Magic Johnson: The Game Changer lessons from the hottest Leadership Speaker in America.
Rave Speakers is proud to represent America’s most requested motivational speaker Magic Johnson. Magic’s popularity has increased greatly with online meetings for at-home workforces, as so many more employees from a single company can “attend” a Magic Johnson keynote speech via zoom or WebEx or On24—and the pricing for Magic is half of his in-person fees.

Here are the notes that Tiger 21 shared from Magic’s talk at this important online event:

From Planning to Execution, to Overcoming Adversity, to Risk and Preparedness, even to Teamwork and Leadership—these freestylers of climbing check all the boxes when it comes to what at-home attendees demand.
Climbing a mountain with no ropes nor harnesses: the perfect analogy for business adversity.
You may have read that Emily Harrington has just become the first female to free-climb Yosemite’s El Capitan Mountain in one single day.
