Topic: Leadership

Title: “StepUp To The Plate”

Stepping up to the plate is when the batter enters the zone at the height of focus, a plan is in place to succeed. The drive, desire, determination to win, and the outcome is up to him. StepUp To The Plate is about leaders taking responsibility for results and the desired outcome. That’s what leaders do! In business, it might be the results of a project or event for which responsibility must be taken. The outcome rest on him or her and there is no one else to blame for lack of success.

• And many more!

Jim will work with each group to determine which bullet points work for their group, team or organization. This keynote clarifies what it takes to succeed in leadership at the higher levels.

Topic: Teamwork

Title: “The Winning LineUp”

When a manager makes out a starting lineup before the game, he has carefully selected the players he believes will be the best at “working together in their skill set at each position” in order to have an advantage over the other team. There is no other sport that lends itself to understanding a team’s organization and the best working characteristics of a team than baseball. Nine positions bring different skill sets, different personalities, and different tenure all working side by side with one goal in mind, to win. When the cooperation of the team is needed to succeed, this keynote is a must. Having played on championship teams and worked in the corporate sports environment for winning organizations, Jim’s entertaining talk brings the importance of team to a new level.
