We all want to enhance our influence… but what if we are sabotaging our influence without even knowing it? You may not be as influential as you think you are! How you communicate verbally and non-verbally determines whether or not others see you as credible, knowledgeable and trustworthy. Without doing this effectively, you inhibit your maximum potential to: influence, increase profits and cultivate long-term relationships. In Influence Redefined, Stacey will give you the opportunity to take a closer look at reality rather than what you believe to be true. Whatever your solution, the goal is always the same: Not to change you, but to help you confidently and consistently express your true self, Monday to Monday.®

Brad Montgomery
Sponsored by Black Hills Federal Credit Union
Brad teaches people how to use happiness to boost productivity, creativity, innovation and profits. He turns typical meetings into transformational events using the power of happiness. Oh, and he’s also pretty funny.
Brad has transformed audiences in all 50 states and on four continents. His clients include Microsoft, Verizon, the FBI (yes, that FBI) the CIA (yes, that CIA) and the IRS (where he withheld 30% of his best strategies).
Brad specializes in using humor, interaction, sound, music and visuals to ignite audiences and demonstrate how happiness is a tool to improve your life and your job. Other speakers TALK about happiness. Brad will SHOW you how to harness the power of happiness in hands-on experiences you will remember and implement. It’s the difference between a “speech” and an “event.”
Recently he was inducted to the National Speaker Association’s CPAE Speakers Hall of Fame, which is a big deal. (Like an Oscar, but without the movie stars.)
Brad lives in Centennial, CO with his wife and three kids. Although he is proud of his many awards and national credits, he’s convinced that his best feats so far are his kids.
