Is our
24/7, more-faster-now culture eating us alive...or setting us free?
New York Times bestselling
author, inductee into the Speaker Hall of Fame and Olympian, Vince Poscente
has the answer.
Vince Poscente used his
unique perspective on business and speed to reach the gold medal round of
the Olympic speed-skiing competition only four years after deciding to
compete - with no previous racing experience. With every effort concentrated
on achieving his own top speed, he began to notice the pervasive and
defining influence speed has in all our lives.
Unravelling the notion that
in today’s world we need to slow down, Poscente illustrates why harnessing
the power of speed is the ultimate solution for those seeking less stress,
less busyness, and more balance. He combines lessons from his remarkable
Olympic experience with insights from his book, The Age of Speed, to
inspire even the most resistant individuals to embrace speed. With his
infectious energy, warmth, and humor, Vince’s keynote leaves audiences
energized and excited about getting fast results.
Organizations and
individuals that are going through major change at a rapid-fire pace will
especially benefit from Vince’s message:
“Focusing on change alone is a
mistake. Let’s redirect our focus on embracing the speed in our
more-faster-now culture. You don’t cope with change...you embrace it. What
is critical is the next level...not coping with speed but harnessing it.
Execution is not about what to do…it is about how to do it…that’s what
creates innovative execution.”
Vince Poscente offers an
INVIGORATING PERSPECTIVE that will leave you SEEKING SPEED, not running from
it – CREATING IT, not fearing it.

Speed Can Be Your Greatest Ally
From start to finish, you wowed
us with your enthusiasm, challenging content, and your fun and interactive
presentation style. You engaged the audience with stories and examples that
hit home and outlined some changes that we as an industry and as individuals
must implement to be ready for tomorrow’s challenges. The audience
absolutely LOVED your speech. I overheard conversations throughout the
remainder of the conference about how amazing you were. Our evaluation forms
included statements such as, "off the charts," "dynamic," "inspirational,"
"phenomenal," the BEST," "belly-aching laughter," "greatest speaker I’ve
ever heard," and "enjoyed his energy and enthusiasm".

In my capacity as President of
MAACO, I have coordinated hundreds of motivational meetings and literally
have heard hundreds of speakers. Vince's message highlighting how the
positive power vision and focus can have on one's success truly reflects
what I have seen in real life. The beauty of his message and his story
impressed me more for its down to earth quality than any I have heard in
many years. His approach was really a breath of fresh air.
Mark A. Martino President MAACO
Vince Poscente hit the mark with what our people
needed to hear. We were particularly impressed with the "take-home" value of
focusing on success. His message and tools to achieve clarity of vision and
focus for success is very usable and easily remembered. The entire
event was and will be talked about and reflected upon for years. His style
and image depicts the kind of excellence that we strive for here at FedEx.
Bob Palmer, Vice President FedEx
Vince Poscente has the energy of Robin Williams, the
clarity of Peter Jennings and the presentation content of Colin Powell. If
you want a motivational, exciting and dynamic speaker, hire Vince.

I truly enjoyed Vince Poscente's motivational speech
at our convention. He certainly touched my heart and awoke my competitive
fire.
Omar Roman Manager, Burger King
I really enjoyed every minute of Vince Poscente's
speech. If there's only one thing I will take away it is that line, "Be
willing to do what your competition is not willing to do!"

Manager Nestlé Canada Inc.
It's been 4 days since I have heard Vince's speech and
already I am seeing and feeling the affect of his inspiration!!
Jenifer Kaban Student
I have been very fortunate to hear several top
speakers at large company meetings... People like Gen. Norman Schwartzkopf,
Apollo 13 Commander Jim Lovell, Gen. Colin Powell, Barbara Bush, President
Gerald Ford just to name a few. Each of these outstanding individuals has
strong platform skills and a strong message. However, none combined the
enthusiasm, entertainment and simple guidelines to help succeed like Vince
Poscente's presentation did. Vince has a unique perspective and way of
presenting these concepts that motivated me to really step up my efforts to
achieve my goals.
