Workshop and Seminar Topics:

I've spoken on several topics at conferences and workshops over the years, but the following are talks which are often requested by groups. Although they were originally created for larger venues, I've presented variations of them at company training sessions and staff retreats.

For more information about these talks and others, please email me at craig@craighodgkins.com.

"Walt Disney's Life Lessons"

He may be best known today as the name above a very large corporate door, but Walt Disney was a real person, a hard-working creative genius who co-founded (with his brother, Roy) the company which still bears his name. And though he has become a symbol to many for the values he has come to represent (such as imagination, vision and perseverance), he learned each lesson through a variety of positive and negative life experiences. Take a fascinating and entertaining journey through Walt Disney Company history to learn Walt Disney's personal and business values, how he developed them, and how they can apply to your life and work today.

Length: 2 to 4 hours, depending on venue and conference schedule.

Next Public Presentation: February, March, April & May in Orange County, Houston, Atlanta and Cincinnati. Dates and Details to follow.

"Being Roy Disney in a Walt Disney World"

How to Thrive in Your Relationship with Your Senior Leader

Your organization has only one senior leader…and it probably isn’t you. But don’t despair! You can add great value and make a difference even if you’re not “Numero Uno.” The key? Developing and nurturing a working relationship with the person who is. This historical, inspirational and practical seminar offers real life examples from one of the most influential working relationships in entertainment history—Walt and Roy Disney—and will equip you to start developing a personalized strategy to apply what you’ve discovered.

Length: 2-4 hours, depending on the venue and conference schedule.

Is It OK to Laugh in Church?

A light, lively and practical look at the use of humor in worship services. After discussing the vital question of “Why,” you’ll learn some universal comedy rules, discover how the “Seven Discern-Ables” will help you determine what (and what NOT) to do, and begin to develop personalized strategies to implement what you’ve learned at your church.

Length: 45-90 minutes, depending on the venue and conference schedule.
