Alan Stein's Speaking Topics

Raise Your Game

How to Maximize Your Individual Performance, Contribution, and Significance

The number one investment you can make is the investment in yourself. To achieve a greater level of success, you must be intentional in developing yourself mentally, physically, and emotionally. If you want more, you must become more.

The key to raising your individual performance and expanding your contributions and significance lies in your ability to master these five fundamentals:

  • Self-Awareness
  • Passion
  • Discipline
  • Coachability
  • Confidence

This can only be achieved by closing Performance Gaps (the gap between what you know and what you do).

In this powerful program, Alan teaches practical strategies to heighten self-awareness, create winning habits and routines, and improve productivity. Regardless of title or tenure, attendees walk away with actionable steps to:

  • Align your habits with your core values and beliefs
  • Improve your Emotional Intelligence (EQ) and develop a true winner’s mindset
  • Learn to be present in the moment
  • Earn confidence while maintaining humility
  • Manage change and create a process for progress

This program is ideal for the player looking to improve individual performance and/or contributions to the team (company-wide events, all-hands meetings, teams, employees, and/or entrepreneurs).

Raise Their Game

How to Improve Your Leadership Performance, Impact, and Influence

How have some organizations been able to sustain unparalleled success while others are sporadic and inconsistent? Simple… it’s their leadership. A team will never outperform its leadership.

A leader’s primary job is to create an environment where people feel safe, included, appreciated, valued, respected, inspired, empowered, and challenged. Employees need to know they have the resources and support to star in their specific role and make a meaningful contribution to the team.

The key to raising your leadership performance and amplifying your impact and influence is a direct result of how well you master these five fundamentals:

  • Vision
  • Culture
  • Servanthood
  • Character
  • Empowerment

Successful leaders create the type of high-performing culture that drives long-term results. They have a firm grasp of their identity, they uphold high standards of excellence, and they foster an atmosphere of collective accountability.

This program is vital for any leader who aspires to:

  • Become the leader for which you would want to work
  • Find, attract, hire, train, empower, support, and retain top talent
  • Build a winning culture by aligning organizational beliefs and behavior
  • Heighten Emotional Intelligence (EQ) to establish unparalleled trust, buy-in, and believe-in
  • Effectively coordinate everyone’s effort to produce astonishing results

This program is ideal for the coach looking to improve their leadership performance (C-level, executives, directors, managers, supervisors, emerging leaders).

Raise Our Game

How to Increase Organizational Performance, Communication, and Cohesion

The highest-performing organizations find and attract; train and develop; empower and support; and push and praise great people. They emphasize both professional and personal development.

Elite teams promote shared ownership, individual responsibility, and collective accountability by clearly establishing each team member’s role, creating buy-in and believe-in with that role, and rewarding those who star in it.

The key to raising organizational performance and building a winning culture is a result of how well teams master these five fundamentals:

  • Belief
  • Unselfishness
  • Role Clarity
  • Communication
  • Cohesion

An organization’s leadership team has one primary job: to identify what each team member does well and best utilize that skill set for the benefit of the team. Great leaders understand the power of this principle: what drives you needs to be good for us, and what drives us needs to be good for you.

They also recognize that a motivated, happy, and engaged team member directly impacts every other aspect of the business.

This program is a must-attend for any team that aspires to:

  • Have every team member perform at a consistently exceptional level
  • Promote and emphasize the value of diversity, empathy, and inclusion
  • Eliminate entitlement, selfishness, and complacency
  • Improve the efficiency and effectiveness of communication
  • Develop competence and confidence through honest feedback

This program is ideal for teams looking to improve organizational performance and culture, including company-wide events, all-hands meetings, teambuilding events, leaders, and HR departments.

Raise Your Sales

Increase Sales Performance with the Mindsets, Habits, and Focus of World Class Performers

No matter what your sales system is or how rich your pipeline might be, if you’re not implementing the habits that elite performers use consistently, your ability to execute and close sales will always be limited. In other words—both you and your sales will underperform.

Finding leads, qualifying prospects, following up, and servicing clients all drain our two most precious resources: time and energy. Filled with stories, statistics, and actionable steps, Alan shares how to maximize both—while teaching clear strategies for what to control, what to let go of, and how to trust the process.

This program is critical for anyone who wants to elevate their sales performance. In this session, attendees learn how to:

  • Shift their mindset from selling to solving
  • Become a world-class active listener (because telling is not selling)
  • Consistently create quality touches in a high-contact sales environment
  • Care more about the prospect than making the sale
  • Develop unparalleled, trust-based relationships

This program is ideal for sales teams and sales leaders looking to improve performance, including annual sales meetings, sales training programs, sales leaders, sales representatives, and sales support teams.

Sustain Your Game

How to Effectively Manage Stress, Avoid Stagnation, and Beat Burnout

What do the most successful people do to continually get better? Sustaining high performance in business and life comes down to developing strategies that strengthen three critical areas:

  • PERFORM — Managing stress in the day-to-day
  • PIVOT — Avoiding stagnation in your current situation
  • PREVAIL — Beating burnout and making a lasting impact

Known for the actionable strategies and tools in his signature program, Raise Your Game, Alan Stein, Jr. takes the next step with this program—teaching audiences how to stay at the top once they get there.

Sustain Your Game offers a different approach: improving productivity, impact, results, and fulfillment—while simultaneously decreasing burnout, attrition, and stress.

This program empowers every attendee to:

  • Heighten clarity around their true purpose
  • Embrace strategies to maximize the unseen hours
  • View accountability from their inner circle as a gift
  • Effectively improve emotional intelligence
  • Create standards and systems that sustain long-term fulfillment
