ACCELERANT COMMUNICATIONS

Overview:

Don’t just pay a speaker to enter­tain you, have John Felkins help you nail your objec­tives at your next event, con­fer­ence, sem­i­nar or retreat.
As I men­tioned to you in Chicago, I was par­tic­u­larly impressed by how well you researched your audi­ence before­hand to be sure your mes­sage would be tai­lored to their needs. Not only did you visit our web­site, but you remem­bered what you saw and were able to bring that into the dis­cus­sion. I was duly impressed! Your pro­gram on Lead­ing Con­flict: How to Lever­age Ten­sion to Cre­ate Progress was one of the high­lights of the con­fer­ence for me. Judg­ing by the dis­cus­sion at the ses­sion, many of my peers in other pro­fes­sional firms felt the same way. ~ Bob Joy Pres­i­dent JMZ Architects

Speak­ing Formats:

Keynot­ing: Huge invest­ments are made to get a large group all into one room and the oppor­tu­nity needs to be max­i­mized. I help sound the keynote of con­fer­ences and estab­lish a theme to moti­vate peo­ple to become engaged. Gen­eral ses­sion speaker: When you desire spe­cific con­tent to be con­veyed to your audi­ence I con­vey the crit­i­cal infor­ma­tion to your mis­sion in a pow­er­ful and prac­ti­cal man­ner Con­cur­rent speaker: More inti­mate groups need more cus­tomized con­tent. I cre­ate con­ver­sa­tions that have great impact with high poten­tial atten­dees Trainer: If train­ing isn’t designed to meet spe­cific and mea­sur­able objec­tives it is a waste of time. I design and deliver train­ing that cre­ates break­through improve­ment Facil­i­ta­tor: More than just mak­ing sure every­one gets a chance to talk I enable groups to com­mu­ni­cate bet­ter, to resolve issues more expe­di­ently and fos­ter col­lab­o­ra­tive and con­struc­tive dia­logue.
John was very ener­getic and enthu­si­as­tic dur­ing his dis­cus­sion on how pas­sion has to be sin­cere if we want to be suc­cess­ful in our pro­fes­sional and per­sonal lives. He dis­played a com­plete knowl­edge of val­ues, vision, wis­dom, objec­tives and goals as he pre­sented his thoughts on devel­op­ing a plan for our lives. I can rec­om­mend with com­plete con­fi­dence, John Felkins, as a pro­fes­sional who is knowl­edge­able and con­fi­dent when mak­ing a pre­sen­ta­tion. ~ John C. Modzelewski, Engi­neer­ing and Pub­lic Works Direc­tor City of McAlester Oklahoma

I would like to thank you for the excel­lent sem­i­nar enti­tled “The Inno­va­tion Man­date” you pro­vided to our stu­dents on Octo­ber 9, 2009, orga­nized by the TTU Grad­u­ate ECE Stu­dent Asso­ci­a­tion and the IEEE Edu­ca­tion Soci­ety, Ten­nessee Chap­ter. Your sem­i­nar was inter­ac­tive. As the stu­dents par­tic­i­pated in the process and they enjoyed it very much. They learned quite a bit about the inno­va­tion process. As they were involved in the process, I am sure that their reten­tion will be high. ~ Dr. P.K. Rajan Ten­nessee Tech University
