Sheryl with Survivor Entrance for FUN

Sheryl with Survivor Entrance for FUN

Sheryl can add a new skill to her resume!  She’s a RAP SONG WRITER!  WHAT?

“I love speaking at networking events and I always arrive early to watch how people approach each other and try to introduce themselves.  Often times I am hit with brochures and get to pick and choose from a fistful of cards displayed for me.  So I wrote a poem and went into a studio to have it put into a rap song.  It’s now used as the opening and I have another one for the closing to help with REAL tips to do it right!”  If FUN, funny, and REAL.  Enjoy! www.youtube.com/cspsheryl

It’s a difficult job finding the BEST speaker for your upcoming training or convention need. All eyes are on YOU the meeting planner long after the speaker has left. So how can you guarantee success? Book a CSP. Sheryl Nicholson is a Certified Speaking Professional which puts her in the ranks of the top professionals. She’s been asked to shorten or lengthen her talk due to time restraints put on the meeting planner and a CSP understands how to be flexible without it impacting the audience. They understand it’s not about the speaker, it’s all about the Priviledge of the Platform. She coaches others who want to have powerful presentation skills about authenticity and connecting with impact. And she knows how to open an event with fun – Example – her Survivor entrance that gets the audience to focus on what they can do in any tough economy – not to survive but THRIVE and then live SIGNIFICANTLY for their businesses and family.

Innovation Express for Kids Brings Finalists to USF

by Sheryl Nicholson on February 8, 2011

innovation express creator Anna

I love Occam Razor’s philosophy that sometimes the best answers are the easiest ones. I’m a big beleiver in the power of creativity and in my Time Management Seminars, I’ve created a page for our personalized daytimer that allows you to write down one creative idea a day.

My Patent Attorney son taught me years ago that the inventive millionaires of tomorrow aren’t the ones who start from stratch but those who look at an idea and “tweak it” to make it better. After all, remember what the old baby bottle looked like? Put a hole in the middle so a baby can hold it themself and walah…a new invention.

So I am so excited to see my granddaughter’s idea  of an invention competition for kids http://www.innovationexpress.org to where it is today and it was highlight in the news at USF in Tampa . When was the last time you moved an idea out of your mind, to paper, and then to reality? And how do YOU support others to do the same?

Doers or Doners?

May 13, 2010

I recently met a group of people who were so excited about networking with “historic” figures who had once been successful in business. I think it’s great to attend and learn but my question is…do you want to hang out with “doners” or “doers?” In today’s fast moving environment – it doesn’t do much for me to listen to “Experts” who talk about how they succeeded 20, 10 or even 5 years ago. I want to know what are they doing TODAY to advance their businesses

Your Best Present?

January 28, 2010

Hi! I recently attended a networking event where we talked about the best gift we can give to clients and I really liked a couple so as your coach, I thought I would share two with you.
1. Make a list of the Top Ten People You Should Know I have thousands of people in my database and it would really benefit my clients to send them a top ten list of people who I know who are resources of knowlege, supplies, etc, that could benefit them. These are people who have a high ethical standard and sincerely care about the best interest in others. Why not do the same?
2. Send a Top Ten Questionnaire. Every year I do this to help my clients and attendees to focus on what they’vd accomplished this past year. It’s a great way to feel confident to tackle new skills THIS next year!
