Every Talk is Custom-Tailored
Every single presentation is custom-tailored to your audience. To accomplish this, Alex works with you and, if you allow, several members of the audience in advance of the presentation. Through interviews with audience members, Alex learns what their unique challenges are, what success entails, and what they’d like to learn in the talk. He incorporates all that – and their specific examples – into the talk while intertwining concrete resources, methods and take-home suggestions. So in the presentation, the audience is learning from the examples of their peers.
"Alex spent time with each of my four direct reports prior to the speech to ensure his remarks were relevant to my team. Alex clearly listened well because his speech was both enjoyable and relevant. The trends Alex highlighted helped my team see some of the issues they are wrestling with in a new light. Feedback from the event has been positive and we've added one of Alex's phrases - the wife acceptance factor - to our communal lexicon." -- Dave Edelstein, CIO, Dade Behring
Immediate Take-Home Value
Because each presentation is filled with techniques, suggestions and resources prepared specifically for your audience, attendees go back to work armed with tools for immediate improvement. And remember, Alex works towards your desired results. Audience members leave a Technology Tailor session more informed, motivated and armed with the tools they need to be more productive and effective at their jobs.
 "Your presentation was lively, informative and engaging! I particularly appreciated the obvious time you spent understanding the needs of the audience and adjusting your presentation to speak to those needs. I could tell from their questions and their staying well past the normal adjournment time that you truly connected and gave them food for thought. Thank you!" -- Wayne Stellmach, Independent Computer Consultants’ Association
Annotated Resource Guides Via E-Mail
There's no need for audience members to take notes during Alex's speeches. Since his talks often reference many hardware, software and Web site resources, Alex e-mails attendees customized annotated resource guides within 24 hours of his presentation. Because each talk is highly customized and extremely interactive, Alex never knows what tools and suggestions will be used. This is why resource guides are put together after the event rather than before it.
"I have to tell you that you were the best speaker we've had all year and one of the best I've heard anywhere!! All the comments I have heard have been of the highest regard. They loved you, Alex!!" --Rosemary Walters, Midwest Society of Professional Consultants
Well-Connected and Current
The Technology Tailor's presentations include the very latest in high-tech and business news, trends and developments. Alex supports his main lessons with current examples taken from his radio show and other major media outlets. He also brings stories from technology manufacturers, business corporations, executives and consumers, who he's constantly talking to.
"Excellent! I am not a technology person and yet I learned a tremendous amount! Your personal skills for connecting are great!!" -- David Hayes, McNeil & Johnson Learning Co.
Speech Topics
Here are The Technology Tailor's topics. Each one can be presented as a one-hour keynote speech or seminar, as well as in the form of a half-day and full-day workshop.
Outlines are available for each presentation. Call or write for more details on each talk.
For all audiences:
The Technology Tailor's Top Tech Trends & What They Mean to You
This lively, interactive program examines the effects of the latest technology trends Alex see taking shape in the world of business technology – and their effects on the audience's jobs, your company's success, and your industry's future.
"There really is humor in technology! Thanks for making what is usually a gray topic light and interesting." -- Cathleen Evans, Stivers Staffing
For all audiences:
The Technology Tailor’s Top Tech Tips, Tricks and Gadgets
Quick-hitting recommendations for immediate take-home application. In this session, Alex presents technology tips, tricks, tools, gadgets, gizmos and Web sites that apply specifically to your audience’s lives and work.
“Finally! An understandable explanation of using technology a tool to achieve our objectives. And entertaining to boot!” -- Tom Larocca, Larocca & Company, Ltd.
For all audiences:
Dreaming Big: The Mountains Between Dreaming and Achieving
This talk has nothing to do with technology! Rather, it's about the dissapointment, excitement, rejection, exhiliration, frustration, and failure that comes with chasing big dreams. It's about self management, time management, overcoming obstacles, dealing with depression, believing in yourself, and the unique set of challenges people face when they pursue their dreams.
For Consumer Electronics Manufacturers:
It’s All About Lifestyle: Why Focusing on Lifestyle Will Create Raving Consumer Evangalists
In a world where technology develops at breakneck speeds and ads touting the latest “must-have” products scream at consumers every day, technology companies must shout out their products’ and services’ life-improvement value from the mountain tops. Communicate to your customers how your technology can improve people’s lives, and they will come in droves – with credit cards in hand.
For Consumer Electronics Manufacturers:
What Consumers Want:
How to Communicate about What Your Customers Really Want From Your Products
Alex talks to consumers every day about the technology they use. He's constantly asking questions about what works, what doesn't, and what consumers wish their products could do for them. Alex also knows how consumers want to be communicated to about high-tech products. What would make them buy your specific products? Alex will ask consumers, and then put together a presentation or workshop to answer that question.
Well done, Alex! You deliver boring topics in a very interesting way. Your insights and delivery are effective because of your humor." -- Brad Bode, Midwest Facilitators Network
For I.T. Departments:
The I.T. Gap: Bridging the Distance between the I.T. Department and the Rest of the Company
The I.T. Gap typically consists of communication, perception and expectation issues that disconnect a company's technology department from every other department in the company. As with all his presentations, Alex will interview your I.T. staff, as well as end-users, to paint an accurate picture of your I.T. Gap, and then lay out steps for bridging it.
