This is a special bulletin for all meeting planners:
"How to
ensure your next event
is a smash hit they'll be talking
about for years to come!"
From: Jay Platt
Dear Meeting Planner,
Let’s face it. It’s getting tougher and tougher these days to find truly exceptional speakers.
Speakers who can have audience members laughing, crying, gasping, and, finally, cheering like they have just discovered something deep within themselves that they didn’t know existed, or never dreamed would see the light of day again.
The kind of speaker who has the ability to give people hope, vision, and a sense of purpose for their future without letting their past stand in the way.
Someone with a story so powerful that the audience can't help but sit up and take notice because they don't want to miss even a tiny morsel of motivational wisdom.
My name is Jay Platt. I am a record setting adventure athlete, author, and (even more importantly to you) from what my audiences tell me, the kind of speaker I’ve just described above.
My presentations are full of stories that are funny, inspiring, and entertaining which all get right to the heart of the matter with a message that can truly change peoples lives. And I'd love to do the same for you and your organization.
My Comeback Story Can Be Your Success Story
I have faced some pretty major adversities in my life and have beaten the odds again and again. I’ve lived a tough life and gone through a lot. But it’s made me who I am today.
For fifteen years, I served as a United States Marine, seeing tours of duty throughout the world. It was a dream come true. After all, being a Marine was all I'd ever wanted to do since I was a young boy, and I loved every minute of it.
As a Marine, I learned leadership through experiences you simply can’t get most places. I trained new recruits as a drill instructor, served as a small unit commander during numerous deployments abroad, taught others to withstand adverse conditions as a survival trainer, and molded future leaders at the Marine Corps University.
But in the fall of 1998, all of that came to a sudden end when I was diagnosed with a rare cancer syndrome; a condition that resulted in the loss of my left eye, part of my left kidney, and multiple brain and spinal tumors. My world was turned upside down and my Marine Corps career was over.
I was medically retired as a Gunnery Sergeant and sent home to quietly fade way. I was even told by several medical professionals that my better days were far behind me and that I should just face the facts.
It was time
for me to make a decision. I could either give up or I could get better.
And that's when I made up my mind that I would not allow this disease
that had taken so much from me to win. Not without one hell of a fight.
From that day forward, my goal has been to use this setback to prove
that it’s not what happens to you in life that matters, it's your response
to it.
Since then,
I have gone on to raise hundreds of thousands of dollars for various
charities through fundraising adventures that most people wouldn't dare
attempt.
Like when I swam more than 1 ½ miles from Alcatraz Island to San
Francisco (with both my hands and feet bound) becoming one of only
three people in the world to ever complete the difficult swim in
such a way.
Or my five month, mega-challenging southbound thru-hike of the more than 2,100 mile Appalachian Trail.
These are just a couple of examples of the many adventures I speak about. And when I do, I do so in such a way that the audience can relate it to their own lives, and will realize that they too are unstoppable.
The examples I use when I speak are so powerful because they're real life and not just something I read in a book or learned in school, or (even worse) that every other speaker out there is using.
And that's how I'm able to bring about lasting change and make a real difference in the lives of those in attendance.
And isn't that what you really want?
Here Is A List Of The Programs Available
No Matter What!
This is my signature program and it always leaves audiences hungry for more. It's based on my top-selling book of the same title, which details my story of overcoming tremendous adversity and accomplishing the seemingly impossible. The end result is an audience that is full of fired up individuals who are ready, willing, and able to blast through any and all obstacles that stand in the way of them and their goals.
It’s All About Attitude
Attitudes, both positive and negative, can have a tremendous impact on the success (or failure) of an organization. The stark truth is, attitudes really are contagious and they do impact the bottom line. You definitely won't want to miss this presentation, as I share proven tips, techniques, and tactics that I and other high achievers use to develop and maintain the type of winning attitude necessary to continue moving forward, regardless of the circumstances.
Lead, follow, or get out of the way!
This
presentation is perfectly suited for leaders at all levels and will make a
noted difference in the effectiveness of your organization. My experience as
a small unit leader in the Marine Corps taught me the fundamentals of
leadership in ways no business school can duplicate. In this hard hitting
program, I speak directly to the heart of what true leadership is all about
and provide specific ways leaders can consistently get awesome results
with others.
Whichever program you choose, you can be assured of a dynamic, engaging and high-powered presentation.
Don't wait until it's too late. Last year was a sell-out and this year the buzz about my presentations has resulted in dates being taken quicker than ever.
So, if your meeting attendees crave powerful stories of inspiration, sage advice on overcoming any and all obstacles, and proven techniques on leadership, motivation, and attitude then you owe it to yourself to contact me right now!
Sincerely,
Jay Platt
P.S. - A successful meeting will be a great reflection on you. My ability to bring you an action-packed presentation that will leave them standing and cheering will get you the successful event you're looking for.
My calendar is filling up fast so act quickly!
