Brad's Top Five #1

Passion. Have it. Get it. Nourish it.

There is a guy named Chuck Mettler who knows how to follow his passion. He’s one of those fascinating guys who is always into something new.  If you say, “What have you been doing lately?” to most people, they’ll come up with something lame. “Same old, same old, ya know?” Chuck doesn’t know.  He is ALWAYS doing something new. Something [...]

"And The Winner Is..." - Why Game Shows Are Great For Business

I came across this photo from 15 L-O-N-G years ago when I presented a session in corporate entertainment to a business group. We used the “Let’s Make A Deal” theme and the crowd loved it! Although I had just a *little* more hair then, my solid applications using humor in the workplace have more than made up for what’s [...]

The Best Testimonial I’ve Ever Received

[No Comments]

re max logoLet’s face it:  corporate meeting and convention audiences are filled with multi-taskers.  A short time go, our greatest distraction as meeting planners and speakers was USATODAY.   Now it’s the fact that there is free wireless in every ballroom, smart phones, and USATODAY.

That’s why this short email from Re/Max international made my day.  (I worked for them at their Colorado headquarters recently.)  It is absolutely current, and made me feel like a million bucks.  Aw Shucks Re/Max!

Brad, One of our executives came up to me yesterday afternoon and said – “Ya know, I judge speakers by the amount of times I look at my iPhone while they’re talking.  I did not look once – thanks for bringing Brad in, he was a great speaker and the timing was perfect – really enjoyed it”.

We’ve had lots of positive comments and in my HR meeting today with other HR Executives I will gladly tout you and your message.   Thank you so much!!

Aw Shucks, Re/Max   It was my absolute total pleasure.  Thanks for taking the time to make me feel great.
