Kevin Brown  

Motivational Speaker & Bestselling Author | Creator of The Hero Effect®

Kevin Brown’s unconventional path to business and personal success has taught him that winning in business and in life requires anything but conventional thinking. With a streetwise aptitude and a never quit attitude, he worked his way from the front lines in business to the executive boardroom.

Brown understands what drives organizational excellence and customer loyalty. He knows first-hand how great brands think, feel, and act. He is a branding and culture expert with a 30+ year career in franchise development.

Since 2016, he has traveled the world pursuing a mission to share The HERO Effect® message with as many people and organizations as possible.

The HERO Effect® is a simple philosophy that separates world-class organizations and high-performance people from everybody else.

The Hero Effect®: Being Your Best When it Matters the Most!

In a fresh and entertaining style, Kevin shares ideas, strategies and principles that will inspire and equip participants to show up every day and make a positive difference. At the heart of Kevin’s message is a simple, yet powerful philosophy for life that drives every thought, every action and ultimately every result we achieve both personally and professionally. Your team will be motivated to reach beyond what is required and do something remarkable!

THIS PROGRAM IS DESIGNED TO HELP PARTICIPANTS:

  • Achieve greater results by eliminating “ordinary" thinking and mastering the habit of excellence.

  • Own the moments that matter (and they all matter) by taking responsibility for their attitude, their actions and their results.

  • Create meaningful relationships and deliver an extraordinary experience for every “customer” at work and at home.

KEY THEMES:

Heroes Help People...with NO STRINGS ATTACHED! They go “all in” every time they take the field. They understand that in business and in life it’s always personal and never perfect. Heroes create strong connections and reach beyond the borders of transactional thinking to create transformational moments!

Heroes Create an Exceptional Experience: The HERO’s calling card is pure excellence. It’s about using our talents, gifts and abilities to their fullest potential and highest purpose. The HERO uses the best of who they are to serve more people, more often, in bigger and better ways.

Heroes Take Responsibility: HEROES own the moments that matter! They live by a simple code: “bring your best stuff to the present moment and pour it into the lives of others.” They understand that before you can lead anyone else, you must first be able to lead yourself. The HERO owns their attitude, their actions and their results. They are committed to the best possible outcome in every situation regardless of circumstances or events beyond their control.

Heroes Live and Work with Optimism: HEROES see the world differently. For them, it’s not about positive thinking, it’s about perspective. Looking through the lens of optimism gives the HERO supernatural vision. They see what others cannot. They see opportunities instead of obstacles – possibilities instead of problems. When things go wrong…and they will…optimism is what helps the HERO turn life’s messes into a masterpiece.
