What We Do
Julian is hired by organizations and associations interested in
impacting their audiences in any of the following ways:
Implementation
Too often conferences are held, excitement builds, the energy is
high, and everyone leaves with a list of projects and the best
intentions of completing them. But on Monday morning there is a
backlog in the "inbox", a long list of phone calls to be
returned, a pile of mail to be sorted, as well as the usual
schedule of events that occurs each Monday even when you HAVEN'T
been away at a conference.
And so notebooks are filed in
corners on dusty shelves to be forgotten along with the others
from past conferences. A few of the easier action items are
implemented but the energy from the event quickly fades, the
momentum is lost, and the energy and excitement dissipate like a
morning fog.
It doesn't have to happen this way. I could be more like
this...
Inspiring a Work Force or Downline to
Embrace Risk or Change
The world today is changing fast and in order to stay abreast an
organization needs to behave more like an entrepreneurial
start-up and less like a cumbersome bureaucracy. If you are
ready to have your organization embrace the opportunity that
always accompanies change, if you are eager to have your people
experience change as the exciting opportunity that it is, then
you need to feel the power of what Julian Franklin can deliver.
Accomplishment
Julian has keynote called "Confessions of Mega-Achievers" where
he covers the seven attributes that super achievers all have in
common. It isn't about intelligence, or aptitude, or even
burning the candle at both ends. Achievement is actually more
about waking up to the fact that we are not the same junior-high
kids we once were and the limits and advantages we had at that
time no longer apply, even though most of us still live like
they do.
Organizational Productivity
Life balances itself. Most of us don't need to "find more
balance" in our lives. What we need to do is decide HOW we want
to balance our lives. The most successful people, the happiest
people in the world are the ones who understand that there is no
guilt in working hard and putting in extra hours when it is
needed.
There is a feel-good myth rapidly spreading that seems
to encourage a disregard for organizational productivity in
exchange for whimsical sloth all in the name of "balance".
Julian Franklin delivers an honest, humorous, and exciting talk
called "Balance is Bunk" where he points out that the fastest,
more secure path to happiness hinges on periods of explosive
productivity followed by the (then) well-deserved periods of
rest and renewal.
Laughing Matters
Based on Julian's years of experience as a teacher in some of
Texas' toughest classrooms, coupled with his decades of
experience as a comedic performer, this program brings together
the importance of a joyful environment. We can't control all
aspects of our work environment and we can't always control who
we work with, but we always have control over our sense of humor
about what we face every day.
Laughter opens the mind to
possibility and a joyful work place is vital to retaining top
performers.
Your people will be left with cheeks sore from smiling, hands
tired from scribbling ideas, and souls invigorated and excited
about getting back to work.
Kid Control (a Teacher In-Service or Staff
Development)
Julian Franklin, behavior change expert and the author of Kid
Control, has combined years of practical classroom
experience with thousands of hours of thorough research in
Psychology and Human Behavior to create a very profound program
on classroom behavior modification. This program is advanced
enough to provide valuable insights to your teachers dealing
with extreme behavior issues in their classrooms but practical
enough to apply to each and every staff and faculty member.
This talk is hilariously funny, compassionately blunt, and
empowering in its simplicity and practicality. Your faculty will laugh and learn. But
above all, they will leave with the tools they need to more
effectively change the lives they've been charged with teaching.
