Today, I am working with clients in emergency medicine, manufacturing, sales and marketing, education, retail, travel and leisure, public service, profit and non-profit. But I see them all struggling with the same issues that inevitably result in high stress and low morale.

The good new is that some organizations have found strategies and approaches that are working and paying big dividends for them. I focus on those real-world success stories and how they might apply to my audience.

“Sandy spent his time prior to speaking getting to know our clients and our leadership. By the time he took the stage, you would have thought that he had grown up in our industry. His content is germane to any group trying to deal with change, stay on top of their game and get the job done at the same time. Our attendees appreciated the departure from traditional meeting content and told us to bring him back! Sandy was the highlight of our event.”

Keynote Speaking

As a keynote speaker or motivational speaker, Sandy meticulously prepares his keynote addresses to focus on the audience’s issues and concerns and to blend seamlessly with the theme of the gathering and with other speakers and agenda items. His research includes an understanding of the seminar sponsor’s objectives, the time allotted for the presentation, and any follow-on opportunities, such as break-out sessions or informal gatherings that allow for the exchange of ideas. If the format allows, Sandy often uses powerful PowerPoint images to help the audience grasp ideas and concepts.

Regardless of the topic, Sandy’s presentations are thought provoking, practical, and warm, with a touch of soft humor. Even as he helps the audience to see the error of their ways, he does it with a twinkle and nudges them toward more productive behavior.

“Sandy Smith’s soothing southern drawl resonates from our corporate office in New York to a local satellite group near Oxford, England and then to a large manufacturing plant in Montreal, Canada. Sandy wows them all with his ability to be totally in the moment and uniquely combines a soft touch, focus and clarity to engage his audience.”

Sandy is able to draw on years of “real world” experience in consulting with diverse industries in the United States and abroad and in counseling individuals through crises in their personal and professional lives.
