Passion!
8 Steps to Reignite Yours

Keynote Description:
As working professionals, we could all use a little jolt from time to time.  This session may be the only time all year when you take a moment to reflect on the things you need to do to reignite the passion that brought you into the workforce in the first place.  World-touring entertainer and actor Mark J. Lindquist offers a keynote that is as entertaining as it is enlightening as he sends you out the door on fire.
Learning Objectives: 
  • Participants will gain an awareness of the mental roadblocks that stand in the way of progress; this progress can be in our personal lives, the workplace, or in the pursuit of our passions.
  • Audience members will gain an understanding of the importance of a workplace culture that is dedicated to the development of an individual’s strengths.  The quickest way to reignite a person’s passion for what they do is to develop a culture that honors the strengths of the individual and allows them to make major contributions to the organization within their strength zone.
  • Members of your team will leave with an expanded vision for their future within your organization.  Many of us feel “stuck” from time to time as we progress through our working lives.  Whether it is your first week on the job or you are a CEO of the organization, individuals will leave this session with a new vision for the future that will propel them out of the rut and into an exciting journey toward a passion-filled life in all areas, at work and at home.

Presentation Skills Masterclass
For Executives and Leaders

Mark J. Lindquist has performed live for over 3.5 million people in 22 countries and 46 states throughout his career. He has taught public speaking and audience engagement techniques to over 1,500 professional speakers (including Hall of Fame Speakers) as well as Senior Vice Presidents from Fortune 500 companies (Walmart, Starbucks, IBM, Philips, Lenovo, McDonalds). He built the fastest growing motivational speaking firm in America and performs for a half-a-million people in live audiences annually.
​
In these deep dive sessions your people will learn how to engage an audience whether it is in a corporate boardroom with a dozen people, a shareholder meeting in front of an audience of thousands, or a sales presentation one-on-one. Mark will teach your people how to engage your audience with tested strategies even the most amateur presenter can implement.
Learning Objectives:
-ROI On Your Time - The scenario is this: 500 people offsite at an annual meeting and the average salary of the audience members is $60,000. If the hour you spend on stage does not bring $14,423 of value, your company just lost money. In our speaker training we focus on a Return On Investment of time.
-99.9% Engagement Strategies - In a distracted society it is becoming increasingly difficult to capture people’s attention and keep it. The public speaking training you receive is based on field testing in front of hundreds of thousands of audience members nationwide. The techniques we teach to captivate audiences are the same techniques that consistently result in 99.9% of audiences listening, remaining engaged and they leave the presentation with tangible takeaways.
-Written Word vs Spoken Word - If your company was to produce a public facing document even a single page in length, the smartest people in your organization would sit in a conference room and examine every word, they would scrutinize every sentence, the lawyers would review it and it would take weeks or months for it to be ready for public consumption. That’s the written word. However, when it comes to the spoken word, most business professionals are content to write their remarks the night before on a cocktail napkin and we seem to be ok “just winging it.” We believe that public speaking is the only portion of our professional careers where we accept such low proficiency. Our training is built to change that acceptable threshold of professional development.
-What Drives Effective Communication - During this training your people will come to understand the science behind effective communication and audience engagement. We will study what compels an audience member to want to listen and give you the techniques you can use during your speeches to ensure the audience hears, retains and enjoys your presentation.​
The Victor, by C.W. Longnecker

If you think you're beaten, you are.
If you think you dare not, you don't.
If you like to win but think you can't, it's almost a cinch you won't.
If you think you'll lose, you've lost.
For out in the world we find...
Success begins with a fellow's will, it's all in the state of mind.
If you think you're out classed, you are.
You've got to think high to rise.
You've got to think well of yourself, before you can win the prize.
Life's battles don't always go to the stronger or faster man.
But sooner or later, the one who wins is the one who thinks she can.
