- Virtual PresentationKeynote PresentationWorkshop SessionHalf Day TrainingFull Day Training
Fortunes are made and companies are sold way above asset value, primarily through the intangible strength of a compelling brand.

Join Gair Maxwell on The Branding Highway and discover how certain companies grow more than 5-10 times their original size in less than 4 years… while slashing their advertising budget!

the knowing-doing g.a.p. - how to cross the intention bridge between talk & action
- Virtual PresentationKeynote PresentationWorkshop SessionHalf Day TrainingFull Day Training
Books are read, seminars attended, and ideas generated but when it’s time to head back to the office, little if anything, really changes. “A-ha moments” fade faster than a New Year’s resolution and the same patterns persist. As much as people talk about success, the truth is most individuals and organizations never achieve it. Not because they can’t, but because they
choose not to act on the knowledge that corrects self-defeating behaviours.Gair Maxwell reveals why The Knowing-Doing G.A.P. exists and how to close it with new mind-to-muscle patterns that inspire growth, action and passion for one’s cause, company or personal purpose. No more excuses. No more inertia or irrational fears. Just effective, deliberate action, releasing untapped organizational power and human potential. Great insight worth “Knowing”. A learning experience definitely worth “Doing”.
the "i" in team
- Virtual PresentationKeynote PresentationWorkshop SessionHalf Day TrainingFull Day Training
- In a provocative, entertaining fashion, Gair challenges the way teams are expected to work together, allowing the whole to become greater than the sum of its parts. Those expectations often clash with traditional wisdom, unwritten rules and conflicting agendas, generating subcultures and mini-dramas full of empty excuses, dropped balls and pointed fingers. The “I” In TEAM breaks new ground by focusing on what everyday people can do to achieve higher levels of leadership thinking, quality control, initiative and personal accountability, crucial to the success of any organization and the brand it represents. Ready to hit home runs with your team and boost energy, engagement and execution? Step up to the plate … and take a swing with an uncommonly unconventional learning experience discovered through The “I” In TEAM.
