A keynote that helps your people influence without authority.
Your teams move faster. Your best people stay.
Jeremy Vaughn Clark | Keynote Speaker for Corporate Teams
When people wait for permission, work slows and your best people leave.
Good ideas go unsaid.
Small problems wait for someone in charge.
Your strongest people get tired of waiting.
You can’t push engagement from the top down.
It grows when people learn to lead from where they sit.
Meet Jeremy Vaughn Clark
I know what it costs to wait.
I used to believe good work would speak for itself. Then the pandemic hit, and I lost my hard-earned HR position.
I rebuilt by learning to use my voice. That voice helped me build a speaking career and return to HR at the management level.
Now I help teams do what I had to learn the hard way, using my RISEpoint Shift Framework™: Spot It. Spark It. Show It.
I’ve sat where your people sit, and where you sit, so I know what you’re up against.
Three steps to get your team Moving
1. Tell me about your team or event.
We talk through what you’re seeing
and what you need most.
2. I speak to your people.
Everyone leaves with one clear step
to take by Monday.
3. See the follow-through.
About 30 days later, we ask one question:
“Did you take the step?”
You get the answers.
Picture your team when people lead from where they Sit
Good ideas get shared.
People bring ideas forward without waiting to be asked.
Work keeps moving.
Small problems get handled before they grow.
Your best people
stay engaged.
They can see that their voice matters, which gives them one more reason to stay.
This keynote fits leadership retreats, all-hands meetings, employee engagement events, and HR, L&D, and leadership development conferences.
