Speaking Truly, Dealing Truly, Living Truly...

Conferences and conventions should be filled with memorable stories and concepts that impact lives and help people change behavior and achieve success. Kay Sever is a professional speaker, consultant and author that delivers those kinds of stories with a level of enthusiasm that is difficult to forget. Audiences have stated that her talk was “the best session” at the conference. Kay was voted the best speaker 5 years in a row for a state-wide teacher education program.

 

She uses humor and intrigue to change perceptions about getting things done with people and equipment. Her stories are catalysts for change for all businesses and organizations because they raise awareness, "turn light bulbs on", and create a vision for what is possible to change and achieve. Topics vary from lost opportunity and culture change to "change revelation" and removing barriers that hurt management credibility. A list of more specific topics appears below. 

Kay customizes her content to create the greatest impact for the audience. She is happy to work with your conference planners so that everything goes smoothly the day of the event, including book offered at a discount to attendees or books being included in the fee for the event. If you are interested in WORKSHOPS, call Kay to talk about your specific needs.

See PAST SPEAKING EVENTS for a list of conferences and presentation titles.

See SPEAKING TESTIMONIALS for audience comments about some of the presentations.

 

Four Reasons to consider Kay as a speaker for your Next Event:

1. MINING COMPANIES/ASSOCIATIONS: Kay is the only woman who consults, speaks and writes about improvement challenges in the mining industry (equipment cost and culture). She has spoken at over 15 mining conferences and events, including MinExpo.
   
2. NON-MINING COMPANIES/ASSOCIATIONS: Kay's stories about change apply to all industries because people are the same everywhere - they share the same challenges, experience the same conflict, confusion and frustration because management teams make the same mistakes, regardless of the size of company, product or service. 
   
3. PROFESSIONAL, BUSINESS AND SOCIAL ORGANIZATIONS: Kay inspires, motivates and entertains as she relates stories about transparency, procrastination, and courageous and unpopular choices that she made to pursue her career path (transitioning from banking to mining to consulting).
   
4. BOOKING AN AUTHOR FOR A KEYNOTE is always a plus for your conference. In 2008, Kay wrote two editions of "Building An Opportunity Culture - Addressing The Barriers That Steal Profits and Prevent Sustainable Change", a bold and honest look at why change is difficult and why millions of dollars are forfeited in the midst of a structured focus on improvement. See "Products/Books" on this website for more information and a link to purchase it.

OPPORTUNITY: An odorless invisible element defined as a favorable set of circumstances in business. The only element with an infinite atomic number and weight. When discovered and captured, it reacts with improvement programs and corporate cultures to produce a desirable green substance found in financial institutions.
