Choose Success!

By Keynote Speaker Floyd Wickman Here’s something I know for certain:  It takes no more pain to succeed than it does to fail.  You know, I’ve lived both sides of that coin.  I had times in my career where I struggled and times of extraordinary success and I promise you that it takes just as much time, effort and energy to do either.  The key ingredient to success versus failure?  Your CHOICES. CHOOSE to surround yourself by strong, positive productive people.  Nothing can drag you down faster than a “negative Nancy’s” or a “never-had-a-positive-thought Ned.”  Those water cooler dwellers who

The Voices In Your Head…

By Keynote Speaker Floyd Wickman I had some fun this week asking people  on our Facebook team page what words they use to get through tough situations, trying times and rough starts to the day.  “Hot Dog!  Everything’s normal!” has been a saving grace for hundreds of thousands of my students across North America for everything from a cancelled deal to difficult client.  Why?  Because it helps them to focus on the big picture.  And that, my friends, is a very big key to staying on track. Listen, I’m a big fan of perspective.  Of taking a problem that seems
