Motivational Speakers

"If your paycheck only rents their time, what gets their heart?" This paraphrase from Peter Drucker has inspired Jan Carothers for over 14 yeas to explore and discover for her clients what causes people to make the long journey, to go way beyond where others would stop.

Her energetic presentation style and personal connection with client hopes and goals "inspires people to action, to create more with less." Through lively keynotes and seminars for business and non-profit organizations, she incites and encourages participants to keep reaching up to extraordinary performance.

Would you like an environment of loyalty, initiative, commitment, and wild-eyed willingness?
What if your people were energetically seeking results that really matter, with less?
What do the best non-profits know and do that everyone else could apply, but often don't?
In times of tightened resources and greater need for excellence in every aspect of our endeavors, now is the time to adapt the secrets of organizations that know how to produce more with less. In a body of work that pulls together what she has discovered and tested in over 25 years experience in non-profit leadership and business management, Jan maps out the strategies of gaining the best with less.

Jan works with leaders and groups to become "employers and suppliers of choice" in their fields so they can attract and keep the very best people - whether as employees, volunteers, board members or customers.
