From the Broadcast Booth to the Boardroom: Why Being “ON” Changes Everything

Kraig’s Keynote: In His Own Words
What formats are available?
45-60 Minutes
One hour will feel like ten minutes. It’s fast, fun and unforgettable. Kraig’s powerful message includes a never-before-seen interactive element tying directly to your people and how they see themselves impacting the organization. Kraig’s story guarantees they’ll view their career through a new lens, seeing their own story as a connective way up life’s ladder. When Kraig walks off the stage, they’ll be driven to deliver bigger influence with clarity on the value of building a magnetic brand that gets people’s attention. Somebody will own a coveted “green shoe” and you can include Kraig’s book signing experience as well.
90 Minutes
Add thirty minutes and you’ll see even more live interaction, his dynamic message, stories linked to a career in front of a camera and an opportunity for Q&A that allows people to connect with Kraig. Audience members learn the importance of preparing for the pivot – in life and career – and how it has pushed Kraig to new heights. Included is Kraig’s availability to join your top leaders for dinner the night before or after his talk on the night of your event. Of course, the green shoe finds its way into the whole experience and Kraig will gladly stay and sign copies of his book for even more audience engagement.
2-3 Hours
Need a power-packed morning or a longer post-lunch session that’s a sure home run? This is for you. Kraig’s keynote is superbly choreographed into two parts with a quick break in the middle. Within, you’ll get the option of two interactive “team breakouts” with an immediate follow-up moderated by Kraig or two “leader panels” with Q&A moderated by Kraig that dive into big picture topics affecting your organization, your strategy and goals, and your industry. The green shoe awaits and you’ll also witness an overflow hallway with a long line of eager folks waiting to grab Kraig’s signed book and snap a takeaway photo.
