National Clothesline

TCATA has rounded up an interesting trio of speakers for its annual convention at the Hyatt Regency Coconut Point Resort in Bonita Springs, FL.

The event will be held from May 3-6 later this year.

Topping the list is international executive trainer, author and clinical psychologist Joseph L. Mancusi, Ph.D., who will speak from 8 a.m. until noon on Sunday, May 6.

Dr. Mancusi, an inspirational speakers, is a seven-time “top speaker” winner at the Society for Human Resources Management National Conventions and has spoken at the White House six times.

He believes that a person’s IQ (Intelligence Quotient) accounts for 20 percent of their success, while the other 80 percent comes from a person’s EQ, or Emotional Quotient.

Those who attend TCATA’s conference will learn the dimensions of Emotional Intelligence and how to make changes to increase it.

Attendees will also learn their strengths and weaknesses in the areas of their own EQ and how to read the EQ of others.

Dr. Mancusi will outline some practical tools and tips that cleaners can use to immediately improve their leadership, communication and time management skills.

He guarantees that, if you follow the advice he gives his clients, you will save 25 percent of the time you and your employees spend in meetings.

Also speaking for TCATA will be Bob Gray of Memory Edge Corp., who will reveal to attendees their untapped memory potential.

He will take the stage at 4 p.m on Thursday, May 4 for a two-hour presentation.

Have you ever forgotten a key point in the middle of an important presentation, or have you struggled to recall the names of a group of people you have just met?

When such common memory lapses occurs, it can lead to a frustrating and embarrassing lack of credibility; yet, conversely, an excellent memory conveys the image of success and of someone who is in control.

Gray will help empower attendees with memory tips that have applications in both the business world and in social situations.

Rounding out the confirmed speakers is Maribeth Kuzmeski, a marketing consultant who is the author of three books and a business owner, as well. She is scheduled to speak from 8 a.m. until noon on Friday, May 5.

Kuzmeski has appeared on TV and radio stations across the country and has written articles appearing in hundreds of magazines and newspapers describing her successful marketing strategies.

Cleaners who want smart marketing ideas to build their business and strengthen their brand will want to hear her thoughts on the subject.

Kuzmeski, who is founder of Red Zone Marketing, will share specific strategies that will lead to higher profits for your business. The presentation will include immediate actionable ideas that cleaners can take home and try themselves.

TCATA will also host its annual golf tournament during the convention at 8 a.m. on the morning of Thursday, May 4.
