Dear Learning-focused Leader:

Regret that your choice for a speaker didn't deliver content relevant to your employees' needs?

Feel let down after being told by colleagues that the speaker for your professional association didn’t deliver on their topic in a way to further inspire and educate those in attendance?

Disappointed when students give you feedback that the guest lecturer’s presentation wasn’t worth their time?

Squirm in your seat when you hear a motivational speaker who doesn’t resonant with the needs of the attendees?

Is finding an on-point, intelligent speaker with a good sense of humor and ability to connect with any audience your ONE challenge?

That's an easy one to resolve. Invite me to be your next speaker!

That's a pretty bold statement, isn't it?

I can be bold because I consider myself not a speaker as much as an educator in the true sense of the meaning. The root word educare means to bring out the innate abilities of the individual. Helping others identify and grow their talents to reach their full potential is part of the agenda of every workshop, seminar, and lecture I deliver on workplace intelligence, the changing cultures of organizations, and professional development.

The picture above was taken during the United Nations 50th Commission on the Status of Women when Chonchanok Viravan, President of the International Federation of Business & Professional Women (right taking notes) and I presented on, "The ROI When Women are Top Executives."

After you read samples of topics on which I present for Colleges and Universities plus Professional Associations, scan the Audience Comments then send me an email Leigh@LTR-NYC.com so we can discuss what I'll be presenting for your next meeting.

Lead with your best,
Leigh

Thank you again for your excellent presentation. When the teachers asked their classes whether they had enjoyed your talk and gotten a lot out of it, the feedback was very positive.
