Magnetic Communication for Networking… & Beyond

Networking can fill our hearts with dread. I invent new ways of sweating when it comes to networking situations and I don’t think I’m the only one!

Wouldn’t it be way better if you could magnetize people to you? So that when you walk into a room without any colleagues or friends present, you are still able to have the best time and thus attract others to you? This is why I wrote this session. I have taken all the good and bad experiences I have collected over 25 years of being paid to create engagement within groups of strangers and summarized them in this talk.

Creating magnetic communication usually means changing the way you think about these situations. And then creating rules or guidelines to help you stay on track.

This session outlines Roger’s Rules for creating magnetic communication which leads to magnetic engagement which leads to you being far happier and more effective when connecting with others in these situations. Which makes networking and communication much more valuable for you and your organization.

HOW TO CREATE ENGAGEMENT

This session looks at what engagement is, why we want it, and how to CREATE engagement. This session walks the talk: it not only discusses engagement but also demonstrates how to create it at work and in your life.

Engagement can be measured and the results are staggering.
Data from Gallup, Harvard, Global Trends in Engagement etc, is showing us how a little focus on engagement can turbocharge bottomline results, whether those results are increased productivity, increased profit, better communication, stronger team bonds, better learning and retention etc…

Engagement is the secret sauce that makes your work and life magic.

Participants will walk away with tangible tools that will inspire them to be more productive, creative, and successful in their work and life.

PRESSURE COOKER WITH CONFIDENCE

I’ve spent my life walking into stressful rooms where I wanted to do magnificent things but I found it hard to do normal things, like breathe. Have you had that experience? This session demonstrates how to go from “I can’t breathe” to “I’m regularly doing magnificent things.

Using techniques honed from decades of acting, combined with new science about how to best be human and a dash of current engagement strategies, Pressure Cooker Confidence, explores how to create internal power in moments where humans typically feel powerless. Learning to create internal power has massive benefits for the individual. It also creates benefits in the organizations where these individuals work. We focus on creating your own personal list of rules to guide better behavior and motivate transformation in your life and at work. 

LEARNING OBJECTIVES:

  1. Learn and apply Roger’s Rules: Own the Room, Fight to Be Positive, Get Comfortable Being Uncomfortable…
  2. Understand the science behind how your brain works while under extreme stress and gain tips and tricks to overcome fear, anxiety, and nervousness
  3. Learn to be a bigger, better, more powerful version of yourself while under stress.

“Roger is one of the best speakers I have ever seen!” (psst, we hear this a lot)

THE POWER, PURPOSE, & PROFIT OF PLAY

I’m on a mission to take play out of the gutter and put it into the spotlight where it belongs. While we say that we honor play, the proof is in our actions. And when important things need to be discussed and decided, play is sent outside to the playground while the adults stay inside to do the important work. That attitude needs to be turned on its head and this session does exactly that.

Learn how central to human existence play is. Learn what happens to humans when we discard play. Learn how to achieve your goals using playfulness as a guide. And do all that while playing to learn about play… which is truly the best way to learn for humans. After this surprisingly profound session, people often come up to me with tears in their eyes as they talk about their conflicted relationship to play and how they now will act differently with their children, their spouse and/or their colleagues. Play is transformative. Play is revolutionary. And this revolutionary, transformative power is waiting for you, your family, your friends, your teams, your organization…

LEARNING OBJECTIVES

  1. Gain tangible strategies to help incorporate play & a playful mindset into the most important aspects of work & life.
  2. Design your work environment, training sessions, & meetings to increase knowledge retention, encourage creativity, promote wellness, & much more.
  3. Learn to reverse society’s concept of play so that you can use play to create power.
  4. Absorb successful case studies where play made all the difference.

“Extremely impressed with Roger Haskett. Great communicator! One of the best speakers I have ever seen!” (psst, see testimonial above 🤣)

HOW TO CREATE ENGAGEMENT IN THE VIRTUAL WORLD

Data from Gallup, Harvard, Global Trends in Engagement etc, is showing us how a little focus on engagement can turbocharge bottom-line results like increased productivity & profit, better communication, stronger team bonds, deeper learning, retention etc…

The Virtual Engagement Conundrum: Engagement is more important than ever in a virtual world… but it’s harder than ever! 

Wouldn’t it be better to find ways to be more present in online meetings and to create in others this engaged presence? This session explores ways to create engagement, both virtual and live, that will benefit your work, your teams, your organization and also your family, your friends and loved ones.

What our Clients Say Testimonials

TESTIMONIAL
Gabrielle Spanton SITE Canada President and Managing Partner GAB&CO Consultants
"The pleasure of seeing Roger Haskett at the SITE global conference on stage, and he was so dynamic. We just loved his cartwheels. We love the way he, for three days, he was able to engage the audience and create a level of excitement that you don't often see in an emcee. And we also love the way that he pulled it all together after each speaker and give us thoughts to ponder on and think about later. And then surprisingly, we were all hit with something in our industry that took us all for a bit of surprise. "And so many companies had to change the way that they were doing business. Roger, what he's done for a SITE Canada is remarkable. He's in a very short period of time, changed the way he's able to present and bring us really great digital virtual content. "And what is most impressive is that energy that he's able to portray on stage translates in the virtual environment and bonds everybody together. "He's quite remarkable. If you haven't checked him out, I highly recommend that you do. A dynamic speaker."
