Topics

• Everyone's a Comedian (Or at Least They Should Be)

• Subject Areas: Creativity, Innovation, Sales, Re-orgs or "Something that's a little different"

  In an entertaining fashion, this presentation not only illustrates the corporate need and benefits of thinking creatively in business, it actually teaches people how.

  This session details how comedians approach their own creative thinking, writing and performance.  It shares some tricks of the trade that can be applied to any professional setting.

  And most importantly, it teaches people how to actually be creative.  Most businesses are demanding more creative intelligence from their employees but no one is telling them how to do it.  This session helps that.

• Live Up To The Line

• Subject Areas:  Personal branding and strategy for implementation.

  Most organizations have an external positioning or tag-line that they communicate to the outside world.  That's great....Unless their people don't back it up with behaviours and decisions that re-enforce the core brand message.

  This session helps management by rallying personnel to support external messaging and helps individuals by illustrating how their personal brand can complement the organizational brand.

• Social Makes Sense

• Subject Areas: Social Media, Branding, Corporate Strategy
  
  This session is the next generation of the social media keynote. It doesn’t focus on why a company should have a Social media strategy (Or Twitter strategy or Facebook, or Foursquare..) but rather, why they should have a “social” strategy that runs through the entire organization. Does it include Social Media? Certainly. But there’s so much more.

  Using a number of proprietary global studies on consumer behaviour and consumer perspectives, this session explores the emerging consumer and the emerging corporations and brands they’ll interact with and how.

• Telling Your Story

• Subject Area: Corporate Storytelling, 'Something light and different, Sales, HR, Marketing.

  In a world of 140 character interaction, text abbreviations and an inbox that forces us to respond with the briefest of emails, consumers are craving for emotional connection in their lives and they're certainly gravitating to brands who make that emotional connection with them.

  One of the best ways to make that connection?  Don't share powerpoint slides, tell stories.  People don't emotionally connect with a spreadsheet, they connect with a real story featuring real people in real situations and real outcomes.

  Whether it's sharing stories internally to capture best practices or recognize achievement or whether it's telling stories externally to win pitches, grow the business or create a campaign, all organizations have wonderful stories to tell.  They just need to know how to tell them and how to share them.  This session accomplishes that.

• The Host

• Subject Area: Conference or Symposium Host (as opposed to an event host)
  
  Here’s what you usually get in a business host:
  1. A comedian who is funny but doesn’t get the content.
  2. A business person who gets the content but who isn’t entertaining.
  3. A TV personality who may get the content but you never know because it’s all about them.
  
  This is where Ron’s different. With close to 15 years performing, he can be funny. With over 15 years in advertising for a large number of different global clients, he usually gets the content. And with a commitment to preparation, he works with clients to establish threads between speakers, reinforce key topics, provide executive summaries / valuable lessons and keep the day moving in a fun and appropriate way. Attendees walk away feeling as if they’ve experienced a coordinated content effort as opposed to a random display of facts and figures. And they have more fun along the way too. To accomplish this Ron has shot and edited video on location, interviewed CEOs on stage and more.
