Meet Edmond Otis
Edmond Otis is unlike any motivational speaker or employee trainer you have ever encountered. More then simply motivate, he teaches people to be fearless. Not in the sense of taking unnecessary risks, or acting out of character. But fearless in the truest sense; being able to strategize effectively, act decisively, and communicate persuasively - when results are important - and outcomes matter!
As a speaker, Edmond combines cutting edge research, modern psychology, personal experience, and classic martial-art strategies to address our most difficult professional challenges. His unique perspective on being focused, effective, decisive, persuasive - FEARLESS - gives an audience the tools they need to overcome any challenge and achieve any goal.
As a trainer, Edmond specializes in delivering effective hands-on staff and management training programs in Leadership, Achieving Peak Performance, Strategic Thinking, Enhancing Communication Skills, Stress Management, Dealing with Difficult People, and Conflict Resolution. With specific industries his widely used “Safe and Sane” programs introduce cutting edge skills to Anger Management and the Threat of Violence.
A recent resident, seeking a change in perspective and new adventures, Edmond, with his wife and two children have recently moved to the Hawkes Bay region of New Zealand, expanding his successful business from Southern California, in the USA.
Edmond recognizes that despite its idyllic setting New Zealand, and neighboring Australia, face many of the same business and social challenges that are rampant in the States. Edmond has years of experience developing successful programs that face these issues. His AACT “Safe and Sane”, www.aact-now.com, programs are in use by business, schools, and social service organizations throughout Urban California. His experience, gained “in the trenches” make him ideally suited to the diversity and challenges that are an increasing reality in his new home.
