"How to guarantee the most successful and memorable event ever!" Imagine that your next conference or corporate event is the most successful and well-attended one you've ever planned. How would you feel? What would it look like? Picture it.	Some of Jean's Clients American Hospital Association

Attendance is up and the seats are filled with excited, eager, upbeat participants who can't wait to hear the speaker you've chosen to deliver a dynamic keynote or workshop.

After the session, everyone thanks you for finding a speaker who cares about them, understands their challenges, and reaffirms that their work is valuable and meaningful. They're refreshed, re-energized and excited! And they can't believe how much fun they had while they learned! They're ready to press on - filled with a new sense of pride and joy for their work, their organization and their industry. Your boss congratulates you for a job well done. Evaluations are the highest they've ever been. And you stayed within your budget. Read what Jean's clients have to say.

Possible scenario? Definitely! Achievable outcomes? Absolutely!

Before you can create your most successful event ever, think back to your last one. How would you describe the attitude of your participants? Not exactly "bubbling over" with energy, excitement, pride and joy? Unfortunately, that's a common problem these days. And it's easy to understand why.

Whether they're employees at your in-house workshop or members at your next association event, they're probably feeling stressed out, burned out and just plain tired.

Your staff members are trying to survive budget constraints and increased competition in a tough economy. They're working harder than ever with fewer resources and fewer people.

Your association members are juggling a variety of demanding roles and responsibilities. They're trying to balance their volunteer committee duties with their "real" jobs while maintaining some semblance of a personal life.

Faced with this myriad of challenges, who has time or energy to muster up Pride and Joy?

Ask yourself this question: Why do people come to your event?

There is no doubt that education is important. But your participants show up for a lot of other reasons. Yes, sometimes they come because attendance is mandatory. But whether they have to be there or they choose to be there, one thing is certain. They don't come solely for "information." After all, they already know enough "stuff."

Here's what they want and need. Here's why they come :

• Validation that they're important – that they matter
• Being affirmed and valued for who they are and what they do
• New perspectives and insights to take what they already know and apply their knowledge more effectively in their jobs and their lives
• Strategies to help them cope
• Skills to meet their challenges with competence and confidence

A tall order, to be sure! But not impossible!

To get the job done, you need a speaker who can:

• Change attitudes and behaviors
• Educate, entertain, and inspire your participants
• Deliver results as promised

You need a speaker who is:

Passionate! Relevant! Inspirational! Different! Engaging!

You need Jean Gatz!
