I can bring any of the topics on this blog to life — for any audience, large or small.

So, why would you want me to speak to your group?

• This is more than just motivation — my topics are about leadership — hearing them in person really drives the point home
• We build concepts through group skepticism — I can easily build in a workshop period to my talk, which allows the room to bombproof topics and build new ones
• We walk out with an action plan. Sure, a speech can get people fired up, but let’s have the goal of leaving with a real to-do list
• Okay, it’s freaking fun. On stage, I’m part philosopher, part stand-up comic, part terribly confused consumer. Your people will remember this presentation and ask for more.

Here are some of the topics we can cover together:

• How to build a better story
• How to get the whole team saying the same thing
• How to outsmart and confound the competition by recommending them
• How to bring disruptive nutritional technologies to consumers for the benefit of the brand
• How to make your next packaging update more than just an update
• How to build a tribe
• How to sell more by selling less

And here are a few of my appearances/performances:

• American Advertising Federation — “This Speech is Only Half Finished”
• Pure Barre Annual Meeting — “Making Pure Barre an Emotional Brand”
• First Western Trust Annual Meeting — “Introducing ‘A Connected View.’”
• Cellular One Annual Meeting — “Can’t Touch This”
• Cellular One Quarterly meeting — “Mondo Conglomo Cellular”
• Ad Club Colorado — Food for Thought – Strategy and Account Planning (panelist)
• The Denver Egotist — Once (panelist)
• Two Weeks to Truth™ — Master of Ceremonies (100+ events)

People like what I’ve had to say:

“Eric had us enthralled. Our club walked away understanding how to better promote themselves and the industry.”

— Scott Kessler, Chairman at American Advertising Federation Akron

“There were 300 or so Pure Barre franshicees in attendance; a very opinionated group. But Eric’s presentation on how to rebrand the brand had everyone nodding approval. Afterwards, I had to ask him if he did stand up, the presentation was that funny and sticky.”

— Tiffany N. Currid, Pure Barre owner, Brooklyn, NY

“Kiker is not shy with his opinions, but unlike us, he leaves the ego at home.”

— The Denver Egotist
