Regional Workshops
FOLLOWERShip + LEADERShip Workshop with Fran Kick
Now you can host a regional workshop with maximum impact for all your students at a minimum cost. Bring this cost-sharing fundraising opportunity to your area. Fran Kick’s program strives to do something different by giving all your students the opportunity to learn more about followership and leadership.
Since 1986, I have been KICKin’ IT IN as an independent, professional speaker, facilitator, and leadership educational consultant. And while I have shared many times that “leadership isn’t about a title or a position,” I have noticed that too many times it is only a small group of selected students with titles or positions who end up going to leadership workshops.
This program strives to do something different. We want to give all students an opportunity to learn more about the followership + leadership dynamic. After years of requests to involve more students from more schools, we have created this collaborative, regional workshop to give your program the opportunity to KICK IT IN and inspire your students to TAKE THE LEAD!
TOPICS for workshop program include:
- How to pay attention and respond appropriately
- Get more out of what you do, by putting more into what you do
- Why whining, griping and complaining wastes time and talent
- You can’t lead others, until you lead yourself
- Discover how you can make things happen vs. watch things happen
- Encourage others to get in the game of leadership
- What it takes to succeed at working hard, getting good, and having fun
- Leadership “ain’t about you baby!”
- Ego vs. mission, vision, and goals
- I,Me vs. We,Us
WHAT YOU NEED TO HOST:
- Auditorium seating capacity of 450 or greater.
- Available date/time for program.
- Relationships with area schools.
- (3) Adult volunteers to help with sign-in suggested.
PROPOSAL: When your organization/school hosts a FOLLOWERShip + LEADERShip Workshop with a registration guarantee of $4,000 your organization/school can send as many students as you like to the program. You can “sell” spots to students from other schools for $20 each, and we simply split those fees 50/50. (You can also choose to charge your own students that same $20 fee knowing you keep 100% of all fees charged to your own students from your host organization/school.) When you sell 400 seats to other area schools, (or 200 seats to your own students) the program costs you nothing to host but travel expenses.
Two organizations/schools can also co-host a workshop. Each school pays a $2,000 registration guarantee, and each sends as many students as they like. You still have the option of inviting students from other schools for the same $20 fee. Each co-hosting school keeps $5 of the registration price, and $10 goes to Instruction & Design Concepts. (Again, the host schools retain 100% of any fees charged to their own students. So 100 students per school paying $20 each covers the registration guarantee completely.
Review a sample proposal with what you need to host a program, what you get, an FAQ, a sample hosting agreement, registration form and an invoice.
GROUP SIZE: 200 students minimum will allow the host to cover the registration guarantee. Fran has also presented to audiences from 40 to as large as 10,800+ interactively inspiring students to be more self-motivated and develop the personal leadership they need to succeed.
PROGRAM LENGTH: Most popular presentation is a single 2½ hour non-stop session. Some have also created a 2 hour before lunch + 2 hour after lunch program. Lunch meals provided by host with added cost to the per-student registration fee.
ROOM SETUP: Fran’s goal is to be the easiest speaker, presenter, consultant you have ever dealt with. His setup needs are few and because every program is different, every location is different, every audience is different, he will always confirm exact setup and AV requests prior to the program. There are however a few items that are typically suggested:
AUDITORIUM/THEATER: Perfect with an open stage that is well lit and house lights up—no spotlights needed.
CONVENTION MEETING ROOMS: Set with chairs (ideally no tables) in a curved-row theater-style arrangement. This Audience-Centered Seating™ approach creates the most comfortable, viewable, and focused presentation possible. If the audience size will be over 400 and the room has a flat floor, a few 12–24 inch high platform risers would be suggested.
MICROPHONE: Wireless hand-held for audiences over 100.
A/V: Large flip pad of paper on an easel. No PowerPoint® will be used!
ADDITIONAL A/V: Large video monitor (for smaller groups <100) or a video projector with large screen (for larger groups >100). HDMI cable with audio.
Again, these items are only listed here for general pre-planning purposes so you know what might be needed. Any and all specific AV requests for your program will be finalized prior to the program. Fran Kick is a down-to-earth, humble, professional without the primo-uomo attitude or divo-like demands. You’ll absolutely love working with Fran’s non-egotistical, non-narcissistic personality, and non-self-aggrandizing attitude. His authentic approach is solely focused on making YOU look good and inspiring your group to enthusiastically engage in KICKin’ IT IN!
