Troy Hazard's speaking fee falls within range: $15,000 to $20,000
Entrepreneurial genius, Troy Hazard has founded and nurtured twelve businesses over two decades. He’s taken charge of businesses that are a few days from bankruptcy, turned them around at the last minute, consulted to countless companies, and shared his keys to success with audiences in 23 countries.
Troy’s ventures stretch across numerous industries including pools, pizza, and the technology sector. He is the former Global President of the prestigious Entrepreneurs’ Organization and a best-selling Amazon author. A recognized Certified Speaking Professional by the National Speaker Association, Troy points out, “The key thing about what I have to share is that I’ve done it – I’m speaking from experience, the good and the bad.”
Troy’s trusted expertise and keen communication skills made him the ideal host for two national network television shows in Australia – Inside Franchising and Don’t Come Monday. He is one of the few Australians to successfully make his way into the U.S, television market. His latest business talk show, Gettin’ Down 2 Business, can be seen on the BizTV Cable Network and through TiVo.
There are theory specialists and then there are those who have been there. Troy Hazard, recent Global President of the elite Entrepreneurs′ Organisation, has survived moments of sheer desperation in business. Drawing from a lifetime of innovative, real-life leadership experience, Hazard now shares with businesses his powerful Lessons from the Edge.
How do you make the right decision when you′re faced with a situation you′ve never experienced before? What do your customers really want from your company and how do you ensure your relationships with your consumers are as strong as possible? How do you recognise trouble and change your strategy accordingly?
There are few situations in the business world that Troy Hazard has not experienced and survived – from massive financial loss to stunning success. The entrepreneurial genius, who has founded and nurtured ten businesses over two decades, has been a few days from bankruptcy, has turned around businesses that were making enormous losses and has consulted to countless successful companies.
Hazard′s business talents earned him international respect, so much so that he was elected by the worlds foremost business leaders for the role of Global President of the Entrepreneurs′ Organisation, a role he says was one of his greatest challenges.
“That was by far the toughest leadership position I have held,” he admits, speaking of an organisation that represents a global community of successful business owners. “I was leading leaders who lead leaders who lead people – a large collection of the world′s most brilliant business minds, and they all at some stage thought they could do the job better than I could. It was extremely challenging and rewarding, and thrilling at the same time.”
Hazard′s experiences in the business world have allowed him valuable insight into the workings of organisations and the minds of customers. Most business owners, for instance, believe they have a great relationship with their customers when in fact only twenty per cent really do. Why? Because business owners believe that, when a customer comes in to purchase a product or service, this constitutes a relationship. They assume their customers care about them!
It′s this same experience that gives Hazard such great value as a Certified Professional Speaker. “Some of my businesses have failed and that has taught me many important lessons that you don′t learn at business school,” Hazard says. He drills down success into four key areas: understanding your own personal values, being a visionary leader, solid market positioning, and customer relationships. “The key thing about what I have to share is that I’ve done it – I′m speaking from experience, the good and the bad.”
Troy’s Lessons from the Edge provide businesses with potent and refined tools, all of which have been road tested in real-world situations and none of which you will ever learn about in business school.
Troy Hazard shares the biggest single change he made at every single company he’s taken under his wing. Each day, he asked his team, either in person or on the phone three questions that got them on course: “What did you achieve yesterday?” “What are you going to achieve today?” and “How are you going to do it better tomorrow?”
This set of questions helped his companies and leadership team constantly evolve in a world where nothing stays the same. Pointing out that the competition had to deal with the same problems as his own organizations, Troy explains, “Our key is to embrace that evolution, know it’s happening, deal with it, and get on with it and let [our competitors] fade and moan about it while we get in front of it.”
A seasoned entrepreneur who has navigated the ups and downs of the business world, Troy Hazard delivers priceless lessons on four key aspects of company life: understanding your own personal values, being a visionary leader, solid market positioning, and customer relationships. He presents road-tested tactics for each area, keeping the entire audience involved from beginning to end.
Troy tailors his programs specifically to meet organizers’ objectives, carefully choosing the most relevant content for each audience.
