Bill Stainton

29-time Emmy award winning TV producer/performer produces seriously award-winning teams.

What do you get when you take a guy who has: • won 29 Emmy Awards in the field of Entertainment, • written for HBO, NPR, Comedy Central, and The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, and, • worked with celebrities like Jerry Seinfeld, Ellen DeGeneres, and Bob Newhart; And combine him with a guy who: • worked in corporate management, leading teams, for 20 years, • owns two corporations, and, • has authored nine corporate training programs on subjects from Customer Service to Leadership and Teambuilding; You get one-of-a-kind presentations that your audience will never forget!

Bill is a multiple Emmy Award winning TV producer, writer, and performer; a popular keynote speaker; an author; and an internationally-recognized Beatles expert

Not bad for a kid who grew up behind a dairy farm in the Amish countryside of Lancaster, Pennsylvania.

Today Bill helps leaders produce seriously award-winning teams through his keynotes (always customized!), workshops, books and articles, and training tools.

For 15 years, Bill was the executive producer of Seatte's legendary comedy TV show, Almost Live! (which also enjoyed a two and a half year run in national syndication on Comedy Central). Along the way, he won 29 Emmy Awards for his work as a producer, writer, and performer. More important, Bill led his team to 10 straight years of #1 ratings and more than 100 Emmy Awards of their own!

His twenty-plus years in corporate management taught him how to lead a team; his work with people like Jerry Seinfeld and Ellen DeGeneres taught him how to entertain an audience.

Maybe that's why one client said, "If Jerry Seinfeld were a business speaker, he'd be Bill Stainton!"

In today's uncertain business environment, creativity and innovation are more important than ever. This truly is a time when "the next great idea" could change the course of an industry.

You CAN get more ideas--and better results--from your team! Multiple Emmy Award winning TV producer Bill Stainton knows how, because he did it with his team—week after week. So how, exactly, did he lead his team to 10 straight years of #1 ratings and more than 100 Emmy Awards of their own? And how can you get these kinds of results in your industry, with your team?

What's the ROI for this presentation? In this content-rich keynote, your attendees will learn how to:

IT'S SHOWTIME! PRODUCING AWARD-WINNING RESULTS IN BUSINESS AND IN LIFE

How would your organization be different if everyone stopped making excuses and started producing better results in every area of their lives? Not "later," not "some day," but now! Because when it's showtime, all that matters is results. And in your business, as well as in your life, every day is showtime.

Multiple Emmy Award winning TV producer Bill Stainton has discovered that whether you're producing an award-winning TV show, an award-winning team, or an award-winning life, real results come down to three simple questions.

What's the ROI for this presentation? In this fun, uplifting, and informative keynote, your attendees will learn to ask:

• What's the show? A TV producer has to know, first and foremost, what kind of show he or she is producing. Is it a half-hour comedy or a 90-minute documentary? Likewise, you need to know what outcome you want to achieve—whether it's for a specific project, your business in general, or your entire life. What's the show?
• Who's the cast? Success is not a solo operation. Just as a TV show needs a cast, you need to decide who you're going to have on your team—short-term or long-term—to help you reach your outcome. Who's your cast?
• Where's the script? Without a script, a TV show is just a bunch of actors standing around in a TV studio. A script is a roadmap; it's the game plan. Without a script, you're leaving your success to chance; with a script, you've got a way to get there. Produce an award-winning script, and you'll produce award-winning results.

WHAT A GREAT IDEA! (UNLOCKING YOUR INNOVATIVE SMARTS)

Staying ahead of the competition requires innovative ideas—lots of them! This interactive and highly entertaining workshop will put your attendees in touch with their own unique sense of innovation and creativity. Using the tools of professional comedy writers, they'll learn how to look at situations differently and see possibilities that remain hidden to others.

This program is an ideal breakout session to complement any of Bill's keynote presentations, and can be customized to fit any time slot from 30 minutes to 1 1/2 hours.

What's the ROI for this presentation? Your attendees will learn:

• how to exercise their creative muscles in order to find solutions that others miss
• an easy (almost effortless!) way to cultivate greater creativity in their own teams
• a simple—and fun—way to build team cohesiveness and cooperation in times of stress
• that they ARE, in fact, innovative thinkers!
