I am pleased to announce that I have just entered into an exclusive speaker representation agreement with Premiere Speakers Bureau in Nashville, Tennessee. They are one of the top bureaus in the country, representing speakers such as Andy Andrews, Patrick Lencioni, Elizabeth Smart, Neal Cavuto, and Gov. Mike Huckabee.
I have been friends with Duane Ward, the founder and CEO of Premiere for more than two decades. Working with him and his outstanding team has been a dream of mine for years. I am thrilled it is now a reality.
I am limiting myself to fifty engagements a year. I speak on a variety of topics related to platform-building, leadership, and productivity. You can find out more by visiting my Speaking page.

This short video pretty much sums up what not to do when you make a presentation. Unfortunately, about 90 percent of the presentations I have witnessed in corporate America make these exact mistakes.
The lead story in the news a little more than a year ago was Arnold Schwarzenegger’s infidelity. Apparently, he has fathered at least one child out-of-wedlock. There are likely more.
To be honest, this whole thing made me angry, especially when I consider the impact this had on his wife and children. He is also one more negative example for our own children and grandchildren.
