Your Employees (And Candidates) Are On Drugs

This shocking program uncovers the nearly $1 Billion dollar fake “synthetic” urine industry, and it’s damaging impact on every organization during our tragic U.S. opiod crisis.

The impact of this program may not only save entire organizations from legal crises, but can also help prevent yet another drug-related workforce tragedy in our country.

Association Leadership

This powerful program is for all Association, Chapter, Board, Committee, and Chamber leaders who lead volunteers!

Humor in the Workplace: Not Just How, But Why!

Since the recession, companies have been downsized and running trim. Never before have managers and employees been asked to wear so many hats, and do more with less. Therefore, the time to make the workplace FUN AGAIN has never been more important! People are tired of being stressed. People want to be happy, LAUGH, and enjoy their jobs again. The incredible impacts of a fun and positive work environment include less stress, higher morale, lower turnover, and even increased service levels–accomplished with LITTLE or NO costs!! Join international Author/Speaker and business humorist Andy Masters in this entertaining program illustrating easy and inexpensive ways to create a fun working environment, while sharing success stories of how companies have launched a RE-ENERGIZED corporate culture in this new global economy!

New Economy Leadership

This eye-opening, must-see program for all levels of HR leadership is based on the 5th book “Things LEADERS Say: A Daily Guide to Help Every Leader Empower & Inspire“, from award-winning author and international speaker Andy Masters. Leaders now face new pressures to produce more with less, which unfortunately leads many to fall into the “do-it-all-myself” trap. However, a “Control Freak” corporate culture is one of the most dangerous and damaging to any organization. Leaders who don’t effectively delegate certainly bring about stress, burnout, turnover, and rising health care costs–not to mention taking time and attention away from the most important projects and responsibilities. However, even deeper, a lack of leadership through empowering squelches employee development, negatively impacts succession planning, and even causes a direct “negative ROI” impact to each organization through an ineffective use of human resources. Enjoy this powerful keynote program which illustrates what organizations should do to develop & empower millennials and all future leaders–and how to avoid the damaging impacts of organizations which don’t.

College Customer Service

Andy’s 2019 goal is simple: Bring “World Class Customer Service” to as many college campuses as possible! With widespread budget cuts and drops in state funding, colleges across the country are more dependent than ever on tuition revenue and increased enrollment for survival. Therefore, it’s never been more important for the student (the customer) to enjoy their campus experience so they return the following semester, and tell other students (other customers) about their experience.

This important program is based on Andy’s award-winning book “Kiss Your Customer“, and illustrates how to apply proven customer service principles at all levels of staff, faculty, and administration–without sacrificing academic integrity.

Importantly, concepts include all “internal” and “external” customers which every department on campus serves. Andy also shares success stories from colleges across the country who have embraced this “student as customer” philosophy, decreasing customer frustration and dissatisfaction, while enhancing a positive “word-of-mouth” reputation within the community.

In this era of social media, texting, and college online review sites–customer service has NEVER been more important in the history of higher education.

“Andy spoke at the first employee meeting we have ever had with all shifts attending simultaneously in the 35 year history of our plant and he made it UNFORGETTABLE. He took the “Everyone Leads” theme we had previously decided on and melded his “Things Leaders Say” presentation into the day seamlessly. Our workforce and executive leadership were highly impressed with his lessons on leadership and humor. Our people are still talking about his “ice cream making story” (go ahead, ask him about it).”
