• In the Company of Leaders! How to lead and create a culture of personal leadership and responsibility
  
  Successful leaders in all industries and organizations have come to realize their primary role is to recruit, prepare, and power up other leaders. Lead your organization to a more productive and profitable level. Engage these proven ideas and techniques to equip and motivate your 'leaders' to take personal leadership responsibility and succeed.

• The Power of One! Yes, YOU make a difference
  
  When you dare to follow your beliefs and take personal responsibility for your own life – you impact everyone around you. That kind of positive personal leadership has a ripple effect that changes the world. That’s how communities, companies, and entire countries are transformed. Entire industries have been created by one person who dared to take personal leadership. This is why the greatest men and women throughout time are remembered in history books. The fact is, you can, do and will make a difference. All that remains to be answered is, ‘What difference do you want to make?’ That’s the Power of ONE! That’s the Power of You! (The Power of One - Pocket Wisdom for Leaders will be released in August.)
  
  NOTE: Bob shared this 'Powerful' message to a sold out leadership luncheon at the Toastmasters International Convention on August 15th, 2008.
  
  
• Rising above the storm! How to take personal leadership when life flips you upside down or throws you into change
  
  Life happens in the midst of our plans! We need to stop, change pace, and refocus our energies on a regular basis. We need to effectively handle the changes and challenges that rise up, such a business reversal, a drought, unexpected storm or the after-effects of 9-11. Bob toured ground zero shortly after that disaster. Bob sailed through a 'baby' typhoon off the coast of Japan, and battled unforgiving seas for his life to attain a safe harbor in Kobe. This high impact session challenges you to change direction, as needed, and apply personal leadership to overcome the storms and challenges in your life, career, or organization.
  
  
• Building Bridges - Not Walls! Leadership, Sales, Career, and Business Success are each built on mutually productive relationships.
  
  The power of applied leadership, teamwork and vision, coupled with the inspiration of cheerleaders, coaches and champions, can create miracles. This inspiring keynote challenges your leadership and your teams to reach out and reach up in setting and surpassing their goals and dreams. Long term success is built on long term mutually beneficial relationships.

  
  
• Big Dreams - Small Steps! You can achieve and live your dream!
  
  Every successful team builds on the strength and dreams of its leaders. Every successful enterprise began as a dream, an idea if you will, in the mind of its founder. Building a successful career or organization/company is laid on the twin foundations of vision and strategic application. We must first dream big dreams which inspire us to action. We then follow those dreams with strategic action steps to see the dream become a reality. Leaders in a multitude of industries and professions have successfully used these skills to recruit, build and inspire winning teams.

"Thank you Bob, it is always a pleasure to see a true professional at work. You have made the name "Speaker" stand out as a truism - someone who encourages people to examine their lives and make adjustments. The personal stories you shared with your audience made such a great impression on everyone. The comments indicated you hit people right where it is important - in their hearts. Each of those in your audience took away a new feeling of personal success and encouragement."
Sherry Knight, Dimension Eleven Human Resources and Communications
