Master Your Course: The Ninja Warrior Experience

From Ty Bennett, bestselling author and award-winning speaker – a keynote unlike any other!

Imagine combining the thrill and excitement of American Ninja Warrior with key insights for your attendees. If you want to create more adaptability, help your team overcome obstacles and develop extreme commitment. Ty Bennett brings all of this to life on your stage!

This experience includes 2 American Ninja Warrior champions, Ty’s sons Tanner and Drew. With Ty, these 2 champions demonstrate adaptability and mastery using a full scale ninja apparatus on stage bringing 3 insights to your event.

Key Takeaways:
Adaptability - Master Your Moves, Not the Course. When a Ninja Warrior competes, they cannot touch the obstacles before running the course. They must adapt in the moment to master the moves...during the competition.
Redefining Failure - The Obstacle IS the Way. For Ninjas, failure is on the same path to success. In their minds, they reposition failure - they do not avoid it - they embrace it. Ninjas fail constantly. In 14 seasons of the American Ninja Warrior show, only 3 three people have won. Ninjas do not see success and failure as different directions – they see it as the same path.
Mastery - Create Flow. In Ninja, ‘mastery’ is called ‘flow.’ It looks effortless. It is captivating and beautiful to watch. This 'flow’ is only created through relentless practice and a commitment to mastering your craft.
Charles Darwin stated: “The most important factor in survival is neither intelligence nor strength but adaptability.”

To succeed in today’s world, adaptability is not just important, it is imperative. From leadership to sales, flexibility and agility are today’s requisite skills and nothing brings them to life better than this Ninja Warrior Experience.

The Psychology of Customer Service

In this powerful and insightful presentation, Ty Bennett expertly breaks down the psychology behind customer service and your organization’s growth and retention. From every level of leadership to every level of your team, the culture and communication you foster equate either to customer relationships for life – or a revolving door. Either high volume, high retention – or low productivity and the high cost of new customer acquisition. With practical strategies, Ty helps your team create a customer loyalty that will rival the best of competitors.

In this game-changing keynote Ty will share how to:

• Develop customer loyalty at a high level
• Drive referrals through increased connectivity
• Build long-lasting relationships
• Fuel customer acquisition and retention

In today’s world, excellence in service is the difference between status quo and top of the competitive ladder. Customer expectations are at an all-time high – and their tolerance at an all-time low. Invite Ty Bennett to share the skills, strategies, and psychology that will bring growth-producing results for your organization.

Partnership Is the New Leadership

Over the last five years a survey of more than 5000 leaders asked one question …what do you want from your people?

Using case studies of leaders and organizations whose culture and growth is built through partnership-based leadership, Ty Bennett’s talks share proven strategies and techniques to increase the leadership and overall commitment of your people.

Takeaways include:

Specific ways to provide value that creates influence
The Power of Commitment – “A leader who lacks passion will have followers who lack commitment”
How to Create Buy-in – “People support what they help create”
Keys to building relationships that last
Why motivation is important but it’s overrated

How do you become a solid leader? ~through influence. How do you become a successful leader? ~by using influence to engage and inspire others.

The Power of Storytelling

Objective: Selling or leading through storytelling

In this program, Ty teaches the art of storytelling as a key communication and sales strategy. He provides attendees with the mindset, skill set and toolset to sell effectively through storytelling.

People love stories. More importantly, stories engage emotion which prompts people to respond, take action or buy your products.

We are all in the people business. We are all communicators. We are all involved in selling products, services, ideas. Storytelling is the most influential form of communication because we’re all emotional creatures.

We’ve heard the saying: “people buy based on emotion.” The truth is people take action based on emotion. The underlying principle behind storytelling is that it’s not about you; it’s about the other person. Showing them how your story impacts them and how it pertains to their life creates an influential impact in the sales decision.

Ty’s Key Messages:

Humanize your message: make a human connection instead of trying to sell your product
Create the balance between credibility and relatability: buy into the idea that business is about relationships
Engage the emotional, creative side of the brain: people buy from you because they know and trust you; let them in so they like and trust you
Begin a conversation…not about you, about them: ask specifically you-focused questions
Tell the story: everybody struggles with the same challenges…hook them with a struggle and you help them with a solution.
Learning Outcomes:

The science of storytelling
The 5 places to use stories
The blueprint for a great story
How to make stories compelling, dynamic and memorable
