A Message from Garcia: Yes, You Can Succeed
Un Mensaje de Garcia (Spanish Edition)
Garcia imparts 10 timeless tenets of successful leadership derived from over 200 interviews with Americas top leaders while researching and writing* Leadership Lessons of the White House Fellows: Learn How to Inspire Others, Achieve Greatness, and Find Success in Any Organization*. He encourages audiences to challenge their preconceived notions of leadership while helping them absorb the practical, tactical qualities of truly great leaders and apply these principles to their own lives. At the same time, he will illustrate these lessons with personal glimpses into how Americas super successful leaders work, how they think, and how they reached ultimate success.
As part of this dynamic presentation, Garcia will share the story of Dr. Charles Kelman, the eye surgeon who invented the modern day procedure for cataract surgery. In order to achieve his goals and make his groundbreaking discoveries, Dr. Kelman followed a daily technique that utilized the power of his subconscious mind to drive him to exceptional achievements. "You must write down all your dreams, prioritize the top ten into a life plan, and look at them three times a day," says Dr. Kelman. "This way they become ingrained in both your conscious and subconscious mind." Garcia will reveal how you too can implement Dr. Kelmans techniques to achieve your life goalsand hell share many other examples of individuals that have followed these strategies with extraordinary results. To help audiences create their own life plan, Garcia has created a FREE web-based interactive software program that he provides the audience. Once at the site, individuals will be guided through a series of questions about their future goals in ten areas of their life. Once their top 10 goals are written down, then the software program assists them to develop navigational action steps to achieve each one. To inspire them to take action, they will receive "reminder emails" to their computers three times a day.

In this presentation companies and audiences will learn many of the unique and interesting cultural complexities and nuances of the Latino culture and mind set and how corporations that want to target this booming demographic can do so successfully.
Never has it been more important to capture the ideas, innovations, and energies of every employee in your business. The rapid globalization of business and our nations own changing demographics are sure to have a profound and growing effect on Americas corporations. Those who embrace diversity with a strategic approach and an eye toward economic benefits and return rather than as a socially mandated, "feel-good" directive based on keeping the company politically correct will be able to compete more effectively in the future. In todays economy, companies must take a holistic approach to diversity, one that incorporates employee recruitment, supplier/affiliate relationships, marketing, community involvement and more. Diversity is not just a way to remain competitive in our changing world but can and will give you the competitive edge in seeking out new customers and increasing revenues.

His firm was named by Inc. magazine as the #8 fastest growing, privately held company in the country. He was named Entrepreneur of the Year by three national organizations. You wont find a better mentor for entrepreneurs anywhere else.
