The Luxury Mindset: The Four Luxury Languages: Hoe to get the Attention of the Buyer That's Right for Your Brand

In this engaging and interactive keynote, join trusted advisor to luxury brand executives (and luxury lover!) Neen James to discover how to translate the amazing experiences (and things!) you offer into the words and concepts your clients and customers care about most.

You’ll learn:

-Analyze where and how your messages aren’t connecting with your current clients and customers

-Identify which luxury mindsets you serve—or want to—and the key drivers that shape how they think about luxury

-Follow a simple, three-step system to customize what you offer to focus what’s most important to each of those mindsets, at both the individual and market levels

In 2022, we partnered with research firm Audience Audit to investigate into the luxury mindset, and we discovered that there isn’t just “one” luxury mindset… There are four. And each mindset has its own “luxury language” they understand and respond to best.

Most luxury brand owners want to know one thing: how can we get the right client’s attention for our service or product. But, when trying to figure that out, they often focus on how their audience feels about luxury — they know that luxury is a mindset, and far more about experiences than things. But where do those feelings come from? They come from how consumers think about luxury —and not everyone thinks about it the same way. In fact, our research reveals that there are four distinct luxury mindsets. Understanding them — and how best to market to each of them — is key for any brand’s ability to attract and retain the right client’s attention.

​Folding Time™: How to Focus Your Time, Energy and Attention to Make An Impact

What if we’ve been thinking about productivity all wrong?

As leaders we are constantly being asked to do more with less. So we focus on being more “productive” and trying to get twice as much done in half the time. But no matter how productive we get, our calendars are triple-booked and our inboxes are overflowing.

The goal isn’t to get the most work done. It’s to get the most important work done, efficiently and effectively. To do that, we need to not only manage our time, but focus our attention, and leverage our energy.

In this program you will learn:

  • How to choose your most strategic time window based on your personal productivity style
  • Understand how to identify and eliminate distractions and “attention killers”
  • How The 15-Minute Rule can help you increase your sense of control and move all your  projects forward
  • How to “make time in time” and turn unproductive windows into magical moments

One media executive shared ‘Neen creates an environment of development, learning and accountability for all groups. She helped us really focus and be mindful of what we pay attention to in our work and personal lives. We have added her techniques to our daily routine and my team love the new level of productivity.’ 

ATTENTION PAYS™ How to Drive Profitability, Productivity and Accountability

To get the results you want, you need to get attention. But most people don’t know how to get it and keep it.

People often see attention as a transaction, something to trade, but it’s much more than that.  Neen has identified that people pay attention at three different levels; personal, professional, and global, and she’s designed a powerful methodology that makes it easy to leverage all three.

Neen’s Intentional Attention model helps individuals and organizations be more deliberate about the choices we make and the actions we take.

Join speaker, author, and sassy little Aussie, Neen James, and discover what makes attention valuable and why paying attention in very specific ways drives profitability, productivity and accountability.

You’ll learn:

·         Why we get attention wrong (and how to get it right)

·         The three types of attention, Personal, Professional and Global and how to master each

·         Strategies to design work and personal environments for optimal attention and focus

·         How to turn your technology and devices from frustrating distractions to powerful levers

·         A simple framework to get your team aligned, focused and executing faster than ever

After a recent presentation on the topic, a Comcast executive shared, “Neen motivated, captivated, and inspired an auditorium our senior leaders. She showed us how our good leaders can become great leaders and is a trusted mentor to our company. Neen is in a league of her own. Her impact on our organization simply can’t be overstated.“

IDEA SHAPING: Use Contextual Models to Bring Your Ideas to Life and Make Them Spread

Stephen Covey’s four quadrants. The Food Pyramid. Simon Sinek’s Golden Circle. These ideas spread and impacted millions of people.

Your ideas are powerful and they deserves to spread. But before they can spread, people need to understand them. And one of the most powerful tools to help people understand your ideas is a contextual model.

For years, Neen James has been helping speakers, leaders and visionaries translate their ideas into powerful, spreadable, repeatable contextual models. Today, she’s here today to help you do just that.

Neen will share:

  • When ideas spread (and when they don’t) and how a powerful contextual model will help you communicate, spread and make more money from your ideas
  • Why visuals are a vital communication tool to accelerate engagement and deeper understanding
  • A proven methodology and specific language to assist sales conversations and provide a competitive edge
