Nationally Recognized youth speaker Jamahl Keyes Tip: Learn how to educate your at risk student the need for student leadership and character development by telling them the history of Thomas Edison.

Thomas Edison's short stay in the classroom was a disaster. His mother pulled him out and gave him a workshop that focused on character development and student leadership so he could develop his natural talent at his own pace, she was not concerned withacademics at that time. You know the rest of the story. What if he lived in today’s type of government subsidize housing unit? Being a frustrated young at risk student chances are he would turn to crime and drugs, then spend his life in prison, all because he did not have the needed character development and student leadership skills to find his true talent and/or an outlet in order to developit, if found.

• How many Thomas Edisons' are in jail because they were incompatible with classroom environments and lack opportunity not havingany character development skills to help develop their natural talent?
• People are in prison today because society says all teenagers especially the ones that don’t show many students leadership must be intellectuals before they can develop their natural talent. They were labeled failures in the classroom and self-fulfilling prophecy proves everyone right.

A high percent of today's professional blue-collar workers walked outside theeducation system, couldn'tqualify for apprentice programs or technical schools, started their career as a helper, advanced until many now make $70,000 per year. Blue-collar employers are not interested in applicants' education level, they want work ethic skills, the ability to get the job done, good character development skill and student leadership. With healthy self-esteem, employers can teach necessary skills, even at the helper level. A person with negative self-esteem has no value to anyone, even with education achievement certificates. Standardized test builds positive self-esteem in the winners and negative self-esteem in the losers and does nothing to build upself-discovery or natural talent.

Thomas Edison was lucky, his mother quickly recognized what the academics-first policy was doing to Thomas and removed him from that environment. Many of today's teenagers are not so lucky, they are stripped away fromthe education environment and sent to jail.

Nationally Recognized youth speaker Jamahl Keyes Tip: Teacher professional development some tips on educating students with Oppositional Defiance Disorder.

The American Psychiatric Association Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fourth Edition, (DSM-IV) defines oppositional defiant disorder (ODD) as a recurrent pattern of negativistic, defiant, disobedient, and hostile behavior toward authority figures that persists for about6 months. Behaviors in thedefinition are losing one’s temper; arguing with adults; actively defying requests; refusing to follow along withrules; deliberately annoying other individuals; blaming others for one’s own mistakes or misbehavior; being touchy, easily annoyed or angered, resentful, spiteful, or vindictive.

ODD is often diagnosed when a child has a persistent or consistent pattern of disobedience and hostility toward parents, teachers, or other adults. The standardsfor ODD are met only whenthe problem behaviors occur more frequently in the child than in other children of the same age and developmental level. These behaviors cause significant problems withloved ones, and the oppositional behaviors are similarboth at home and in school. Sometimes, ODD may be a precursor of a conduct disorder. Co morbidity of ODD with ADHD has been reported to occur in 50%-65% of affected children. ODD is not diagnosed if the problematic behaviors occur exclusively with a mood or psychotic disorder.

Business and Sales Speaker Indianapolis Tip: Meet Their Expectations and Then Exceed Them

Who hasn’t been to Disney World and marveled at the smallest detail? If

you’ve ever taken a behind-the-scenes tour, you’ll know that EVERTHING to

Disney is marketing. And EVERYONE is responsible for that marketing.

 

Disney doesn’t have employees. Disney has cast members.

Upbeat music is played as you enter the park in the morning. Calming music is

played as you leave in the late afternoon and evening.

 

No detail is too small, too insignificant, or too unimportant to Disney. Even their

cleanliness is marketing.

 

Take a trip at least once a year to Disney and look through different marketing

glasses every time, and then implement what you see in your own business.

Business and Sales Speaker Indianapolis Tip: Turn Trash into Treasure

In every business there are scraps and throwaways. It stands to reason that if you

own a metal etching company, like Indiana Metal Etching in Elkhart, IN, you’d have scrap metal.Yes, it gets recycled, but one day it struck us to create our 3” x 5” business cards out of metal. Add a couple of etched samples on the card and we had something really unique and interesting.

 

Can you say “homerun”?

 

We’ve now done metal business cards for all kinds of big-shots, from company presidents to mayors of Chinese provinces. We’ve also done a heck of a lot of them for individuals who want to stand out from the crowd and be

noticed.

 

One client who was in the financial business had us create a business card for him that looked like a thin gold bar.

 

The thing that makes these cards so powerful is that, unlike regular crappy paper business cards, people don’t throw these away. They keep them, they always know where they are (unlike a paper business card), and they show

them to friends. And sometimes they even order them! What business are you in?

 

What should you be using for a business card?

Business and Sales Speaker Indianapolis Tip: Monitor Your Employees

There’s a saying: “inspect what you expect.” That means we inspect what our employees are doing, whether it’s a routine job or something a little more complicated, to make sure what they do meet our expectations.

 

Because if it meets the owner’s expectations, it will meet the customers’ expectations, too.

 

And on the other hand, if we don’t inspect…well, how will we even know what we’re getting? Chances are we won’t until a customer doesn’t get what he expects – and by then, it will be too late.

 

President Reagan used to say “trust but verify.” I believe that saying

will serve you well in life.

Business and Sales Speaker Indianapolis Tip: The Gold Is in the List

Your client list is your business’s numberone asset.

Know who your clients are. Where do they live, when is their birthday, how

many children do they have, what do they read, and what do they do when

they’re not working?

 

The gold is in the list. Sliced and diced, niched, and pitched – there is nothing

more valuable.

 

And you won’t believe how many business owners don’t even have their customer list in any digital form (preferably a database). They don’t stay in contact. They don’t send them notes.

 

They don’t send newsletters. They don’t send emails. Nothing.Nada.Zilch.

They just sit back and “pray” that they’ll come back and buy.

 

OK, if it’s a really big customer, they may call them once in a while and ask if they

have any other business.

 

But that’s no way to treat gold. Software services like aWeber,

InfusionSoft, 1Shopping Cart, ACT, Send Pepper, and others help protect that

golden list so you can mine it over and over and over.
