Brian Hicks, Creator of "The Tinderbox Tapes"
It’s been said that Thomas Edison dreamed of creating a new world & then he created it. Each of us dreams of creating a new world - if not on the scale of Thomas Edison - certainly for ourselves and our family. Most of us, however, don’t know how to do that. Edison had the surprisingly simple answer, which we’ll explore in this talk. In this program, Brian encourages you to astound yourself each & every day and remind you that astounding yourself is not as hard as it sounds.
Known across the country for his high-energy, humor-filled presentations, Brian’s signature blend of delivery, content, and practical application leaves his audiences ready to take action! He speaks from his own leadership experience and what he has gleaned through his interaction with some of the country’s most successful business leaders.
He spent 20 years with the Fortune 500 insurer, Aflac - 15 of them as a sales manager and top training instructor/manager. In fact, for the last 11 years he was responsible for training sales associates and managers in two of the company’s top state operations (Tennessee & Alabama/West Florida), helping to lead the Alabama/West Florida group to become the #1 producing sales operation in the company in 2007 & 2008, with combined sales in those 2 years topping $80 million!
And he knows about changing organizational culture. From 1995 to 1998, Brian was the lead trainer in the effort to convert Aflac’s field force to a paperless insurance application system, called SmartApp®. At that time, most of the company’s independent agents couldn’t even type, and most people predicted the initiative would fail! Yet the effort was so successful that the system was recognized by The Smithsonian Institute, and Brian became known as "The Billy Graham of SmartApp®."
Believing that the organization cannot grow without growing the individuals in it, Brian seeks to develop long-lasting relationships to impact both individuals and the whole as they work to exceed even their most ambitious goals.
Reservations received after the deadline will be charged a late fee.
