Great business people are great performers…
Although you may rarely find yourself literally on a stage, your customers, your peers, your superiors, and your competitors are watching you everyday.

Giving your best performance before an audience or clients isn’t always easy, but with the right skills and insights you can consistently deliver. Join internationally renowned speaker Jeff Nelsen, and expert facilitators Michele Mattoon and Jim McKean for this 2 hour exploration of your business performance potential!

You’ll gain insight into:
-
Shortening your learning curve

Improving your presentations and presence

Feeling total trust in your material, your audience, and yourself

Experiencing a sense of calm even during the highest-pressure situations

And lots more!
What is Fearless Performance?
Fearless Performance is a clear and effective method through which you’ll learn how to consistently perform your best, and how to make your best even better.
Unlike the classic approach of teaching people how to do their best only when it’s time to perform, Jeff Nelsen’s Fearless Performance methods create a fearless lifestyle that equips you to make the best possible choices in any situation, whether you’re in front of an audience of 1 or 1000. Through Fearless Performance, you can learn how to choose and work optimally so you can authentically trust all things, present and future.
Fear gets in everyone’s way, but you don’t have to let it undermine your efforts. Come join us on December 17th for this exciting program and Choose Great Performance Over Fear!
To insure a high quality experience and individualized attention for all participants, attendance will be limited to 50 people. Registration is offered on a first come basis. So if you’d like to attend, don’t delay! Call Derek Richey at (812) 345-9712 or contact us for more information.

More info on our featured speaker:
Jeff Nelsen – Professor, I.U. Jacobs School of Music
Professor Jeff Nelsen, the Canadian hornist, magician, former-pig-farmer, knows fear, and more importantly, he knows better. He’s fooled himself into thinking he’s fearless on enough occasions to win auditions for symphonies, faculties, and an amazing ensemble called Canadian Brass.
Jeff’s life used to be about playing his horn as well and often as possible. It still is, but now he spends more time talking others into reaching their potential through Fearless Performance. In 2011, he gave a TEDxBloomington Talk about it, and has since become a speaker coach for TEDx Talkers.
Some of his fearless performances have been with the philharmonic of New York, the symphonies of Chicago, Boston, San Francisco, Montreal, Cincinnati, Houston, and St. Louis, Broadway’s Chitty Chitty and Pirate Queen, Hollywood movie soundtracks, the brass of London, German, El Sistema, and Slavic Soul Party… and most enjoyably with his mezzo-soprano wife Nina Nelsen.
A college drop-out, another triumph Jeff credits Fearless Performance is having become a full tenured professor of music at the prestigious Indiana University Jacob School of Music. Jeff’s Fearless Performance methods translate to any profession and any business presentation situation.
