Motivational Speaker for Administrative Professionals 2023
Yes, you can choose your Attitude, even when the boss is driving you crazy, giving you tasks to do at the last minute, wondering why they haven’t been done, ignoring the fact that they’re not organized and they didn’t listen to your suggestions last week which is exactly what happened the previous week AND the week before that! Grrrr!
You know it. Administrative professionals and assistants are the back bone of your organization. Before I became a motivational keynote speaker, I worked in senor leadership positions in Ireland, the UK and USA.
When I think back on some of the ways, the excellent admin professionals who supported kept me out of trouble and on the straight and narrow, I marvel at the skill sets that good admin assistants have.
These include:
Admin Professionals are masters of organization. They kept track of my schedules, appointments, travel etc. some of which was done before the advent of all of the wonderful workplace productivity tools we now have.
Admin Professionals and Assistants are multi-taking wizards keeping track of too many “bosses,” being travel agents, guidance counsellors for your kids, design gurus, expense report gurus (OMG!) and so much more.
Admin Professionals are often the glue that keeps the office moving, knowing who to contact about what problem, knowing who not to contact about what problem and generally have a better insight into the day to day workings of your organization.

We had a membership meeting today and several members mentioned that they have found themselves recalling things that Conor told us in his presentation when they have been faced with difficult situations this week. Conor provided the perfect kick off to our conference, everyone left his session with valuable information and lots of energy!

Thank you so much for speaking to our team last week. Your presentation was powerful and precisely what I was hoping for. Your inspiring words were reinforced with humorous anecdotes, and truly had a profound impact on all of us as people and professionals. On behalf of all of us here at NEDSRA, thank you for your Gift of GAB, and also teaching us about Goals, Attitude and Behavior.

Conor we can’t thank you enough for speaking at our Symposium. Everyone loved your presentation- how could they not!!!
As nurses we need a little laughter with our Symposium’s. Our lives are too serious. YOU ARE A GREAT OPENER!!!
We always try to add humor whenever we can…..even at work. We try to keep things light if possible, especially when it’s busy.
After all, what do we want our attitudes to be…..I heard that somewhere.
We can’t thank you enough for providing the humor that we need.

Sample introduction for Motivational Humorous Speaker Admin Professionals / Assistants
Conor Cunneen is IrishmanSpeaks.
This man is happily exiled in the Chicago area where he says // the Guinness is good, // the natives are friendly and he has been force fed more corned beef and green beer than he ever had in Ireland.
Conor is a keynote speaker // an award winning humorist // and multiple author including two books on Mark Twain. Over the years, he has relied heavily on the multi-tasking wizardry of Administrative Professionals in Ireland, UK and USA.
As an Irish immigrant, he is a very proud recipient of the President’s Gold Medal for Volunteer Service for the work he does with the unemployed.
Living in the Chicago area, he has happily suffered the slings and arrows of being a Packers fan – which let’s face it, has not been very hard.
He loves his darling wife, Pat, two adult kids and adores his four year old grand-daughter – Maggie.
He is a Metallica fan!
What do I want to be famous for?
Leadership Speaker Chicago on the power of ‘What do I want to be famous for?”
.
As a Leadership speaker Chicago to Healthcare, Manufacturing and Corporate clients, I’ve spent many years exploring the importance of clear Goals and Vision with a lot of very smart people.
Developing clear vision is not an easy exercise, but I now boil this exercise down to one “simple” question –
“What do I want to be famous for?”
.
.
I don’t mean famous as in TV / Media fame but “What do I want to be famous for with my work colleagues / customers / stakeholders.” What do I want them to say about me / my business / my Brand when I am not in the room?
.
Positive Upbeat Attributes
I’m presuming you want them to make positive, upbeat, complimentary comments about your behavior and work practices – comments that suggest they appreciate your efforts and that they look forward to you being on their team for the next project.
Are you famous for being collaborative, proactive, innovative, compassionate, trustworthy, a go getter, someone who can be relied on, who keeps their promises and commitments?
.
What is the Headline?
In crafting your answer to “What do I want to be famous for?” – envision the end of year conference when you win employee of the year or you are profiled in the industry magazine. What is the headline?
You almost certainly will answer with positive qualities and attributes. The challenge for you is to live those qualities, but the first step is to ask and answer the question – “What do I want to be famous for?” Try it.

Inspirational Fun Speaker for Admin Professionals Day / Week
Choose Your Attitude!
As a speaker who once relied on Administrative Professionals to keep me someway on the right track, and now as a speaker for Administrative Professionals Day / Week, I often think about what makes the difference in a workplace environment.
As you will see from this short video clip, I truly believe that Attitude is critical in any environment.
This is a fun clip where I had a chat with a Chicago cop! I had to ask myself the question “What do I want my Attitude to be?”

Inspirational Funny Motivational Speaker for Nurses Week
When Audrey Fraser of the Association of Registered Nurses, Prince Edward Island contacted me to say she was seeking an “Inspirational Funny Motivational Speaker” for her nurses conference, I have to say I was intrigued because it is one part of Canada I had never visited.
The quaint town of Charlottetown is a wonderful bike ride, although I was sometimes asking “What do I want my Attitude to be?” when cycling up hill against really strong winds!! I love telling this Attitude story whether it is presenting as a funny motivational speaker to nurses or as a motivational leadership to the c-suite, the message about choosing your attitude is powerful.

I had an absolute blast speaking to the Association and was delighted to receive this wonderful testimonial from Audrey.
“Conor Cunneen was fantastic when he spoke to our 235 nurses. He nailed it on all levels: Learning, laughter, leadership, and always reminding us to keep the patient at the centre of our care.
We were absolutely delighted with this Irishman and his pragmatic approach to life and business. Thank you so much Conor. Thanks to you, 235 nurses are now planning their goals, thinking about what their brand will look like, what their attitudes should be and so much more.
You’re the best!!!!!”
