Topics for Troy Hazard

Design it - Define it - Deliver it!
In this presentation Troy will guide the audience through a highly effective process that has led him to the success he has achieved throughout his personal and business life.
‘When we think of what we want our life to look like, most people have a vision, or at least a dream. Many have set goals to help realize that vision. And some have a plan to achieve those goals. Surprisingly, a lot of us miss the most important part of creating a vision. And that is to consider how those elements come together strategically, for every part of our lives.
This happens largely because we tend to think of the influencers on our lives in single dimensions.’
Troy’s real-life experience inspires audiences to have a different perspective on where they are going, and how they are going to get there.
‘It took me years to realize that vision is not created from a single dimension. As a result, my life was disjointed. My business vision was not delivering the results I needed to help me achieve what I wanted out of my personal or life vision, and because of that, I lacked focus. That revelation inspired me to take a more universal view of how the different dimensions in our journey need to work together towards a shared vision. The personal dimension, the life dimension, and the business dimension. I learnt that success centred around all 3 fitting together, strategically. As if in 3D’.
Design it - Don’t try and predict the future, instead, design it. Take control of your destiny, or it will control you – ‘be steadfast on the outcome you want, rather than one you could be driven to accept’.
Define it – Metrics are not universal. They are unique to the circumstances you are dealing with – ‘define focus on your core purpose, positioning, and universal plan. And redefine it, continually’.
Deliver it - We know we need to execute to achieve our vision, but many struggle with how to execute, in particular when certain circumstances get easier, or harder. To ensure he is executing, Troy has a ‘3-way execution strategy’ in place. So, he doesn’t have to change direction to deliver the plan, just change lanes – ‘having 3 alternate strategic journeys ensures you reach your destination, on time. Without the need to ‘pivot’.
Audiences will walk away from this presentation with new clarity that will inspire change. Put simply, Troy’s intuitive and high energy delivery leads individuals to create a vision that will make a difference in their lives, and to live that vision out, in 3D.
Future-proofing your business - Prepare your business for tomorrow, today
Troy Hazard had bought, grown and sold more companies before his 40th birthday than some business people would even consider in a lifetime.
Troy's real world experience is the foundation of this keynote presentation, his Amazon bestselling business book of the same title, and his National Network Cable TV Business Talk show in the USA. And it is what has kept audiences engaged in 23 countries.
Through his businesses and working as a consultant for some of the world's biggest brands Troy has developed proven strategies to predict issues in business before you need to experience them.
This entrepreneurial experience was recognized when he became a leader of leaders as the Global President of The Entrepreneurs' Organization (www.eonetwork.org).
In this presentation Troy will step through a process to identify if you are driving your business into the future, or into the ground. And he will send participants out the door with actionable tactical ideas they can apply instantly.

Purpose, passion, people and profits - Guiding your business with clarity and vision to a more profitable future
What if you knew the 'one thing' that would show your business the path out of the GLOOM and into the BOOM? Serial entrepreneur Troy Hazard believes the answer is not found within something you seek, but more in something you already have and may have forgotten.
Troy is an entrepreneurial veteran who had bought, sold and grown more companies before his 40th birthday than some business people would even consider in a lifetime. As a result he has seen his fair share of cycles in the economy. In the first recession of the late 80's he lost $250,000. In the second one in the mid 90's the amount was closer to $1 million. In the tech wreck and the more recent correction of 2008, it was an entirely different outcome!
It was through these tough lessons early in his business career, that he developed a powerful personal strategy that helped him unlock greater purpose. This strategy reignited his passion and in turn that of the people he led, so he could go on to grow and develop a series of successful profitable companies over the course of a decade.
In this keynote Troy provides simple steps to the clarity of vision you need to give your business a more purposeful view of the future.
He will show you how to:
- Unlock the true value of the clarity of vision.
- Find your personal purpose.
- Use passion to drive power.
- Inspire the people you lead to have the same vision, purpose and passion.
- Master the strategy of profits to the POWER of 3.
Revenue through relationships - Developing significant customer connection
In a world of connectivity, why is it that we sometimes fail to really 'connect' as humans? In our personal lives we all enjoy relationships that revolve around authenticity, honesty, openness, vulnerability, and respect. Yet in business we often treat the development of key relationships as a mechanical, somewhat technical event, as opposed to an emotional bond with another person. Why?
Given the new normal for business is faster, better, yesterday, it's no surprise that the way we interact with our customer base has changed. However, the core reason for them wanting to connect has not.
Troy will demonstrate how to develop effective and efficient strategies to embrace the true emotion of a relationship in business and harness that with the technology we have come to rely on so heavily.
He will offer real world examples of what he has done in his businesses to not only stay relevant to his customer base, but also remain significant, in turn facilitating extraordinary growth.
Troy's presentation delivers answers for how to:
- Identify the 5 key reasons why people do business with you.
- Use the new voice of word of mouth.
- Talk TO your customers not AT them.
- Maintain relationships that are emotive, distinctive, and collaborative.
- Develop the 6 relationships that drive revenue in your business.
Embrace evolution - Be first to change or first to die!
It's a fact - change is constant, change is inevitable, change is good... Unless, of course, it's forced.
As business leaders we'd all love to tell our team to Change or DIE! For many years this was the catch cry in Troy Hazard's businesses - until he learned that the more effective way to facilitate change was to 'embrace evolution'.
Through his 30 years as a business consultant and business owner of twelve companies Troy has turned around countless businesses. His philosophy is that you make change a consciousness in the business, not just an action. And to do that, you need to embrace evolution.
In this presentation Troy will walk you down the path to conscious change. He will identify the killers of change and how to avoid them, the drivers of change and how to harness them, the facilitators of change and how to inspire them, and how to put this all into your master P.L.A.N.
Troy's presentation delivers real life lessons for how to:
- Avoid things that cripple a culture of conscious change.
- Develop evolutionary awareness in your business.
- Create a culture in your business that drives change.
- Hire and inspire team members to be evolutionary.
Speed Leading - How to become a better leader faster
Leading people is tough, particularly in changing times. Everyone has an opinion on how to lead, and what makes a good leader. So, what is the best way to become a better leader, faster? Ask a leader of leaders. Troy Hazard is a business veteran with 13 companies he has founded, built and sold over 30 years.
His entrepreneurial and leadership excellence was recognized when he was elected Global President of the Entrepreneurs' Organization (http://www.eonetwork.org). This group is comprised of some of the world's greatest business leaders, employing 1.7 million people around the world with combined revenue of $160 billion. In short, Troy has proven himself in one of the toughest leadership roles on the planet.
In this session, Troy will explain why the speed of your personal evolution as a leader has a direct impact on the evolution of your business and those you lead.
