Today’s guest helps people get back to the basics of relationships that lead to better opportunities and sales. Having worked as a keynote speaker and professional master of ceremonies for the last ten years, he is an advocate for creating strong experiences for conference attendees. He has authored twelve books on the power of business relationships, sales, networking, presentation skills, and entrepreneurship and has earned the prestigious Certified Speaking Professional (CSP) designation conferred by the National Speakers Association.

Please join me in welcoming Thom Singer, CSP. In this episode we discuss: his thoughts on leadership: “Leadership really means being present, having a vision, and helping the team get across whatever the gap is.” how he didn’t necessarily feel like he had the confidence to be a leader as a kid but still found himself stepping up when it was needed. his experience with game shows, starting in second grade. how he has placed himself in the path of luck and been on many adventures because of it. his hobby of speaking at open mic night at comedy clubs and how that has helped him in his professional speaking career. his proactive method for connecting with people.
