Charles Dickens’ A Tale of Two Cities begins, “It was the best of times, it was the worst of times...it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair...” How are you coping with our times? Do you want to:

  • reduce your stress?
  • enjoy happiness and joy more frequently?
  • make choices that restore well being?
  • learn the power of gratefulness?
  • better connect with your personal power?

KEY IDEA: Your thoughts create your life
Every person has amazing power in their thoughts, but few know it or use it wisely. Everyone has a magical power to create.

  • You create your life by choices you make daily
  • You create your life by how you react to what happens to you daily

Want to know how to manifest this power more fully? Jack Pyle brings the answer to your audiences.

Program: "Get Jacked UP on Selling Yourself"

KEY IDEA: A vital sales skill is communicating ideas face-to-face
Anyone can learn to be more persuasive and credible in selling situations! Most people are aware of the old saying: “It's not what you say, it's how you say it.” It is easy to improve “how you say it.” Little differences make a big difference—and sales people can quickly learn which small changes will help them influence sales more effectively.

Jack will relate to your audience with customized programs

"Your ability to step in at the last minute and develop a specifically tailored, comprehensive presentation with no more than two weeks notice is a true meeting planner's miracle! Just when I had reached the critical worrying point, you emerged with your professionalism, expertise and attention to detail and put together a session which was perfectly suited to our audience. Furthermore, you accepted this challenge with the same enthusiasm you expressed on stage. I marvel to think what you could have accomplished if I had given a you a month!
" Deborah Thomas, Director of Education, MACU Association Group, Lansing, Michigan

"You did an excellent job of incorporating facts and ideas about the produce industry into your talk, which fired up the attendees and resulted in their participation. Over 60% of the evaluations specifically mentioned you either by name or presentation. This was indeed encouraging to us. Your help in setting up this program was invaluable, and we particularly appreciate your suggestion to tape each presentation. This will help our on-going program." David Bestman, President, J.A.
