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
