Steinberg's "Be Money on the Green" Delivers Impact and Value at Corporate Golf Events
Elite athletes such as Tiger Woods, Michael Jordan, and Annika Sorenstam are often on the wish lists of event planners charged with producing dynamic incentive programs, client appreciation conferences, and similar VIP events. The problem is, many of these high profile sports figures require six-figure appearance fees, if they are available at all. Now offering an affordable yet high impact alternative is Dr. Gregg Steinberg, sport psychologist, author of MentalRules for Golf, popular motivational keynote speaker, and authority on the "Heart of a Champion."
Nashville, TN (PRWEB) June 11, 2007 -- Elite athletes such as Tiger Woods, Michael Jordan, and Annika Sorenstam are often on the wish lists of event planners charged with producing dynamic incentive programs, client appreciation conferences, and similar VIP events. The problem is, many of these high profile sports figures require six-figure appearance fees, if they are available at all. Now offering an affordable yet high impact alternative is Dr. Gregg Steinberg.
Dr. Steinberg -- or Dr. Gregg, as he prefers -- is a sport psychologist, author, speaker, and authority on the "Heart of a Champion." He has been published extensively in academic sport psychology journals such as The Sport Psychologist and The International Journal of Sport Psychology, and he is also author of the well-respected sport psychology book, MentalRules for Golf. In MentalRules, Dr. Gregg goes in-depth into the process of understanding the psychology behind the sport of golf and helps "the rest of us" apply the same techniques used by the pros for greater success on the green and in business. He now does the same when he appears at corporate events across the country with an increasingly popular presentation, "Be Money on the Green."
In "Be Money," Dr. Gregg shares anecdotes and lessons learned from champion athletes ranging from Woods to Jordan to Muhammad Ali. For example, why does Tiger wear a red shirt on Sundays? Is it simply a ritual or does it serve some greater purpose? Dr. Gregg explains that for Tiger, it does serve a greater purpose. He feels more aggressive when he wears his red colored shirt, and as a result, plays more aggressively in his pursuit of going low for the win. Dr. Gregg shows audience members how the underlying principle -- that we infer our emotions from our actions -- can boost their performance on the greens, and also in the workplace. Attendees walk away from the program with more energy, more focus, and more confidence, having learned from not just one star athlete, but from many.
"We are very appreciative to Gregg and his ability to bring real life, golf and business together in a short, simple format that stimulates positive conversation," says Bart F. O'Brien, a financial advisor with Merrill Lynch. Merrill Lynch, one of the world's leading financial management and advisory companies, has repeatedly engaged Dr. Gregg to deliver "Be Money on the Green" to groups of business owners brought together for a discussion on retirement plans. Dr. Steinberg's presentation is "truly energizing," O'Brien adds.
Dr. Gregg's event involvement does not have to end on the speaking platform, though. Organizations often ask him to join meeting attendees on the golf course after his session concludes. Dr. Gregg is happy to oblige, joining event participants for a fun afternoon of golf while continuing to offer nuggets of proven wisdom along the way. When the golfers shave a stroke or two off their scores on the day, they leave the conference site encouraged and invigorated, ready to return to their offices and apply the lessons learned to their respective businesses.
More than a speaker who tells interesting and entertaining stories, Dr. Gregg gives his audience members proven, hands-on tools that have worked with champions in all walks of life. When event planners schedule Dr. Gregg for their programs, they can be confident their attendees will walk away feeling and acting like winners.
Be on the lookout for Dr. Gregg's next book, Capture the Heart of a Champion: 102 Strategies to Get Inspired, Engaged and Energized at Work and in Life.
