?BML was my teacher over the past week? The session with Tim Sanders has changed me significantly. I am committed to observing no unfriendliness.?

?The conference was a tremendous success and your presentation was a huge part of that! In fact, you and your presentation were the talk of the conference? conference participants wrote in your name as the best speaker of the conference. A standing ovation? is indeed rare with our group. Your ability to touch ever single person in an audience of hundreds is amazing as well. If there were a scorecard for meeting planners to complete, I would rate you as one of the best speakers I?ve ever had the pleasure to work with. Your willingness to spend time tailing the presentation and talking to members prior to the conference was most appreciated. I wish all the speakers I work with could be as generous and caring about the outcome of their efforts as you were.?

Speech Topics

Harnessing the Power of Great Relationships

Based on his best selling book, Love is the Killer App: How to Win Business and Influence Friends, this presentation outlines a neo-Carnegie approach to better business. His theme is that happy employees and satisfied customers drive business. He provides advice on how to build relationships with Knowledge, Networking and Compassion.

Case studies, statistics and specific examples provide great proof that a positive work environment and positive customer dialogue always produces better profits as well as customer/employee satisfaction. Tim argues that some companies operate on a vicious cycle while others build a virtuous circle based on caring and trust.

Throughout the talk, Tim draws on a theme that defines great relationships, solid business culture and innovation: Abundance vs. Scarcity. In this talk, Tim outlines the threat of scarcity thinking to any great organization. He also outlines ways to spot it and rid your culture of it.

This is a customized talk, designed to meet the needs of a relationship driven theme. Tim conducts numerous interviews with audience members, executives and meeting planners to determine specific stories that will bring to life the following statement: “You will accomplish more in the next two months developing a sincere interest in two people than you’ll accomplish in the next two years, trying to get two people interested in you!”

Saving the World at Work

Based on a book by the same name to be published by Doubleday/Currency in September 2008.

Subject areas: Business Trends, Leadership, Branding, Motivational

Premise of the book: There is a revolution going on in the business world where companies will compete based on social innovations. Consumers, talent and investors are gravitating to companies that achieve high levels of social responsibility towards people, communities and the environment. The key for companies to thrive during this new era of business is to innovate how it does business and achieve high levels of employee participation. Companies leading the revolution include: Google, SAS Institute, Aveda, Patagonia, Interface, General Electric and Wal-Mart.

Tim’s keynote has an empowering message: A single employee can change the culture of an entire organization. A single employee can band together with like minded coworkers and create a powerful group for good. Sample stories that can be included in the keynote: A regional sales manager at Interface Floor that saved landfills from over one hundred million tons of discarded carpet. A corporate attorney that convinced Microsoft product managers to dramatically reduce packaging size and waste. A small group of bank tellers that convinced their senior management to get involved in breast cancer fundraising as a branding strategy.

Keynote actionable takeaways:
This talk will challenge audience members to:
• Improve the quality of life of all employees and workers
• Connect with local host communities and strengthen them
• Reduce individual and company environmental footprint

Customization in the keynote:
• Corporate meetings (Sales, Management, Leadership): Tim will consult with the client to identify social opportunities already in existence, but not well participated in. Examples include: Foundations, mentorship programs, ethics programs and volunteer activities. From the platform, Tim will identify these programs and show the audience how to “save the world at work” when they get home by immediately signing up for these programs.
• Association and Industry meetings: Tim’s team will research the relevant social opportunities in an industry (example: recycling in electronics) as well as the association’s most important social causes. He will advocate them from the platform.

Great fits for Tim Sanders' keynote:
Any company or association that is making social responsibility or sustainability a key part of their strategy. Eight out of ten Fortune 500 CEOs see this as the most important brand and reputation issue of the future. Less than one out of ten employees ever participate in any environmental, community or social programs at their company. Tim’s talk will be music to these executive’s ears.
