When people ask me what I do for a living, I tell them (with a grin on my face) that it's classified information - I'll need to whisper the answer.

"I'm a motivational speaker,'" I mumble, as I look around to see if anyone else is listening.

I understand how the 'clean' baseball players must feel in the shadows of the steroid controversy. They are tarnished by substance abuse. My profession suffers from content abuse and we have our share of bad guys out there pitching.

But no more whining. I love what I do

I incorporate humor, a powerful enhancer that's 100% natural. The audiences laugh; they also listen, and they leave knowing that work can be much more enjoyable.

Billy Graham has a great quote: “A keen sense of humor helps us to overlook the unbecoming, understand the unconventional, tolerate the unpleasant, overcome the unexpected, and outlast the unbearable”

Smart bosses have learned that by creating a happy workplace success will follow. Unfortunately, a majority of leaders resist the concept like it's a plague.

If you're willing to take the risk, I'll provide strategies that will help create a happy workplace.  When employees enjoy their working environment really good things start to happen:

• There’s a noticeable drop in absenteeism.
• Time off due to stress related illnesses is reduced.
• Retention climbs because employees choose to stay with your company
• Sales and customer satisfaction soar dramatically

And now that you have the inside scoop … you won't have to ask me what I do.

We can get right down to the business of improving your business.
