Are you a trainer facing increasing pressures to justify your contribution to the bottom line?

Do you remember hearing a professional speaker who really moved you? Even today, long after the event you remember the story that moved you. You probably walked out of the room feeling great and challenged to do even more.

In this uncertain economy, wouldn’t you love to bring that quality to each of your training events? Right now every aspect of corporate performance is monitored to measure its contribution to the bottom line.

The bottom line effect is easier to show for people who are on the front lines providing direct services to customers. Most of us, however, do our magic in the training room--one step removed from direct contact with the customers whose spending promotes the bottom line. What we do is important and we need to connect to make sure it is both noticed and valued.  Every aspect of a training program must both sparkle—get good reviews—and also demonstrate an impact on creating a positive bottom line.

In this session RJ DiDonato and Dr. Peter Pizor will reveal the hidden secrets of creative engagement that will make your trainings memorable, enjoyable, and most of all, with results that will stick to employees in a way that promotes the bottom line.

In this lively interactive session, you will take away:

• The hidden power of creative engagement: how to create a learning environment.
• The powerful applications of Pizor’s Principle:  Pattern, Field, and Polarity, the  surprisingly simple science underlying effective learning.
• How to use metaphor, story, and mnemonic to make meaning come alive in a way that changes behavior.
