Signature Topics
Marketing Yourself
Nobody stands out from the crowd by staying quiet, bland, or unseen. If you have something to say or something to sell, Marketing Yourself is how you attract an audience, spread your message, and sell your wares. Your personal brand is something no one else has. When you make your personality part of your branding, you have to handle haters, imposter syndrome, and self-censorship. By elevating the four cornerstones of your personal platform, and crafting a personal statement that resonates with the right audience, you can improve your impact, income, and influence, and design a lifestyle that suits you best.
Hybrid Team Culture
Playful Productivity
Playing a game with our team can guide us into getting more out of limited resources of time and energy. By strategically using games to improve attention and increase innovation, play can transform how we participate in working. Play changes your state, gives you the resilience needed to solve hard problems, and empowers you to do better work in good cheer. By alternating between deep and shallow work, you can prevent cognitive fatigue by increasing variety & novelty. Practicing how to succeed (and fail) with your team in low-stakes play will form deeper relationships that enable you to handle high-stakes difficulties together.
“Caelan’s presentation was unique, practical, and engaging. He had great command of the material, and from a performance perspective, he connected strongly with the audience. Bottom line: the attendees said this was one of the best presentations of the event.”
Mike Rayburn, CSP, CPAE, Co-Chair, National Speakers Association Annual Conference 2019“Caelan is very personable, and his content is solid. He has an ability to sell without selling from the stage, and that’s a skill that speakers need to succeed today.”
Steve Lowell CSP, President, Global Speakers Federation“Caelan has a great classroom presence that really helps his students get the message. He practices what he preaches and just watching him host online meetings is an education of its own.”
