SPEECH
TOPICS:
How to Become a Born Leader Bosses are a dime a dozen; leaders are priceless. A genuine leader inspires team members to want to do their work. Employees follow true leaders out of respect and admiration. They work out of a sense of shared ownership of goals and passion for the fulfillment of a noble mission. Learn the keys to climbing the “Leadership Pyramid” through six distinct stages!
Positively Magical Service! Today’s market is more highly competitive than ever before. But successful businesses know that the most effective and least expensive way to distinguish their company from the competition is to provide mind-boggling customer service. World-class magician and funny motivational speaker Billy Riggs, exposes the five grand illusions that prevent you and your staff from serving your customers in a way that keeps them coming back again and again!
The Power of a P.M.A. (Positively Magical Attitude) The single most important factor in success is attitude. A positive attitude directly impacts the bottom line because it improves performance, reduces turnover, and decreases absenteeism. Best of all, a fabulous attitude is contagious. Help your staff embrace change with a smile, adjust to hardship with optimism, and strive to be their best each and every day by experiencing the “Magic of Attitude”!
How to Achieve the Impossible! Extraordinary success is the result of extraordinary leadership. In this powerful presentation, magician and funny leadership speaker Billy Riggs impresses leaders and managers with the core beliefs held by all remarkably successful leaders, and shatters the illusions that limit growth. This presentation is perfect for leadership or board training and is entertaining, motivational and highly practical.
Positively Magical Selling Effective selling is the result of accurate beliefs – beliefs about the marketplace, the client, and yourself. Consequently, your greatest obstacles to stratospheric sales success are your illusions, faulty beliefs that lurk in the subconscious mind to lower self-confidence, undermine motivation, and reduce closing ratios. In this fascinating combination of classic magic, humor, and education, world-class illusionist Billy Riggs helps eliminate these psychological glass ceilings, propelling your sales force to higher sales and greater satisfaction.
The Magic of Education The staff and faculty of exemplary schools hold a set of core beliefs in common – beliefs about students, learning, work and themselves. Internalizing these beliefs, then, is essential to effective education. By formulating, nurturing and communicating the proper belief system, you can quickly drive your classroom, school or district to exemplary status. In this hilarious, but provocative combination of magic, message and motivation, Billy Riggs demolishes the debilitating myths that render schools ineffective, and identifies the cardinal realities of education. Custodians, teachers, office staff and administrators will be moved to tears by inspiring stories and leave with sore cheeks from laughing so much!
The Magic of Teamwork The DiSC™ personality profile represents the gold standard in corporate team-building. When blended with Billy Riggs’ comedic and magical skills, audience participation, and group interaction, the results are hilarious and life-changing. Transform your staff into a team in one fun day! Better yet, Billy follows up the program with weekly emails to your staff to refresh their memories and reinforce lessons learned.
