Turn us loose to speak at your next event.
Looking for someone to inspire and educate your audiences?
Business owners turn to you and your organizations for instructive and engaging speakers at your events. They want to walk away from your event feeling energized and ready to take on their biggest business problem, and we can help. After talking to hundreds of business owners about their biggest issues, we’ve realized it can almost all be drilled down to a people problem – it just goes by a few different names: lazy workforce, can’t find good workers, Millennials are terrible, you know how it goes. But being a place that attracts good workers and inspires employees is such a better approach. We can teach your audiences how to recognize the real problem and course-correct.
Some of our favorite speaking topics are below. Interested in getting us on your stage? Let’s schedule a call!
Why Millennials Will Be Your Best Employees
We hear it all the time – Millennials don’t want to work, they are lazy, entitled, and expect a paycheck just for
showing up. Sorry, but we have had a different experience. In fact, what we know about Millennials is what
countless successful business leaders know – and are using to power their multi-million dollar blue collar empires.
Curious? Join us to learn more! (Warning: there will be no old people whining allowed.)
How to Attract, Hire, and Retain Rockstar Employees
Contrary to popular belief, there are PLENTY of people out there who want a great job with a great company. But
the question is – Are you offering a great job? Are you really a great company? Join us to learn exactly what it takes to build the kind of business that attracts and keeps rockstar employees?
Because I said so! (And Other Ways You Are Sabotaging Yourself)
Our fathers said it, and so did yours. But why doesn’t this new generation of workers respond to this
reasoning? Why must you explain every task and every decision to them? Why can’t they just do what they are
told? Not only can we shed light on that important distinction, but we can demonstrate exactly why it’s in your
best interest to lead this generation of employees in a totally new way, and how to start doing it today.

Carter wants to help people connect the seemingly everyday things they do in their business with the larger picture of meaning and purpose they desire for their lives, so it’s natural for him to look for stories and metaphors that make those connections better understood.
