Here are some of Sean’s most popular Keynote Sessions STOP COMPLAINING! START GROWING! (CAN INCLUDE A BOOK-SIGNING) People complain too much. It’s that simple. But it doesn’t have to be this way! The most successful leaders in history all have a few characteristics in common — one of these is that instead of complaining about the way things are, they concentrated on how to make things the way they wanted them to be. If we can find a way to stop complaining, we begin to grow. When we grow, we get more motivated. When we get motivated, we are more productive.
