Get to the “YES!” Quicker: How to Increase Trust, Connection & Likeability in 3 minutes or less.

Does your group want to deepen relationships with current clients and quickly win new business? If so, Deirdre is the keynote speaker for your next event!

See, consumers today are not choosing products and services based solely on quality, credentials, and experience; those are expected. Instead, they’re choosing to work with sales professionals based on how that professional makes them FEEL.

That’s why if your entrepreneurs and sales professionals want an edge (especially with Boomer females, Millennials, and GZ), they’ll want to communicate in a way that demonstrates Emotional Intelligence (EQ).

One powerful way to show Emotional Intelligence, is by leveraging a specific storytelling strategy- -a “Personal Brand Why Story “. When your team learns how package and share this story in a way that’s meaningful for their ideal clients, they’ll accelerate trust AND buy-in.

In this interactive presentation your entrepreneurs and sales professionals will:

  • Understand why after hearing their “Personal Brand WHY Story”, their ideal clients could be in a room full of their competitors and will still make a beeline for them!

  • Experience first-hand how telling their “Personal Brand WHY Story” will increase trust, connection, and likeability in 3 minutes or less.

  • Discover why humanizing themselves is critical to the future of their business.

  • Discover how top producers are using their stories to attract clients and get to the “YES!” quicker.

Stand Out and Own the Room Every Time You Speak!

It’s no longer enough to be the smartest or most skilled professional in the room. We are in the Communication Age. This means when speaking to groups, whether it’s for 1 minute or 1 hour, people will make judgments about competency based on speaking skills. So…If you have A+ professionals, with a B- SPEAKING SKILLS, you have a problem.

When this happens, you and your team lose credibility, business, and the ability to impact more lives. The good news keynote speaker, Deirdre Van Nest, will teach them how to be both; A+ professionals and A+ Speakers!

In this presentation your team will:

  • Learn why many professionals aren’t satisfied with the results they get from speaking, and what they can do to increase buy-in and knock it out of the park every time they speak.

  • Discover the mistake almost every professional makes when they open a presentation. This mistake bores their audience and reduces their influence and impact.

  • Walk out with the key strategy for grabbing their audience from the first words out of their mouth. Let’s face it if they don’t know how to get peoples’ attention off their phones and onto them, their talk is toast. Master this one technique and they will know how exactly how to command the attention of any audience.

How to Attract Top Talent and Create a Connected Culture in this Remote/Hybrid World

When it comes to attracting and retaining talent in this remote/hybrid world, your leaders are in uncharted waters. They’re asking questions like:

  • How do I create a culture that attracts ideal candidates?
  • How do I compete with companies who can pay more and provide better benefits?

  • How do I retain my team when we rarely meet in person?

There are several answers to these questions but the most powerful one is often completely overlooked because it’s counterintuitive and can be scary! That’s right.  The most powerful way to attract and retain a remote/hybrid team is by getting personal. Yup. And it starts with sharing your Personal Brand WHY Story.  This is a story about WHY you care about the clients your serve, and WHY you care about the people you lead.  This story and others like it will keep your team connected and rowing together especially when times are tough.

In this dynamic, real world- -this is NOT theory, keynote speaker, Deirdre Van Nest, has been running a remote business with a remote team since 2010, before “remote” was even a thing – presentation your leaders will discover:

  • Why moving beyond business and getting personal is the “honey” that will attract their ideal candidates.

  • How to get personal in a way that’s appropriate for business (no icky feelings from overshares).

  • Why sharing “Personal Brand WHY Stories” in the workplace is like adding lighter fluid to all their communication channels.

  • Top tips on how and where to share their WHY Story and the benefits of providing a space for their team to do the same.

Whether you have 1 employee or 1000, hiring Deirdre as your keynote speaker will catapult your teams’ ability to attract top talent and to create a more committed and connected culture.
