POSITIVE AND PERSONALIZED PRESENTATIONS

It's been quite a run having been in several cities the past two weeks speaking to groups large and small. However, speaking at the Disneyland Resort was a highlight. There were cameras, s super sound system, four screens, a green room, and I was assigned a "handler". Very cool. 

What happened to Southwest Airlines? After being stranded in Phoenix I was forced to drive six hours through the night to make my next speaking engagement. That's the second time in one month Southwest let me down. I wish I had my own plane like Jimmy Buffett.

​

Another successful custom speech is in the books. This time I created a presentation for credit union lenders using sailing as the basis for navigating turbulent times. So fun and very effective.

It took six years, but the "Faster, Easier, Better Show" reached 300 episodes. That's a lot of tips about efficiency, but my co-host (Ellen Goodwin) and I plan to keep going.

So far in 2023 I have traveled in all directions to give speeches but my favorite place of all was Celebration, Florida. It's a town built by Disney for their executives. Very cool. 

For the employees of my local school district we teamed up to create a customized presentation around superheroes. It was a blast and very well received. 

At the start of the football season my son and I sat down and set goals for himself. I turned them into a trading card. The card pictured include his actual stats. He exceeded almost all of his goals.

What a way to wrap up the year. As the conference keynote speaker it was great to be in the big room and be able to play the drums and bass as part of my presentation, "The Power of Music".

When you love what you do it's no big deal to fly across the country, wake up at the crack of dawn, and overcome technical difficulties to make a difference. .

Ethan Silber is the starting QB on his high school football team and before the season began father and son sat down to set goals for the season. They created a mockup of a football card with his goals on it. Ethan is exceeding each one.

I'm sure I'm not the only one who wants and needs to read inspiring short stories for a little positivity in a time when we get so much negative news every day.

Lee was asked to lead a half-day session on getting good ideas from the bottom of an organization up to the top at the 2022 ARC conference held at Paradise Point in San Diego. He nailed it. 

Speaking to the employees of the City of Peoria, Arizona on efficiency was well worth the long drive and 105 degree heat. What a great group and sharing ideas to do things better, faster, and easier is my passion. 

A family emergency with one of the main speakers meant a chance for Lee to step up and step in at the Executive Assistant Conference in Dana Point. With just a few days to prepare, Silber saved the day with his timely topic and interactive approach.

I will be one of several speakers at the Teach Me To Entrepreneur Summit on May 11, 2022. I will share some of my missteps and how to avoid them.
