Because of the recent economic meltdown, most people lack Mojo and are more likely to be filled with thoughts of scarcity. Left unchecked, it could hold back people and entire organizations long after the economy recovers.

This keynote will outline a diet and exercise plan to increase your group's Mojo. Sanders will show the audience how to modify their information diet, reconsider the influences around them and sharpen their skills with education. Finally, he'll demonstrate how gratitude and generosity exercises lead to personal, corporate and community confidence.

Sanders was at ground zero during the dotcom crash, as Yahoo!'s Chief Solutions Officer. He saw some companies and individuals rise up from the ashes and others wither and fail. The difference, he learned, lies in perspective and practice. This customized keynote, taking your organization's unique situation into account, will give actionable advice on how to return to greatness again - despite the signs of the times.

Out of Scarcity
Getting Back to Abundance Thinking

Chances are scarcity thinking is one of the greatest challenges to your organization today. When your people are afraid, and believe that there is not enough to go around anymore, they stop innovating and collaborating. Fear sets in and the corporate culture becomes reactive and self-protecting. When scarcity think is prevalent, any change triggers selfish reactions. Does this sound familiar?

In this keynote, Tim Sanders will call out scarcity thinking as a cultural cancer of an organization, usually brought in by a few "Chicken Little's", who believe they add value by telling us that "the sky is falling." Sanders will outline the symptoms of scarcity thinking as well as how it can take any team or group down if left unchecked. Most importantly, he'll provide ways that we can overcome this mindset and think with abundance and confidence. This customized keynote, taking your organization's unique situation into account, will give actionable advice on how to return to greatness again - despite the signs of the times.

The Likeability Factor

The concept of likeability runs deeper than you think. Every person has a likeability factor that either helps them win in the game of life or lose in the battle for relationships. It’s our L-factor—diminished by unlikable behavior that cuts our profits, takes away our customers, friends, and partners. On a scale of 1 to 10, where 10 is wildly likeable, and 1 is despised by all—too many rate a 3 or 4.

Tim explores the measurable aspects of likeability, including levels of friendliness, relevance, empathy, and realness. Tim entertains and drives his points home by using relatable stories and research to build a case that being a better person will make you more successful in life and in business. He'll show how to get a competitive edge by learning that the more you care, the more people will want to be in your network and will want to support you.

This tailored keynote presentation outlines how likeability is the key to health, wealth and happiness in all arenas. Tim's presentation will draw extensively from his latest book, The L Factor, released in April 2005. The buzz about the book has already earned Tim a slot on the TODAY Show as well as PBS special.

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!”
