The 101 Leaders Institute “Prosperity Seminar Series” featured Patricia Fripp, CSP, CPAE on January 23, 2010 at the beautiful Sherwood Country Club in Thousand Oaks, California. Her topic was Presentation Skills and she Wowed the audience, as expected!

The amazing Miss Fripp not only taught, but also practiced the techniques and strategies that have allowed her to reach the absolute top of the field of professional speaking. She is:

• Past President of the National Speakers Association and its first female president,
• a Certified Speaking Professional, CSP
• an inductee into the Professional Speakers Hall of Fame, CPAE
• a Cavett Award winner
• a regular presenter on many of the most prestigious programs in the country
• and a speech & sales presentation trainer to celebrities, politicians, and corporate executives around the world.
• She has delivered thousands of speeches in every conceivable setting over a speaking career that spans more than thirty years.

Some of her key points, as remembered by the attendees, include:

Focus on what the audience will get, not on what you will tell them.

Reduce your “I” count, talk about them not about you.

Structure Frees you, it doesn’t “freeze” you. Organize your information into a logical flow.

Use your technology, don’t let it use you. Learn how to use PowerPoint and your other tools well.

The packed audience was engaged from beginning to end of this 3 hour program. Host Jim Cathcart, president of the 101 Leaders Institute and also a past president of the National Speakers Association, said, “I’ve known Patricia Fripp for over 30 years and, of the thousands of speakers I know NOBODY is a more dedicated student of their craft than Patricia. She is amazingly dedicated to learning: story telling, script writing, speech craft, stage techniques, choreography, voice control, writing techniques, comedy, acting and performance. There is no better presentation skills coach on Earth! And I defy you to prove me wrong.”

We are delighted to be of service to you and your business.

Last night Scott McKain did an exceptional presentation for my 101 Leaders Prosperity Seminar series. He really was compelling, powerful and entertaining. Here is a video clip we captured that covers just one of his many points on how to differentiate your company, product or self from the competitors. (To download his slides from the event and to see a couple of video clips of his stories, go to www.101Leaders.com.

Clearly Scott is a masterful storyteller, but he also is the bestselling author of What Your Customers Really Want, The Collapse of Distinction and All Business is Show Business…all of which have become Amazon #1 bestsellers. He’s a brilliant man, a powerful business executive and a good friend of mine.
Give him a call at ScottMcKain.com and have him speak to your group.
Or give Me a call and let’s discuss how to apply these great ideas to your company.

Here is a free 4 minute video that I created for TSTN for my series “The Purpose of Selling“. It is about the idea of creating Profitable Business Friendships. I thought you’d enjoy seeing it and perhaps sharing it with your own team. Feel free to pass this link along to anyone you wish.

My own focus in building profitable new business friendships is now focused on growing the enrollments in the 101 Leaders Institute Seminar Series. I’m bringing hall of fame professional speakers and best selling authors here to the “101 Corridor” where I live, so they can hear national experts without travel requirements. http://www.101leaders.com
