"As
the International President of the Global Speakers Federation
I have seen many speakers present in the last 12 months around
the world. Bob "Idea man" Hooey is one of the
most outstanding speakers I have seen and worked with. He
truly walks his talk and is a fountain of ideas and innovation
in his presentation on stage and in his dealings off stage. I
recommend Bob to anyone who is seeking a dynamic speaker who will
bring something interesting, thought provoking, and fun every
time he gets up to speak." I've seen some that were well run and returned a good investment on the time and money invested in the meeting and in the people who attended the meeting. Unfortunately, I've also seen many that could be described as dismal failures; or at best delivered a mediocre result and a minimal return for all the well-meaning hard work of the meeting planner and their teams. Failures, that, with careful planning, could have been simply avoided. I often found myself in a coaching role for new event/meeting planners who called to book me as a keynote speaker or to lead a breakout session, seminar or workshop. I found myself teaching the same tips and techniques as I sought to help them create a successful event and lead their respective teams. I
also found myself in formal coaching and consulting roles to assist
in the planning process. "Perhaps,
if I created a process or resource that would help?"
I've compared notes with my counterparts in the Canadian Association of Professional Speakers and the National Speakers Association and compiled and developed a few ideas that have helped our clients ensure their time and investment was well spent. I share them with you here for your use in making your next event more successful. While serving as President of our CAPS-Vancouver (BC) Chapter for two years (1999 & 2000), I worked closely with our team to ensure our meetings were informative, profitable, fun, and well run. This commitment to our membership's interest and business growth allowed us to more than triple our membership during our term. CAPS National recognized our success by awarding us Chapter of the Year in 2000. I know high quality meetings were a strong foundation for our success. They still are! I brought some of that focus to my terms on the CAPS National Board and my involvement in CAPS and NSA workshops and convention teams. While serving as Lt. Governor Education and Training (1996-97) and later as District 21 Governor (1997-98) for Toastmasters International, (D21 had 195 clubs and over 3500 Toastmasters in BC), our leadership training meetings and our fun-filled, creative, educational, motivational, value-added conferences were the focal point of our growth, success and service to our Toastmasters members across the province. I've had the privilege of speaking for and assisting Toastmaster conference teams across North America for over a decade now and find this to be true in the meetings of merit. My primary focus in this special resource site is to offer creative, practical, easily-used ideas that work and techniques that will help you and your event planning team succeed.
I’m available on a 'limited' basis as an event/ meeting
planner’s coach or creative consultant in creating, planning
and delivering a successful event. Ideas

Perhaps, you have overcome a challenge or have a success secret to share with your meeting fellow planners? I'd be happy to include it here, and give you credit of course. Drop me a note at: Successful Meetings
I wish you the best in all your efforts to train, inform, inspire
and assist those in your care, to be more productive and fulfilled
on and off the job as a result of your efforts. I recognize the
great amount of work necessary to put together a successful meeting,
training session or conference, regardless of the size and scope.
