Fear and the Marketplace: Creating Sales in a Climate of Contraction
Many forces drive the global economy, and all of them are related to emotion. When the customers are in a feeling of abundance, they spend their money willingly, expecting that good times are ahead. When they are driven by fear, nothing can pry the dollars out of their hands. The job of the salesperson is to help the customer to feel safe and happy, in much the same way as skydiving “jumpmasters” prepare their students to exit an aircraft in flight. In this sales-oriented seminar, Brian shares the wisdom he has gleaned from 20 years of parachuting instruction to help your sales staff to become the best “salesmasters” they can be.

The Right Stuff: Being the Pilot of Your Life
There are two kinds of people in this world, “pilots” who control their fate, and “passengers” who are victims of the situation. This inspiring talk confronts the core-determining factor in human success: self-image. Believing in ourselves is what allows us the courage to look beyond the current challenges to find solutions. Brian’s describes what he calls the “pilot mentality”, and how we can all access this higher opinion of ourselves to create the best possible outcome in the face of adversity.

Controlling Emotion: Three Steps to Freedom
When we truly consider the consequences of our emotions, we realize that we are the creator of our experience on more levels than meet the eye. Our successes and failures have more to do with the negative and positive thoughts that we entertain throughout our day. X-Games World Champion and inspiring author Brian Germain offers his thoughts on maintaining focus and the state of mind that leads to victory. Brian’s simple action plan for dealing with intense emotion will transform the way you work with arousing circumstances to make you more effective in everything you do.

The Big Jump: Preparing for Success
Everything we do in life is a jump into an unknown situation. Even when we are engaged in the seemingly mundane tasks of our daily lives, our attention to detail is absolutely necessary if we want to do our best. Complacency is the most dangerous form of laziness, as it erodes this attention to the specifics of any given situation. Brian’s extensive work in the area of parachuting safety acts as a perfect metaphor to inspire us to rise to the challenge by remaining focused on the big picture as well as the details of our present moment. Entertaining real-life skydiving stories light this presentation up, and provide perennial truths that can make us more effective people.
