ABOUT

"Preston Poore brings together storytelling, humor, and antidotes with compelling facts that get the audience to engage and take action." - Fortune 500 Executive

Preston's not your average speaker or trainer. Why?

He creates an ENGAGING EXPERIENCE that will accelerate your audience's capabilities and elevate their leadership.

Benjamin Franklin famously said, "tell me, and I forget. Teach me, and I may remember. Involve me, and I learn." Applying this simple yet often overlooked principle, Preston will understand your needs, collaboratively contour relevant solutions and invite the audience on a learning journey. Before, during, and after the event, participants will be inspired and leave with specific personal or organizational action plans.

Preston is an award-winning executive with over 30 years of Fortune 500 experience, including tenures at The Coca-Cola Company, The Hershey Company, and Ralston Purina. On top of that, he's also a small business owner and a John Maxwell Team certified speaker, trainer, and executive coach.

His learnings and lessons are not drawn from the classroom of academic theory but from the crucible of marketplace trenches. Preston shares his hard-earned experience with audiences to help them become the best version of themselves.

"His contribution helped us grow our manager effectiveness scores on the annual Employee Engagement survey." - Consumer Products Industry VP, Organizational Capabilities

Results matter. How those results are achieved matters even more. Why? People are your competitive advantage and the key to your organization's success. If you focus on people and engage them, remarkable results will follow. If you don't, results will lag.

Preston will help you build and equip highly engaged, results-oriented associates or "HEROs," focusing on leadership, communication, and personal/professional development.

"His audiences rightly hang on his every word and his ability to use anecdotes, facilitation, and conceptual thinking is highly developed compared to any global benchmark." - Global Training Expert and Chartered Business Psychologist

How? Through leveraging John Maxwell resources and personal content, Preston will help you create an event roadmap including. . .

  • Pre-event: Preston will schedule a call will key stakeholders to understand what event objectives. Then, he'll contour content to meet your goals. But that's not all! He'll also record two customized videos, one to promote your event and another to thank people for registering. Need a blog or article to promote the event. Preston can do that too!
  • Event: Preston facilitates a learning experience by presenting a story and related principles, breaking the audience into small discussion groups, and then reconvening to debrief the small group discussions. Key takeaways and action items are developed throughout. But that's not all! Preston realizes that participants want to connect with the presenter before and after the event for pictures, autographs, or Q&A. He will work with you to determine the best way to add value to your team. Do you have a VIP or top performer that you want to reward? Consider giving them a front-row seat, invite them to dine with Preston, or hold a special meet and greet with him.
  • Post-Event: It isn't over yet. Preston will hold a post-action review with key stakeholders to determine what worked, what didn't, and what has potential. He'll also record a video summarizing the content and thanking them for participating.

"Preston created an environment of learning, memorable experiences, and shared frameworks that have led to a great team spirit that has helped us emerge stronger over the last few years of crisis. I highly recommend Preston for speaking, coaching, and training engagements." - International Beverage Industry Executive
