After more than 20 years of working in and observing companies of every type and size, Scott Hunter has noticed a trait all successful firms share.
“They have enthusiastic, confident, optimistic, appreciative and happy people who work together on behalf of a future they have all committed themselves to,” says Hunter, a speaker and business coach who presents a series of seminars at the Pumper & Cleaner Expo on “The Mindset of Leadership” and “Creating an Outrageously Successful Organization.” His March 2 Education Day program begins at 8 a.m. at the Kentucky Exposition Center.
Hunter, also author of the book, Unshackled Leadership, helps companies transform themselves through his keynote speeches, workshops and retreats. Since 1985, he has worked with hundreds of businesses and more than 250,000 people, helping to produce breakthroughs in personal and professional lives and setting the stage for companies to achieve results far beyond expectations.
All about people
“People who come to the Pumper & Cleaner Expo have a particular expertise, and there is an art and science to what they do,” says Hunter. “But there is also an art and science of how to run a business successfully and profitably, and that’s what many people don’t understand.”
The morning sessions focus on the people skills it takes to be truly successful. “We’ll show attendees how to be leaders, how to build a team, how to inspire and motivate people, and how to have their business be a place where people want to work,” Hunter says. “It’s about listening to people. It’s about caring for people. It’s about being focused on building a team.
“You don’t want to be focused just on making money. You want to be focused on creating that group of enthusiastic, confident, optimistic, appreciative and happy people.”
