How do you obtain and sustain your full potential while remaining resilient and balanced in your life?

Note: All of these keynotes are available as full seminars/workshops also. In fact, most of the courses listed below can also be tailored into a keynote format.
Communication Enhancement
The Power of Understanding of People- Hollywood Style provides a better understanding of diverse communication styles. Based on Jungian psychology, it’s the perfect combination of pertinent human dynamics; laugh out loud humor and audience interaction. One of our most popular seminars and the subject of a best selling, award winning book!
The Power of Understanding Yourself, based on the companion book to The Power of Understanding People facilitates a deep dive inward, allowing participants to examine their own core ideology, interactive style and evaluate if they are aligned in their pursuit of their best “Me.”
A Call to Action- Persuasive Presentation Skills provides participants a chance to conquer their fear of public speaking and will transform your team into self-assured, persuasive presenters. This multi-day program includes classroom instruction, practice, evaluation, video-taping and follow-up written reviews. This high impact seminar is also a must for trainers, executives and marketing professionals.
Customer Service
The Heart and Art of Service Excellence will make your clients come racing back for more of what you have to offer. Through a series of dynamic, humorous real-life stories Dave will help your team discover how to identify each customer’s “service hot button” and ensure that you exceed their expectations. From building rapport and customer journey mapping to executing service recovery and building brand loyalty, this seminar covers the entire customer service dynamic.
Selling Skills
Selling Luxury Items – There is a big difference between being a sales person and a sales consultant and today’s discerning consumer demands the latter. Learn the unique perspective of luxury consumers and how to take your selling skills to the next level to meet the expectations of this growing and influential demographic.
Consultative Selling: The Customer-Centric Sale – participants will learn how to better understand the needs of diverse types of consumers leading to higher closing rates. This course examines the behavioral cues of consumers, how to adjust your rapport building skills to better appeal to the consumer and how to frame your products and services so that they resonate with the customer. Finally, we examine how to effectively handle objections from the consumer. Increase your sales by expanding your market share and increasing your close rate!
Leadership
Leading Peak Performance will guide your team to a new level of sustained and consistent high performance. Dave will lead the participants through an interactive session of team building, conquering with constant change and shifting from extrinsic to intrinsic needs fulfillment.
Certified Leader Program is your one stop leadership development program! You can choose the curriculum from a menu of over a dozen seminars ranging from Interviewing Skills and Creating a Motivating Environment through Coaching and Counseling Skills and the Fundamentals of Employment Law. Instant succession planning! Plus, we offer our own online learning management system allowing participants to review classroom course content and take evaluations to measure learning. It is an incredibly effective blended learning experience.
Conflict Resolution
Dialectic Thinking: It’s the Issue, Not the Person focuses exclusively on resolving conflict. Dave uses the “Rules of Engagement” to help attendees adopt a more effective mental approach to conflict, reducing concerns to issues rather than to people. Further, this class focuses on a step- by- step model for approaching, discussing and ultimately resolving issues that divide individuals.
Peak Performance Management
Peak Performance Culture: The Five Metrics of Operational Excellence – from Dave’s fourth book scheduled for release in September 2020, participants learn the critical components to establishing and maintaining peak performance in any organization.
Becoming Resilient! focuses on the personal characteristics of high performers and how we can develop these attributes within ourselves. Is it possible to excel in all aspects of your life without burning out? This course examines each attendee’s strengths and potential vulnerabilities as they strive to maximize their potential. Life changing!
Live and Learn or Die Stupid – The Workshop – this expansion on the popular keynote and book includes a series of worksheets, exercises and activities that will provide participants with a plan for meaningful life change. Do you want to be happier, more productive, more motivated, more satisfied…whatever personal improvement goals you may have, this workshop provides the means for achieving them!
Wine Seminars
What is Your Wine Personality? – provides the opportunity to educate new salespeople on the fine art of business entertaining. This program ties valuable wine knowledge to communication styles and can be used as a team building event, teach rapport building techniques or to treat your VIP clients to an evening of fun.
Are You America’s Next Top Winemaker? – this team building activity allows participants to learn about wine making and each other while they develop their very own wine. Watch team members bond during the naming of their wine, creating their blend, developing a marketing plan and submitting their creation to a panel of judges. Hugely entertaining!
