Monday Morning Won't Be Business As Usual

A good keynote speaker has the ability to get audiences fired up and ready to take on the world. A great keynote speaker gives audiences the tools to do just that, leaving a lasting impression with a roadmap.

We’ve all been to conferences and annual meetings where a keynote speech got us thinking about new ideas and concepts to refresh our business. Sometimes we’ve left the room ready to run through a brick wall, propelled by the orator’s verbal gifts. But later that day, after the networking sessions and the piles of content and PDF downloads and hashtags and real time polling the glow has faded, and we try to remember...what was it the keynote speaker had said that resonated so well? The feelings of empowerment and enlightenment may linger, but the vision and actionable ideas go POOF. We head back to the office Monday morning, head down, ready to catch up on email, business as usual.

Not exactly the strongest ROI. The whole point of the sales kick-off, or annual meeting, or national conference was to drive specific business outcomes, wasn’t it? And you budgeted a pretty penny for a bring-down-the-house keynote speaker, didn’t you? Sure, your teams gave high marks to the event when surveyed, but where’s the improvement in mindset, process and execution?

Ah, but you hired John Foley Inc. to deliver the keynote, and now everyone around you is saying “glad to be here”, and getting together to debrief on projects, and seeking ways to create a safe environment where trust can flourish and teams can rally around a collective CenterPoint to advance the business. In the span of a 60-90 minute John Foley Inc. keynote, your people learned the importance of checking their egos at the door, laying it on the table and seeking a purpose greater than self. They learned the power of the “glad to be here” mindset, that gratitude unites teams and builds trust. They learned to challenge their belief levels about their performance, to let go of limiting beliefs and embrace liberating ones. Your teams understand that the potential of high performance lives within each and every one of them, and that using the “Glad To Be Here Debrief” process is the key to unlock it.

Perhaps you’ll take it a step further and trust the John Foley Inc. team with a customized leadership development workshop, building upon the lessons within the keynote. Our programs work, addressing cultural challenges, driving performance excellence and business outcomes. Whatever your business challenges, pain points and objectives, John Foley Inc. has a solution for your people, and a methodology that will create maximum ROI.
