Kim Ratz

Helping people create more harmony in their own life,
and in their relationships with others ...

I have been asked several times about who I would recommend as an inspirational speaker to kick off a fall event for schools. Kim Ratz immediately comes to mind. I used Kim at the OACOA Conference and he was very well received. He customizes his programs to meet his clients needs, his program is professionally delivered and full of energy, and his ideas and information are relevant to educators and immediately useful. But the most obvious feature he offers a meeting planner is his wonderful music - it truly inspires the listener and energizes the message. - Bill Beck, Confederation of Oregon School Administrators

Why Hire a Professional Speaker?

When choosing a speaker for your next event, you'll have many concerns:

  • Will the audience enjoy the speaker's presentation?
  • Will the audience receive the message I want them to get?
  • Will there be hidden costs involved with this speaker?
  • Will the speaker make me look good?
  • And, unfortunately -- Will the speaker even show up?

When you hire Kim Ratz you can rest assured you've hired a professional! As a member of the National Speakers Association (NSA) he's joined a group of dedicated individuals concerned with the interests of all who come in contact with the profession.

10 reasons to hire Kim:

  • Kim is an expert - he's well known for his attitude of THRIVING!, his resiliency and ability to manage his transitions when "change hits," and especially known for his ability to build relationships with people. He excels in his content because he "walks his talk"; Kim models his points and can help you to incorporate these strategies in practical ways that will work for you, daily. Kim believes strongly that these techniques can increase the degree of "harmony" you experience in your own life, and in relationships with others. This is key to feeling happy and successful in the things that are important to you!

  • Kim is a professional - he not only shares strong content, but does so in an ethical, professional and effective manner. As an active member of NSA, Kim regularly participates in his own professional growth so he can do his best, to help you do your best.

  • You'll love his music! You may have heard parts of his messages via other people or programs, but not the way Kim shares them. You too will enjoy the way he skillfully uses his original music (guitar and singing) to emphasize key points, engage the audience and energize the message. Kim's music is an effective teaching tool - people pay attention, so they "get it," can "remember it," and can "use it" when needed. Kim's musical programs also show that learning can be fun.

  • Kim Is experienced - he's been giving presentations since he was a teenager, and professionally for nearly 30 years! He's owned and operated his own speaking business since 1994 and presented to hundreds of groups and tens of thousands of people all over North America. He's always looking for personal growth and new ways to share new information and bring more benefits to you.

  • Kim is focused on outcomes and results for his audience - he wants his programs to help you and make a difference in your ability to achieve your goals and dreams. At a minimum you'll feel energized and more hopeful about your future, PLUS, you'll know some practical techniques to use in a challenging situation to keep you on track towards your goals, and minimize regrets. Adult learners need to be involved and they need "take-aways."

  • Kim is flexible and resilient- many meeting planners have deeply appreciated how willing and able Kim is to "shift on the fly", modify plans, fill in unexpectedly at the last minute or otherwise accomodate a need or challenge. As a professional speaker, he can anticipate things that can go wrong and plan ahead, anticipating options and choices.

  • Kim customizes each program to each audience and incorporates the message into your mission, theme, goals, and members' issues and opportunities. He doesn't use a "one size fits all" approach; he'll listen and learn about your group, your agenda, your needs.

  • Kim tries to arrive early and stay for at least awhile after his programs to connect with people, and to help you find ways to apply ideas and information to your issues and opportunities. His goal is to offer you as much value as he can; Kim wants to do as much as he can for you during the time he's at your event.

  • Kim offers his promise of "Satisfaction Guaranteed!" If you aren't at least satisfied with the work he's done for you, you don't pay his fee.

  • Kim is easy to work with. Down to earth, easy to get to know and talk with. You have enough other details to tackle - you can be confident that he'll follow through.

And if these aren't enough, I also give you my promise that you will be at least satisfied with my services - or you don't pay my fee. Only out-of-pocket expenses such as airfare and other travel costs. This reflects my commitment to you that your investment is valued, and will be returned through quality service.

Call me today - TOLL FREE so we can start discussing your next event to see if my programs and style are a "good fit" and can bring value and benefits to you and your colleagues.
