Linda Larsen, MFA, CSP was selected as the closing main platform speaker for the 2012 Annual Meeting of the

MILLION DOLLAR ROUND TABLE in Anaheim, California

She wrote a keynote specifically for the prestigous group of financial planners and insurance professionals entitled:

"LIGHTS! CAMERA! ...  -  Creating a Blockbuster Hit Movie Called The Adventures of YOU!

Based on their specific requests, objectives and needs.

And it was a huge hit!

"Linda Larsen's poignant message and fantastic delivery was the perfect combinationto bring us near the close of an outstanding meeting.  Attendees left the meeting knowing that they controlled their destiny by the scenes they write for themselves. Linda was an absolute delight!

Sarah J. Kaelberer, Vice President, Business & Estate Advisors, Inc.,

So here's....

The Scoop, the Whole Scoop and Nothing but the Scoop...

Linda is masterful at helping people shift their thinking and upgrade their skills - and does so in such extraordinarily fun, fast-paced and memorable ways that she has become a meeting planners dream come true.

Looking to blow people's socks not only off but right through the roof?

"I don't think any of us were prepared for the final serenade, but let me tell you, you brought down the house!"
Michael Honeycutt, Sr. VP, Air Conditioning Contractors of America

Hint: Does the image of a fairly professional looking white woman on the far side of 50 doing a really cool rap song pique your curiosity?

From go-go dancer to social worker, from professional actress to trial consultant, and from kidnap victim to best-selling author, Linda brings a treasure trove of experience, passion, wisdom, humor and spontaneity to the platform.

Looking to give your people useful, relevant skills wrapped in high hilarity?

"Linda is so engaging and funny. I don't think we realized that we were learning valuable lessons until the next day when our sides had stopped hurting."
Terry Stringer, Learning & Development, El Paso Corporation

Linda believes that her job is 1) to give your clients' audiences and sponsors such an exquisite experience that they want to come back year after year; 2) to make you and your client look reeeeeeeeally good and; 3) be the easiest, most well-prepared, hassle free, home-run partner both you and your client work with.

"She was absolute PERFECTION! I'm getting incredible feedback and can't go 5 feet without one of our $20K sponsors or registrants stopping me to say how fabulous she was!"
Kim Fuller, Conference Chair, North American Assoc. of Commencement Officers

"As a meeting planner, I truly appreciate your quick responses and for making me look like a star planner. You were fabulous!"
Anna Jenkins, Director of Education, Texas Apartment Association

And talk about riveting! Her critically acclaimed book, True Power, is the dramatic and true story of how she was kidnapped and held at gunpoint by an escaped convict for over 5 hours. Her experience, and the positive, practical strategies she used to escape led Investor's Business Daily to feature her in its Leaders & Success column. And yes, she can even tell THIS story with moments of strategically placed humor.

Linda holds a Bachelor of Social Work, a Master of Fine Arts, and is the author of 5 national training video programs, and 2 audio programs, including the popular 12 Secrets to High Self-Esteem (over 90,000 copies sold to date.) She has also written or been featured in over 100 articles in such publications as The Chicago Tribune, Women In Business, and Personal Excellence.
