Selected Presentations:
Conference Catalyst:
A main reason cited for attendance Multi-Day events (conferences, trade shows, conventions, seminars, etc..) is "networking opportunites". However, most people never take full advantage of meeting the other amazing people in the audience. Thom Singer will serve as your "Conference Catalyst" and help make your meeting a more successful experience for those in attendance. Speaking not once, but in short bursts throughout the conference, Thom will give the attendees the necessary permission to make the contacts they desire. When attendees have a successful experience they are more likely to talk about the event to their peers and return the following year.
Some Assembly Required:
Marketing, Sales, PR, Business Development, Networking, Social Media, and Advertising all contribute to creating your personal and professional brand. Those who create a collective balance of these business disciplines can establish stronger reputations that will lead them to greater success. Thom Singer's book, "Some Assembly Required: How to Make, Grow and Keep Your Business Relationships" is an important tool for every professional. Your network is even more important in a rough economy. Those who have a strong network of contacts will have more opportunities. However, many do not know how to cultivate real relationships that can and will lead to more business. This presentation goes beyond the basics of networking and inspires the audience to cultivate real connections by creating an "Integrated Visibility Program". Thom works with professionals to understand the power of their relationships, and turn that into real business.
Beyond Networking:
A Guide to Winning More Business. Making connections is a great first step, but taking action and converting your network into real opportunities is what produces results. This talk encourages the audience to close more business with those who already know and like them.
The ABC's of Networking:
Building your personal brand can be as easy as A-B-C. With just a few carefully chosen examples, your organization can be motivated to capture all the benefits of your personal and professional networks. Light hearted but inspiring, this presentation is for everyone who wants to build their personal brand.
Ten Items Or Less:
The mistake that people make while waiting in line at the supermarket is that they assume the express lane will move quickly. However there is always the unforeseen issue that pops up and derails the process (Someone ahead of you has 50 items or they need a price check, etc…). The same is true in building your career. It is not just about you, but all those around you that lead you to success. In this presentation your audience will be inspired to work with others to achieve more together than any individual could do alone.
Generational Networking:
Inside and Outside Your Company: Today's workforce includes "Baby Boomers", "Generation Xers", and "Millennials". All bring unique abilities to the workplace, but too much that we hear about the the generations working together sets up a competitive "us vs. them" environment. Thom Singer educates audiences on why we all have more to learn from other generations and the ways to embrace the differences to advance the common good. Inside our outside your company, how you connect with those of all age groups will have an important impact on your career.
Cooperative Significance
Everyone wants to be significant, but we cannot achieve this alone. Inside and outside your company you need to establish a team of people whom you can count on to be there on your path. Companies do better when their employees are connected. Turn over goes down, and morale goes up. Customers like to do business with companies with engaged and engaging employees. This program helps people identify their cooperative groups and open their field of vision beyond their own immediate needs.
Thom taught me the most important lesson that I have learned as a lawyer -- to develop business lawyers must think like entrepreneurs."
Jeff, Law Firm Partner
"I wanted to thank you for your energy and facilitation at the conference. I have been to a few of these type of events, but got far more out of the past few days, primarily because of your role as networking catalyst. In the breaks after each of your times on stage I found myself talking with a new set of people, asking them why they came to the conference or what their major challenge was? I made some great connections."
David, CIO (Entertainment Industry)
"Thom, thanks again for speaking at our annual meeting. So often the 'guest speaker' isn't the highlight. In our case, you were the highlight."
Rick, IT Consultant
"I wanted to follow up with you and let you know that my team was impressed with your presentation. They all felt that you had taken the time to learn about what they encounter every day and this made your message very meaningful. Thanks for rejuvenating us all with your inspirational presentation"
Jerrold, Travel Industry Executive
"I am writing to let you know what a great impact you had on my sales team this year. Despite some large obstacles, we were able to hit our team budget and a lot of our success was the result of applying the principles you teach.
The way you were able to keep the whole room into your presentation says a lot about you as a presenter. Too often during training sessions I will look around the room to find dulled eyes. There wasn't a person in the room that was thinking about anything other than raising their visibility and growing their brand".
John, Publishing Industry Executive
"I attend networking events all the time. I have to be honest, yours was the first one that made me want to go out and be a better member of the community"
