What 18 Symbols On Your Car's Dashboard Mean!

Michael Carlton, DTM/BPP

30-45 min. Locknote

Speech Title:

Don't be an Asshole!

Description:

As active members of society, we do our best to run through our routines and tasks smoothly. We work hard to serve our own best interests while being mindful of other members of our community, surroundings, or environment. Although, despite our best efforts, there are frequently obstacles or situations that interrupt our flow, caused by individuals that inadvertently, or sometimes intentionally, create the disruption.

These individuals fit into a specific class of citizen, and they are given many labels. I'm sure every one of us here had used some colorful terms to describe these folks, either in the moment, or to describe a frequent offender.

Over the last few decades, diversity, equality, and inclusion have become important elements in our society, and for good reason. America is the land of opportunity, and made up from people very different mindsets, customs, habits, ideas, and skillsets, collaboration, and contributing to this great nation. Eliminating our unconscious bias for someone's looks, gender, preferences, origin, and history is a good and healthy goal. For the individuals that create issues and disruptions through negative actions to a positive society, they fit into a different category: We typically call them "Ass Holes!"

Tonight, Michael will present a workshop on events we have all experienced and maybe inadvertently caused. This idea was sparked during his round one "Speaker Biz" course and highly encouraged by the course instructor, Vitalia (blame her, not me!)

Learning Objectives: N/A

Brief Bio:

After 24 years in the auto industry, Michael sought out new opportunities in 2015, which lead him into the insurance industry. This transition allowed him the independence of self-employment and the flexibility required to be a single parent. His experience in the auto industry as a collision technician, auto mechanic, salesman, and manager, gives him unique experience in his new industry, especially during the claims process.

PowerTalk Pizza Panel Program

Michael Carlton, DTM/BPP

Panel Speaker #1

Speech Title:

Sales Success From Effective Communication!

Description:

There are so many challenges in business: staffing, supply chain delays, and rising costs are what we hear the most about lately. Other common factors are inflation, trends, technology, logistics, and the supply & demand curve. As business owners we pay close attention to these

challenges to prepare and overcome them, commonly with great success. Although even when businesses overcome them and create the perfect business environment, they sometimes still come up short of their goals and close the

deals due to the most challenging element in business: communication.

In this workshop, Michael will share effective tools and styles he has learned and taught to build the brands he represents, address the needs of buyers, close the deal, and ensure repeat business in the future. Although these tips will sound simple and like common

sense, the real challenge is applying them consistently.

Learning Objectives:

Gathering accurate information
Building rapport quickly
Staying on track
Closing the deal
