Thank you for your interest in our KICK IT IN presentations designed for professional groups, associations, conferences and conventions. Everything from opening keynotes to multiple breakout sessions, KICK IT IN has been successful at "turning on the lightbulbs" and giving participants more than just "something to think about."

What is KICK IT IN?

KICK IT IN is a self-motivational personal leadership presentation. It's all about inspiring your members to motivate themselves so they can KICK IT IN and TAKE THE LEAD! The first part or possible version of this program (anywhere from 30 to 90 minutes in length) is a fast-paced, high energy, entertaining educational presentation that is informationally insightful and inspiringly humorous. This segment of the program can stand by itself as an opening keynote, retreat, conference orientation or KICK off type program. This segment focuses on:
  • Paying attention and responding appropriately to life
  • Positively reinforcing yourself & others
  • The more you put into it, the more you get out of it
  • What you put into it, is what you get out of it.
  • If you're whining, griping & complaining, having a terrible time - maybe that's why!
  • Positive attitude vs. negative attitude, you make the difference
  • Getting involved and cooperatively contributing
  • The discipline of focus and the power of attention
  • Leading by example because you can't lead others until you lead yourself
The second part or possible version of the presentation (anywhere from 45 minutes to all day in length) becomes even more interactive and experientially based. These workshop-like sessions can have many activities (group, partner, and individual) customized for your program. Participants are involved with various activities, experiencing an enthusiastic atmosphere, while learning the importance of their individual participation. It's a chance for the individual person to become more aware of their potential, learn the concepts & tools needed to realize that potential (both as an individual & within a group), and to put the tools into use to create positive ACTION!

Here are some of the topic areas these workshop or breakout sessions have covered:

KICK IT IN with MOTIVATION! This presentation deals with inspiring self-motivation in ourselves as well as others. The goal is to understand the many foundational aspects of motivation in creating a sense of internal self-motivation rather than relying on external manipulation - knowing the only true form of motivation is self-motivation.

KICK IT IN with LEADERSHIP! Developing personal leadership in ourselves and others is the key to making things happen. Getting people to do what needs to be done, when it needs to be done, whether they want to do it or not, without being asked - remembering that you can't lead others until you lead yourself.

When's the best time to KICK IT IN?

The first segment of this program works well at any point during the year and for any association event. Certainly there is always a great deal of interest in scheduling it as an opening convention keynote presentation. Perhaps a KICK-off program to get everyone moving in the same direction at workshops, retreats, new member orientations or association meetings.

The workshop-like sessions are super for a keynote follow up, breakout sessions, special meetings, interactive retreat programs and for in-house workshop series. It is also very beneficial for inspiring new ideas within an organization and "upping" the attitude and awareness level of everyone who attends. The entire program has a strong message for anyone. Many variations have been utilized effectively to help everyone KICK IT IN! We especially enjoy customizing and focusing the program to better meet your individual needs.

Association/Convention Program Quotes

As you'll notice, the following quotes are from other people like you who have KICKed IT IN! Their words speak volumes as to the benefits of a program such as the one you are considering:

  "THANK YOU for the excellent presentation you made at the Cross Training. Your style, in which you use humor to make your point was on target for the audience in each of the sessions. Many people have stopped me, since the training, to say how much they enjoyed the training and that they are definitely taking a new approach to work and life in general after hearing your presentation. Change is very difficult for many people. Your presentation was perfect to address this matter."
    Pamela Rourke, Director of the Sullivan Co. Emp. & Training Center, New York

 "The only non-positive comment in the evaluations of Fran's sessions was that the room was crowded! A sampling of comments from Fran's sessions speaks for itself: 'tons of energy and enthusiasm and fun, extremely positive and high energy, it's about time we emphasize the positive, Fran is one of the most dynamic and interesting presenters I have seen' And they go on and on! In addition to his great presentation manner, Fran is easy to work with, flexible and well prepared. He not only talks about leadership and motivation, he walks the talk."
    Russ Simon, Senior Policy Associate for NYATEP, New York

 "Thank you again for the outstanding seminar you recently gave to my sales organization. In my almost ten years with Proctor & Gamble, your seminar was one of the two best training presentations I have attended. My sales organization continues to rave about your seminar. Several employees have commented on your enthusiastic delivery style and enjoyed the many colorful examples you shared."
    Nancy Beam, Operations Manager CSPG Sales, Proctor & Gamble, Ohio
