Art Holst, former NFL referee and author of the best seller, Sunday Zebra, is one of America's best motivational speakers. He provides a broad inspirational message on the theme of being your best - as an individual - as an organization - and spices it up with a keen sense of humor. Travels from Illinois or New Mexico.

What goes into an Art Holst presentation? A highly targeted, motivational message interspersed with NFL football anecdotes and good clean humor. One of his favorite themes is "The Challenge of Excellence," drawn from his personal experiences during his long career in business, sports and civic affairs.

His presentations are tailored to your needs, whether kickoff, wind-up or seminar. Versatility is a "trademark" as he talks about handling change, problem solving, discipline, teamwork, communicating effectively and how to laugh at yourself. When Art speaks, people listen, laugh, and leave with new expectations, and with the desire to put their talents to work, both on the job and in their personal lives.

1. The Challenge of Excellence
Making changes and problems work FOR you in your business. Creating and developing a TEAM that recognizes and respects the "Dignity of Difference" in the various talents needed in any vibrant organization or business.
2. Scoring Touchdowns in Selling
Rapid paced presentation comparing the game of football to the "game" of selling. Good ideas and lots of humor.
3. Funny Thing About Football
A humorous talk comparing football to life with appropriate anecdotes from Art's 15 years as an National Football League official.
4. Skills Effective Communication, The Key to Success
How to communicate better through the spoken or written word. Painting word "pictures" using similes and metaphors. More problems are created by mis-communications than any other one thing and this presentation helps to enable people to get the message intended across to others.
