KEYNOTE SPEAKER & WORKSHOP FACILITATOR

Darren's keynotes and training sessions are thought-provoking and highly-entertaining.

Delegates will laugh while they learn and, more importantly, because Darren is passionate about his subject matters, they will be taken on emotional journeys that help ensure the messages remain long after they have left the conference room.

Having Darren deliver a Keynote or Workshop at a conference he is already MCing can be an astute way of stretching the conference budget.

All of his keynotes can also be run as breakout workshops (whether in addition to the keynote, or as a stand-alone item).

THEME:

Improving positive influence, trust and a more positive corporate culture.

OUTLINE

Influence is the ability to alter the actions of other people. POSITIVE INFLUENCE is the ability to do so for good, rather than for evil.

Using more positive influence in the workplace has significant consequences on the efficiency and happiness of the teams we work with, as well as the contentment of the clients we seek to satisfy and retain.

Darren Isenberg’s THE SEVEN WAYS TO IMPROVE YOUR POSITIVE INFLUENCE is an informative, inspirational and highly-entertaining examination of how each of us can make POSITIVE DIFFERENCES to ourselves and the people around us

The feedback has been tremendous. Delegates will leave the room feeling good about themselves and enthusiastic about how they can play a role in making their world a better place.

This touching tale takes delegates on an emotional and motivational journey as Darren relates the lessons he learned from an incredibly-challenging and confronting 25-day period of his life.

The journey is personal, but Darren makes it universal. It is sad, but Darren also makes it joyous.

And it asks its audience to consider some confronting but important questions, such as:

- What do people honestly think about your impact on their world?

- What don’t you know about the people you share your life with (be that at home or at work)?

- What truly matters? Are we being broad enough when we determine this?

In answering these questions, Darren leads his audience through inspirational pathways and ends by issuing a health challenge that has the power to truly save lives.

PowerPoint is a magnificent presentation tool. Unfortunately, you wouldn't know it by watching most people's use of it.

Many presentations are peppered with:

• Boring slides that reflect poorly on the speaker and the points they are making.

• Complicated graphs that delegates struggle to make heads or tails of.

• Slides that distract and annoy because of their poor design.

These (and other) mediocre design features detract from the effectiveness of even the best presentations, and can easily be fixed by following the suggestions in this keynote.
