No Barriers - Only Solutions Program

Neal's keynote is unique in his delivery, carrying a treasure chest on stage - Neal challenges his audience to carry treasures - not baggage. He takes his audience on a journey filled with content they can use everyday. Inside the chest are things symbolic to Neal's success in overcoming his insurmountable barriers and challenges the audience to think about their treasure -what they have in experience to aid in planning for a successful future.

Halfway through the presentation Neal shows actual footage of rounding Cape Horn - solo. A very powerful video showing Neal living his life long dream - his "Mt Everest".. Now what's next? How do you go forward once you have achieved your "Mt Everest".

Our goal is to be a part of your conference to assist meeting planners in generating maximum results for their audience. At no additional fee - Neal is willing to do in-house welcome videos, book-signings, lunches, receptions, awards, media appearances, executive breakfasts and any special requests you may have to maximize audience impact - just ask!

Neal was rated the best speaker ever at IBM's Global STGU Conference. After Neal's opening keynote to 8,000 attendees, Neal sold and personalized over 1,000 copies of his award winning autobiography, Journey of a Hope Merchant, with a solid line out the door for six hours! Unscheduled, but willing, Neal was asked to be on a plane three days later to open the sister conference in Europe to another 5,000 attendees. It was history at IBM.

Neal's keynote becomes the talk of every event. Audiences walk away with a renewed attitude that anything is possible - "There are No Barriers - Only Solutions!"

Meal with Neal

A Skippers Briefing following the keynote - to a select group of executives (14 or less is most effective) that have heard the keynote. This is a very effective and sought after tool that provides the vehicle for drawing from the group what they learnt from the keynote and how will they implement it  it is not about Neal  it is about Neal challenging them and pushing them to think outside the box. Neal never comes to the meal with an agenda ~ the agenda creates itself with the questions asked by the guests. The group will learn to be more creative in problem solving their daily challenges and how they will implement what they learned from the keynote into their everyday activities.
