Passionate, truthful, and honest - traits that define our team and our company, and will serve us all well as we continue to work towards achieving our goals. We cant wait to have Lee back!"

"Lee was outstanding as our opening keynote speaker for the Kodak Alaris Partner Summit. He was well prepared, understood the audience and our occasion, and crafted a succinct message that met all of our objectives. Lee nailed it! His message clearly resonated because it continues to get repeated during subsequent conversations and meetings."

"Lee took the time to understand our culture, our history, and what we were looking to accomplish. He was able to weave in some company-specific items into his talk, which really helped drive his lessons home. He had the audience extremely engaged, at some points laughing hysterically, and everyone was raving about him afterward. Lee is an extremely genuine, articulate, and impressive individual, and I would definitely recommend him, especially if you are looking to make a lasting impression on your employees."

5 Components of Extraordinary Teams

Five Components of Extraordinary Teams is a practical, high-impact keynote that gives leaders a clear framework for building cohesive, high-performing teams. Through real-world strategies and leadership insights, attendees learn how to drive engagement, accountability, and consistent results—no matter the environment. While most organizations focus exclusively on building the skills of their individual members, elite organizations invest in the “stuff” that transforms a collection of talented individuals into extraordinary, collaborative teams. This keynote introduces the “Five Cs”; competitors, a common goal, communication, chemistry, and consistency.

During this keynote, your audience will learn to:

  • Build strong communication where team members are not just heard but understood.
  • Unite teams around a common goal without losing individuality.
  • Leverage competition to fuel growth, collaboration, and respect among team members.

Themes:

  • Unselfishness: Team members are willing to make sacrifices to achieve the common goal.
  • Buy-In: Team members take ownership, holding themselves and their teammates accountable.
  • Championship Culture: There is a healthy appetite for winning and raising the bar to increase value to the people you serve.
