"One of the best presentations on Ethics we've ever had at a Florida Association of Counties convention." Stan McClain

"We've received lots of great feedback and many people have said that it was our best ethics meeting yet!" Katie Donovan-Loaisiga - Bealls, Inc.

"Riveting - from the minute Chuck walked into the room - in an orange prison jumpsuit - he held the audience in awe. What a message! I heard Chuck speak on ethics at the North Dakota Long Term Care Assoc. , but the message he shared is universal - all organizations could benefit from hearing the impact of poor judgement and poor ethical decisions." Jamie Stamey

"During my career, I have literally planned and listened to hundreds of presentations. Your presentation at our February 2015 meeting ranks among the top I have ever heard, period, on this or any other topic.

We were impressed with your energy, in-depth understanding and focus on the topic of "Ethics." That topic can be deadly dull. Instead, you turned it into a thought-provoking, high-impact, highly personal message that our attendees can use in both their professional and personal lives." Alysia English

Award-winning TV personality Michael Wigge has specialized in incredible challenge stories, e.g. ‘How to Travel the World for Free’, ‘How to Barter for Paradise’ (where he turned an apple into a Hawaiian dream house just by bartering for bigger, better things) and ‘How to Travel 2000 Miles on a Razor Scooter in 80 Days’. He recently shared his amazing success stories on the Tonight Show with Jay Leno and Katy Perry and also on the Today Show. His TV programs and books have been broadcasted and published internationally in several countries.


Leadership, Ethics


How to Live Dreams and Reach Goals


In this speech I share my experiences about my breathtaking PBS challenges, 'How to Travel the World for Free & 'How to Barter for Paradise', followed by an international media success like the guest invitation to the Tonight Show.

With the background of these 'dream stories' I present my ten-steps-strategy how dreams and goals can easily be fulfilled by taking responsibility for them, through hard work and clear structures.Work can become passion after the initial spark of desire for success. The key question: what exactly is the goal? It sounds almost as a matter of course, but practically aims are often rough and unspecific. The more detailed and precise personal objectives are expressed, more chances open up to hit the target completely satisfied. I feel confident that nerds bring their dreams to real life more easily than others. The reason is simple: ambition and discipline.

My speech conclusion is simple: The sky is the limit for all of us as long we take responsibility!www.speaking.michaelwigge.com

Q7: Please list three (3) learning objectives or "take-aways" from your presentation.1. success is possible for all of us2. results in the outside world are our own

Implicit Bias: Implications and Barriers to Talent Management


Implicit bias is an automatic and unconscious process. People engaged in this unconscious form of discrimination are unaware that they do it. Scientists have learned that 90 to 95% of our decision-making process occurs at the unconscious level. Therefore, how often are the decisions to hire, promote, or resolve conflict between staff influenced by the unconscious mind? More than 85% of Americans consider themselves as not prejudiced. Yet, researchers conclude that most people hold some degree of implicit bias or prejudice. Implicit bias does not mean people are hiding their prejudices. They literally do not know they have them.

Financial & Contract Management


Sponsorship Development for Conferences and Meetings


Conference budgets continue to create challenges for effective management and orchestration. Partnerships from associated government agencies, corporate entities, non-profit organizations, and private individuals and affiliations who are passionate about the program provide financial assistance that is critical to program operation. Marketing and community partnership value plays a key role in the collaboration process and the proper development and commitment to these partnerships will enhance the prospect of long-term, enduring relationships. This session addresses methodologies and best practices that ensure these partnerships and commitments which can enhance content and professional development for attendees.

Q7: Please list three (3) learning objectives or "take-aways" from your presentation.1. Identify Partnerships and Funding Sources2. Build Marketing and Professional Value for

Partners and Sponsors3. Learn how to Improve Attendance through

Collaborative Outreach




Classroom is perfect.






I have presented this program to the Arizona Chapter of SGMP in 2014 as well as the Meetings and Conference Curriculum Students at Arizona State University. I will also be presenting this session at the Arizona Small Business Association in August, 2015. The PowerPoint presentation is thorough and complete, and it gives a realistic approach to identifying and soliciting funding sources and partnerships so critical to conference management.

Funding and financing conferences has become the greatest challenge, particularly in light of the recent recession, shrinking budgets, state government budget deficits, and scrutiny over the need for conferences. Joining forces among multiple stakeholders allows greater community outreach, better marketing, increased attendance, professional career development and networking, and a unified message across multiple stakeholder organizations so that the information is standardized and substantiated across various agencies, essentially putting everyone "on the same page."

Without funding sources to off-set operational costs, the registration costs to individuals or their agencies or departments will continue to increase as venue and vendor costs increase, speaker honoraria and related travel costs increase, and so forth. A conference cannot be developed, managed, and orchestrated without proper funding.

As a professional member of the National Speakers Association I have worked with many meeting planners. I have pitched in before sessions, learned about many of the challenges and triumphs involved with your job and appreciate the effort put in to make an event rock!

Like you, my goal is to always exceed expectations! This highly energy interactive topic includes an activity called Brainwriting.

Brain Writing allows ideas to flow and knowledge to increase at a faster rate.This interactive activity serves several purposes. Today’s breakout sessions must be more than informative and educational to give your members the takeaways they can use at work and in their personal lives.All I need is an easel, 4 different color magic markers and a piece of paper for each participant.I’ll ask a question. It might be- “What are some of the ways you deal with different generations and cultures at work?”You have three minutes to write down any ideas that come to mind. Funny, serious, or practical. We than pass our papers to the left and repeat for two minutes. And then once more to the left for two minutes.Attendees are engaged, having fun, moving around and even laughing.We collect the papers, I have two people who I’ve asked earlier to write down the answers on the easel.Each person gets three different color dots to place on the three ideas that resonate with them the most. Then, we look at the ideas with the most dots and discuss.Because this is interactive and anonymous everyone’s opinions are heard! Lots of great information and because were writing, thinking and seeing it soaks into the conscious easier!

Will be working in teams of 6 people. Need a separate table for each team.






I choose the leaders of the teams just prior to the session and I coach them to lead with one of the three styles.

My session is based on discovery learning. I open with a very brief lecture about the differences between leaders and managers. and then off we go into teams building a structure out of pins and straws. From the teams, I then gather data on what it was like to work under each style of leader, etc. People see for themselves the impact of leader style! If like prior sessions, very wild and fun!

My demo video may also be viewed at www.kentraderspeaks.com. If you would like a free copy of my stress reduction book titled Let It Go, Just Let It Go, please feel free to contact me and I will put one in the mail to you.

I am the closing keynote speaker for the Iowa Municipal Finance Officers Conference in October 2015 and just did my second engagements for the Texas Rural Chief Appraisers Association, Missouri Rural Water Association, and the Missouri Public Purchasing Agent's. I have done three engagements for the Missouri Veterans Homes Conference and have been a keynote for the Washington Association of County Treasurers', Oklahoma Rural Water Association Conference, the Kansas Rural Water Association, Oklahoma Healthy Families Conference, the Texas Department of Aging and Disabilities, Minnesota Rural Water Association, Arizona Work Comp Claims Conference, Pennsylvania Housing Authority, Missouri Public Procurement Association, Colorado Public Risk Managers Association, Maryland Health Care Risk Managers, the Texas Society of Government Meeting Professionals, United States Environmental Protection Agency, VA Medical Center-Fayetteville, AR, Missouri National Guard, Travis AFB Air Mobility Wing, Missouri Municipal League, Texas Forest Service, Missouri County Commissioners Association, Iowa County Engineers, the Missouri County Collectors Association, and the Oklahoma Certified Public Managers Conference.

Dru Bradford of the Oklahoma Certified Public Managers commented after my closing keynote:

"Kent Rader was our conference's afternoon keynote and as usual the attendees were looking a bit tired at the end of the long day. Once Kent began to talk, the room became electrified. Throughout Kent's presentation, the attendees squealed with laughter! And that includes grown men. At the end, there was so much positive energy in the room I could hardly recognize it. It was truly a transformative event - not only because of the humor Kent shared, but also because the attendees recognized that the wisdom Ken shared from his management experience could be applied to everyone's everyday work and family lives."

Randy Norton of the Missouri Rural Water Association had the following to say regarding my keynote at their 2012 Convention:

"Kent, your keynote was absolutely wonderful! In fact, this was the first time I had so much gushing coming from our attendees regarding our keynote! Your presentation was thoughtful AND funny! You were more of an entertainment hit than all the previous standup comedians I've hired for entertainment, yet you were our KEYNOTE! A keynote that left a personal imprint and food for thought that was at an entertainment level. Absolutely, you have found where you are suppose to be."

I just completed the opening keynote for the Minnesota Rural Water Association and Ruth Hubbard sent me the following:

"Thank you so much for your presentation. Your presentation was excellent. Very fitting and humorous for our attendees. I'd definitely recommend you to other state associations!"

The mock trial format is highly engaging and interactive. The session at the 2014 NEC was very well received; attendees were very engaged in their jury deliberations.

If selected, it would be helpful if the session description was included in the program, not just the learning objectives. I think the audience at the 2014 NEC presentation might have been larger if people had been aware of the interactive format.

The title is longer than 40 characters. If it needs to be shortened to 40 characters, please use the following: A Case of Personal Injury and Liability.

If selected, I request that the honoraria be paid to MiSGMP, as was done for 2015 NEC presentation.

You have brought together the best possible talent - highly skilled individuals but who now must operate as a team. As company surveys have shown, having employees that value teamwork and demonstrate effective “soft” skills are among the top profitability issues for companies. In this session, Jason Van Archer will present on how Improv theater skills can draw in, draw out and draw together your high performers to achieve new heights in innovation and maximum results for your company’s/organization’s performance. This presentation will include inspirational and entertaining stories on team success, the history and development of modern improv and the tools used to bring individuals together as one unit.There might even be some Improv games...

Q7: Please list three (3) learning objectives or "take-aways" from your presentation.1. Determining, developing and practicing the

skills of attention, acceptance and supportin a workplace team setting.

2. Better serve others by understanding theirstrengths and weaknesses of those withwhich we interact.

3. Assist each other in a positive environmentwhich will strengthen membership andmeetings.




More interactive, if can be at round tables.we can "play" improv games at round tables with as large of group as necessary.






Studies reveal, poor Soft skills top the list for business underperformance and failure- above financing, above incentives and above market forces- from the shop floor to the C-suite- it takes specialty training, to learn to work together.

Improv training is inclusive, fun and energetic- it can change how individuals relate to each other though "games" and "skill set" workshops.

Not only could I do a large meeting room presentation, I would love to do a (or multiple) 50 minute workshops for smaller groups, if there is an interest.

The CTR Factor: How High Is Your Leadership Quotient

172 / 354



This presentation by Suri Surinder is based on one provocative premise, one radical realization: Leadership is a science.

Like all scientific constructs, leadsership can be modeled methodically, assessed systematically, replicated reliably and demonstrated universally. It is governed by a simple but powerful equation that can predict with accuracy and consistency how effective people are at leading. Leadership Quotient (LQ) can be measured just as reliably and predictably as Intelligence Quotient (IQ) and Emotional Quotient (EQ).

There are many interpretations of this inherently fuzzy and amorphous topic, but by the end of this talk you may become a believer in Leadership Quotient and the science of leadership.

Q7: Please list three (3) learning objectives or "take-aways" from your presentation.1. Attendees will learn how to win followers'

hearts and minds by earning 3 currenciesof influence (Credibility, Trust, Respect)

Leadership


Commit to Community Enablement


Stepping into a leadership role begins with acknowledging our innate talent and developing the story behind it into our personal brand. This is the basis for in-person and online communication. It is the sharing of our personal story and honest recounting of how we overcame hardships, plus our best learned insights that attract our desired clientele. By working to the benefit of individuals and communities we build wider audiences and global recognition. The feeling of true reward is found in serving others. The by-product is being seen as the leader.

Q7: Please list three (3) learning objectives or "take-aways" from your presentation.1. Develop a strong and reputable personal

brand2. Learn and apply magnetic communication

to further attract audiences3. Develop a returning and referring clientele

and adopted community.

All of my programs have been previously met with applause and standing ovations given they are seen as inspirational and motivational. My corporate and entrepreneurial stories are described as laugh-out-loud funny while containing meaningful and helpful insight. For these same reasons:1. My first book became an international best-seller2. The second book a best-seller3. Articles appear in prominent magazines eg. Entrepreneur.com, Sales and Service Excellence, and Microsoft's e-book ABC's of Selling.

Questions are asked of the audience throughout, guiding them through the business development pieces of the puzzle they need to know. Business became more complex; knowing just one piece such as marketing doesn't work nearly as well as tying it together with one's personal brand, social media and sales. The combined effort is far more powerful; and building community amplifies the effort.

Mining the GOLD in Your Team


What is gold to you? Maybe it's results, goals or accomplishments. Maybe it's human capital, ideas for innovation or retention. Maybe it's getting people to read your emails. To achieve the gold, you are going to have to work with others.

Identifying a team, building a team, relying on a team takes time, energy, consistency, and often a sense of humor. It takes old-school and new world communication. It takes listening skills. It takes treating people the way they want to be treated. WOW! This is beginning to sound like work.

But it doesn't have to be as hard as we make it. Building relationships with those who impact your success will bridge the gap between generations, cultures and expectations. It will lessen the stress of tasks, reports and contracts. And those relationships will bring ideas, excitement and talent to your projects.

Those who help with meeting logistics from either the planner or vendor side are stuck in the same place in how they do meetings. In this session, I use techniques that can be taken from the session to their own workplaces to expand thinking about how to rethink meetings.

Each “dot” connects to changing demographics, risks and contingency issues, transportation, core-competencies, and others. • What will the meetings/hospitality/tourism industry look like in the future?• What core competencies will be needed to remain in or move into the industry?• What dots will you have to connect to get to the future – for yourself, your employer, your clients, and the industry?

Recommended reading to stimulate thinking for the session: The Futurist from the World Future Society (www.wfs.org), “A Whole New Mind” by Daniel Pink, other reading you choose, and if you have or can obtain a copy, “Hospitality 2010: The Future of Hospitality and Travel.”

Ethics


Choices Define You


I tell stories of four important people in my life who made tough choices that lead me to become a man who wants to help others. Each story builds as each person helped me achieve a level of understanding showing me how my choices and actions define my life. These four people include a family member, a high school teacher, and two college professors. Out of care, compassion, curiosity, and respect, these people provided me with choices leading me away from a destructive path. My own choices steered me to the path leading to returning the favor these four individuals gave me as I teach care, compassion, curiosity and respect. Throughout this talk I weave in audience participation activities and my father’s advice that took me years to understand: “People will remember us by our choices and actions.”

Leader as Coach: Moving Your Team to Winning Results


Business leaders often draw their motivation from inspiring coaches. Great coaches have the ability to push their teams beyond what they think possible to achieve winning results. Coaches hold players accountable – win or lose. Many managers struggle with holding people accountable -- resulting in awkward conversations and a tense work environment. Employees who clearly understand expectations, and know they’re accountable, enjoy a higher level of job satisfaction, stay longer, and produce better results.

The Generational Rumble!


This incredibly powerful and popular session starts in an engaging way that immediately encourages all participants to let down their guard. I play “Let’s Get Ready to Rumble!” while I introduce the panelists: two attendees from each of the current generations (Boomer, Gen X, and Gen Y), who each run up to the stage like boxers entering the ring.

We then settle into our candid discussion about issues selected right from the audience members themselves via an anonymous poll.

Round tables if possible please and a table with Podium - and flip chart paper that sticks but won't damage the walls.






I have had the pleasure of working with the Sacramento SGMP Chapter in the past and we have another session scheduled together this fall. I always emphasize INTERACTION and putting a dash of creativity in the sessions I do for groups I work with! Life is not too short to have fun and I will bring some fun items to make this an enjoyable and ENGAGING session for everyone! I am a visual practitioner and incorporate doodling (no art skills needed) into my work.

Knowing the challenges meeting professionals have in making everyone happy - and especially those professionals that work with government agencies - it is really important to exercise self care to develop good emotional boundaries in work and life.

More importantly, how would they rate us?Studies prove that most of us want, need, and expect integrity from those with whom we do business. Then, what about those who do business with us? Do we always reciprocate that expectation? This session addresses the bottom-line answers to those concerns, while also sharing insights from respected leaders regarding the ethical challenges that we all confront in our workplaces.
