When I hired you to come speak for us I had high expectations from what I’d heard from other P&G colleagues that had heard you speak. You smashed the ceiling of every expectation I had. I’ve never seen this group that fired up. Everyone is still talking about the Frisbee focus exercise and bouncing the superballs that you gave them. My only dilemma is finding a speaker for next year that can come anywhere close to your presentation. It will not be forgotten!

Keynote by Nikki Stone: The Art of The Adapting to Change & Adversity Comeback

The Strategies and Secrets to Resilience, Revival and Renewal

The people who have risen to the top and stayed at the top have world-class resilience. People with a vision and desire can overcome everyday challenges, just like when Champions overcome changing situations. We all possess the ability to be resilient and overcome life's challenges when we have the proper tools.

Nikki did four things that anybody can learn to do:

Develop a clear vision and focus on our goals

Promote persistence in a path to reaching these goals

Maintain the Never-Give-Up spirit and attitude of a winner.

Create a plan that included a team of supporters.

Just 18 months before the Olympic Games, more than 10 doctors told Nikki she should quit and never ski again. If she did, she risked permanent spinal damage and much worse. With her four-step plan she overcame her challenges and won America’s first gold medal in aerial skiing.

In this highly acclaimed program, Nikki gives everyone the insider, behind the scenes story and her clear strategies for success. Your personal leadership plan includes a clear vision and focus, path to persistency, a winning attitude and a strong team. She has learned that we need to determine where we are going and why it matters. Nikki expresses the importance of setting the attitudes, mindsets, policies, practices and expectations for the culture of discipline.

Experience the remarkable story of overcoming life threatening injuries to achieving the lifelong dream of winning the coveted Olympic gold medal. You will remember and relate to the extraordinary journey of a young athlete hitting rock bottom and learning the essential revival skills and mindset to catapult her beyond what anyone thought imaginable. Gain inspiration from the uplifting ascent of true heartache to explosive passion and pride.

Olympic champions have mastered world-class resilience. You can learn these skills from a champion that was virtually counted out by everyone. These strategies and hands-on activities will assist you and your people to use your collective knowledge to change your way of looking at the world. Realizing this strong, rational optimism and the can-do Olympic Spirit that is inside each of us, you will find that your potential is limitless.

Keynote by Nikki Stone: Building a Winning Team

How To Create a Results-Driven Team With Purpose, Focus and Balanced Leadership

The U.S. Team has always been a force to be reckoned with at the Olympic Games. They have become a robust powerhouse because they have learned a clear understanding of developing strong communication, conflict resolution, trusty leaders, mutual compassion, cooperative goals and compelling buy-in. These are the same skills that make a powerful AND proud business entity.

It is essential to figure out the ties and communication that will give everyone their greatest support and produce the strongest collective results. Just like employees in a business or organization, Nikki understands that an individual sport athlete sets personal goals but it takes everyone to help us succeed and the awards are won for the team.

Let Nikki help your team:

Discover a unique way of leading and following so it becomes a collaborative effort with strong communication between departments

Gain the ability to identify with those whom you are responsible

Helping others to better understand your vision

Finding ways to bring out the best in those your work with

Understanding and melding diverse backgrounds and talents to produce a more creative solution

Build a great level of trust and understanding with coworkers

Create a path forward where everyone has buy-in

Learn to respect people’s differences and use them to your advantage

Identify other’s strengths and weaknesses to contribute to the group’s overall success

Learn how to give and receive constructive criticism

Nikki’s program highlights the need for personal goals and milestones in order to drive the success of an organization. Every individual on the team needs to feel and recognize their own strengths to help contribute to the team. But there needs to be an understanding of how these individual components fit together to develop a powerful organization in which they want to take ownership.

Nikki will help you develop the skills to build a stronger group or company through trust, support and understanding in order to produce a team that is both productive and gratified.

Customer Reviews

Alan Tomblin Sales Manager, North America, Procter & Gamble

I received many, many outstanding comments from staff and members alike. Far more than any other speaker I can remember. The sales team does written evaluations of our meeting and every single person specifically called out your presentation as the highlight of the conference…I also learned that you spent far more time signing books and taking photo’s after your presentation to the members and I even heard you came back after your lunch to finish up a few. Not to mention attending the member dinner with me on Friday night.

Jay Brown VP of Sales & Business Development, Do it Best Corp

I have to thank you for your incredibly inspiring story and the remarkable way that you captivated the audience this past week. I have to admit that I can be a bit of a cynic on how much speakers can really motivate me and what they can truly teach me... BUT you managed to dissolve all that skepticism. You not only eloquently related your phenomenal story, but did so in a language that directly impacted our group. I loved the Turtle Effect and the tools (and items) you gave us to ensure that we continued that motivation and success long after the conference adjourned. You were easily the highlight of the conference and your presentation helped bring out the best of the other information we gained.

Chris Williams VP, John Hancock

While I was extremely impressed with the outcome, the best measure of success for me is the feedback from our team. Everyone I have spoken to has been laudatory in their comments, and truly inspired by your story and presentation. I was very impressed with your dedication to understand our business drivers and the central message of our event, and your ability to translate this into well-timed and very integrated reinforcements of our key themes… Our Team continued to build your message into the rest of the conference.

Paul Ellner Western Regional General Manager, HSBC

I loved hearing from you. I am a serious Olympics fan, so the theme caught my attention immediately. I really get caught up in the emotion and competition that comes from the games. I was very impressed by your speech and the way that you brought American Express and our Blue Box values into your talking points.

Valerie Iorg American Express

Your moving story of dedication, commitment, and the will to triumph over adversity was extremely inspirational… Your willingness to share your Olympic gold medal with the group and get your picture taken with everyone was also most appreciated. We couldn’t have asked for a more professional, motivational, or friendly Olympian to work with and we were proud to have you as part of the Delta team.

Kelly Sartin Manager, Olympic Marketing, Delta

Your presentation captured the attention of teenagers across the Wasatch Front, which is no easy task! The goal for the school speaker tour was to motivate today’s youth to never stop reaching for their goals. Your presentation not only motivated the group to keep reaching for their goals, but also to take risks and try new things… Thank you for your professionalism and inspirational story. It was a pleasure and honor to work with you. We will be sure to contact you in the future for additional presentations.

Nancy Gnos Marketing Manager, Pepsi Bottling Group

The trials and tribulations you had to endure to reach your goals really made a profound affect on everyone. Your story really touched many people, as was evident from the tears, laughter and applause. Your message was eloquently stated and the ‘rungs’ (or essential attributes) of your ladder of success will surely be applied by all of us in the workplace and in life.
