  • Self Leadership

    19/02/2019 Duration: 27min

    Leaders must have followers. You cannot set up to set the pace if the other people behind you don't care what you think and do not respect you. To be a good leader, you must begin by leading yourself in a direction of more success.  Thom Singer takes this episode of the "Cool Things Entrepreneurs Do" podcast into the explorations of self leadership. If you are living as a fraud, others may not know it... but you are very award. People cannot lead self if they are out of sync with their own soul.

  • Try Something New In Your Business

    12/02/2019 Duration: 22min

    The same efforts and same agenda will not produce new results. No matter what industry you work in, the guess is that you, your employees, your products and services, your vendors, and your customers are all caught up in the same routines.  It happens in all industries. Thom Singer wrote an article for the February 2019 "Meeting Professionals Magazine" titled TRY NEW THINGS (page 30) about how one of his clients totally re-thought their opening general session.  For decades this group, like most associations, had an opening business session that included a famous keynote speaker. But in 2018 they wanted to try something new. No Keynote. (As a keynote speaker himself, Thom does not advocate for killing off the keynote! Ha).  Instead, they created a 2 1/2 hours general session that focused on the brilliance of their members, sponsors, and other industry VIPs. They hired Thom to help facilitate the session, and got hundreds of people to engage and share best practices instead of sitting by and listening. It

  • Hiring Motivational Speakers

    29/01/2019 Duration: 21min

    In episode 428 of the “Cool Things Entrepreneurs Do” podcast, Thom Singer shares his tips for how to find a speaker and hire the right person to “WOW” your event. In the previous week before recording this Thom was contacted by three different people asking for advice on how to hire a motivational speaker. These people were seeking experts in other topic areas that his expertise, but they had never before brought in outside professional speakers.  Please note that this episode is all about discovering and connecting with speakers.  Why hire a speaker? Often an expert with an outside view is just what your company or association needs to get fresh ideas. Too many people will tune out their co-workers, but based on third party suggestions will take new actions. Some roll their eyes at motivation, but Singer believes that all speakers need to be “Motivational Speakers”, as the opposite is not good for your meeting (de-motivating?).  Before you begin you must know all the details of your meeting and be clear

  • Networking in 2019

    20/12/2018 Duration: 39min

    Networking is still important in business. People do business with those they know, like and trust.  Over the past decade we have all become attached to our social media and digital / mobile tools, and many people have lost the basic networking skills that lead to more business opportunities.

There are many articles written that scoff at networking as if people really behave as idiots at live events. These articles are usually just writers trying to look smart, and making up problems that are not real. But there is a right way to network. In this episode Thom Singer talks about the time proven ways to connect with people. Thom has been speaking professionally on this topic and has taught his techniques at over 800 events. A few things you will hear in this episode: 1. Get to "like and trust". Having people know abou
