Prepare for the Worst with Best: Speaker Lt. General Russel L. Honoré

July 07, 2008

With the Midwest recovering from catastrophic flooding and the perils of hurricane season looming, Americans realize the likelihood of unforeseen disaster and how important it is to be prepared for the worst case scenario. But are we really ready for what is thrown our way? Leadership speaker Lt. General Russel L. Honoré, the commander of Joint Task Force Katrina and the force behind New Orleans’ hurricane recovery, says “no.” Bringing the message of preparedness to organizations around the country, he makes it his life’s mission to put this issue at the heart of the national conversation.

Leadership Speaker General Russel Honore.jpgA no-nonsense, take charge personality, Honoré delivers his message with humor, tough love, and a palpable commitment to improving your organization. The quintessential 21st century leader, the Washington Post has called him “the man you want in the trenches with you.” Urging audiences to measure (and improve) their levels of preparedness, Honoré bases his presentations on key questions that can be applied to individuals, families, organizations, and businesses.

Before your Honoré event, have your audience consider the following:

- Do you have spare cash on hand?
- Are your important documents (Social Security card, birth certificates, etc.) photocopied and in a safe location?
- Do you have an emergency weather radio?
- Do you have the proper medical supplies and records available to you?
- What is your family evacuation and communication plan?

This preliminary assessment will help your group members ready themselves for the General’s valuable message.

Want to make your Honoré event even more effective and provide a real benefit to your employees? Follow up his presentation with a Red Cross volunteer who can demonstrate important techniques for preparedness, and provide useful brochures highlighting necessary information.

Whether preparing your business or preparing your people, expect the unexpected. Contact Keppler Speakers bureau to bring “Category 5” Lt. General Russel L. Honoré to your next event.
