How To “Turn Up The Volume”  On Your Influence, Income, and Impact

This is an amazing time in history. Entrepreneurs, organizations, visionaries, and leaders are helping to move humanity forward and enhance life for everyone. They’re creating and growing amazing businesses, movements, and positive social change. They’re making an impact, worldwide and one-on-one.

Imagine if everyone turned up the volume. Imagine each of these entrepreneurs, organizations, visionaries, and leaders inspiring more of their clients, customers, and audience to say “yes” and take action. Imagine them creating more win-win relationships and setting a positive example for other businesses & leaders.

Ben’s talk will teach you how to “turn up the volume”:

1) be a more in influential communicator and a better leader; 2) articulate your unique purpose (...then express it through your ideas, message, content, book, leadership style, products, services, and/or speech); and 3) position yourself as an expert/authority/thought leader.

From Innovation To Transformation: Building A Culture of Creativity, Connection, & Success

Most companies fail because most approach innovation as a “quick fix solution” to problems. To succeed, however, innovation must become part of your culture and the “fabric” of your company.

This approach creates high value, lasting transformation and success in your organization while helping you make your vision into a reality.

By making innovation part of your culture, two things happen:

• You can create sustainable, long term success in your organization.

• As a leader, you can build an effective personal brand and cultivate the networks, loyalty, and support you need to take you career, or company to the next level.

The 3 Simple Steps for Inspiring More People To Say "YES

Think back to a time when you were speaking with someone and connecting deeply with them. You were present, “in the now”, and expressing your purpose. The experience that you created—and the ways that you communicated—opened the doors to impactful, lasting transformation in their business or their life. (Or both.) You helped this person step into their greatness.

Now what if you could recreate that experience, but you didn’t have to be face- to-face? What if you could bring that same energy, empathy, and influence into all of your communication... whether you’re teaching a seminar, speaking to a group, leading a team, making a video, or writing an email?

Ben will show you how to communicate so it creates instant rapport, positions you as a thought leader and a go-to expert, gives people the opportunity to know, like, and trust you.
