Motivational Keynote Speaker

Thank you for my freedom.

I had some extra time before I had to return my rental car in Minneapolis the other day. I had just finished speaking at a corporate event and was feeling energized and happy. I honestly felt lucky to be alive on what was a simply beautiful day. I went to the Mall of America near the airport for only a few minutes and then I remembered there was a national cemetery near the rental car return. I knew that paying my respects to those that served our nation was more important than shopping. As I drove through the cemetery, I saw the thousands of white headstones covering the land. The American flags waving in front of many of the stones, were the only things to break the silence. The ground in the distance looked covered in snow but, it was sadly even more stones of those we lost. As I drove by reading some stones, there were recent ones, as well as men that died for our country long before I was born. A man, off in the distance, sat in a folding chair and stared at the stone of a loved one. It could have been his son or daughter that he misses so dearly, that he sits and talks to probably everyday. He brought a tear to my eye. As I drove through the valley of white stone I realized how lucky I am. How lucky WE are to have the freedoms that many people don't have. We have the right to vote yet many don't take the time to. Some crab and complain but don't vote. Some vote but do little else to help the world.

In Detroit, for example, just over 2 out of 10 residents even got off their couch to vote for the latest mayor last week. After the last mayor took the city for millions and went to prison, you'd think people would want to stand up to at least turn the city around. It's like this in every part of our country. We take our freedoms for granted and think someone else will always be there to help. When it doesn't turn out the way we want, we crab and complain or even cause a riot. I find most of my friends that complain about the government, are the same ones that say they didn't vote because they didn't have time. Under the white stones with a single American flag waving above them are men and women that died for our freedom. Died to protect our rights and let us live the life we do. They had the time to do that for us and paid the ultimate price. They had time to fight for us but, some reading this post took more time to watch TV or play online than take 5 minutes it took me to vote. Think about that one for a while.

What are you going to do today? How are you going to help someone? Not just today, everyday? What can you do? It could be simple or extraordinary but do something to help someone. If nothing else, at least vote.

Thank you to all that served our country. Thank you!

Never judge a book by it's cover!

2009-04-13T20:02:00.000-04:00

Hello,

This is an unusual post for me to be sending. I always ask you to visit my site and let you know about what I'm up to. This time is a little different. Someone sent me a video link today that totally amazed me. It's a clip from the TV show "Britain's Got Talent" and a contestant named Susan Boyle. Susan is someone that just by looking at her, you wouldn't think she could do what she claims to do in the video. Not to ruin the video for you but you'll soon understand the true meaning of "Never judge a book by it's cover". Click this link to see her audition: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9lp0IWv8QZY . Her audition reminded me of the same show in 2007 and Paul Potts . Here is his link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=leL4smXXiDU

Not only will these videos amaze you but, I'm sure you'll want to forward these links to your friends. How many employees do you have that haven't let their true potential shine through in their work? How many need just a little encouragement to do better? What does your company do to show their employees that they are appreciated? Are you doing something to motivate everyone, even the people you don't expect much out of or just a chosen few? Are you planning an event that everyone will enjoy? With a golf outing you'll find a good percent of your employees don't golf. With a casino night everyone is as various tables and some don't gamble. They'll show up to make the boss happy and leave. You didn't motivate them at all and you wonder why they don't do better in their jobs. Once again, never judge a book by it's cover. You have many employees in your company that are just waiting to show you their true potential if you only motivate them to do so!!!

I'd love to be the one that motivates your employees as your next event. Call me at 1-800-915-2844. Feel free to visit my site for more information. Enjoy the videos. Thank you for your time.

Best Regards,
John Pullum

Holiday Party Entertainment, Corporate Entertainment, Motivational Keynote Speaker

Corporate Holiday Party Entertainment

Yes, I know it's August but A LOT of companies are already planning their corporate holiday parties / Christmas parties. Many companies book the hall, entertainment, etc. years in advance. Finding the right entertainment is essential if you want your corporate event to go well. So many companies book the hall, food, DJ, etc. before they book the entertainment. Doing this is a BAD idea. There will always be chicken and pasta available for your dinner, the phone book is full of DJs and the flower shops are always looking to do business to make you a beautiful centerpiece. The guests don't rave about the dry chicken, the flowers or the fact the DJ played great music for years to come but they do remember the entertainer or motivational speaker you hired. You can book the corporate entertainment or motivational speaker to kickoff the event or schedule them right after diner. NEVER have them on while your guests are eating because your audience needs to be involved in the experience. Some companies think it's OK to just have anyone or anything entertain their guests. When it's your name behind booking the entertainment for your corporate party you need the BEST. Hiring the wrong entertainment could ruin the evening.

John Pullum is 100% clean, 100% amazing and 100% hilarious. His corporate show takes place on stage and throughout the entire audience as well. Everyone feels like they were a part of the show. He's been entertaining and motivating corporate audiences just like yours for over 20 years.

You already know ... the frustration of having to come up with just the"right" entertainer, Motivational Speaker or Keynote Speaker year after year! And only being able to choose from the same old thing... wouldn't it be great to find a really different entertainer and speaker, one that everyone will enjoy?

Instead of that "OH NO, Not Again" feeling watching yet another magic show, juggler, or comedian that may not be "right", or another DJ or wedding band. Doesn't presenting something that truly is NEW and UNIQUE at your event that your guests will love and have your entire company Thank YOU, sound like a much more rewarding option?

Not to mention the frustration of trying to figure out something that will please everyone? Wouldn't it be great to have a Motivational Keynote Speaker or corporate entertainer everyone, regardless of background, will really enjoy and talk about?

John Pullum offers his Motivational Keynote Speaker presenations as well as his hilarious and amazing interactive Mind Reading Show.

(Yes, John can present the motivational keynote speech at the start of your event and then present his show for the evening's entertainment!)

It's like getting 2 presentations for MUCH LESS than the price of one of some other celebrities! Why hire one person for the evening corporate entertainment and one person for the keynote speech / motivational speech when you can save by hiring just one person, John Pullum!

Harness the goodwill created by bringing a positive program to your event and have increased participation from your group and an awareness that you truly appreciate your employees, clients and business associates.

Why settle for the same old entertainment or speaker repackaged? Your employees, clients, associates and guests deserve the Newest and the Best.

For much less than you might guess, you can have the same type of top quality entertainer and speaker that you may have seen in Las Vegas (but remember, John's presentations are 100% CLEAN!) and join other satisfied clients like; 3M, Bosch Braking Systems, Cingular Wireless, Carrier, Flag Star Bank, Delta USA, Mariner Health Care, Valassis Communications, State Capital Global Law Firm, Temple Shir Shalom, United Agri Products, KFC, Ford Motor Company, Shell Oil and many, many more.

Other television celebrity speakers and entertainers charge $30,000 or more for their presenations. With John you get his presentations for pennies on the dollar compared to some other celebrities. When you book television personality John Pullum, you not only get a TV celebrity appearing at your event, you also get one that will entertain and include your guests in his presentations. - And one more thing NO Hollywood celebrity ego is included! NO crazy demands on the rider either! He's so down to Earth and easy to work with.

John has over 20 years experience educating, motivating and entertaining small and large corporations world-wide!

"Your diligent preparation and attention to detail made my job so much easier. You arrived early and had the sound and lighting checks done before anyone knew you were there. I really didn't have to worry about a thing. I could sit back and enjoy the show along with everyone else. Planning the entertainment was as stress-free as it could possibly be."
