Description

Many people take all kinds of courses, learn all kinds of information, but never take action. They live in their limiting beliefs and will wait and prepare forever before taking action. What some of them really need is a Boot in the Ass. They need a coach who will tell them like it is, give them tough love, and not put up with their excuses.

If you are the kind of coach who says the hard things to your clients and pushes them to break through their limitations for their own good, this is a summit for you.

Topics around mindset, action taking, and related will fit into this summit.

Your Speaker Experience

This event is produced by Michael Whitehouse, and Michael creates events that are fun, engaging, exciting, and valuable to the audience and the speakers. This is not a “watch with your camera off while you do something else” event. This is not a “drop in, give your talk, and leave” event. This is an interactive event!

You will be speaking for 15 minutes.

But you will also have the opportunity to interact with other speakers and attendees throughout the event, so your talk is just the beginning.

We want to create an event that you will enjoy speaking at and get value from. More interaction is always better than less interaction. That keeps the energy up in the room, keeps the audience engaged, and makes it more fun for you.

You are welcome to offer your gift (the one you put in the application) during your talk as long as it is low key and not pitchy. Offering good. Infomercial bad.

15 minutes is not a lot of time to go deep, so you are welcome to invite the audience to a follow up event where you can do much more in depth on your topic. It is required that your talk during our event provide valuable, actionable information. It is recommended that your follow up event do the same as well, and not simply be a pitch to sell something without offering more value during that event.


 

Live and Pre-recorded Speakers

During the event, we will have 8-10 live speakers, each speaking 15 minutes each. We will also have as many as 5 pre-recorded speakers.

Pre-recorded speakers will provide us with a 10 minute video of their talk. This video will be sent out to everyone registered for the event in the run up to the event. You are then welcome and encouraged to attend the event live to interact with those who watched your talk in our breakouts, Q&A, hotseat and other engagement sessions.

If you would like to participate but are unable to attend live, you are welcome to apply and note on the application that you would like to be a pre-recorded speaker.

Important: pre-recorded talks are not sent out until and unless you have achieved the promotion requirement.


 

Pre-Event Speaker Meet-Up

In our experience, one of the greatest forms of value our speakers get is the connection with other speakers. They have found clients, vendors, mentors, partners, and friends among their fellow speakers.

To facilitate this, we will be hosting a 90 minute, pre-event speaker meetup on November 5th, 2024 at 4:00 PM Eastern. 

This is not required, but is highly recommended because of the value it will provide for you.


 

Event Style

The event will be a live, Zoom-based event running 11 AM to 5 PM Eastern Time.

We're aiming for engagement. We want an event where people feel they are part of something, not where they feel like they are watching a YouTube video.

This means that we'll have interactive activities. It means we encourage interactive presentations.

It also means that we encourage speakers to be there for as much of the event as possible because you'll be making some connections while you're there. (Live speakers are required to attend for at least 2 hours of the event)

 

Schedule Structure

Speaking slots will be 15 minutes, or, if your presentation is interactive we give you an extra 5 minutes for a total of 20. 

The interactive block following your talk is run by the MC and host. While it may relate to your talk, it is separate)

Each hour will be formatted as follows:

0-15 Speaker

15-30 Interaction (run by MC and host)

30-45 Speaker

45-60 Interaction

Interaction may be speed networking, hot seat coaching, Q&As, or anything else.

Do not assume that the interaction block after your talk is for your Q&A, but if you do get a good flow going with the audience and they are highly engaged, I may choose to just let that keep going if the vibe is good.

 

Recordings

All presentations will be recorded. 

Any speakers who achieve the minimum number of opt-ins (which should be all of you, right?) will have their presentation shared out to the entire list of registrants in the days after the event.

Additionally, some videos may be shared out to attendees or others on my list for various reasons including promoting that speaker's affiliate link or program.

By applying to this summit, you are granting ConCardia, LLC and Michael Whitehouse full and irrevocable rights to all recordings made during the event. Event partners may also share and use the recordings at the discretion of ConCardia, LLC. These recordings may be edited and deployed in any way that we choose for the benefit of our audiences.

 

Promotion

Speakers are expected to generate a minimum of 10 opt-ins. Swipe copy will be provided, or you can write your own copy. If you write really good copy, I'll share it with the other speakers and credit you.

In addition to traditional swipe copy, Guest Letters will be provided which you can share verbatim as a letter from the organizers to your audience.

With 10 opt-ins, you meet the requirement and are Awesome, at which point you'll get the recordings at no cost.

If you bring in at least 25 opt-ins, that is Epic Level. This means that you will automatically be accepted to the next summit you speak at with high preference for your choice of times.

And if you exceed 50, that is Legendary. Get me a message within 2 days of the summit saying or promoting anything you want (within reason) and I will send it out to all registrants!

Kick Your Vision into Gear and Change Your Income
LORNA SHERLAND ACCELERATEHER

Vision is the lighthouse to take you to the highest levels of your business AND you need a coach with balls to keep you there.  Without it you can get off course and go down paths that are not meant for you.  You MUST become the VISON NERD to stay on track on the high seas of entrepreneurship.  Success is not by chance or by only learning.  Application of knowledge is Wisdom.  As humans, we sometimes have a challenge with the application of all the learning we have and do not have someone who has the balls enough to stand up to your limiting beliefs about your capacity to be more, do more so you can have more!

Why my husband calls me 'the bulldog'.
Rahti Gorfien Founder, Creative Calling Coaching, LLC

I seem to give the impression of being an ass-kicker. I also get described as ‘sweet’ which seems paradoxical. I can talk about wearing a silk glove over an iron fist in terms of creating safety as a coach, and how as one coach described me a a coach who ‘holds her clients tightly’. My husband calls me ‘the bulldog’ because of what I think of as my positive agression under circumstances where I see clearly it is absolutely needed or called for. I'm happy to elaborate on that as well.

Mindset Mindset Coaching

The same counts for your mindset - I'll explain how you can change your ‘Habitual Way of Thinking" and how you are in the “Habit of Reacting” or dealing with different people and situations in different ways. This changes everything! It's science-based, not woo-woo. 

Heal Yourself - How Are Your Symptoms Serving You
Sarah Dawkins Holistic Health Coach

SEE It. BE It. DO It. (How Visualization Really Works)
Steve Gamlin The Vision Board Guy

Vision Boards are NOT Arts & Crafts projects.
Not Genies in Magic Lamps either.
And they are definitely NOT ‘Set It & Forget It’ tools…like those rotisserie chicken roasters you see on TV infomercials.
What are they…and what sets Steve apart in his Teaching & Coaching? 
Essentially: A Vision Board is a wall-mounted GPS for the rest (and the best) of your life.
In our time together, Steve will share Actionable Tips & Tactics that can help you identify the BIG PICTURE of your life, from where you are now to your desired outcomes, then design an Action Plan to get there. 

From one of Steve's Vision Board Mastery clients:
“As a Business and Personal Coach, Vision Boards are one of the tools I use to help my clients get a fully energized picture of where they are going. Over the years, I've tried several different systems for creating effective Vision Boards. None of them can hold a candle to Steve's program. He uses the tool in its most powerful and productive form: a blending of the WHERE, WHAT, WHY and HOW of the achievement structure.”
