Wayne Messick's presentations to association audiences, based on new, original and first-hand research, help business owners harness their internal strengths for do-it-yourself solutions to 21st Century strategic planning challenges.
Using a new interactive twenty-first century conference call service he connects directly with the association's members before ever meeting them in person, demonstrating how they too can bridge the distance between themselves and their fellow members.
Mr. Messick's objective is to determine whether or not the association's members are interested in learning how to be more effective "with a little help from their friends" in a business to business peer group setting.
By inviting everyone to a twenty first century conference call, where they will be able to join in the dialogue, simply listen in over the phone, or simultaneously over the Internet - members across the country receive a high impact educational experience live at the same time w/o leaving their office.
All they have to do is go to a simple web page where the phone number is posted along with a streaming media download button and a text box where they can ask their questions anonymously before, during, and after the event. There is nothing to download, no passwords are needed, and their email address is not requested.
Experience has demonstrated that, once a person understands the process, the most effective vehicle for association members wishing to take full advantage of their association's resources is to create a strategic planning peer group made up of their contemporaries - and meet regularly over the phone.
Associations that wish to dramatically leverage their education budgets, empower their membership with management training, and help them expand their leadership skills - can do so by providing their members with 24/7/365 access to one another.
Each association event becomes a face-to-face opportunity for existing peer groups of members to meet and a place where new member to member alliances are formed.
When members participate in a B2B peer group they bridge their association experiences and connections seamlessly and continually from one association event to the next.
It is often the case that follow up presentations take place using this twenty-first century conference service exclusively - without Wayne ever attending your events in person.
On the other hand, you may wish to engage him for a luncheon or after-dinner keynote, a 20-minute "kick-off" presentation at a national trade association meeting, and afternoon "break-out" session, or an all-day in-depth workshop - where your members will be both both informed and entertained by the power of using virtual peer group meetings to leverage what they and their fellow members are already doing right.
His results-oriented presentations that demonstrate the power of the do-it-yourself peer group process help businesses grow their bottom line:
- Build capabilities that reduce unproductive activities and wasted efforts.
- Organize self-managed strategic planning and leadership programs.
- Use virtual peer groups to extend their association experience year round.
- Make succession seamless by developing your future leaders & managers.
- Develop shared goals with strategic management of expectations.

And if contracting a speaker isn't in your budget, consider having one of your exhibitors sponsor Wayne's presentation.
For over 15 years Wayne has maintained a policy that whether he works through an agency or directly with meeting planners, corporate training departments, or association executives - his fees are the same.
No Charge Presentations: Each year he makes numerous presentations at service clubs, business groups, etc. - schedule permitting. Mr. Messick is committed to the self-directed peer group process, so in addition to his free conference calls to association groups, he will make a presentation to your group for expenses and travel only - if it can be scheduled in conjunction with already planned travel.
Please contact us by email to inquire of his availability. Because of the nature of Wayne's schedule he is often available to speak at one of these events, on short notice
New York Area and Silicon Valley Events: While he travels extensively, his business and consulting responsibilities make presentations in the NYC area more attractive to him and he can adjust both his fees and schedule more easily - to accommodate your needs and possibly to speak to your group on short notice. In addition his Silicon Valley responsibilities make the San Jose (CA)area "home" for fees, expenses, and availability.
