Program Topics

The New Face of a Leader - In these times of fast history, people and problems are changing. Successful leaders must be willing to let go of what has worked in the past, open their systems and be pulled by the future. Alan ignites the spark that rekindles a leader’s excitement for finding new solutions and inspiring teams along fresh and fulfilling paths to the future.

The Great Salesperson - Alan re-examines the classical rules of selling and demonstrates how salespeople must keep some and transform others if they are to remain successful and indispensable. Just as his proven “rules of selling” have helped thousands in the past, now Alan provides a fresh road map for the future.

This Is Your Time - Despite the challenges in the world – and to a considerable extent because of them – this is the time to renew and rededicate yourself to your important work. Challenge and adversity are the launching pad for future success. When we have the perspective to see opportunities, we can forge ahead with vigor, passion and resolve.

Thriving in Turbulent Times - To sustain and enhance success, organizations must be able to move quickly and find fresh solutions. Alan passionately communicates innovative insights and inspires people to get on with the tasks at hand.

Questions Great Financial Advisors Ask...and Investors Need to Know - Prosper in today's investment climate with practical ideas and intelligent inspiration from some of North America's most successful financial advisors. Understanding your clients’ investment wiring can help you wring the emotion out of their decision making and get past the subconscious motivations that can derail even the best plan to achieve their financial goals.

Shift Into High Gear - “Ride a bicycle downhill long enough and we think we’re great athletes. Then we hit an uphill and realize we’re out of shape. So we put it in low gear and plod up the hill. Do what bicycle racers do. They stay in low for most of a hill, but before the winners reach the top, they shift into high, pop out of their saddles and pump hard. That’s how you win the race.” Alan focuses on finding the energy and motivation to “go hard” when external factors say “quit” or “just hang on.” Extraordinary businesses are created by pushing hard when others quit. Winners stay positive, get creative and keep serving customers.
