Speaking
Engage with a professional well versed in creating experiences that convert human potential into heightened performance.
At Claris Consulting, we make a commitment to achieve each objective with grace and skill. With every speaking engagement you can expect:
Presentation material that is custom tailored to your organization’s needs.
Prior to the event, responses within ninety minutes of your phone calls and within three hours of your emails.
A pre-conference video that integrates your strategic message with the content of the speech. If you allow, an announcement about your event will be posted on the Claris blog and social media channels. (This assumes that your event is open to the public and you want the additional visibility.)
A customized follow up process for your audience. The slides from the presentation will be posted on the Claris website along with articles, videos and additional resources beneficial to your audience.
Four objectives must be met to ensure every event is extraordinary for both you and your audience.
Exceed Your Expectations: You and your audience are discerning. You can smell an off-the-shelf presentation a mile away. Content must be relevant to members of your audience so they think, feel, and know the presentation has been tailored directly for them.
Unlimited Access: Time is precious and timelines are short. To help you be as successful as possible, it is essential to have a pipeline to your speaker prior to your event.
Marketing Assistance: Supporting marketing collateral beyond website and brochure copy to enhance the reach of the event.
Commitment to Learning: Solidify the impact of the learning from your event through follow up touch points that encourage further educational interaction with the audience.
If creating a mindset of passion, innovation, and growth is important to you, let’s talk.
Speaking Topics
Hugh’s most-requested topics include the following. Each can be presented as a keynote or a workshop, as well as a half-day – and in some cases full-day – seminar.
The Talent Alchemist
How to convert human potential into accelerated business results
Every organization has deep reserves of talented people unable to reach their full potential. Not because of inertia, ignorance, incompetence or indifference, but because of unnecessary barriers hiding in plain sight. In this presentation you’ll learn the three essential strategies required to convert human potential into accelerated business results.
Jumping The Curve
How organizations jump from the ordinary to the extraordinary
Organizations are being upended by the digital revolution, and ten-year-old business models are becoming obsolete. In this presentation you’ll learn how successful teams and leaders develop innovative strategies that expand their product and service offerings while also providing customers with extraordinary value.
Mastering Your Mindset
Developing a mindset of passion, growth and innovation
The single greatest factor affecting a leader’s or team’s performance is their mindset…what happens in between their ears. It’s not the corporate strategy, it’s not the compensation plan, nor is it the market segments they’re pursuing. It’s what each leader and team member chooses to focus on, to believe, and to create for themselves and for others. In this session participants will learn how to cultivate the nine essential characteristics of a powerful mindset.
The Strategic Technologist
How to convert technical expertise into enhanced strategic influence
You’re excellent at the technical side of work, but when it comes to the people, relationship and strategy side of work your influence falls off the table like a Sandy Koufax curve ball. In this presentation you’ll learn the seven essential skills of being seen as a profit center to be maximized versus a cost center to be minimized.
The Resiliency Advantage
Converting change and uncertainty from a long slow slog through enemy territory into an extraordinary life
Living in today’s world of work is not for the faint of heart. We are hyper connected, are given increasingly higher expectations with fewer resources, and are told to do more better, faster and cheaper. In this presentation you will learn the eights steps necessary for living an extraordinary life.
Transformational Leadership
Creating a culture where the extraordinary is commonplace
Innovative technologies, global competition, diminished resources and a heightened war for talent have transformed the world of work. What remains to be transformed is the leadership responsible for navigating these changes. In this presentation, leaders will learn the seven principles used by successful organizations to transform their leadership, their culture and their business results in extraordinary ways.
