Stevie Ray For More Information Call: 877-234-6086
Stevie is a nationally touring speaker and performer, getting audiences on their feet (and learning to think on them). As a trainer, he has helped tens of thousands to handle tough, on-the-spot situations with ease. Teams and working groups also learn what it takes to stay vital and productive. Areas of Expertise: Communication Customer Service Humor Team Building Fee Range: Keynote: $10,000 Half Day up to 3 hours: $10,000 Stevie's Most Requested Programs: Think on the Spot – Have you ever thought of the perfect thing to say, but it was on the drive home? Ever get tongue-tied when put on the spot? This unique workshop uses hands-on exercises to give you skills you can use everyday to think fast and handle tough, on-the-spot challenges. You Command Speaking – You have a big presentation coming up. This could win you the promotion, the client, or the job. The trouble is, you have spent years learning your professional, not presentation. You have to stand out from the crowd, but you don’t know how. Stevie Ray can help you with both parts of a good presentation: what you say, and how you say it. Learn to structure a presentation for maximum effect. Practice hands-on techniques to make delivery smooth and memorable. Commanding Laughter – Have you ever tried to make a group laugh, but it fell flat? When that happens to most people, they simple don’t try again. They are ignoring one of the most powerful tools of communication we have, laughter. The ability to create laughter can close a deal, seal a relationship, or position a leader. The act of laughter reduces stess, improves information retention, and smoothes the communication process. Anyone can tell you how important laughter is, but few can help you command it like Stevie Ray. He is the only person to create an actual college degree to study the subject. Networking on the Spot – Do you remember the last networking event you attended? Did you just stand by the buffet table hoping someone would strike up a conversation? Or worse, did you see some people you knew and latch onto them for the entire evening? Or maybe you think you know how to network, but are you sure? Maybe you got your business card into a dozen people’s pockets, but will they use them. This workshop shows you how to make networking goals, identify prospects, and engage people in conversation that will lead to new business. Think Like a Team – Does your team seem to take forever to make a decision? Is every meeting a chore, with wasted time and disagreement. Stevie Ray will show you the Eight Elements of an Effective Team as well as specific behaviors to watch for that lead a team to failure, or success. This program is guaranteed to produce an efficient, results-oriented team. A team that is committed to being extraordinary and can handle projects smoothly and quickly. Playing Together in the Sandbox – The cultural face of the American workplace is changing more rapidly than ever before. With that change comes a greater risk of communication break-downs, mis-matched management styles, and decreased productivity. The trouble is, when you think of training sessions dealing with diversity, you usually think of boring lectures about the importance of everyone working together. Stevie Ray’s uses funny stories, small-group interaction, and honest straight-from-the-heart talk. In an atmosphere free of judgement and blame, the attendees leave knowing just how they can take an active role in keeping their workplace as productive and fun as kids playing in a sandbox.
