Set Your Sails for Success
Gary Mull's most popular presentation, the highly motivational and inspirational Set Your Sails for Success explores the metaphor of sailing and harnessing the natural forces and energies within to achieve results. This presentation investigates the qualities we must all bring to bear in dealing with the challenges of life, and how anyone can turn obstacles into opportunities.
The concepts explored by this presentation will form a constellation under which we can successfully navigate to personal and professional success, including:
Charting Your Course
Create a compelling vision, using your personal compass, that you can see clearly and want to achieve. Then, focus your energies with a powerful technique to get moving in the right direction!
Focusing on the horizon
Navigate stormy seas by eliminating disruptive and defeating behaviours.
Speaking With The Captain’s Voice
Learn effective skills and magic words that will give your message the power to inspire and motivate others.
After 25 years as a professional speaker, Gary Mull’s client list reads like a “Who’s Who” of professional organizations, government agencies, and Fortune 500 companies.
Gary is a Past International Director of Toastmasters, President of the Professional Speaker's Guild, Past Commander in the US Coast Guard Auxiliary, and Commodore of the Tampa Sailing Squadron.
Gary is the author of “Set Your Sails for Success”, and is featured in the book “Speaking of Success” with Steven Covey, Jack Canfield, and Ken Blanchard.
While none of our lives are always smooth sailing, in this presentation, Gary will share his insights and specific suggestions on how YOU can be more effective in organizations, in business, and in your personal life by... Setting Your Sails for Success!

Pandemic, Politics, Paranoia and Pessimism: What’s not to Celebrate!?
There’s a lot of bad stuff going on in the world these days, and someone wants you to celebrate!? “Are you kidding me?” (you say to yourself, or maybe out loud). Maybe you’d rather just opt out 'till all this passes - that’s a choice.
Or maybe – just maybe – there are reasons to celebrate. We just might have to dig a little deeper to find them… so let’s start digging!
Chris Ford is a professional speaker he and offers consulting services in communication, leadership, conflict transformation, change management, and team performance through his company - Generally Speaking. He is passionate about excellence in communication, and has refined his speaking, thinking, and listening skills – thanks to Toastmasters International and the Canadian Association of Professional Speakers.
Chris Ford - is a Past International President, a retired army general, a retired director-general. In fact, he’s “past” a lot of things, but not his best before date…. at least not yet! He’s a glass half-full kind of guy – okay most of the time. Join Chris in this search for reasons to celebrate…. and maybe together we can fill that glass!
