With 24 years in the energy industry, John had responsibility for sales and service centers in multiple states. And he has now surpassed 20 years as a certified trainer with Dale Carnegie.

John will be leading TWO exciting workshops for us in Cancun, including “The Art of Storytelling”. Here’s an excerpt from the program you will enjoy…

“Successful leaders and public speakers throughout history have understood and harnessed the power of good storytelling. No matter your topic or your audience, telling a story engages your listeners and elevates your public speaking to an art.

Dale Carnegie believed that public speaking and storytelling are skilled to be learned, not inborn abilities. Impactful storytelling requires an understanding of your audience, your topic and your goal.

In this workshop, you will learn the very same skills that Dale Carnegie himself used to create generations of successful business people, compelling community leaders, and even politicians.”

Storytelling is a skill that I KNOW will help you grow your business, and we’re excited to share this content with all of you.

“Leading on Two Fronts” explores the profound dualities within us all – the Servant and the Savage – and unveils how mastering this balance can revolutionize our approach to leadership and organizational success.

As you know, our theme this year is Servants & Savages. So let me give you a glimpse of why Rick’s story will resonate with our group…

Most people’s vision of a Church Pastor comes from Sunday worship. The pulpit, the message, the friendly welcome and salutation.

But what most don’t see, are the leadership demands beyond the sanctuary. People and Processes. Finances and Committees. Insurance and Instruction. Decisions…and Divinity.

Running (and growing) an organization is challenging. Imagine all of the things that we as small business entrepreneurs face on a daily basis, but with the ‘ultimate’ boss.

Rick understands the need to effectively lead and manage an organization, while fostering culture with a servants heart.

Rick Stauffer is the definition of a Servant, and also a Savage.

Oh… and did I mention that Rick served two terms as an elected township Trustee? Yep. Reverend Rick Stauffer has also been an elected politician.

And I can’t wait for him to tell you some of the challenges he’s faced, and how his unique perspective can help you to face each day as both Servant… and Savage!

Not just in your business, but in your LIFE.

But there’s more!

 

This year we’re going to celebrate YOU… the small business entrepreneur. The people who have chosen to take the risk that it requires to create the abundance and impact that is in your hearts.

On Friday January 17th, after our final meeting session… we have planned an Awards Ceremony and Dealer Celebration!

And we are inviting YOU & YOUR FAMILY to join us.

This special event will be from 6-9pm, right on the beach! Dress requirements will be announced.
