Jim Bandrowski Rocks 'em in Nashville:

"Jim, thank you for an outstanding job speaking at the annual conference of the National Service Alliance (NSA) in Nashville in May 2013! As in many service industries, our members are challenged with how to deliver higher service levels at lower prices. In your session, our members actively engaged in using your Wave Thinking method to amp up their marketing messages, clarify their offerings, and develop innovative strategies. You also helped our association by showing us we lacked a clear message on our website to recruit new members. Using the exercise sessions in the conference combined with some Wave Thinking back at our office, we will rethink our branding message and develop a clear offering statement. So many of our members commented on how well they liked your session, so we are extremely pleased with the experience and look forward to implementing your approaches."

"Jim, I wanted to thank you for your kickoff speech for our management team's two-day conference. You perfectly 'set the table' for us (as you say) to Create and Implement Breakthrough Strategies. We immediately used your Wave Thinking approach to brainstorm our core competency, generate a number of new business opportunities, and create teams to work on them. Thank you again for a stimulating, insightful, and fun presentation."

"The Intellectual and Emotional Wave concepts Jim introduced at our meeting moved beyond "out-of-the-box thinking" to a tangible, actionable process we can all adopt to unleash great ideas. One audience member said she would implement Wave Thinking next week in their company planning meetings, and raved about the power of this new perspective. Jim clearly tailored his speech to the candy industry, kept the audience engaged, was great to work in the conference planning process, and made everything easy for me as the organizer, including the last minute change in stage time!"

Cindy Brooks
2013 Western Candy Conference Chairperson

 

"My CEO Group rated you 4.9 (out of 5) on Content and 4.9 on Delivery, with a 100% recommendation for other members. They said you are "one of the best."

"Jim's enthusiasm and fast pace makes for an experience that excites your leadership. We have a clear, focused direction built on an unusually powerful way of thinking that he continues to perfect. Highly recommended, especially if your business is flat lining. Teaching ambitious leaders how to think better is an incredible gift, and Jim is the best."
