“Bringing together some of the best in business speakers, topics, and clients in an entirely new and virtual way totally makes sense for our time – and is truly just what audiences are starving for right now. With this kind of project, companies can leverage the excitement and energy of a live, interactive virtual training – and have the bonus of a long-term educational asset that can help their teams pro-actively develop new and important skills and mindsets.”
The Background – Bringing The Empower Series To Life
After presenting for a LifeWave event in Las Vegas in early 2020, Phil instantly connected with their leadership team and Vice President Jim Caldwell.
LifeWave’s leadership team was looking for more and the idea of an in-depth, substantial, spaced series of online training sessions began to take root.
Over the course of several months, Phil – in collaboration with Karen Harris of cmi speaker management – brought together some of the best speakers they know to create a cohesive, connective series where each topic would build on each other to form a multi-part training that would be transformational for how LifeWave distributors do business – especially in what we now know to be a rapidly changing – and often challenging world.
The Common Thread
In putting the series together, the common thread was to enhance and elevate communication skills for the organization’s entire team. When initially developing the series, the world had not yet been jet-propelled into pandemic pandemonium. However, once we found ourselves there, Phil was focused on helping people know what to say, how to say it, how to connect on a higher level, plus the importance of the ability to sell and recruit in a time where sensitivities were at an all-time high became paramount.
Creating The Series
Truly a collaborative effort, each speaker in the series – along with Phil and LifeWave’s teams – took part in the planning and development of the curriculum.
Each speaker sat in on each other’s session so that they had the ability to expertly weave lessons together and deliver message continuity and build on momentum throughout the entire eight-week event.
State of the art technology brought audience members, leadership, and speakers together with elevated chat and Q&A functionality to make engagement and experience seamless and powerful.
The Results
The client, LifeWave, was thrilled at the engagement, skill building, and ability to deliver high quality training and motivation to their team at a time when it was so vitally necessary to adopt new strategies and solutions to communicate and grow.
They saw record growth among their distribution team, and even experienced their highest month of sales volume in company history during our eight weeks together.
Hundreds of people participated in the live events each week and are logging in to re-watch episode after episode. Their response and reactions to each speaker was compelling.
The sessions were recorded and are now in LifeWave’s learning library, providing ongoing advice and support to their distributor network.
Written learning tools and content from various sessions were added to their library to support the curriculum of this empowering 8-week series.
LifeWave took the extra step to have a number of the sessions translated to extend the benefits and reach of this series to their global audience.
