A Powerful Moment with Ann Mulcahy
Number 10 in 100 Most Powerful Women

I was honored recently to be on the agenda with Xerox Chief Executive, Ann Mulcahy. She is a dynamic person who energizes people and a decision maker with great insight. In June she became the first woman to be named by her peers as Chief Executive of the Year, an honor previously bestowed on the likes of Bill Gates and Jack Welch. With her drive for efficiency and change within Xerox, I presented “The Winners Model” to her executive team and the national sales force. It was one of those Powerful Moments where
the Executive Team immediately discussed future events for me at Xerox.
“The Winners Model”
“Think and Sell like a Winner”
Speed – Agility – Embrace change -Flawless Execution
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 
...." we discussed recommending you to our national organization as a great speaker with a message that resonates for our industry. Furthermore, we were going to recommend you for our other divisions in Tennessee and Kentucky as a speaker, so hope that gives you an idea about how well you were received"....John Wyer, President.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Two Standing Ovations – Two different Industries – Two different coasts…all in 11 hours
According to some of the biggest corporate names in America the message is engaging and powerful for Sales teams
…and just what’s needed in 2009
Derek recently addressed the sales forces of Powerwave Technologies and Xerox on opposite coasts within eleven hours of each other. What a trek through the night but the standing ovations made it all worth while
“The Winners Model”
“Think and Sell like a Winner”
Speed – Agility – Embrace change - Flawless Execution

Farmers - Women - and Motorsports.....WHAT?
In a six week period in November/December, Derek presented to the Association of Legal Adminstrators (98% women), and Agri companies, Bayer CropScience, AgReliant and three events in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico for Growmark. Where was the connection you might ask?
Few in the audiences knew much about motorsports which emphasizes the versatility of Derek's message. The message can successfully cross many industries because when the heart of a program is wrapped in sports analogies and deals with how to become winners, few industries differ in their needs. See testimonials...

Edmunds.com, June 9, 2008 (views per month: 4,978,656)
Michael F. Hollander, Editor,
REDONDO BEACH, CA - RIS - I get stacks of books to review, most reasonably good, a few awful, but this book went right to the top of those to be reviewed mostly because of what Mario Andretti wrote on the dust cover. "Derek's book teaches lessons it took guys like me years to learn."
Well if Mario thinks it's a good book, then it's a good book. After reading Race to Win, I've got to tell you, Mario's wrong. This is a great book.......

Derek and Mario Andretti ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
You are the "ringer" of the industry right now......
Darren Powell, Vice President, International Speakers Bureau, Dallas TX.

Derek 1982 Formula One Derek & Mario Andretti
How do you choose a speaker?
Question: 1- When choosing a speaker, do you want more glitter and/or a marquee name. What about real life truths and experiences that can positively effect your organization. What about getting both?
2- If we are in a race against the competition everyday....what "vehicle" would you like to be driving? What type of High Performance Team would you like supporting you? What gear would you like to be in? What model would you use to get it?
3- Do you agree that the Speed of doing business has increased in the last 10 years? Will it get even faster in the next 10? If you value Speed as a core competency in the next decade, what model might you use to build your High Performance Team for the next decade? Derek has some compelling answers to these questions.
Action Item: If there is even a hint on interest, Derek would welcome a personal phone call at your convenience.

The Disengaged workforce
Gallup Pole
If a recent Gallup pole shows that 59% of Americas work force are not engaged in their job. How can you decrease that number? Derek's powerful analogies during his presentations gives people the vital "ah ha" moments. His "model" is all about teams of people being aligned and understanding speed and flawless execution....and the successful corporations of the future, who value speed as a core competency, will use a similar model.
Sports stirs great passion in people and sports analogies are used in corporate America every day....however, it is motorsports that provides the powerful speed & flawless execution analogies. Motor sports is the largest spectator sport in America. The Indy 500 is the largest single day attended sporting event in the world and Formula One is the largest watched sport in the world. Derek uses these props to show how to get to victory circle more often and why such a small number of teams ever manage it. The analogies are colorful, powerful and all real.
