Mojo Rising: How Total Confidence Leads To Success
If you are looking to lift your group out of the recession doldrums, this keynote is perfect for your meeting. According to best selling author Tim Sanders, success will flow to people that possess Mojo: a sweeping sense of total confidence that expectations will be exceeded, and that there is enough to go around. If you have this outlook, you’ll be collaborative, innovative and emerge as a leader.

Because of the recent economic meltdown, most people lack Mojo and are more likely to be filled with thoughts of scarcity. Left unchecked, it could hold back people and entire organizations long after the economy recovers. This keynote will outline a diet and exercise plan to increase your group’s Mojo.

Sanders will show the audience how to modify their information diet, reconsider the influences around them and sharpen their skills with education. Finally, he’ll demonstrate how gratitude and generosity exercises lead to personal, corporate and community confidence. Sanders was at ground zero during the dotcom crash, as Yahoo!’s Chief Solutions Officer. He saw some companies and individuals rise up from the ashes and others wither and fail. The difference, he learned, lies in perspective and practice. This customized keynote, taking your organization’s unique situation into account, will give actionable advice on how to return to greatness again – despite the signs of the times.

Saving the World at Work
Premise of the book: There is a revolution going on in the business world where companies will compete based on social innovations. Consumers, talent and investors are gravitating to companies that achieve high levels of social responsibility towards people, communities and the environment. The key for companies to thrive during this new era of business is to innovate how it does business and achieve high levels of employee participation. Companies leading the revolution include: Google, SAS Institute, Aveda, Patagonia, Interface, General Electric and Wal-Mart.

Tim’s keynote has an empowering message: A single employee can change the culture of an entire organization. A single employee can band together with like minded coworkers and create a powerful group for good. Sample stories that can be included in the keynote: A regional sales manager at Interface Floor that saved landfills from over one hundred million tons of discarded carpet. A corporate attorney that convinced Microsoft product managers to dramatically reduce packaging size and waste. A small group of bank tellers that convinced their senior management to get involved in breast cancer fundraising as a branding strategy.

Harnessing the Power of Great Relationships
Based on his best selling book, Love is the Killer App: How to Win Business and Influence Friends, this presentation outlines a neo-Carnegie approach to better business. His theme is that happy employees and satisfied customers drive business. He provides advice on how to build relationships with Knowledge, Networking and Compassion.

Case studies, statistics and specific examples provide great proof that a positive work environment and positive customer dialogue always produces better profits as well as customer/employee satisfaction. Tim argues that some companies operate on a vicious cycle while others build a virtuous circle based on caring and trust.

Throughout the talk, Tim draws on a theme that defines great relationships, solid business culture and innovation: Abundance vs. Scarcity. In this talk, Tim outlines the threat of scarcity thinking to any great organization. He also outlines ways to spot it and rid your culture of it.

Recession Friendly Green Strategy
