YOUR THOUGHTS AND RESPONSES
In the last newsletter, we posed an important question: What makes a great conference? We received some very insightful responses:
1. Entertainment
People want to be entertained. Going to a conference is akin to going to a comedy show or concert. They spend a lot of money and energy to go so they want to be entertained.
2. Call to Action
What do you want the masses to do after the event? A great conference means there is a great reason to act and react (and stay in touch).
3. Life Changing Event
How have you changed the lives of the people who have attended? This is the difference between mediocre and awe-inspiring.
4. Recursiveness
How can people revisit the content and “greatest hits” of the presentations? Are the handouts easily available online in a digital format? Have presentations been recorded and then edited into shorter, palatable bits? Did anyone boil the entire conference down into one review?
5. Connective Community
Was an online community set up so conversations could continue long after the event? Who is monitoring the conversations to keep them going?
6. Legacy
A small percentage of the information disseminated at a conference is retained and passed on. . . Ask yourself, “what will the legacy of our conference be 5 years from now?”
I would love to hear what you think and would greatly value your input. The list above is not fully inclusive and you probably have some great ideas you can share. As a motivational keynote speaker I have done this many times, and I pride myself on delivering relevant content that provides exceptional value to my audience. Just drop me a quick email at [email protected] with your answer to “What makes a great conference?”
New Podcast: Workplace Lab Podcast
In this podcast we discuss a variety of topics, including what being a “balanced leader” means and how intrapreneurship differs from its more famous cousin, entrepreneurship. We took an audience question about getting your foot in the door and whether working your way up is worth it. We also discussed legacy. Whether you are early in your career, or have a lot to give back- legacy is important!
Episode 27
Your Next Conference, Your Next Motivational Speaker, Your Next Topic
To achieve success, you will need to embrace the Balanced Leadership philosophy along with the goals and objectives through walking the talk and your daily actions. Your success will be measured by the degree to which everyone in your organization at every level begins to understand, embrace, emulate, and execute the vision and strategy.
New Keynote: US Naval Sea Cadet Corps
I really enjoyed speaking to a group from the US Naval Sea Cadet Corps. Providing leadership opportunities and practical experience is core to their program. The goal is to form well rounded leadership skills.

Coach’s Corner
In every newsletter I include a quote from UCLA Coach John Wooden, whom I had the great pleasure to interview while I was a leader at UPS. Coach often said, “The smallest good deed is better than the best intention.” Click below to view the full interview.
The Video Library is Here (And, You Don’t Need a Library Card)
Time is of the essence for all of us. We are overloaded with information – so much so that we simply cannot digest it all. For this reason, I am very excited to announce our new video library.
Here you can explore important concepts in mere minutes. Short on ideas for your next meeting? There are loads of ideas here. Need a quick video for your next gathering? Looking for a keynote speaker or advisor? You might find just what you are looking for here. New videos are added regularly, so be sure to check back soon.

Tighten the Lug Nuts: The Principles of Balanced Leadership
Leadership is something we all have concerns about. Leadership is not a concept that only applies to certain people in business, government, and civic organizations. The reality is that no matter our age, gender, occupation, educational level, or position in life, each of us touches and influences other lives. In this book, rated 5 stars on Amazon, I present a powerful overview of the concepts of Balanced Leadership and how each of us as leaders in our own way can make a difference and Leave Our Legacy.
