Keynote Speaking

Are you playing full-out in your life?

Finally, a speaker that consistently plays full out and goes beyond your expectations!

Anyone can claim to be an inspiring, experienced speaker, but it is not easy to find someone who leaves a memorable impact on your audience and creates positive, lasting change. What if we can promise you a speaker who can achieve your outcome with the right message and audience experiences to lead your organization to focused growth and faster results? It’s a big claim… and we will deliver on it.

When we were planning our West Territory Government Leadership Conference, we wanted to offer something to the entire team that would be memorable and impactful. More importantly, we wanted to deliver a development program that would inspire and differentiate our Broker Managers in the field to attract and engage more actively selling Brokers then our competitors. I am happy to say that the two-day “FIRE-UP” program delivered/facilitated by Master Trainer, Arthur Schwartz exceeded our expectations. In fact, the surveys that have come back from the team all have one theme in common: “Thank you, Senior Leadership; you knocked it out of the park with the FIRE UP program” and a rating of 97% on a 100 point scale – the first time I’ve seen this in my tenure at Aetna.

Territory Vice President, Aetna

Arthur has been fantastic to work with over the last few months. His approach and tremendous insight has brought a ton of value to our sales organization at a very critical time. His ability to quickly assess our companies value prop, diagnose core issues, and formulate new techniques that fit into today's world has given everyone a fresh perspective and had a positive impact across our sales organization. If you are looking for new and relevant ways to grow your business and motivate your team, I highly recommend Arthur as your guy!

Jeff Fallis

Vice President, Sales, Blast Motion, Inc.

I have known Arthur for over 20 years working together in the Medicare Sales industry. Arthur was hired on by Aetna to conduct a 2 day Sales Presenter and coaching session training with our West regional sales team and all applauded the Fire Up training method, indicating it was one of the best sales trainings they had attended. He also videotaped the team which created an outstanding team building session as an added benefit. Art has a down to earth approach with valuable content that our employees could easily implement in the field. He is genuine in wanting to help teams succeed and I highly recommend Arthur and the “Fire-Up system” in taking your team to the next level in presenting and providing valuable feedback for success.

Arthur will share with your organization why having difficult conversations is the most important thing you can do today!

Now, the real truth about peak performance

Face it; people are creatures of habit. So you can waste valuable resources bringing in a “motivational” speaker who may entertain, amuse and teach a few skills, but just having new information isn’t enough to make lasting changes.

People have to be challenged to reach their highest level of performance. During our programs, you experience the skills using cutting-edge techniques in inspiring and practical ways. Your audience will leave with the new skills, and with the inspiration to manifest enhanced performance on a regular basis.

”Are Your Conversations Creating Trust” is for anyone who wants to increase trust, collaboration, and mutual success with any audience.

In a recent survey of 400 companies with 100,000 employees, each cited an average loss of $62.4 million per year because of inadequate communications between employees. Words create worlds. If you said yes to any of the three questions below, consider having Arthur Schwartz deliver this keynote to your organization.

Do the people on your team often seem to talk past each other?

Do you and your leaders find yourselves exerting power rather than exercising leadership?

Does it sometimes feel as if everybody in the room is addicted to being right?

Nine key takeaways:

Master, the neuroscience of conversations and the resulting impact on our abilities to listen, to connect, to relate.
Distinguish different Conversational styles and behaviors that can either open us up and prime for healthier dynamics – or conversely, trigger defensive, closed positions.
Discover new ways of listening; of asking questions; and even thinking.
Develop confidence in new ways of being with ourselves and others.
You’ll be able to open-up for greater, more promising possibilities in relationships, performance, trust – and so much more.
Distinguish how interactional dynamics increase or erode trust.
Increase your awareness of how conversations work.
Distinguish between conversations that lead others into either “I-centric” protector “we-centric” partner behaviors.
Lean into difficult conversations, instead of avoiding them.
