Your people perform under pressure instead of folding when the number is on the line. Richie was told he'd never make it, and he spent 30 years proving otherwise in the ring. In this keynote he shows your team what champions do in the moment they get knocked down: reset, choose who they're going to be, and take the next step forward. It lands like a main event, and your team keeps performing under pressure long after it ends. Ideal for Sales kickoffs, sales meetings and team events. Your team walks away with What to do the moment they get knocked down: reset, choose, respond A clear identity that holds when the pressure is on A team that bounces back faster from every setback [ Book this keynote ](https://richierotten.com/sales-keynote-speaker/#sp-06) 02 Leadership talk ### Leadership Is an Identity Your team won't rise until you rise first. Leaders learn to reach every person they lead, including the ones wired nothing like them. Leadership isn't a title. It's the identity you build every time you choose accountability over excuses. Drawing on years of coaching wrestlers and running his own wrestling school, Richie shows leaders how believability is earned, and how to become someone your team believes in when the pressure is on. Ideal for Leaders, managers and leadership offsites. Your team walks away with How to become a leader your team believes in when the pressure is on A team that chooses accountability over excuses How to reach every person you lead, including the ones wired nothing like you [ Book this keynote ](https://richierotten.com/sales-keynote-speaker/#sp-06) 03 Perspective talk ### Keep Life in Perspective What terminally ill children taught a Hall of Fame wrestler about what matters. People stop carrying it alone and see what they still have. Everywhere Richie wrestled, he took the championship belts to children's hospitals. Those visits changed how he saw everything. In this keynote he shares what those children taught him and the simple shift from "I have to" to "I get to" that helps people see the moment for what it is, and what is still in their hands. Ideal for Association conferences, all-hands meetings, and wellbeing and burnout programs. Your team walks away with The shift from "I have to" to "I get to" A way to see what they still have to work with when things go wrong Why life is about moments, not possessions [ Book this keynote ](https://richierotten.com/sales-keynote-speaker/#sp-06) Not sure which keynote fits your event?
