In these speech video clips, Jeff discusses the role of creativity in the rapidly changing field education.

Jeff says, “Things are changing so rapidly” in the education industry, and stresses the importance of what he calls, “coloring outside the lines.” He states that education currently changes every 11 months, compared to every three years in the late 80s.

“I must thank you again, for an ABSOLUTELY engaging, informative, energizing and thoroughly delightful presentation! I′ve seen many workshops through the years, in my previous marketing career with Hewlett Packard, but nothing in your league!” Carrie East, Promotional Products Association of Oregon and Washington
“When we first chose the theme “Outside the Lines” for our state conference, we had no idea what we were getting into. Nor did we realize that when one wants to create outside the lines, it can mean extra work, albeit “fun” extra work! The results of our labor were outstanding! Your assistance in helping us plan and develop ideas was as inspiring and motivating for the conference planning committee as your general session “Coloring Outside the Lines” was for the attendees. Your presentation received high praises not only from those who attended the session, but also from the exhibitors who were given their own very motivational program. You were a guide for all of us to step “outside” our comfort zone.” Heidi Schultz, Program Chair Iowa State Conference Society of Human Resource Managers, Management Resource Group, LTD
“Boy, am I sorry I missed your program! I heard nothing but good things about it. Some said it was the best part of the staff meeting. You made a big impression and people carried a lot of messages out with them. The next day I kept hearing comments about “meeting under the table,” “challenges, not problems,” and “if it′s not broke, break it.” Joyce Abercrombie, MEd, CFCS; Director of Education, American Dairy Association & Dairy Council Mid East
“Both of your sessions, Brain Sparking–It′s Catching On! and Coloring Outside the Lines: Creative Sales and Marekting for the 21st Century were among the top rated sessions and–off the record–attendees reported that they were the most fun!” Judith S. Smith, Director of Education, Meeting Professionals International
“Thanks so much for making me look good! I always find it tough to extend a personal recommendation on something as subjective as ′motivational speaker,′ but once again you came through with your colors flying! I heard nothing but kudos and praises for your program from very hard-to-please crowds that, by their own admissions, have “been there, done that.” My only concern is that, with all our company leaders exploring this new found creativity–and having fun with it–they may not need me any more (or, then again, maybe I′ll get very busy)!” Margaret Saldivar, Communications Specialist, Mettler-Toledo, Inc. Scales & Systems
“The audience reception was absolutely phenomenal. Jeff certainly and most definitely achieved our objective…the world absolutely was a favorite of the crowd and they chanted it for the rest of the meeting. The audience got the message on change through creativity and many spoke about how this sentiment was applicable in both personal and professional life. Senior management used Jeff′s quotes in their presentations as well. Jeff is a very energetic speaker, he speaks with passion and conviction. He is also very humorous which helps keep the audience engaged. I really appreciated his presentation and applaud his style. Thanks Jeff for setting the stage and right attitude for the rest of the meeting.” Radhika Zaveri, Marketing Manager, Stouffer′s Single Serve and French Bread Pizza, Nestle USA

This initiative has been considered a resounding success in no small measure due to your outstanding facilitation and training expertise.

We all thank you for that.” Steven C. Gross, Pepsi-Cola Company
