What do you look for in a motivational speaker?

No doubt you are looking for a great speaker with a message that inspires, motivates and unleashes renewed focus and performance.

Zen had a near-death experience as a teenager that changed his life, weathered -77 below zero life-threatening circumstances only to be committed and then restored his self-confidence to host a television show. He then crafted and delivered a live metaphor for transformation to several hundred at a time - from shaking on the inside so bad that his body shook to standing and delivering.

Zen can craft a presentation to fit your need. Unlike many 'in the can' motivational speakers, he uses 'canned' material that engages and inspires your people with uncanny results in how he connects challenge and change. Presentations empower audiences to find the passion in what they are doing and embrace the joy that has always been there. The focus is on stakeholder involvement, customer service, collaborative teams and communication.

Zen's personal and professional experience has garnered a vocabulary spanning many industries and vocations; great tools for creating humorous anecdotes. His favorite 'turn on' is to share his story of transformation from orphan to pseudo-celebrity status and the trials and tribulations one has in life as part of the process of success. Using real-world examples and out-of-this-world poignant pieces, he keeps the audience enthralled and leave them inspired to conspire creatively together.

If you are looking for something 'out of the box to address change management or communication protocols,' you've found a great gem. Zen's lead many teams to success as a visioneer and workaholic, so I know how to motivate communication and performance.

"I can peel the layers of the onion, point out the natural bottlenecks in the system and incorporate systems thinking into the learning organization seeking excellence. I've been in the trenches of aerospace manufacturing production to social services, so I can address motivations and solutions from many levels. I use a lot of corny wisdom, silly witticisms and general wisecracks to depersonalize and depressurize the need for growth, facilitating a flow toward transformation."

Here's an older example of unveiling, an archive of the move to the stage for posterity . Admittedly, I was much younger then, but I never grew up.

Zen's CV

Testimonials

Zen has many gifts to offer organizations, two of which are his endless optimism and his 'out of the box' thinking. His contribution was rated as one of the most effective sections of our annual planning meeting overall. KC Miller, Founder/Director, Southwest Institute of Healing Arts, kc@swiha.net

Usually a speaker's message can be lost using media production due to distraction. Your use of media and connecting in a kinetic way as well as visual format made the audience come up to your "fence." - Zoe

Zen spoke from the heart; was honest & impressive in his presentation, used visual & audio aides in reminding us of who we really are, creating from his own life experiences. - Barbara R

...am always impressed by his abilities to communicate in ways that assist others to understand whatever the topic he is intending to communicate. He is a natural facilitator, bringing together people and ideas in a cohesive manner that supports their effectuation.
