"Walter, just wanted to drop you a note to say thank you for the great job you did at our 2005 Fall Conference in September. Our Fall Conference has been held for almost 30 years, featuring some of the top names on the speaking circuit. After you presentation, I had a number of long-time conference veterans tell me that you were the best speaker they had ever seen. Having been involved with the conference for the last 14 years, I would have to agree with them. Thanks for being the highlight of our weekend."

VP of Education and CU Development,

"Walter′s message is definitely one that all of our employees need to hear. The message was right on target!!"

“Walter Bond gives a humble, dynamic and humorous well-paced program that keeps attendees riveted to the edge of their seats when they’re not almost sliding off from laughter. Sharing his own life experience, opening our eyes to our own life’s parallels and ′how to’s′ was an incredible experience for all our attendees. Walter may have been a former NBA player turned professional speaker, but his program is a ′slam dunk′ no matter how you lay it up! Please let me know if there’s anything else I can do to expand upon the pleasure our breakout attendees experienced with Walter’s dynamic program! I see GREAT things in his future and made some life altering decisions for my own ′off season′ as a result of participating in his program. For that, our family is very grateful!"

Most important, his message had value for everyone in the audience. He was, without a doubt, the hit of the conference."

"I recently had the opportunity to hear Walter speak at a Conference in Las Vegas. I have to say he was the best speaker there! Not only did he hold your attention and make you laugh, his insight was right on! I′m so glad I got the chance to hear him and look forward to receiving his newsletter."

“You promised to deliver and you did! Your presentation to our members was truly outstanding. Our members ′got′ your message and enjoyed your humor, style, and poise.

We were impressed with your versatility and ease of delivery. If you have not heard Walter Bond speak, I would highly recommend you have him at your next event.

Whether it’s providing the motivation for a new product launch, to accomplish sales goals, or help a team come together, former NBA star Walter Bond is passionate about sharing his “31 Truths to Boost Peak Performance” with his audience.

Drawing on lessons he learned in the NBA and as an entrepreneur, Bond challenges participants to perform at their peak to produce more and earn more.

ACCOUNTABILITY

No One Can Stop You, But You
Does your organization have a culture of accountability? When something goes wrong, does everyone start pointing fingers and making excuses? How much more productive would your organization be if everyone took responsibility for their mistakes and shortcomings and continuous improvement was a team effort?

Walter Bond delivers a solid message of personal accountability, overcoming adversity, power of confidence and pursuit of excellence to the highest degree. Your organization will be rocked with enthusiasm, inspired to work as a team and motivated to achieve to the highest level regardless of the stock market, mortgage crisis or credit crunch.

This extraordinarily popular program helps audience members to point the finger at themselves in a fun and safe way. When your audience leaves, they will know they have been Bonded by Mr. Accountability. They’ll return to their careers with the motivation and skills to take responsibility for their own continuous improvement.

Are You Still Unstoppable?
Has the culture of accountability in your organization kept growing as fast as it did right after Walter’s first keynote? When you want Mr. Accountability to rekindle the fires of enthusiasm for personal responsibility, book Walter for this encore performance.

With fresh stories and engaging analogies, Walter introduces new techniques that strengthen every member of your team, as well as proven strategies that integrate accountability even more deeply into your operations—leaving your attendees motivated, inspired, and ready to take sustained action.

LEADERSHIP

Leaders: Get Out of The Way!
Think about it for a moment—have you ever met a person that enjoys being bossed around? The most common form of leadership is micro-management—which is destructive, expensive and an organizational buzz kill. Most leaders micro-manage because they have never been sufficiently trained on “how to lead.”

In this program, Walter tells how to turn the destructive dangers of micro-management around with the fundamentals of leadership. Leaders learn how to empower employees to own and be accountable for what they do. As a result, employees feel engaged, inspired and motivated, and leaders go on to create and grow a culture of accountability that builds retention and productivity for years to come—which is nothing but good news for your bottom line!

SALES

Sell It Like You Mean It!
Whether you’re looking to get your sales team’s year off to a fast start, give it a mid-year jolt, or fire it up to finish the year with momentum, this program is full of principles that will empower your sales professionals to be re-energized with passion, desire and commitment regardless of their success levels. You might have a team of high producers that have flat-lined or maybe your whole team needs to crank it up. Either way, you need your sales force to outthink and outperform the competition and win big in the sales game.

Mr. Accountability believes that some sales people are born but most of them are made. So Walter teaches every member of your team how to overcome objections, incorporate storytelling, and establish him or herself as an expert. As a result, they stop selling and start influencing your customers to buy! This program will inspire your sales team to produce at the next level.

EMPLOYEE ENGAGEMENT

Dominate Right Where You Are
Do your employees enthusiastically pursue the pinnacle of excellence? More likely they’re just looking to reach the next level—just chasing their next promotion.

Let Walter prove that the key to getting ahead lies in their current situation. He explains, “If you dominate right now, right where you are, your superiority will become so obvious that new opportunities and promotions will chase you!”

Inspired by Mr. Accountability, every attendee will find new ways to own and pursue excellence in what they do. As a result, employees return to work truly engaged and motivated to attain higher levels of productivity.
