Every time you select a speaker, you put your reputation and credibility on the line. Research from Xerox and Gallup found 87% of sales training is forgotten within 30 days – 87%! The question is not, “Did they enjoy the keynote?” The question is, “Are they empowered to improve their performance and drive both top-line sales revenue and bottom-line profit?” That is my superpower! The majority of experts agree that self-awareness is the foundation of all personal development and improved performance. The most interesting person in the world to each of us…is ourselves. It’s human nature.

Before the event, participants complete a transformational assessment. During the keynote, something remarkable happens…their results come alive! People lean in. They engage. They devour the content. Why? They are not just hearing ideas — they are discovering themselves! When people see their own patterns, communication style, strengths, and blind spots reflected with clarity, the message moves from intellectual to personal. And when it becomes personal, it becomes permanent. Performance elevates to another level. If your keynote speaker is not using a powerful assessment as part of their program, your audience will forget 87% of what they hear within 30 days. And when they forget it, they cannot apply it. And when they cannot apply it, there is no improvement. And without improvement, there is no growth or ROI.
