You know the sad story… Sales hates operations…Operations can’t stand sales…their only agreement is that they abhor the home office just a little bit more! Though this description may be a bit of an exaggeration in your organization, it is absolutely clear that enormous energy, momentum, and results are being lost through the separation that comes from silos. Brian Biro, America’s Breakthrough Coach has tackled this challenge head on in real life, not just from the stage! First he built one of the nation’s largest and most accomplished swimming teams, successfully merging two top programs into a powerful and united program. Next, as a corporate vice president at a leading transportation company, Brian used the same teambuilding principles and strategies you’ll learn in this one-of-a-kind presentation to engineer a phenomenal turnaround that resulted in enormous sales and profitability growth while transforming a silo-infested organization to a high performance team! Finally through his work as a speaker and consultant, Brian has assisted hundreds of organizations to come together and build environments of mutual support, true respect, and great appreciation for one another. It’s a formula that creates BREAKTHROUGHS!

Organizations and individuals deal with change in three principal ways:

1. Most merely put up with change. They wait, react, and try to keep it at arms length. If they’re lucky, these are change survivors.
2. Some fight change and stay entrenched in old ways of thinking, acting, and leading. More often these become change victims whose results, quality, and enthusiasm dive right off the charts.
3. Winners embrace and quite often anticipate or create change! These are change champions! They recognize that standing still is actually going backwards. They understand that the best things they’ve ever experienced or accomplished came from change…doing things they’ve never done before and thinking in ways they never have before.

Becoming an organization of CHANGE CHAMPIONS injects tremendous energy, momentum, innovation, and vitality into everything you do. Your team members are EXCITED to come to work. They feel respected, appreciated, and engaged.

In this breakthrough presentation every single participant will learn the simple but powerful keys to move from change survivors or victims to champions! They will experience the joy of positive change and of accomplishing things they didn’t know they could do! The result of this exciting presentation is a team that is more united, engaged, and focused on possibility rather than limits!

Isn’t it time to stop focusing and worrying about what you DON’T control and shift energy to what you DO control? Organizations and individuals that are winning in these challenging times are creating cultures of possibility based upon every team member embracing personal responsibility for their effort, energy, and attitude. In this extraordinarily engaging, vibrant, and FUN presentation, Brian Biro, America’s Breakthrough Coach ignites your team to build momentum from the inside out.

Great leaders know the secrets to help themselves and their team members move from “it’s a job” to “it’s my PASSION.” They energize and engage the team, build effective and connected relationships, shape the future, and model personal excellence, integrity, personal responsibility, and humility.

Ideal time is 2.5 hours but it might be possible to do it in 75-90 minute time-frame.

I’m so excited to introduce you to a simple but powerful follow-up program for you that will have a fantastic impact on your team and really increase your ROI from the event.

The program is an 18-day, TWO-minute per day video series called Breakthrough Leadership I’ve created in association with a fantastic company called AVANOO (who have done extensive research in video-based learning). Here’s what makes it so excellent:

1. Each 2.5 minute video contains a wonderful story, a key principle, and a simple but important action to take
2. The videos are SHORT – TWO and a HALF MINUTES max!
3. The videos come directly to each person’s email each day. They simply click on the thumbnail link and BOOM! (the link can be formatted to show the company logo or vision statement by the way!)
4. Over 18 days – roughly one business month — the videos instill the HABITS of energy, focus on service, engagement, and personal leadership
5. Because all team members participate and watch the videos, the program creates team momentum
6. Team members can share each day’s video with family at home, with kids in college…
7. The videos powerfully reinforce the Breakthrough seminar or keynote presentation
8. The videos are beautiful (great time lapse photography and wonderful music) … I LOVE them!
9. The program is INCREDIBLY inexpensive and cost effective.
10. Your clients receive weekly reports about participation and impact.

The BEST strategy is to kick the Breakthrough Leadership program off as soon as we can (WHILE THE IRON IS HOT) and run each weekday for 18 business days, starting shortly after the live event. What an AWESOME way to make the event last week have lasting and increased value!

This is a tremendous way to DISRUPT THE STATUS QUO and ignite performance and focus. We can have your team up and running VERY quickly.

I have wanted to come up with a great follow-up program for 28 years! THIS IS IT! After so many different attempts, this one works! It’s short, consistent, impactful, comes right to each participant, and affects them positively both professionally and personally. At the end of the 18 days your team will think differently, with fresh focus and energy. There is NOTHING more powerful than that!

Here are some examples:

Over an 11 year study by Kotter, organizations that elevate employee engagement through kindness and focus raised their value 901%! Those that did not grew only 74% over that same 11 year period! KINDNESS WORKS! The average annual turnover rate in the Quick Service Food Industry is 170%. The two companies that build extraordinary engagement centered around a culture of kindness are Starbucks and Chick-Fil-A. Their annual turnover rates are 24% and 14% respectively! KINDNESS REALLY WORKS! (And we need this more than ever!). In my new keynote I lay out the path to a culture of kindness that results in astonishing results!

Included now with my keynote for ALL participants at NO CHARGE (up to 300 attendees) is my 18-day, 2.5 minute per day follow-up video program. This normally sells for a minimum of $25/person and is SHATTERING all records for engagement. We’re seeing 75-90% of all participants completing all 18 days! Each video has a story, message, and action… all in 2.5 minutes. I wrote and narrate each video and team with an AMAZING company called AVANOO who handles the implementation and visuals. This is the best way ever to provide your clients with remarkable added value and the best answer ever to their inevitable question: “How can we keep this unbelievable momentum and energy going?”

Here’s an AWESOME article in FORBES about Avanoo! https://www.forbes.com/sites/meimeifox/2019/04/19/avanoo-earns-39m-valuation-by-helping-companies-build-positive-corporate-cultures/#25fd0e684de8

By the end of the session every single participant will be on their feet up around the stage, off the sidelines and into the game, cheering their lungs out and totally engaged. We’ll need to warn the hotel about the volume! And, in that 30 minutes every participant will come away with powerful, actionable, and clear learning points. It’s an extraordinary combination of content, inspiration, and customization! There is nothing like it!

In this culture-shifting keynote, Brian Biro reveals the stunning bottom-line impact that results from a concerted focus on elevating kindness into every aspect of your organization!

You’ll be amazed to learn that companies who center on kindness as a top value create remarkable results such as:

• A ten-fold reduction in turnover vs industry average (Chick-Fil-A & Starbucks)
• Legendary profitability – 46 consecutive years of positive bottom line and zero layoffs throughout all those years (Southwest Airlines)
• Industry leading growth and patient/customer care (Kaiser Permanente)

Many in business have the mistaken belief that focusing on kindness is soft and weak. In Breakthrough to Kindness, Brian will shatter those misconceptions and uncover the simple secrets to developing and delivering proactive kindness into your culture that will transform every aspect of your business.

The time is NOW to BREAKTHROUGH TO KINDNESS!

The BEST way to keep ENERGY, CONNECTION, and a feeling of BELONGING alive!

I’m so excited to introduce you to a simple but powerful program that will have a fantastic impact on your team and as we navigate these uncharted waters.

The program is an 18-day, 2.5-minute per day video series called Breakthrough Leadership I’ve created in association with a fantastic company called AVANOO (the preeminent story plus technology company in the US). Here’s what makes it so excellent:

1. Each 2.5-minute video contains a wonderful story, a key principle, and a simple but important action to take

Per person cost for this event

There’s a real hunger to try to find ways in a virtual event to create a sense of belonging and teamwork. The leadership retreat does this beautifully because we maximize the interactivity with breakout rooms, polling, and team integration.

At these virtual retreats, the value and need for this lighter focus on people, leadership principles, and growth is exponentially multiplied because the participants don’t have the after meeting networking times where they can connect.THIS IS THE BIG THING THAT IS MISSING ON OTHER ZOOM EVENTS. THEY ARE ALL ABOUT NUMBERS OR DATA AND NOTHING ABOUT PEOPLE, MOTIVATION, ENERGY, AND RELATIONSHIP.

More than EVER, companies need to do all they can to help their people feel important, appreciated, and cared about. That’s what my session does. It shows that the company cares about their emotional and mental well-being. Because I always bring in stories and examples about family and focus beyond the workplace, that sense of valuing the participants as people is heightened.

By breaking my presentation into two 90 minute sessions a day apart, the participants actually have the opportunity to more than digest the learning…they get to APPLY it! That was really exciting! Several of the participants came back on the second day with stories about how they had led differently using my breakthrough leadership principles and how excited they were with the results!

I also include for every participant my 18-day, 2.5 minute per day video follow-up program as well as the complete unabridged audio version of my book Beyond Success.

Here’s what’s in the program:

1) Opening 2-hour Zoom session on Breakthrough Leadership – filled with stories and impact.

2) Starting the next couple of days after the first Zoom session, each participant will receive my 18-day, 2.5 minute per day video series that powerfully supports and reinforces the initial zoom event, deepening and expanding the impact. Each video has a story, message, and action … all in 2.5 minutes!

3) At the end of the 18 business days, we schedule the 2nd Zoom session. This is also 2 hours … this session has one of two focuses depending upon what best fits the client. One of the sessions is titled: The Power of Questions and the Magic of Stories. In this session we dive into the two areas of communication that make the biggest difference in today’s business, family, and community worlds — questions and stories. Participants learn the neuroscience of stories and why stories are 22 times more effective than data and info to ignite engagement. They will also learn how to use questions to elevate teamwork and to build people and relationships. It’s an AWESOME session! Tremendous for sales, network marketing, and executive clients.

For other groups this second zoom session will be The ROI of Kindness. This brings my new book of the same title alive and is especially powerful for healthcare, dental, and customer service clients. It is a culture transformation presentation!

4). Next the participants receive the ROI of Kindness hardcover book AND the complete unabridged audio version of my book Beyond Success.

5). Two weeks later the participants receive a 40-minute video of my all-time favorite story called The Allison Factor. It’s a true story from my first career as a United States Swimming Coach and will have participants laughing, crying, and emerging tremendously inspired because ultimately, it is a story about their own potential.

6). Finally, after the second Zoom session, each week for 14 weeks the participants receive articles/essays I’ve written about stories and questions, again reinforcing and enhancing the Zoom event.

That’s it! THE BREAKTHROUGH SOLUTION! depending on the number of participants, the investment in this incredibly connecting, expansive program ranges as follows: (minimum 25 participants)

Cost is based on number of participants:

25 – 100 participants: $200/person

100 – 249 participants: $100/person

250 – 999 participants: $ 70/person

1,000+ participants: $50/person
