Light up your audience with ideas, energy, and fun…
“The word ‘creative’ doesn’t even begin to describe Don The Idea Guy.
A few words that do come to mind are: wow, amazing, brilliant, funny, genuine, friendly, and Oh-my-goodness-how-does-he-do-that?
As both The Idea Guy and a professional speaker, Don delivers the best ideas, the best answers, the best advice and the most imaginative solutions on the planet. Hire him for his ideas. Then hire him AGAIN because those ideas really work!”
~ Michelle Joyce, Professional Speaker Agent to Renowned Keynote Speakers

Specialty Presentations Include…
BeanStorming : Using Creativity and Caffeine to Brew-Up Brilliant Ideas
This session shares Don’s personal discovery that creativity and coffee are inherently linked. Nothing generates ideas and builds rapport like sitting across from a customer and sharing a cup of coffee. Participants will learn how to put the common grounds of these creativity+coffee traits into action, as well as the “7 Rules of BeanStorming.”
Building A Personal Brand : Become “THE” Expert At What You Do
Perfect for the challenges facing ‘commodity’ salespeople who think price is all their customers care about. If you’re selling something that appears to be the exact same offering as every one of your other competitors, your personal brand may be the only thing that sets you apart and gives you an edge. If you don’t have a personal brand that increases your perceived value to the client, all you have left to talk about is price.
The “Why Bother?” Seminar on Social Media
Everybody and their brother (and their brother’s cat) is talking about social media. Friends, Fans, Followers, Tweets, Snaps… where does it end? (it doesn’t). There are thousands of people, books, and websites all giving lessons on social media How To but no one is talking about what everyone is really wondering: WHY BOTHER? (Until now, that is!) Don The Idea Guy will show your audience how to use social media for effective prospecting, customer and industry research, demonstrating authority and knowledge, and delivering value. Social media is a terrible place to make a sale, but it’s a great place to make a positive impression.

Testimonial
Don The Idea Guy spoke at our association Fall Seminar.
Don spent a great deal of time with our association leadership, learning about our industry and ensuring the content of his keynote seminar would be perfect for our members. This was a great help to me as the meeting planner, as I wanted to be sure the information presented would be relevant to our bowling center operators.
Don simply nailed the presentation! Our member feedback was not only that they liked the information, but that they took away multiple ideas that could be implemented in their businesses immediately.
Beyond the great information, Don was energetic, open-minded and professional.
The time he spent with our members went above and beyond the speaking fee. Don really did his research and added his own personal touch, which was so appreciated.
