THE LUXURY MINDSET: HOW TO GET THE ATTENTION OF THE BUYER THAT’S RIGHT FOR YOUR BRAND

Format: 60 minutes Keynote

 

The Luxury Mindset: How to get the attention of the buyer that’s right for your brand

In the world of luxury, it’s tempting for brands to focus on the products and services themselves—the prestige names that signal investment and consumption.

What if I told you that luxury isn’t about expensive things—it’s about experiences?

And that every experience can be elevated by adapting a luxury mindset?

What if there was a way to develop and foster a luxury mindset in your organization, and identify your customers as well so that you can get the attention of the buyer that’s important to your brand?

Using a combination of Neen’s proven systems of attention and her proprietary research on the luxury buyer mindset, she helps luxury brands in the travel, hospitality, and retail space:

  • Develop a luxury attention mindset for teams that elevates every client interaction
  • Help sales teams appeal to affluent women luxury consumers in their own unique language
  • Leverage their assets to best communicate to consumers
  • Create exceptional experiences that pay attention to customers and guests and invite them to share their experiences with others
  • Understand what unique opportunities that encourage their customers to pay for more exclusivity.
  •  

This program is perfect for:

  • Leaders in corporate and luxury brands
  • Sales leaders in corporate, luxury, and entrepreneurial businesses 

 

The audience will:

  • Develop a luxury attention mindset for teams that elevates every client interaction
  • Help sales teams appeal to affluent women luxury consumers in their own unique language
  • Leverage their assets to best communicate to consumers

ATTENTION PAYS™: HOW TO DRIVE PROFITABILITY, PRODUCTIVITY AND ACCOUNTABILITY

Neen’s most requested keynote. Why? It changes EVERYTHING.
To get the results you want, you need to get attention. But most people don’t know how to get it and keep it. People often see attention as a transaction, something to trade, but it’s much more than that. Neen has identified that people pay attention at three different levels; personal, professional, and global, and she’s designed a powerful methodology that makes it easy to leverage all three. Neen’s Intentional Attention model helps individuals and organizations be more deliberate about the choices we make and the actions we take.
Join speaker, author, and sassy little Aussie, Neen James, and discover what makes attention valuable and why paying attention in very specific ways drives profitability, productivity and accountability.
You’ll learn:

  • Why we get attention wrong (and how to get it right)
  • The three types of attention, Personal, Professional and Global and how to master each
  • Strategies to design work and personal environments for optimal attention and focus
  • How to turn your technology and devices from frustrating distractions to powerful levers
  • A simple framework to get your team aligned, focused and executing faster than ever

After a recent presentation on the topic, a Comcast executive shared, “Neen motivated, captivated, and inspired an auditorium our senior leaders. She showed us how our good leaders can become great leaders and is a trusted mentor to our company. Neen is in a league of her own. Her impact on our organization simply can’t be overstated.

FOLDING TIME™: HOW TO FOCUS YOUR TIME, ENERGY AND ATTENTION TO MAKE AN IMPACT

What if we’ve been thinking about productivity all wrong? 

As leaders, we are constantly being asked to do more with less. So we focus on being more “productive” and trying to get twice as much done in half the time. But no matter how productive we get, our calendars are triple-booked and our inboxes are overflowing.
The goal isn’t to get the most work done. It’s to get the most important work done, efficiently and effectively. To do that, we need to not only manage our time, but focus our attention, and leverage our energy. 

In this program you will learn:

  • How to choose your most strategic time window based on your personal productivity style
  • Understand how to identify and eliminate distractions and “attention killers”
  • How The 15-Minute Rule can help you increase your sense of control and move all your  projects forward
  • How to “make time in time” and turn unproductive windows into magical moments

One media executive shared ‘Neen creates an environment of development, learning and accountability for all groups. She helped us really focus and be mindful of what we pay attention to in our work and personal lives. We have added her techniques to our daily routine and my team love the new level of productivity.’ 

IDEA SHAPING: USE CONTEXTUAL MODELS TO HELP PEOPLE SEE YOUR IDEAS

Stephen Covey’s four quadrants. The Food Pyramid. Simon Sinek’s Golden Circle. These ideas spread and impacted millions of people.

Your ideas are powerful and they deserves to spread. But before they can spread, people need to understand them. And one of the most powerful tools to help people understand your ideas is a contextual model.

For years, Neen James has been helping speakers, leaders and visionaries translate their ideas into powerful, spreadable, repeatable contextual models. Today, she’s here today to help you do just that.

Neen will share:

  • When ideas spread (and when they don’t) and how a powerful contextual model will help you communicate, spread and make more money from your ideas
  • Why visuals are a vital communication tool to accelerate engagement and deeper understanding
  • A proven methodology and specific language to assist sales conversations and provide a competitive edge

REMOTE WORKING: HOW TO STAY PRODUCTIVE AND FOCUS ON WHAT MATTERS!

You don’t have time to do everything; only have time to do what matters!

We are constantly being asked to do more with less and it’s even harder if you are working remotely and haven’t done that before!

If we can get clear about those activities that make the biggest difference to our productivity and create environments that allow us to focus, we can get twice as much done in half time and free ourselves up to get on with whatever else we choose.

This virtual program is perfect for anyone who wants more control so they can manage their time, focus their attention, and manage their energy while working remotely.

In Neen’s high-energy program you will:

  • Increase time accountability so you can achieve more
  • Create a prioritization process for everyday application
  • Discover strategies to set up an environment that will help you stay focused
  • Eliminate distractions and increase your effectiveness
  • Create a productive personal action plan for implementation each day

If you feel overwhelmed and not sure where to start, you might need this. You will leave this practical and entertaining program understanding how you leverage time and get more done in your remote location!
