will bring us many experiences. Some of these experiences we will actually
intentionally plan. Most, however, will just unintentionally happen. How we
deal with both types of experiences will be determined by the power of our
characters".

"Don't
you hate it when people ask you to think...and then you do. But it isn't the way
they think. Then they think that you can't think! Don't you just hate that! Now
think about that for awhile".

Dear Questers and Adventurers,
After 30 years of experience and several degrees, I have learned that I have a whole lot more learning to do. I have learned that knowledge without common sense is useless and in many cases harmful...if not dangerous. I am"questing" to bring knowledge and common sense together for benefit of all humanity.
So, like Don Quixote, De La Mancha, I am on a "Great Quest". However, my "Great Quest" is to find common sense wherever it might be and share it with others so that they can apply it in their professional and personal lives. Then, hopefully, they will share it with others.
Imagine a world where common sense and knowledge actually comes together and works! What a wonderful world we would have!
I am seeking clients and others who are
interested in joining in this "Great Quest" wherever it might lead!
I
hope to hear from you and hopefully you will share with me your "Great
Quest".
As a national public speaker associated with All Time Favorites I am interested in being your speaker for your special event. Further, I can assure you as a speaker associated with All Time Favorites the best of services.
My general keynote
speech, I Am I…! is based on the first
song of the hit Broadway classical musical, The
Man from La Mancha. This keynote addresses the power of the individual or
the group/organization to dream big dreams…even “impossible dreams”
(remember, the last song in the play, Too Dream
the Impossible Dream! I will
custom the keynote for your event, theme or topic. In addition, this powerful
keynote can “spring board” to more in-depth presentations. Of course, I will
write a new keynote for your group if this is what you want, but this will
always cost more.
Specializations:
leadership, management, education, organizational behavior, human development,
human relationships and the sub-topics of each. In addition, my presentations
can be humorous, serious, topical, motivational, inspirational, or a combination
of all. Concerning humor: I considered myself a humorist … not a comedian.
FIRST, I SUGGEST YOU CONTACT MY REFERENCES. YOU WILL BE GLAD YOU DID! (See below)
Second, I suggest you review my web page, www.papajoe.biz. I think you will find it informative, and it does have a good picture of me with one of my horses, Hera, an Arabian mare that I bought from the equine rescue organization, Lone Star Equine Rescue (www.lser.org) to which I belong. (Don’t let the professional vita run you off. I do have some common sense also!)
In addition, I will develop the topic for you and with you if this is your wish. The length of time is your decision. The final topic is your decision. If it is something I am not qualified to do I will tell you up front. However, there are not too many topics I haven’t been able to talk about or present. I have always been “blest with the give of gab” as my old aunt used to say. But with the “gab” also comes substance. I deliver.
Cost varies according to topic, your budget, how much research has to be done, length of time, etc. Prices can begin as low as $500 for certain non-profit organizations, plus expenses. (However, no lower than what you have already budgeted). Of course, I will work with you in this area. I have found that clients sometimes deny themselves quality national speakers just because they don’t talk to them personally for whatever reasons…usually the fear of going over budget. Talk to me. Don’t deny yourself the services of a quality national speaker. Besides, I would rather work with you then stay home and do house work.
Furthermore, I do guarantee my services. If you are not satisfied with my presentation I will return and do one for free, excluding travel expenses. In addition, once we come to an agreement, I will not drop you for a higher paying speaking event. (Hint: Always check this out.)
Yes, I can make a living doing this because my “word” as is important to me…plus I have a wife working full time. And, I’m frugal in lifestyle so I can bring you exemplary services at a reasonable rate.
I would like to talk to you about this special event. You can e-mail me your number and I can call you; or you can call me at the toll free number below.
Sincerely,
Joseph [Joe] G. Summy, Ed.D.

SPECIAL
NOTE CONCERNING REFERENCES: I have been a speaker for over 30 years in my
profession, as a community leader, and as a church leader. To list all my
references would be impossible and also egotistical. I started speaking
“professionally” in the fall of 2003. So what I have done with my reference
list is provide some references that have known me for a long time and the
others are recent clients. This should keep things balanced. People who pay for
your services and don’t know you don’t lie…and people who have known you
for a long time don’t lie…unless, of course, one happens to be your mother.
I did not include her. PJ
