One Word That Changes Everything

What if the key to better communication - and stronger relationships - was just one word away? Drawing from his upcoming book One Word That Changes Everything: How Simple Shifts in Communication Build Stronger Relationships, Tim Riddle explores 20 powerful words that impact how we listen, lead, and live. Each word is an invitation to pause, reflect, and grow in how we connect with others. Whether you’re leading a team, growing a business, or navigating personal relationships, this keynote will challenge and inspire you to communicate with more clarity, empathy, and purpose - one word at a time.

Four Words for a Joyful Life?

Everyone is looking for that one thing that brings joy in their life. I have found it by focusing on four words that I write in my journal each day. Words many times “stick” more than sentences. This talk will unpack my four words and help you identify yours.

How to Move From A to B and Eliminate the Messy Middle

We all want to get somewhere. Whether it's our business or life, we constantly try to reach the next step in our journey. Unfortunately, many lose focus and become distracted somewhere in the middle. This talk helps you design a plan to keep you focused to reach your “B".

Communicate or Else

This talk focuses on the need to communicate using your unique voice to your audience...instead of using canned content. It also redefines the role of marketing for a financial advisor. Consistent, clear, and engaging communication is critical in today's noisy world to continue to nurture relationships with clients and open relationships with prospects. This talk is inspired by my latest book, Communicate or Else: A New Perspective on Marketing for Financial Advisors.

Let’s Talk Referrals

It’s time to move away from the 1970’s referral method. Let’s stop asking our clients to give up the names of their friends and family so we can bug them to the point that the friends and family are upset at the client for sharing their names! There is a better way. In this talk, we will uncover a strategy for referrals without even having to ask for them.
