Speech Topics
Managing to Win
In his charismatic and entertaining style, Joe Theismann draws parallels between his successful career as an NFL quarterback and You – The executive, manager, salesperson, group or individual, with the goal Managing to Win. He knows and understands that good management and effective leadership is not a game of follow the leader: it’s all about PEOPLE – listening to them…trusting them…and motivating individuals to take ownership of team goals.
Game Plan for Success
This dynamic presentation outlines the game plan that brought Joe Theismann success both on and off the football field. Former NFL MVP quarterback and Super Bowl Champion, he reveals his Game Plan for Success by drawing parallels between winning in football and in business. Joe focuses on how to succeed under pressure – when it’s ” 4th and 1”, and how to adapt quickly to unexpected situations when you’re faced with a “blitz” instead of a zone. He urges individuals and organizations to set goals and correct errors each step of the way, an approach that builds momentum…which once on your side, would be hard for the best “defense” to stop.
Challenge of Change
Drawing from personal experience, Joe Theismann knows how to deal with the Challenge of Change. On November 18, 1985, he was on top of his game -a two-time Pro Bowl player and the most productive quarterback in the history of the Washington Redskins. Later that evening, he found himself in a hospital bed with a compound fracture to his leg, shattering both his career and his boyhood dream. At age thirty-five, he was faced with starting over his personal life and professional career. In this stirring presentation, individuals and organizations learn how to tackle change by keeping a positive mental outlook and committing to a vision that guides you to the top.
Reviews
Joe was an amazing speaker and was the most cordial keynote we have had during the additional event engagements including a VIP Meet and Greet with our top clients.
Joe did an outstanding job and our staff was still buzzing about his presentation 48 hours later. Joe hit home on all the key points of our organization and would recommend him to any group to speak to. He is truly one of the greatest individual I’ve met through the years and most easy going guys to talk to in a short time of meeting him.
