Typically delivered to leadership, business, or marketing events, this topic can be customized for any audience.

Knowledge is not power. You may know everything, but without influence you can’t do anything.

If knowledge were enough then watching a video on parenting would produce perfect children, attending a job training summit would guarantee you employment, and reading a business book would be all you need to run a successful business.

What’s missing?

Influence.

Influence is how great leaders:

• Attract top talent to build world-class teams
• Motivate their teams to dream big and execute
• Build powerful brands
• Generate new revenue
• Create sustainable growth

Many believe influence is a gift, a natural talent you either have, or don’t. In a program that will permanently shift the perspective of the audience members, Josh Steimle—creator of The 7 Systems of Influence framework, TEDx speaker, veteran entrepreneur, and author of over 300+ articles in more than two dozen publications like Fortune, Time, Forbes, Inc., and Entrepreneur—exposes the reality that influence is based on laws as stable and timeless as the laws of physics that allow a car to move when the right systems are put in place.

Highlights and takeaways include:

• The power of The 7 Systems of Influence: What they are, how they work together, and how they will transform individuals, organizations, and everyone they touch.
• Your Core Identity: Why it all starts by identifying your values and roles.
• The two sides of influence: persuasion vs. manipulation.
• The Genius Zone: How to make strategy easy.
• Your Personal Brand Tagline: A tool to help you focus.
• How to create a 90-day Influence & Impact Plan to achieve your biggest dreams and goals.

Join Josh to learn how to see your world through a completely new lens that replaces old assumptions about how to get what you want.

For an audience interested in the Chief Marketing Officer and other marketing roles.

In 2015, Josh Steimle interviewed 30 CMOs from companies like Target, Spotify, The Home Depot, PayPal, and GE to write his book Chief Marketing Officers at Work, named one of The Top Five Business Books of 2016 by Success Magazine.

Josh was already collecting the ideas that would become The 7 Systems of Influence and these interviews provided Josh with an interesting finding, that regardless of their varied backgrounds all these CMOs had one thing in common–empathy. That commonality would eventually find its way to The 7 Systems as part of System 7: Love.

Empathy, understanding a customer better than he understands himself, is what enables a CMO to make accurate marketing decisions quickly, when speed is required. It’s what Steve Jobs spoke of when he said “A lot of times, people don’t know what they want until you show it to them.” That isn’t to disparage research. The CMO should not and cannot rely on empathy alone to guide them, without market research. Likewise, no amount of market research can entirely replace empathy for the customer.

In this program, Josh Steimle—creator of The 7 Systems of Influence framework, TEDx speaker, veteran entrepreneur, and author of over 300+ articles in more than two dozen publications like Fortune, Time, Forbes, Inc., and Entrepreneur—shows how empathy, combined with passion and good will, and working in harmony with the other Systems of Influence, gives the CMO the tools he or she needs to lead growth.

Highlights and takeaways include:

• The power of The 7 Systems of Influence: What they are, how they work together, and how they will transform individuals, organizations, and everyone they touch.
• The 7th System: Love. Why without it no marketing initiative can reach its full potential, and how when it’s present it’s almost impossible to fail.
• Why influential CMOs have 61% longer job tenure, and how CMOs can use The 7 Systems to increase their own influence,
• How to develop empathy, even if you’re not feelin’ it.

This content is most appropriate for events focused on education or learning.

Whether you’re in the business of educating children or adults, there are four essential elements upon which your success will depend:

1. Exposure. Exposure is essential to education because we cannot learn something we don’t even know exists.
2. Inspiration. But exposure by itself is not enough. Nobody can truly be forced to learn, they must be inspired to accept what is taught, or to teach it to themselves.
3. Access. Once an individual is exposed to an idea and inspired to learn more, he or she must be given access to resources and tools.
4. Freedom. Finally, for true, deep learning to take place, individuals must have freedom. An artificial, forced approach to education turns humans into robots.

In this eye-opening program, Josh Steimle—creator of The 4 Essentials of Education, TEDx speaker, veteran entrepreneur, and author of over 300+ articles in more than two dozen publications like Fortune, Time, Forbes, Inc., and Entrepreneur—shows audience members how to improve their own learning experience, as well as that of those they are responsible to educate, through and understanding of the fundamental laws of learning.

Highlights and takeaways include:

• The power of The 4 Essentials of Education: What they are, why each one is critical, and how they transform the learning experience for educators and students.
• How to add The 4 Essentials to your educational program, whether it’s at home with your kids, at your school, or in a corporate environment.
• How a focus on The 4 Essentials will improve quality of education while saving time and money.
• Why less time spent in a traditional classroom environment leads to better learning.

Educational efforts by parents, educators, and businesses often fall short because they utilize only one or two of The 4 Essentials of Education. When all four are solidly in place, then real learning will take place, and students will learn to love learning.

This content is most appropriate for events focused on education or learning.

Context-based learning has been the dominant form of education for all human history, except for the relatively short period since the Industrial Revolution. As developed economies shifted from farming to manufacturing, parents left the home to work and needed a place to put their children. Factories needed a steady supply of literate yet compliant workers. Schools as we know them today solved both these problems. However, the needs of today’s economy and the desires many parents have for their children has outstripped the capabilities of the traditional classroom with its one-size-fits-all approach.

Some schools have already introduced elements of context-based education in their programs. One can point to many examples of charter schools that focus on technology, science, or the arts.

But could we take it further? Are there children who need a more immersive experience within a context that excites them in order to learn essential life skills and progress academically?

In this eye-opening program, Josh Steimle—creator of The 4 Essentials of Education, TEDx speaker, veteran entrepreneur, and author of over 300+ articles in more than two dozen publications like Fortune, Time, Forbes, Inc., and Entrepreneur—shows audience members how principles of context-based education can improve learning within home, school, and corporate environments.

Highlights and takeaways include:

• The power of context-based education: What are its essential parts and how they transform the learning experience for educators and students.
• How to add context-based education to your educational program, whether it’s at home with your kids, at your school, or in a corporate environment.
• How context-based education produces superstar athletes, musicians, and scientists.
• How pairing context-based education with self-directed learning unleashes the potential of children.
• How context-based education helps those with learning challenges.

Come learn how context-based education can unlock the potential of students of all types, at home, at school, and in the workplace.
