Jim Lysaght Returns for the 44th Annual Conference
Jim Lysaght is back by popular
demand. For those of you that did not
attend our conference last year let me
tell you about Jim. This is what happens
when you turn a highway patrolman into a
magician. Jim left a 21-year career with
the Missouri Highway Patrol because
there was no demand for a funny highway
patrolman! Today Jim is recognized as
one of the leading corporate speakers in
the U.S.
By combining his dynamic ability,
humorous outlook on life, and skill as a
magician, Jim delivers a high- energy,
fun packed program involving audience
participation. The presentations and
shows leave a lasting, positive
impression on everyone. And, best of all
everyone leaves laughing.
We are fortunate to have Jim
presenting two youth sessions at our
conference this year. The topics are:
Team Community - Learn how to build
relationship's to form a team effort to
move forward in your community and
Valuable Living - Learn to identify your
core values that will move you to the
top in your community.
Mark you calendars now and plan to
attend these two great sessions.
