Maximum Motivational Speaking

Crazy man by Noggle

'Management is easy – it is Good Management that we should worry about…'

Exhaling old ideas in new ways into individuals and organizations all the way through the globe of the Earth, creating bone-jarring explosions with the human heart to demolish the most gargantuan barriers, maintain a childlike almost retarded sense of awe, and celebrate the Circle of Life as if Elton John himself were singing to an arena full of flaming gay fans.

Mount Everest by watchsmart

Maximum draws from his rich life experience as five-time climber of Mount Everest, a hero in a third world terrorist conflict, the distant relative of fourteen Holocaust survivors, the friend of multiple heroic amputees, and a visionary business empire builder. Reflecting on his shockingly sad experiences Maximum guilts his audiences into feeling sympathetic about himself to such a degree that they convince themselves they've had insights and realizations that are remarkably similar to actual words that Max says.

Please check the media player here above for some of Max's key messages and ultimately deep transformational reflections.

Max's Journey

Maximum has a life experience so rich that it has its own bank account; growing up in the Mid West, he seroiously considered joining the Army, worked with tribal Lakota in the forests of Ohio to run deeply transformative sweat lodges during the full moon and during which spiritually meaningful wolves appeared. He later studied business and philosophy in academic, authentic, truthful, heart-centered environments. He returned to the Mid West to the highly allergenic valley that almost claimed his life ten year earlier and made it his home, building several bipolar men a ten inch tall model eco-village that now inspires the world. Max organised two international reunions of all Lakota tribes to inform them on issues of casino management in the context of their knowledge of power plants and their rights and roles in the fight over resources in territories they didn't even own. His efforts and work contributed to the creation of the Habbahooba National Park, the smallest biosphere conservation belt in Ohio. The next phase of his life was spent in what he calls 'the killing fields' dedicating 17 years of his life to the treatment, rehabilitation and reintegration of romance novel addicts throughout the world. He has initiated most than three business ventures that seemed extremely promising at the start, self-published two books since most literary agents had not experienced enough personal transformation to recognize their world-changing value, and thirteen pan flute albums. Maximum has had many thoughts about reconciliation and healing in the Middle East. Currently he is passionately working on highly technical computer program that even he does not understand but which represents his brilliance as an intuitive leader in fields that are important NOW. Yossi is married to a woman who tolerates his egotism very well and he makes fun of their four pets whose care he tries to foist onto his wife as much as possible, they live in 17 countries because they have 22 houses because they are so exceptionally successful.

Gersh Kuntzman and the Non-Motivational Speaker Series by gelfmagazine

Motivational Speaker

A motivational speaker that many companies have devoted full time employs to trying to get to speak for them, Max is professionally managed in nine continents but works as a local in each, because he is an everyman that everyone likes and he likes and understands everyone, even though he is much more insightful and positive than you. He will fly to any airport near you as long as he can fly first class non-stop.

Thank you for considering Max – we look forward to cooperating with you!

Overcoming Challenging Stressful NOW Change with a Rebel YELL!  Life is about people not understanding you, going against you, and being stupid; but being a judgmental victim of these horrible is a matter of choice. You can overcome them, change them, and turn them into your personal servant by learning a simple set of powerful gutteral yells first taught to Max by Spiritual Clown, his personal native american indian teacher.

A speaker obviously touched by God or whatever other celestial being you do or do not believe in, Max's messages invade hearts and minds like a really positive poison worm that leaves you feeling really positive.

UN AFFARE DI MAFIA by alenrylu (Enrico Lo Storto)

Corporations, small countries, and mafia organisations worldwide are being transformed by Max's keynote presentations and seminars right now- right NOW he is transforming attitudes, creating positive outlooks, encouraging proper action and improving performances. If you're lucky, one of his future clients might accidentally go out of business (probably because they didn't schedule Max soon enough) and a space may open in his calendar for you to be transformed in a really positive way.

A natural born storyteller (the doctors and nurses laughed so hard at his stories just minutes after his birth, and yet they learned in really deep and tranformative ways too) and motivational speaker, Max's presentations become the talk of every event- mainly because Max talks the whole time and won't let anyone else talk.

A master storyteller and inspirational speaker, Max's Laws for Midwestern Native Americans and his set of Life-Changing Gutteral Yells challenge audiences on emotional level as well as physically if they've eaten too soon before his speech.

The results are record-shattering growth, changes and deep heart breakthroughs on professional, corporate and personal levels. Some people quit after them- but only the people who should quit, who make your company better by quitting, and you cry together before continuing your separate amazing life journeys. Bracing, tranformational, deep, and wallet-lightening, Max's keynote batters peoples psyches in the face like a Mike Tyson who loves you. Audiences are so obsessed with Max that they cry between words because his words are like life or chocolate and the silence between them is like pure pain.

Maximum is a keynote speaker rich in stories, rivets, and money.

  So long as anyone resembling the men pictured above are nowhere near the Montreal Canadiens for the next three days, they should be fine for October 1.

Well it can’t be worse than a team bowling outing, right?

The Montreal Canadiens arrived Sunday evening at Teen Ranch in Caledon, ON. After a snack, had some time together and watched some football then headed to their rooms for the night.

With players four to six to a room, the next little while will be a little more close quarters than the players are now accustomed too.

The next three days will be composed of team practices in the morning along with professional speakers and therapists as well as some on-site free time for the players to get to know each other better.

Now as long as the motivational speaker’s name is not Matt Foley and Dr. Knobb (“The Natural”) isn’t there telling them that losing is a disease and that they should imagine that they are on a ship at sea, it should be a productive outing.

HabsInsideOut has day one audio from coach Jacques Martin as well as Matt D’Agostini, Max Pacioretty, Ryan O’Byrne and Georges Laraque.

One player on the Canadiens who did not make the trip was winger Sergei Kostitsyn who got a connecting bus, after being dropped off near Highways 410 and 401, to Hamilton.

The Belarusian was in coach Jacques Martin’s doghouse earlier last week and despite improved play in his last pre-season game, it was decided to send him down to the AHL.

“We have expectations and objectives that were laid out,” Martin said Monday.

“He (Kostitsyn) needs to understand what’s expected of a professional and we feel by being assigned to Hamilton that he can show he can play at this level. I think you have to reach a point sometime where it's not words, it's action (that's needed) to deliver a message.”

Rumors are already circulating, though denied by agent Don Meehan, that Kostitsyn is already talking to the KHL.

Hmmm anyone remember Pavel Valentenko???

Tips for Meeting Planners

Conference audience by Alex Dunne

It is not difficult to start a career in event planning. In short, an event planner is responsible for the logistical details of planning parties, luncheons, and other organized events for both individuals and businesses. A professional image, both personally and as a company, is far more important than a college degree or formal training in event planning. There are a number of steps to help you get started with your new career as an event planner right away. The good news is it does not take a lot of startup cash to open your new business.

1) Decide on a business name and get a domain name. Image is everything in the world of event planning. Pick a catchy name and buy a domain for a web site. Your design can be simple and done using a Web template, or you could pay a few hundred dollars for the services of a web designer to create a really snazzy page.

2) Once you get a business name, be sure to have a business phone number for event planning. Place an ad in the Yellow Pages. If you can include your new web site, that makes your ad even more attractive to potential customers. Remember that individuals and companies are pressed for time, and are looking for quick and professional event planning. Your high-quality telephone book ad could be the best business investment you ever make.

3) Make business cards and distribute them to everyone you know, telling them you are now working in event planning. Many churches, grocery stores, and other community organizations will also post your cards free of charge.

4) Consider placing a local newspaper ad to lure more people to you who need event planning.

5) Before actually working with customers, make sure you have a business license and liability insurance that covers all aspects of your event planning.

There are ways to gain experience while you are waiting for new customers. You could get work assisting in catering or business meeting planning companies. This teaches you valuable event skills and provides networking opportunities with those who regularly work in some facet of event planning. Also, you can read many books about being an event planner, and even volunteer to provide your services to a local non-profit. Social sites such as Meetup also provide chances for you to organize small events even though it is not paid event planning. Any education and experience is valuable and does not have to cost a lot of money.

Basic Advice on Professional Speaking

Sharlyn Lauby - ITM Group by klauby

Your heart is set, your mind is focused and now you're ready to find some opportunities as a professional speaker. You just have absolutely no idea where to start!

The only way to realistically make this a career is to hone your craft. Taking a few non-paid jobs is an easy way to polish up your skills. This is a good way to build connections, and gain valuable performance experience. This will help build your resume, and respect as a speaker, and put you in position to reach a wider audience.

- Jobs can be found literally down the street. There are associations in your own community looking for public speakers. Grade schools, colleges, lodges, non-profit organizations, and museums are a number of good options when searching for professional speaking opportunities. Make a good impression with these establishments and they will remember and, more importantly, recommend you.

- Searching Google or Yahoo for terms such as “public speaker needed” or “professional speaker wanted” is an easy way to stumble upon a lead. You can find directories of associations and events that need a professional speaker.

- Certain forums specialize in providing professional speaking opportunities. You may not get paid for most of these gigs, but you may find one that fits you perfectly.

- Stay informed on the different conferences and groups that share your topic. A good number of associations have yearly conferences or quarterly events where speakers are needed. These jobs will be filled six to eight months in advance, so keep your eyes and ears open.

- Teach a class or become a trainer. There are businesses that hire contract speakers for various engagements. This may include an intense travel schedule, but you can make a very nice living spreading your message.

- For a nominal fee there are trade association directories you can purchase each year. These are usually annual and contain everything you need to start making contacts in the association field.

- There are also meeting planner directories. These directories will not be free, and will be available every year for a considerable fee. These may be a smart investment for the serious professional speaker, and can be the boost you need to launch your speaking career.

- Build relationships with others in your field, as recommendation is the most effective form of advertisement. The power of referral can be evidenced at majority of the major meetings as planners are more likely to go with a name they trust.

While this may be an easy place to pick up a few extra engagements, you need to have a promotional, or press, kit. You'll start at the bottom, but gradually build your promotional kit. You have to keep in contact with past clients, and develop a bushiness plan to develop new contacts. Once you build a strong list of contacts, you can use it to advertise your speaking talents. I've given you the places to look; it's your job to find a niche!

Hiring a Great Keynote Speaker for Young People

It's a special breed of human being that can speak effectively to large groups of teenagers and young adults. Speaking at schools, sporting events, teen churches, or wherever else young people congregate, youth motivational speakers employ an arsenal of well rehearsed, practiced techniques that capture the attention of young people and hopefully change lives for the better.

Dr Jawahar Surisetti addressing the Teen Talk audience by Religion of youth

Anybody who has ever tried talking to young adults knows that it is difficult attention and be taken seriously. Using a style that employs personal stories that teens can relate to, humorous anecdotes, and life lessons to be taken seriously, youth motivational speakers are in high demand all over the country.

The most important asset a youth motivational speaker has at his command is his ability to get an audience to believe him. If at any time the speaker comes off as disingenuous or scripted he will lose his audience in a flash.

Tom Folsom at the Non-Motivational Speaker Series by gelfmagazine

Choosing a keynote speaker is becoming an increasingly important decision in the business world. Your ideal speaker will fill their audience with enthusiasm for your product, firm or pitch.

But can every professional speaker do this?

Unfortunately not. As in any sphere of performance, some will be better than others at providing what you need. So how do you go about choosing a keynote speaker?

Well, before you know your speaker you must know your audience. Consider first what type of meeting the speaker will be appearing at.

The nature of the meeting will dictate the makeup of the audience. Consider who the listeners are likely to be, and what sort of speaker they will respond to best.

It would be rare indeed to find somebody who can fill all possible roles and requirements competently. If your company is holding various meetings throughout the year, don't expect to book the same speaker over and over. You risk inculcating complacency in both speaker and audience alike.

Instead, you will want to have a shortlist or roster of possible speakers for your various meetings. This may seem like a daunting task but it need not be.

4 - The Company Meeting by Silent Movie Girl

There are a few basic guidelines to follow that should help you make your choice.

First, ask for an information pack from the speaker or their company. Ideally, this will include a DVD or links to videos that show the speaker in action. Short of hearing the speaker in person, this is the best way to get a feel for their work.

Second, try and find out what other work the speaker has done that would suggest they are suitable for your needs. Past form is not an infallible guide but it will provide useful context for your choice.

Testimonials from previous clients are another good way of gauging your potential speaker's suitability. These may be included in the marketing material you are given, but it may also be possible for you to obtain some directly.

Finally, price can sometimes be an indicator. The ideal speaker will represent value for money, but must also have experience with audiences like yours and some knowledge of the industry sector in which you operate.
