Greg Bennick: Keynote Entertainer presents...
"Get Involved: Turn Your Passion Into Action"
"You are an artist...an expert at connection."
—Rob Osborn, Cornell University
Greg Bennick offers entertaining presentations that explore how we GET INVOLVED with creativity and motivation to turn our passion into action. His keynotes explore how to live, create, and work together more
effectively by exploring passion and purpose. He can customize this core concept to include messages
specific to your event.
A special note from Greg about his presentations:
My speech title is “Get Involved: Turn Your Passion Into Action”. We need to live fully and to find meaning in what we do. Does your group know best how to make that a reality? I theme my keynotes by using an example of someone from the client’s community who embodies the ideas of passion, having a sense of purpose, engaging with creativity and utilizing collaboration. I then offer perspectives on these ideas while using their person as a model. This material is researched thoroughly in advance. The keynote is adaptable to conferences and events with leadership or teamwork themes, and is funny all throughout with constant audience involvement and participation. I look forward to working for you!"
In the presentation, you will hear about creativity and collaboration, and how they translate into action. Greg can also include topics important to YOUR organization:
LEADERSHIP: What are the qualities and strengths of vulnerable and confident leaders, and how does it benefit you to know the difference? Greg's real life experience with leadership includes the World Leaders Project, an initiative Greg started that had him meeting face to face with world leaders (specifically the President of Guyana with other meetings currently being scheduled) to discuss dynamics of power, control, and effective balance. You need a speaker who talks the talk and walks the walk. And one who is funny. Greg is all of those in one.
TEAMWORK: What are the greatest hurdles to effective communication? How can we transform being let down by others in the past to being inspired to try again in order to work together effectively? Greg sits on the Board of an international organization dedicated to increasing human compassion and empathy. He knows teamwork. Teamwork demands vigilance, patience, commitment, and determination. Add to that a focus on why impossible dynamics can be unraveled and made possible, and you have a great presentation.

Case Studies.
Washington Fire Commissioners Association - comedy keynote address in Spokane WA
Greg was the keynote speaker for the 2009 Washington Fire Commissioners Association convention. His topic was "Leadership" and he incorporated non-stop audience participation and laughs every minute along with ideas about what makes a leader most effective. His show received tremendous response, proving once again that combining ideas with laughter is absolutely, always, the way to go. Attendees admitted to taking pages of notes during the keyote: a solid sign that the strength of the ideas had everyone's minds working while the comedy kept them engaged and entertained. His client's comment after the show: "GREAT job! You got us off to a perfect start!". Please contact our office anytime for a full reference from this client.
National Insurance Marketing Association - comedy keynote presentation in Monterey, CA
When the newly formed National Insurance Marketing Association (NIME) held their first ever convention at the elegant Monterey Bay resort in California, they turned to Greg to be their keynote speaker and deliver impact and endless laughs because they liked the idea of comedy and keynotes blending into one. What the organization didn't realize is that Greg grew up with an extensive background connection to the insurance industry due to an uncle (David J. Schoenfeld for those curious amongst you) who for thirty years was a member of the prestigious "Million Dollar Roundtable" with the New York Life Insurance Company. As a result, Greg was able to share personal anecdotes about the industry with the NIME team, creating an incredibly personal level of customization for what turned out to be an explosively funny keynote!
Selective Insurance - corporate keynote presentation in Cherry Hill, NJ
Greg custom scripted a 60 minute keynote presentation for Selective Insurance based on their needs to have agents across twenty-two states communicate more effectively. The presentation explored communication, collaboration, and personal accountability, demonstrated through both Greg's words and also interactive comedy themed to their organization. Balancing a knife on one's chin: cool. Balancing a knife on one's chin in front of a room full of risk management professionals and making jokes that they could relate to about risk, lawsuits, and the legal process: amazing!
