JJ Brun
Retired Spy - Bilingual speaker - English and French contact [email protected] to book
JJ Brun, better known as the Retired Spy, has developed a great talent for helping people get their ideas across by simply learning how to read others. He is an Interpersonal Skills Expert. This expertise is recognized internationally in utilizing cultural insights as a strategy to effectively communicate, relate and connect across cultures. Trained by the military to operate in hostile environments to work with, and get buy-in from, very skeptical locals, he is truly someone who has walked the talk. He was with the Canadian Forces in Bosnia where, amid the chaos of blurred front lines and unstable loyalties, he established a network of local contacts pulling in critical cooperation, using some of the techniques your audience will learn in this session.
Whether you are communicating with employees, colleagues or family or involved in negotiations, you will get buy-in after hearing this keynote. He uses entertaining and captivating stories from the field and from home to help his audiences see how changing a few words can make a world of difference when they can read people.
Speech Topics
What do you really mean?
Brun is a retired spy for the Canadian Military and an expert on how to read people. He delivers an entertaining and educational presentation that appeals to everyone in both their business and personal lives. His message is especially important for owners of a small business, which is a mix of family and employees, such as a farm and it is a particular hit with people who attend with their spouses. In this brief 60 minute speech (in either English or French) they will learn so much about themselves and about each other that it will leave the women rolling their eyes and the men shaking their heads in awe of their new-found discovery. With wonderful anecdotes, Brun takes us on a tour of why people do and say the things they do. And why they don’t always follow our advice or accept our ideas.
