"Lead, Learn, Laugh"

Do you want a keynote speaker or Emcee who will invite (or dare) audiences to?

The microphone is passed around as Nance engages the audience to participate.

• Lead? "Why not try something different?"
• Learn? "I'd never thought of it that way before."
• Laugh? "It's a great way to get (and remember) the message."

Does your audience want a speaker who can get to the point and make a difference?

Audiences have understandably short attention spans - they want their time sitting in that chair to count for something that matters to them, to their company, or to their family. That's why Nance uses her radio and television experience to entertain and to challenge people to go beyond what they know.

Nance offers interactive experiences that get audiences:

• Talking to each other in ways that bring a conference alive
• Learning in on-the-spot role plays and demonstrations
• Motivated to apply what they've heard when they walk out the door.

AUDIENCE COMMENTS:

"The lasting impression Nance 
made on our group was 
reinstated by the fact that she was asked back - twice!"  MORE

"Your session, How to Be Heard in a Just Do It World, was a valuable contribution and a great way to end our conferences.  We appreciate all the time you spent and research you did to understand the audience and the types of issues they face in their daily work.  Your due diligence paid off handsomely for the audience!  We look forward to working with you again in the future."

"I found the role-playing exercise very educational. Nance Guilmartin has a wonderful presence and is a great educator!"

"Refreshingly novel presentation."

"Excellent insight into listening!"

Listening:
Be Heard: Stop the Communication Ping-Pong Game!
Is what you heard what they said and is what they said what they (really) meant? Learn an approach that enables you to make the most of the time you have with someone even if it feels to you or to them that it's not enough time. Explore the nearly lost art of listening. 

RESULT: Participants leave with skills they can use immediately - whether with the CEO, an employee, a patient, a colleague, a relative, or a customer.

"From the audience of fifty nursing scholars to the double-ballroom that housed all the employees (400) in Baptist Outpatient Services, your message and delivery, both captivated and educated." 

"Our office received numerous calls following the program from our guests and from those who heard about the event after the fact. Your presentation sent a sign that Gibraltar cares about more than just handling our clients' wealth, we care about their well-being."  

Healing Conversations:
It's Never Too Late
Learning how to ask for or offer the comfort that's needed.especially when words fail. 

RESULT:  Audience gets to practice skills applied to their real world situations - especially for conversations that we most often avoid or where we're at a loss for words - with friends, family, and colleagues.

Relationship Management:
How Not to Strip the Gears
How do you get relationships - with customers, staff, colleagues, or family - into 5th gear without stripping the gears? How can you compete successfully in a world where none of us has enough time? Race car analogies get audiences out of their seats. 

RESULT: Audience learns how to drive relationship building conversations.

Breakthrough Thinking in Action:
Taking the First Step
How to launch a breakthrough in your company, career, or your life while you are at this conference and when you return to work or home. Draws upon lessons learned in launching breakthrough ideas such as America's Designated Driver program. 

RESULT: Participants get a practical and motivational experience that maximizes the results from the event.

Each of these themes can be expanded
into a workshop or retreat
