From Main Street to Mean Streets: 10 Steps For Thriving In A Cutthroat, Take-No-Prisoners Business Environment. The pressures on businesses are enormous. The economy. Changing customer and employee demographics. Technology. And, of course, competition. In this fast-paced and entertaining presentation, take a walk along Main Street with Kevin Coupe, who has more than 20 years of experience writing about some of the most vibrant and innovative US businesses. Coupe will identify and explore 10 business lessons and values - using specific, real-world examples examined from a unique perspective - that can help leaders and managers think differently about their organizations, customers, challenges, and strategic goals.

Eye-Openers: Twenty Business Opportunities, Innovations & Inspirations. Based on the popular series of features from MorningNewsBeat.com, “Eye-Openers” uses a score of real world examples from the worlds of business, sports and popular culture as metaphors for how businesses can raise their level of their games, find new ways to come to market, embrace challenges, take on competitors, and see opportunity where others see merely obstacles. Kevin Coupe - who has been analyzing and writing about US retailing for more than two decades - takes you on an engaging and entertaining guided tour of some surprising and provocative people and scenarios that will help you see your business from a new perspective.

The Big Picture: Essential Business Lessons from the Movies. There is almost no business that cannot be improved by the creation of a central narrative that speaks to employees, customers and suppliers, clearly defining the image and priorities of the company. But most companies don’t know how to tell a story, which inhibits their ability to create common touch points that can animate the business and propel innovation.

In this presentation, based on the new business book that he co-authored with Michael Sansolo, Kevin Coupe uses examples from movies ranging from Citizen Kane to Up In The Air to help audiences learn how to shape a core narrative and then communicate it throughout their organizations. Entertaining and engaging, this presentation is designed to change the way people think about the way they approach branding, customer service, and even the nature of leadership.

The Future Is Here...Now What? It’s 2012...and while the gurus and futurists may say they know what is going to happen next, the simple fact is that nobody knows anything. So, if you’re trying to figure out what the next steps are for your business and your people, who you gonna call?

MorningNewsBeat “Content Guy” Kevin Coupe uses compelling and real-life examples rooted in consumer behavior, technological change and cultural legacies to create a presentation designed to get business audiences thinking strategically rather than tactically, to embrace rather than reject change, and to take seriously Mark Twain’s admonition that “sacred cows make the best hamburger.”

-Donna Giordano, President, Quality Food Centers (QFC)

"Kevin captivated the audience by being relevant, fresh and on point with his message. His examples were real world and easy for the group to grasp...In no way was this one of those 'canned' speeches where the presenter plugs in the company name or industry four or five times to make it appear 'customized.' Kevin's grasp of the evolving retail marketplace helped frame the opportunities and the challenges facing the audience, and his knowledge of the internet and its myriad tools was of keen interest to the attendees."
-Mark A. Boyer, Senior Vice President, Customer Marketing, Dawn Food Products
