	My Name Is Inigo Montoya... You killed my father. Prepare to die! How many of us are as clear about our mission as Inigo? He knew exactly what he was doing, how he was doing it, and why he was so driven to do it. That clarity of life mission is one of the reasons why so many people say his character stood out from the entire cast of great characters in the movie, The Princess Bride. (It was also the foundation of his perseverance, motivation, resilience and ultimate success!) In this keynote, I’ll take you through the 5 layers of differentiation and I’ll show you how the deepest levels shape your perception of yourself and how they are the true source of your power and the results you create.
	Differentiation-Based Leadership The link between your sales, your branding and you! This keynote is fun, engaging, motivating and useful! It teaches audience members a simple formula called '1thoughtbranding' for finding the strongest and most differentiating market message for their business, product or service. This is the common denominator that connects leadership in sales and branding to personal leadership. Especially in these uncertain economic times, companies need leadership more than ever. With this presentation, audiences walk away with the tools to establish market leadership and the personal motivation to drive it home.
