DR. LARRY HELMS "no pie-in-the-sky professor"

Fee: $3,500/exp
Oregon Based

There is no substitute for experience combined with education and training. Too often, however, some speakers try to conceal a lack of subject knowledge and a lack of thorough understanding with fast patter, stale comedy and hot air. If you are weary of speakers who claim to be experts and then deliver sixth-grade level book reports, warmed-over theories and tired opinions, you will love Dr. Larry Helms. He is for real!

He is no pie-in-the-sky professor. He could care less how many angels could dance on the head of a pin, or what is the sound of one-hand clapping. His organizational development practice involves 29 companies in 43 states and two foreign countries. Once he accepts an engagement, he utilizes his training and background to truly research the client's needs and match them with a totally customized presentation.

A presentation on "Team Building," for example, given to corporate officers at IBM would be different from the same titled program presented to foremen at the annual conference at the Texas Landscape Contractors' Association!

Blaise Winter Motivational Humorist Speaker

BLAISE WINTER Motivator & Humorist

Fee: $3,500/exp
Wisconsin Based

The Man. Blaise Winter is living proof of the POWER OF MIND AND BODY. Born with a cleft lip and palate, he underwent many surgeries and long hours of speech therapy. Tumors removed in each ear resulted in deafness in one ear.

Mistakenly placed in a class for mentally retarded children, Blaise rejected feelings of self-doubt and low self-esteem finding acceptance through sports. "Sports," Blaise says, "were a way for me to speak without opening my mouth." However, the experts said he had no physical athletic talent. Blaise's response was to develop a habit of positive self-talk that has dominated his life.

The Mission. Blaise again proved the experts wrong by being named MVP of Syracuse University in 1983. Not only was he drafted into the NFL, but he went on to play 11 years of professional football and ended his NFL career with a Championship ring! Blaise played for the Indianapolis Colts, Green Bay Packers and San Diego Charges.

The Message. "A self-made man with flaws," Blaise has a unique ability to touch all audiences. According to Blaise, "I'm human. I'm not a clone, a dictionary or super hero." He speaks with a fresh and sincere style which echos with passion. Be it laughing one moment or stone silent the next, the message is clear — Blaise convinces his audience that they can make a difference.

From Desperation to Dedication

Check Out The Summary

On November 12, 1992, Troy Evans was sentenced to 13 years in Federal Prison. He was convicted of five armed bank robberies, in three states, over a six-month crime spree, and was sent to the Federal Correctional Complex. His neighbors included such notorious criminals as Timothy McVeigh and Terry Nichols. Troy was released on December 13, 1999, over seven and one-half years later.

Despite the obstacles that only prison can produce, Troy was determined that his time behind bars would not be wasted time. Education would be his saving grace. After six months of filling out applications, writing essays, begging, pleading, and selling, Troy landed his first scholarship for one class. That was a beginning, and when Troy walked out the doors of prison he carried with him two degrees, both obtained with a 4.0 GPA and designation on the Dean’s and President’s list.

Troy is now a motivational speaker who shares his story and lessons learned with audiences of all ages. Since his release, Evans has taken the Corporate, Association and Education platforms by storm with his motivational keynote speeches. Audiences are stunned by his endurance, accomplishments and remarkable personal transformation. With straightforward, real life examples, Evans shows how the keys to his success in prison are the keys to his success today, and how these lessons can be applied to escaping the "prisons within ourselves". He renews an appreciation for what is really important in all of our lives and motivates each and every person to overcome adversity, adapt to change, and to realize their full potential.
