Richard McCann - The World Needs More Of... Kindness + Compassion + Understanding

Guest: Richard McCann
Age: 49 years
Location: United Kingdom
Bio: Richard McCann is a Sunday Times No1 Bestselling author. His first book, ‘Just a Boy’, sold close to ½ million copies and has been translated around the world. He's a Motivational Speaker who overcame an almightly fear of speaking to having now spoken 2500 times across the globe as far and wide as Malaysia, South Africa, Iran, Switzerland, Canada and many more. He's also a Presentation Skills Coach. He has been the subject of two BBC documentaries about his extraordinary life story. Brought up on the ‘At Risk’ register until his mother was murdered by the serial killer Peter Sutcliffe (The Yorkshire Ripper), Richard went on a downward spiral. Foster homes, children’s home and then a violent upbringing by his estranged father took away any self esteem that he had. He left school with no qualifications and was kicked out of the army for psychological reasons before he turned to drugs to ease his depression. After a prison sentence for a drugs offence, and with his home about to be possessed, Richard hit rock bottom where he considered taking his life. It was at this point that he found the gut wrenching determination to turn his life around and fight for a better future. That turn around has been remarkable. Now married with a family of his own, three books about his life being published, and a much sought after inspirational speaker. His presentation centres on the way in which he has turned, what can only be described as insurmountable odds, to his favour and has shaped a more positive life for himself. It’s one that most people don’t forget in a hurry.
The World Needs More: I believe the world needs more kindness and compassion and understanding that we are one world and one human race. It's not what I speak on ordinarily.
Wow Factor: My WOW factor for many is that fact that I overcame what for many would send them under. The murder of my mother when I was a five year old boy. Losing mum and a number of other setbacks along the way have in fact shaped the person I am today. Putting that to one side for a moment, one of the moments that have sahped what I do now, being a speaker, was taking part in the public speaking competition at school, at the age of 12, which I won. It took incredible courage to get on stage with no confidence and low self esteem. When I first started speaking professionally in 2005, I was a terrible speaker. So I went out there and studied great speaekers including Tony Robbins. I modelled what those speakers did and, well, the rest is history.

Vanessa T - The World Needs More Of... Thinking about others

Guest: Vanessa T
Age: 36
Location: Miami, FL 
Bio: Hello! I’m Vanessa - I was born and raised in San Juan, Puerto Rico. By day, I’m a publicist for an entertainment media company. Presently residing in Miami with my husband and two adorable pups.
The World Needs More:
1. Love.. sweet love ... I kid - but not really - I believe it needs a good dose of kindness, laughter and selflessness.
Wow Factor: I’ve had several humbling moments - including the sudden death of my mom and an incredible trip around the world during my college years. The shock of losing someone so close to you puts a lot of things in perspective- your priorities shift and you become in a way stronger for those around you. On the other hand, travel has really opened my eyes and taught me so many lessons that are still relevant today.

Gene McNaughton - The World Needs More of... Better Parenting + Understanding Sales Landscape in Business

Guest: Gene McNaughton
Age: 50
Location: Mission Viego, CA
Bio: President of Growthsmart Consulting - a boutique full service consulting firm (Sales, Marketing, and SF.com) serving mid size and large clients (ie: T-Mobile, Tyco Security, Johnson Controls, Divisions of Panasonic, just to name a few) - every company comes to us because they want to grow faster, better, and smarter
What The World Needs More of:
1. Better Parenting
2. As it relates to Sales/Growth - a solid understanding of todays buying landscape. We buy differently today, whether we are individuals, or businesses. Smart salespeople understand this, and have changed they way they go after their market. This includes BOTH sales and marketing approaches. Hard core selling techniques of the 80's are taboo today. The market is craving companies/people to teach them how to be better buyers of their products and services.
WOW FACTOR: The major WOW factor is having a track record of record breaking results where ever I have been. Whether it was with Gateway Computers, Tony Robbins, Chet Holmes, or in consulting over 100 companies, my record is consistent, and in most cases, produced all time records.
