Looking for speaker - Upcoming company planning conference with quality theme

[andahazy]

I am looking for a professional speaker for an upcoming company planning conference with the theme of quality. I need someone who can EXCITE professional folks (e.g., finance, customer service, planning) about quality and INTRIGUE them into wanting more.

Any suggestions?

Got a budget and timetable? I LOVE to talk about Quality, especially Quality Strategy and how it fits into every nook and cranny of an organization. I do keynotes, workshops, magic, games, whatever it takes to make sure everyone has some FUN while learning. I have been giving platform presentations in front of audiences ranging from one to several thousand since 1970, and have performed on radio and TV.

Steve Prevette bills himself as a passionate statistician. I'm passionate about Quality and I infect a lot of people with that passion.

Contact me through my Profile. Take a look at this thread Wes Bucey offers service as "Strategy Advisor" - Seeking Case Studies for Book - perhaps we could even have an arrangement with your organization for follow-through as a case study for my book.

andahazy, I think Wes would be a good candidate. He's pretty entertaining here.

In my case, it may be fourteen veils!

Have Red Beads, Will Travel.

I've done the Red Bead Experiment at a number of venues, including a Washington State Department of Transportation quality conference with 350 in attendance. I "fired" the Secretary of Transportation as a below average worker

I have about 8 hours of other materials "in the can" which I have presented in the past.

Drop me a note (steven_s_prevette@rl.gov) or call (509-373-9371) if you are interested.

First off, welcome to the Cove, andahazy.

I know that this will sound crazy, but what about your own President of the Company? Nothing against Wes or Steve, but your President who knows your company, knows your Customers, knows your Employees...knows your Stakeholders. S/He is your Leader...can s/he not excite and intrigue your employees?
