We Can Do This!
The Annual ILEETA Conference (International Law Enforcement Educational Training Association) was at midpoint. The featured speaker, Stephen M. Gower, CSP, had just concluded his presentation. The headquarters office for ILEETA was located adjacent to the conference room. As attendees piled out from the conference room, many made the routine stop at the conference table to thank ILEETA for bringing Stephen and his highly relevant content to Chicago.
What was interesting was that most of those sharing comments about Stephen's content had more to say. They commented on Stephen's style of speaking and how they planned to return to their departments and agencies modifying immediately their methodology by Stephen's example. This scenario is interesting, because it highlights a benefit that is granted audiences who experience Stephen M. Gower, CSP.
You have visited our web site because of your interest in Stephen's presentations and products. The key words in that preceding sentence are “your interest.” Our web site is driven to translate general advantages into obvious benefits from the participant's point of view. The ideas that you will likely choose to isolate and the outcomes that you will choose to target are the foundation of this web site.
As was mentioned earlier, one of the benefits from experiencing Stephen Gower, is you will experience first hand how an admittedly nervous speaker has managed to soar beyond success. You can not help but be encouraged by the example. Although he has given more than 5,000 presentations, Stephen is quick to admit that he has been nervous every single time. What is interesting is that Stephen is convinced that this is one reason he is so well prepared and meaningful. Indeed, in two of his 21 books, Celebrate the Butterflies – Presenting with Confidence in Public and The Missing Lynx – A Speak in Public Learning System for High School Students, reminds his readers that the key to their speaking in public is the channeling of their nervous energy so that it becomes a friend. Stephen is appalled at 'speaking in public' is not mandatory at middle and high school education. He is convinced that the advantage a person has in speaking skills will enable him or her to achieve much more.
Key benefits of engaging Stephen and examples of how “we can do this”:
Content – As a best selling author of 21 books, and through a rigorous study that transcends four decades Stephen's presentations are content driven. Your interest is center-point. If Stephen does not feel there is a good match between what you need and where he excels, he will suggest that further pursuit would be inappropriate. (Clients who know Stephen well would never ask him to speak on computer technology, future trends, or physical fitness.)
Our web site will lead those wondering whether or not “we can do this” to a plethora of course descriptions that serve as the outline for some of Stephen's presentations. The meat on the bones of those outlines is added once the client share how they want their participants to feel and what they want them to do when they leave the conference..
Testimonials – The testimonial-factory has been manipulated to the point where form has transcended force. Authenticity has been dwarfed by stale comments and trite language. The testimonials included in the web site you are soon to explore are strong enough that we encourage you to contact any of our referrals (segmented into disciplines). Please call Heather for contact information.
The Subjective – Content and testimonials fall into the “objective” category. A visit to our web site will far transcend the objective and actually give you a feel, a unique feel for who Stephen Gower is. That feeling should give you a feeling of excitement – because you should know that together you and Stephen can do this.
