    About the Presenter:

    Stan Phelps, CSP

He is a TEDx speaker, Forbes contributor, IBM Futurist and Certified Speaking Professional that inspires leaders to think differently about their most important stakeholders.

He has spoken at over 400 events in 16 countries (US, Canada, UK, Spain, Ecuador, Peru, The Netherlands, Japan, Russia, France, Germany, Australia, Bahrain, Malaysia, Israel, Singapore, Vietnam, and Sweden) for Fortune 500 brands such as IBM, Target, ESPN, UPS, Ricoh, GSK, Tesco, and Citi.

    Stan challenges brands to explore new opportunities, showing them how to be more successful in tomorrow's changing world. Working with clients to create keynotes and workshops that are memorable, meaningful and on-brand.

    He’s the author of 10 books: Purple Goldfish, Green Goldfish, Golden Goldfish, Blue Goldfish, Purple Goldfish-Service Edition, Red Goldfish, Pink Goldfish, Purple Goldfish-Franchise Edition, Yellow Goldfish, and Gray Goldfish.

At Synergy, he helped create larger than life brand experiences for brands such as KFC, M&M's, Starbucks and organizations such as NASCAR, MLS, and the USTA.

    Stan started writing and speaking in 2009 on the belief that "differentiation via added value" can be a game changing strategy. For far too long, the overwhelming majority of marketing has fixated on the eyes and ears of the prospect. Not enough has been focused on creating experiences for current customers that drive referrals. Great customer experience is about being so remarkable that people can't help but talk about you. That if you absolutely delight someone – they will not only come back, but they'll bring their friends.

    Stan received his BS in Marketing and Human Resources from Marist College, a JD/MBA from Villanova University, and a certificate for Achieving Breakthrough Service from Harvard Business School.

    He is a Past-President of the AMA Triangle, a 700+ member chapter of the American Marketing Association. He also currently serves on the Advisory Board for Special Spectators. Stan lives in Cary, North Carolina with his wife Jennifer and two boys Thomas & James.

    From new staff to new managers. From new organizational direction to dramatic changes in business due to economic or health concerns. Change is ever present as we learn whether remote work and schooling are here to stay.

It’s a leader’s responsibility to help their team navigate change with the least amount of drama, tension and fear.

    Sometimes it’s organizational change- cultural transformation.

    Or, it may be more uncertainty, more disruption, more competition. And, it can be the people side; how to cope. Fear and anxiety, new management new staff and new roles can be an opportunity for growth. Plus, an opportunity for additional learning and possible advancement too.

    We understand that change is a constant and it’s our job as leaders to assist staff who are struggling, give them the tools and let them know they’re not alone. From innovation and technology to increasing sales and a strong workplace culture. We’re in this together and change is constant.
