she’s an expert in captioning access. But how do you add accessibility to your business, website or event? How do you find the right kind of captioning? Is it expensive? Where to start? Svetlana’s fun, informative talks are done in American Sign Language, voiced by interpreters, captioned in English, and customized for your group. You’ll see how accessibility and quality captioning can boost your ROI and connect you with a new world of clients, customers, viewers, website visitors and live audiences who’d love to know more about your product, service, media or live event. You’ll learn how to… Find the best accessibility solutions for your product, service, media or event Capture new viewers and take your audience to a new and diverse level Choose quality captioning over “craptioning” (inferior products) Better communicate with disabled people, the largest minority Get answers to all your accessibility questions and concerns The author of Sound Is Not Enough: Captioning as Universal Design , a TEDx speaker, and a founder of Audio Accessibility, Svetlana shares the moving personal story of how captioning changed her life when she was fifteen years old. She also offers a frank and humorous glimpse into her daily experience, as she navigates through deafness and communication barriers. “Many people think that deafness is a weakness, but I have proven otherwise through my consulting and international speaking,” she says. Takeaway The audience learns first-hand about user experience and accessibility from an experienced consultant who is deaf and gains a unique perspective about people with disabilities – the largest and most ignored minority. Fast Facts Svetlana’s deafness hasn’t prevented her from communicating in 5 languages and learning even more languages! Her education spans grade school in her native Russian to graduate school in English – her third language – including seven years in regular schools where she was the only deaf student and didn’t have any formal communication access services. Svetlana’s consulting has helped many organizations and individuals become more aware of the needs of people with disabilities and more proactive in accessibility. What people are saying… “Svetlana presented on communication access at HighEdWeb New England, which I chaired. Throughout our preparation for her talk Svetlana shared her expertise, set high standards, and helped ensure that our strategies for access would be successful. I learned a lot from this process and from her presentation. Svetlana is a passionate and articulate advocate for accessibility, a moving and experienced storyteller, and an excellent teacher.” – Sven Aas, Chair of HighEdWeb New England 2016 Conferences, Conventions, Trade Shows Expos, Fairs, Retreats Corporations, Non-Profits Parties, Events of all types CEOs, Executive Managers, HR Professionals Team Leaders, Sales Reps Business & Civic Groups Women’s Groups, Career Women Baby Boomers, Millennials Seniors, Retirees Community Organizations Colleges, Universities, Schools, Youth Groups Attorneys, Financial Planners, Investors Military, Police, Firefighters, Paramedics Emergency Preparedness, Risk Management Parents, Educators Entrepreneurs, Business Owners, Small Offices Tech/Electronics Specialists & Hobbyists Travel Companies, Cruise Lines Therapists, Psychologists, Counselors and Coaches Political & Historical Groups/Associations Libraries, Museums Entertainment Venues Hospitality Organizations, Restaurant Associations Health Care Groups, Hospitals, Medical Offices Health Workers, Healers, Caretakers, Cancer Survivors Nursing Programs, Medical Centers Health Spas, Fitness Centers Realtors, Real Estate Associations, Property Owners Rehab Centers, Recovery Support Groups Keynotes All presentations are customized for your audience How Accessibility for the World’s Largest Minority Increases ROI for Your Business Did you know that people with disabilities make up 20% of the global population? They make the world’s largest minority, but their needs are sadly the most misunderstood and ignored. They are often dismissed from the diversity and inclusion equation. Accessibility benefits everyone, and not just those with disabilities. In fact, it can actually increase your business’s bottom line. In this talk, Sveta shares her personal experience as a deaf consultant and explores what needs to be done to make products and services accessible. Accessibility needs to be baked into any process from the beginning, rather than being an afterthought. It’s every team member’s responsibility to make their products and services accessible regardless of the type of industry they work in. When you do this, everyone wins! Accessibility through the Deaf Lens: Coding and Beyond Are your team members struggling with accessibility, or how to implement it? While a lot of web accessibility guidelines are focused on coding, there are other accessibility components that all team members need to consider in order to improve the overall product or service from the beginning of any project. In this talk, Sveta shares her personal experience as a deaf person and some examples of accessibility issues and solutions. They may be new to some and sound like common sense to others, but sadly there are many products and services that fail at accessibility. The talk will help developers and their team members better understand why accessibility is not just about coding and why it’s not to be seen as an afterthought. Accessibility for Deaf People: Beyond Video Captions and Sign Language When people think about accessibility for deaf and hard of hearing individuals, video captioning and sign language, interpreting automatically comes to mind. But it goes beyond that. What about webinars, live events, telecommunications, emergency situations, education, employment, and so on? The vast majority of deaf and hard of hearing don’t know sign language to benefit from interpreters, and not everyone can lipread or benefit from hearing devices. Sveta’s presentation will help attendees better understand that not all deaf and h Find a Speaker in the Speaker Services Directory Find a Speaker Thanks for your interest in the Speaker Services Directory.

Go to top Kevin Catlin’s colorful past is present in all his speeches and classes. Fresh out of high school and the army, working in a fish market, his goal was to “just get by”—until Fate gave him an opportunity. As a salesman riding the computer boom of the ’80s, his income skyrocketed from $1,200 to $20,000 a month until self-destructive behavior caught up with him and he lost everything. Then Catlin made a personal and professional U-turn that transformed his life, and his passionate talk shows how the techniques he used can work for you. “I studied why some people command more of life’s bounty than others,” he says, “and I learned the biggest secret of success, which can be taught and learned.” You’ll leave Kevin Catlin’s powerful presentations moved by his stories, humorous approach and obvious and contagious passion.

You’ll learn how great leaders use their excellent “sales” skills to communicate their belief in their mission to those who will carry it out. “A great leader acts as both coach and mentor,” “A source of inspiration leading to organizations that demand excellence in themselves” says Kevin, “Leadership is a learned behavior combining authenticity, EQ (Emotional Intelligence), and the ability to communicate and create followership. Would your team, workgroup, companies choose you to lead them if they could choose? Selling Skills for People Who Don’t Like to Sell Any frontline employees who have to sell or negotiate will benefit greatly from this talk, breakout session or class. Do you enjoy selling and negotiating ? or dread it? 99% of us hate to sell but know we have to, whether it’s selling our services, pitching a new idea to the boss, motivating a colleague, or closing a deal for our company, we are selling everyday. “When I ask my audiences who has been to a class for selling or negotiating the number is miniscule”. “People tell me, ‘I’m on the phone all day, but I don’t know how to sell!’ Managing Partner at Insight Strategies, Inc. Kevin Catlin’s dynamic, interactive talk solves that problem once and for all, and his powerful, step-by-step method makes selling fun and enjoyable. “Selling has changed dramatically in the last 20 years. People are very savvy and should not be insulted with pure technique”. “You can learn how to express yourself in a way that gets people to listen and motivates them to act,” he says, adding that many leaders and historic figures we admire were excellent salespeople. You’ll learn the importance of a good opening, get comfortable with negotiating – and close more sales without the hard sell! Power, Poise and Presence: Influence and persuade whether it’s 1 or 1000 people This is an ideal session for keynote, breakout or best of all a class with interactive and personal coaching from Kevin. “It usually takes me three weeks to prepare a good impromptu speech” -Mark Twain This is an ideal session for keynote, breakout or best of all a class with interactive and personal coaching from Kevin.

When his turn came he slowly made his way to the podium, put his hands on the sides surveyed his audience for several long moments and said “Why me, why invite me to address you when I and the people II represent are not free on this independence day” Now that is how you open a speech! Kevin teaches you to immediately engage your listener in all forms of persuasion. Dynamic speaking, influencing even leadership requires we gain and hold the attention of our listener. The opener is one of several keys. Don’t blow it with thank you statements slides and inanities. What about nerves? Can they be conquered? “Absolutely”, Kevin says. “Nerves are appropriate and even desirable, its just not managing them that debilitates the speaker” “I can help definitely with that” Attendees of this speech, seminar or class will know how to prepare for their specific audience, pull them in from the first moment they begin, deliver powerful stories, quotes and metaphor and close with a stirring call to action, all while controlling their message, audience and their anxiety. How to Get Your S–t Together and Quit Being a Dumbass This talk is for at-risk teens or people struggling or would benefit by taking charge of their own lives. So many of us make bad choices, but don’t beat yourself up because that is not going to help. Remember: The reasons you are struggling are not the excuse; they’re the things you need to get over. We can talk about “why” forever, but the challenge is to change course and do something different ? and that’s where this talk can help. The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result. Let’s break the cycle.

At last, you can win the daily struggle to be clean and sober forever! Motivational speaker and recovering drug-addict-turned-minister Willie Holloway saved himself from the addiction and childhood abuse that plunged him into a life of drugs, sex, violent behavior, auto accidents and repeated suicide attempts, and today he shares the powerful strategies he used to help others end their nightmare once and for all. Reverend Holloway’s life-changing presentation shows audiences how to: Recognize they have a problem Identify triggers that cause relapse Implement powerful strategies for a successful recovery Make a life-long commitment to healing Get rid of judgmental or negative people and enablers Save and improve the quality of their lives Connect with people and organizations who can help and support them and show up for meetings Stay busy by setting goals Willie’s common-sense “one day at a time” approach to sobriety gives your audience powerful strategies to make rehab successful once and for all. “Because you’re constantly being tempted, you must surround yourself with positive-thinking, supportive people,” he counsels—and he shows how to do this. “Those who enabled you in the past no longer have a place in your life,” he adds. Reverend Holloway speaks from personal experience. As a young man, he was involved in a head-on collision with a drunk driver, and though by the grace of God, he and his passenger were unharmed, the traumatic event plunged him deeply into drugs and gambling. Soon after, he and his wife lost their home, but a prophetic dream—a clear sign from God—warned him he was headed down a dangerous path and he turned his life around just in time. It took that dream of 11 years ago to turn him away from the drugs, and today, his passionate presentations and book, The Life of Willie Holloway , show audiences that no matter what your addiction, with hard work and faith, you can deliver yourself from that which threatens to destroy you. Whether the addiction is drugs, alcohol, food, sex, gambling, or work, Reverend Holloway’s audiences leave his inspiring presentations able to admit they have a problem, face it head-on, break the cycle of endless rehab, and build a new, drug-free life.   Community organizations Colleges, universities, youth groups, high schools Churches, synagogues, religious, Christian groups Rehab centers, recovery support groups Presentation Presented as keynote, breakout, seminar or workshop, retreat or training.

Go to top Are you aware of the powerful link between knowing your true identity and achieving maximum success? “Identity is your greatest asset,” says bestselling author, entrepreneur and educator Stedman Graham, “yet too often, we define ourselves by titles and categories—race, gender, job, religion, relationship, house, family or car. But these aren’t who you really are. They’re social constructs so that others can control how you think.” In his life-changing keynotes and seminars, Graham shares his unique Nine-Step Process™ that frees you from the socially constructed box that labels and limits your existence—and even your destiny. “Vision, identity and leadership go hand in hand,” says Graham. “If you can’t see beyond your box, you’ll be stuck in poverty for the rest of your life. To become a leader, you must transform your thinking from follower to leader, consumer to producer, slave to owner—especially in the 21st century.” As chairman and CEO of S. Graham & Associates, a Chicago-based management and marketing consulting firm that specializes in corporate and educational markets, Graham delivers his identity message throughout the country and globally to corporations, professional associations, government and civic organizations, colleges and universities, and community groups. He’s coached everyone from world leaders to small business owners to gain a better understanding of who they are, build a well-developed personal identity, and become more focused as they work toward their goals. “A strong identity gives you the freedom to realize your full potential,” says Graham, “and allows you to gain the personal wisdom it takes to achieve success.” A popular media guest, Graham speaks from experience, revealing personal stories and those of others who’ve used his unique Nine-Step Process™ to build a life that matters to themselves and those around them. In his powerful presentations, he shares the obstacles he faced growing up and the strategies he used to get past his own self-doubt to become a successful business and community leader. “Living the life you were meant to live can be achieved with the NIne-Step Process,” says Graham, adding, “It starts with step one—and that’s understanding who you are.” Stedman Graham has made it his mission to bring Identity Development programs to people and organizations worldwide, helping them strengthen who they are based on their interests, natural abilities, talents and passions. Through seminars, lectures, and workshops, he provides tools for all people to determine their own identity and open the door to a life of success.

Identity Development Part of what makes us human is our ability to be aware of our own existence, to both live and reflect on our own lives. It’s this capacity for self-awareness that allows us to see our authentic selves and build our own identity, rather than letting others dictate who we are and what we do with our lives. Inevitably, however, the stresses and routine of daily life can get in the way of this self-reflection. We become too caught up in the task of getting through the day—in surviving—to take time to cultivate that awareness. But with the development of a strong sense of who we are and what we want to do in life, we naturally begin to take charge of our lives and become successful, no matter what challenges life presents. Stedman Graham has made it his mission to bring Identity Development programs to people and organizations worldwide, helping them strengthen who they are based on their interests, natural abilities, talents and passions. Through seminars, lectures, and workshops, Graham provides the tools for all people to determine their own identity and to open the door to a life of success. Identity Development focuses on the need for self-awareness and the skills of self-management with Stedman Graham’s 9-Step Success Process™ as a basis. Seminar topics include: Choosing a vision Goal setting Step-by-step planning Mastering adversity Exploring risk Managing challenges Forming personal networks Commitment to a personal mission Mr. Graham has taught Identity Development around the world and coached everyone from world leaders to small business owners. This presentation gives his audience a better understanding of who they are and shows how to build a well-developed personal identity and become more focused as they work toward their goals.
