Over the past few weeks, the entire meetings and events industry went from stages to screens in less time than it takes to click the new “care” reaction on a Facebook post.
And while many annual conferences have pivoted and adapted to this new virtual event space, what about all of the businesses who are trying to inspire their teams now forced to work from home… quarantined… afraid… while homeschooling their kids? Sure, all of our speakers can deliver their on-stage keynote programs at virtual summits, conferences, and events. But how do you lead a weekly or monthly virtual team meeting that constantly creates engagement and inspires your team?
Our customers called on us for help. And we answered.
Designed for weekly virtual meetings and staff check-ins (which have quickly become a new normal) several of our speakers have created short, virtual sessions to bring inspiration and real-world ideas to leaders and teams.
These aren’t customized keynote presentations (although we still do those virtually and are regularly booking events for the fall and 2021). These sessions are designed to be shorter in length and budget-friendly for your staff meetings, to facilitate better employee engagement and productivity. Pick a standalone topic – or create an ongoing, weekly series for your team.

Business Growth, Performance, and Leadership
Due to the Coronavirus (COVID-19) crisis, most businesses are facing the biggest challenges in their history. There are no easy answers, but there are some strategies to consider in this period of unprecedented uncertainty. Acclaimed marketing speaker and author Mark Schaefer (a survivor of the COVID-19 virus), will take your sales and marketing team through an understandable and actionable process that will lift spirits, dispense hope, and provide new direction in desperate times.
Successful leaders don’t drift towards success, they NAVIGATE. In his newest program, Steve Gutzler identifies the key principles and choices that will determine your powerful breakthrough after the break-out.
In this globally unprecedented time for all businesses, Steve will provide a clear roadmap of actionable steps to rebuild, rally your team, and regain business success.
Designed for business leaders who are overseeing employees working remotely, relationship expert Shasta Nelson inspires and teaches how to create a sense of belonging when distance separates us.
Research shows that employees who have meaningful relationships at work are seven times more likely to be engaged in their job, treat customers better, take fewer sick days, have fewer workplace accidents, share their opinions and collaborate more, and feel more committed to their current company. With new work-from-home mandates in place for your team, how do you keep your team feeling connected, not just to you, but also to each other?
In his corporate keynote programs and workshops, Alan Stein, Jr. teaches proven strategies to improve organizational performance, create effective leadership, increase team cohesion and collaboration, and develop winning mindsets, rituals, and routines.
These practical lessons can be delivered individually or in a series at your weekly or monthly virtual team meetings. Each lesson is designed to be 20-30 minutes in length, plus Q&A with Alan if your schedule permits.
Customer and Employee Experience
In this virtual presentation, Joey Coleman will address how COVID-19 has impacted customer and employee experience. The new business climate is globally unprecedented and presenting new challenges every day. Smart organizations will be able to weather the storm if they get clear on their action steps now and implement enhanced customer experience and employee experience activities that can be sustained throughout the crisis and beyond. If desired, Joey will add an open Q&A session to troubleshoot specific challenges participants are facing in their business.
Wellbeing
It’s one thing to figure out the digital infrastructure needed to maintain communication and productivity, but it’s quite another thing to maximize interactions in a way that leaves everyone feeling seen and supported.
Just because you might have to work apart, doesn’t mean you have to feel alone.
In this virtual program, designed for corporate teams working remotely, relationship expert Shasta Nelson teaches attendees what it takes to feel supported and connected, while facilitating meaningful interactions that increase resiliency, hope, and compassion.
Quarantines, travel restrictions, remote work (with children underfoot), isolation, and financial loss all contribute to a feeling of lack of control. This overwhelming sense can increase stress, worry, and anxiety because you feel you don’t have the proper resources to handle what’s in front of you.
Human Behavior Expert Colette Carlson provides strategies to eliminate pressure and panic by learning how to take control or let things go.
Communication
The common denominators of the most successful people are the ability to effectively communicate and connect, regardless of the situation or audience. In today’s competitive world filled with a global workforce, virtual meetings, numerous communication challenges, and daily digital distractions, getting your message heard has never been more challenging. Clear, concise communication is no longer enough to get results: connection must be part of the equation.
In this virtual presentation, designed for leaders and teams working remotely, Colette Carlson provides specific techniques to connect and communicate on a deeper level to form crucial relationships that drive productivity, engagement, and collaboration.
