How great would it be to have a keynote and or workshop designed and created specifically for you event?

 Bill offers just such a thing!

Bill tells a story about a speech he was asked to give to an organization, a speech that could have gone terribly wrong. He had prepared his material from a selection of his offerings and was all set to present when one of the organizers asked to speak with him in private. He took Bill aside and said, “There is something we maybe should have told you in our discussion about today. We have just laid off about twenty percent of our workforce and we are not sure if there will be more layoffs. Rumours are rampant and a lot of people are hurting and scared. We didn’t want you to worry about that, but then I figured you should know.” They were right. Bill had a bit of time before he went on and sat down with his material. He revamped it almost entirely in order to work with what he had just heard and what he knew was the impact that that reality was having on his audience. When he got up to speak, he spoke directly to the layoffs and the fear of more. He spoke about the feelings they might be experiencing and how they could work together to cope with the changes that would likely ensue. He started with that, and also allowed this information to affect the tone of the rest of his speech. Afterwards, the organizers and many members of the audience thanked Bill for addressing the painful elephant in the room.

This was the start of Bill’s belief that every keynote needs specific attention to the audience. And as a result of this experience and others like it, Just for You was born.

For a number of years Bill has offered specific keynotes and workshops, and as his experience grew, he often took the opportunity to create new material with each and every presentation. This individual crafting not only provided value-added to each presentation but became a source of material and an additional skill set for Bill as a presenter.

Now he has taken that skill and those experiences and uses them to create Just For YOU! a keynote and workshop unique to your event.

Just For YOU! will be a keynote and/or workshop developed and created in close consultation with you the organizer of the event. Bill thoroughly researches the needs and desired outcomes for the conference or day event that you are developing. He asks questions and then deep dives into your organization and the audience and creates material that directly relates to the people gathered.

Working closely with you and people in your organization Bill makes sure he touches on the themes and specific outcomes that you are after, and he does so with wit and insight born of years of working with a vast variety of industries and organizations.

Bill starts with questions such as:

What is the theme of your event?

What are the immediate outcomes you are looking for?

What are the long-term outcomes you would like to see?

What are some of the priorities you would like addressed?

What are the main challenges your people and your industry are facing?

What are the sensitivities he needs to be careful of?

Who do you serve and what are their needs?

From there, he researches your audience and using language familiar to them, he illuminates the issues and themes of the event. Bill also seeks to add previously undiscovered insights he brings to the table as an experienced outsider and keen observer of industries and organizations over the last thirty plus years. A common sentiment shared after Bill’s keynotes is “How do you know us so well. It’s like you work here!” It’s Bill’s favourite review.

Just for YOU! is just for you and your people and will add a richness of insight and humour to the experience of your event creating a unique, fun and moving experience that will be talked about and celebrated long after the event is over.
