Happy 4th of july.

Corporate Teamwork in Unexpected Places: Fireworks

Share

“The best teamwork comes from men [or women] who are working independently toward one goal in unison.” –James Cash Penney

Chances are that at some point during last week’s July fourth holiday, you saw some fireworks.  Whether live or on television, those exploding balls of color, timed perfectly to a rousing American anthem, are a standard part of this celebratory day. This article in The Chicago Tribune talks about a team you might not have considered while you were oohing and aahing over the display: the pyrotechnics company that puts it all together.

 

And they’re not just explosion junkies, either. One member of the Melrose Pyrotechnics team, Jon Gesse, has a background in music and carefully puts together the songs that become the soundtrack to the show. Other designers match the timing of each launch precisely to the moment it should fit in – over 2000 times for this year’s show.  It takes a thirteen-member team to put together the Navy Pier fireworks display, with a lot of expertise, a lot of teamwork, and, we’d bet, a lot of all the skills our corporate event programs strengthen!

        What is a Keynote Speaker?

        Keynote Speaker is an often-misunderstood term associated with simply a motivational speaker, breakout speaker, industry expert, etc. Most professional speakers are not actual trained Keynote Speakers, who are specialists, therefore in much lower supply, and in higher demand.

        Keynote Speakers are experienced, professional communicators who engage an audience, capturing the essence of a client’s meeting. They are able to highlight it to their audience while simultaneously delivering their own key concepts and proprietary content in an entertaining and impactful way. Most companies understand that this specialization is very much worth the time (around an hour) and the investment.

        In order to capture the perfect essence, a Keynote Speaker spends the necessary time researching a client’s industry, their issues, and their audience to craft a customized presentation into a unique and distinctive moment specifically for the client’s event.

        As a top Keynote Speaker, Tom Leu strategically uses compelling storytelling, humor, powerful visuals, audio and video clips, and audience participation elements to weave an impactful message into your event in a fun and memorable way. Tom can also pair his Keynote with Best Corporate Events programming, laying a foundation and setting a tone that best prepares participants for maximum engagement in the forthcoming team events that day.
