Keynote or Breakout Presentation
"But I Am Not Most People™" By: Greg Gilbert "Mr. HR With A Guitar" “Greg Gilbert is a man on a mission who will help you exceed your expectations.”
Willie Jolley-CPAE Speaker Hall of Fame Member.
I would like to share my presentation “But I Am Not Most People™” with your group. How many times have we heard people say “Well, most people would do this” or “Most people would not do that”? Guess what? Most people are not Healthy, Wealthy and Wise. Note: When I say wealthy, it is not just financial. It is wealthy in time, relationships and not living paycheck to paycheck. Personally, I don’t want to be like “Most People”. Successful people form habits of doing things that unsuccessful people do not like to do. Here is the most encouraging news, successful people DO NOT LIKE DOING IT EITHER, BUT THEY DO IT ANYWAY!! "Most People" are only six inches from success and not being like "most people". That is the distance between their ears.
Warning!! If there is a high percentage of "it's not my fault", "finger pointing", "unaccountable for anything and everything" people in your group, you may want to look elsewhere for a speaker. No one changes anything if it's always warm and fuzzy. When your toughest accountability partner is looking at you in the mirror each morning, you are on the right road. We will have some fun and laughs but if you are looking for entertainment only, there are much better comedians and performers for this purpose. I want to share information that can help you make changes in your business AND your life. I know you've heard this, "when the student is ready, the teacher will appear". Well, if the student (your group) is ready, I really look forward to appearing. We need to review your “Life Résumé” because you may be settling. You may be settling in your business, personal, financial, physical or all of the above, parts of your life. We NEED to talk!! You may be “Most People”!! Here is the scary thing. If a company is made up of “most employees” who are supervised by "most supervisors" and results are managed by “most managers”, guess what, you will be like “most companies”. Let me help change that. Let’s form habits of doing things we may not like doing but lead to improved results. The "R" word. Results are more important today than ever. You can have results or excuses, pick one. Let's think of things differently. The items I cover will be from life, family and work experiences. It is amazing but my personal “Life Résumé” from over a decade as the primary Human Resources contact to over 2,000 employees seems to have thousands of more pages than all my other years of life combined. In my HR career I have seen what worked for decades but I have also seen what has led to disaster and damage control. I have seen careers and lives ruined by the absence of personal accountability. I have been asked if I was a motivational, inspirational or educational speaker. I always answer NO, I am a speaker. If someone doesn’t want to be motivated, inspired or educated, then no one can accomplish this. BUT, put me with a group that wants the benefit of hundreds of years of personal and mentors PEOPLE experience THEN we will participate in motivation, inspiration, education AND fun! Face it, most of the time Human Resources (HR) is NOT a fun topic. There is SO much damage control, so much DRAMA. BUT, there ARE success stories. These do not just happen. They normally happen because SOMEONE DID THEIR JOB. A “success story” is normally NOT created by “most people”. We will talk about these items in between such hit songs as “I Love HR” and other miss songs (the opposite of a hit song). The reason all groups enjoy this presentation is because the common theme is people. I will promise you will think differently when you leave. Our goal is to increase personal responsibility and reduce finger pointing. My goal is to not have you leave as “Most People”! Length of Program-45-60 minutes-Great for lunch or dinner meetings or a fun break in supervisor meetings / retreats. Fee: Complete the form below for a quote. Travel expenses are negotiable depending on the location. Lodging if required. Note: “But I Am Not Most People™” can be designed to fit your group. My favorites are Human Resources, manager, employee and agriculture related meetings, not in any order. It's not a concert or a pre-designed program. I like to call it a "VISIT". Every audience is different. What can I share with you? I haven't gone through any significant life events that changed me or prompted change. What I do bring to the table that may separate me from most is that my last eleven years prior to retirement were spent as the Area Manager of Human Resources. I have been the primary HR contact to a workforce of 900-2100 at various times. I had and took advantage of hundreds of years of "life experience" from many mentors in this position. To have my "Life Résumé" updated only hourly was a slow day. I learned so much about people but I learned more about the only person I could change, ME!! Great News!! You do not have to hold a HR position to get this information. In life we have access to these years of "life experience" in friends, family, books, CD's, videos and seminars. Why are we not taking advantage? Because we SETTLE! BECAUSE WE ARE LIKE “MOST PEOPLE”!! “But I Am Not Most People™” is a 45-60 minute presentation with real life stories mixed with a few songs that will touch every emotion. For example, I have had many comments from attendees wishing they had heard "the bucket story" years ago. All I can do is agree and wish I had heard it in my twenties. Click on the big red button and hear a sample. Check out www.ButIAmNotMostPeople.com for additional information on this subject.
The songs and stories will touch a nerve, make you laugh and hopefully make you think of changes you can make in your life. You will NOT leave with the same thought process!! Whether you do anything with it is totally up to you. Are you a settler or pioneer? Are you “MOST PEOPLE”? I'm also a songwriter and when I write a song, the listener must feel either mad, sad or glad. If not, I have wasted their time. I feel the same way about my presentation except I want to bring out all three emotions. I want you a little mad at yourself for some of your past thought processes, sad that you may have wasted some time where you could have changed your priorities but most of all, I want you GLAD. Glad that our paths have crossed.
