Motivational Speaking Engagement Extraordinaire
here is always only limited seating available for a Mr Parker seminar, so we were unable to attend his presentation in person. However, some Power Point slides (apparently in random order) did fall off a Toyota truck that squealed out of the facility where he recently spoke in Sioux Falls. The slides were hardcopies of something that must have been on a laptop. We checked with the police department and there has been no report of a missing laptop. The slides need to be viewed in the context of his bio which we present to you right here.
Parker always admired the video game, Street Fighter 2 when he was growing up in the California desert. His parents limited his hours spent on the game or he would have neglected his studies and been just another drop out punk. He prepared himself for the business world by doing the next best thing to street fighting: cage free fighting. We furnish a video (coming up) with his primary antagonist, Atticus Rabbit. (Did these two young bucks think that they were bighorned sheep in Glacier Park?)
Parker always deploys a Squid security guard to deny Atticus (presently employed as a Hedge-Hog-Fund manager) entry to his speeches. All the attendees of his conferences are badged in. It so happens that Parker has the Squid security guard doing double duty as a stand up comic right before Parker himself comes on stage. The squid takes the stage to warm up the audience with favorite carrot jokes.

Parker's training paid off as evidenced by his success in real estate, his dabbling as a commodities trader, and his rise as a motivational speaker. You may also know him as the publisher of the Running Wild Tabloid on Squidoo. He has a reputation for energizing an audience. Among his accolades as a speaker are that he is interesting,credible,passionate,inspiring,enthusiastic,sincere,optimistic,confident,visionary, and an astute listener. Few speakers can match this list of qualities. He knows his stuff and he is passionate about his topic. Everytime Parker speaks, his mind is on parade.
No one nods off when Parker is at the podium. (We recollect that one performer at the former Disneyland Golden Horseshoe Review kept audience attention better than Parker does, but Wally fired a gun into the air from time to time and yelled 'Nobody sleeps when I'm on.') Rabbits such as Parker are uniquely suited as public speakers because they hop up and utilize their ears as pointers whenever they wish to emphasize an item.
Testimonials:
"After I heard Parker's speech I quit talking." -- Mr. Ed.
"After I heard Parker's speech I also quit talking." -- Francis, the talking mule
"I can listen to him all day." -- Wanda, Attention Deficit Disorder Institute enrollee
It is possible to miss the profound insights of Parker when you attend only a short lecture or two. Parker is a reigning 'Chaotician' and he has impressive credentials in econometrics. In fact, he is completely certifiable in the school of
Austrian Analytics.
Do not miss the video about Parker's training. Also do check the syllabus as there is something on it for everyone. If you happened to come to this page looking for specific Power Point implementations, there are some links to that material and also to electronic pointers for really professional talks! So don't go away too soon.

Note left on a chair during the Parker Seminar Question period
Attractive rabbit whose badge identified her company as 'HotHare Analytics'. "Mr Parker. We're in a bad patch. The population of mall rats has plunged after the Back-to-the-Schulhaus. What additional suggestions do you have for this challenging economy? I hope to take away an encouraging message."

Guestbook Comments on Visual Aids
Your Input is Needed
What charts and visual aides do you prefer to get your message across? Do you believe that Parker might have something remarkable to say with a Pareto Chart? a Venn Diagram? What kind of pointing device do you use when speaking out in public?
Most important of all.....(help us with our story here).... Do you think it wise for the HotHare lady to meet with Parker? Could he be using his seminars as a pick up zone?

- So, is Parker using the seminars as an opportunity to meet female rabbits? Well doe!
Don't let the glasses fool you. He looks every bit the rake to me.

- Although I've not benn able to attend one of Parker's inspirational speeches in person, I'm guessing that using the Squidoo security guard as a warm up act is brilliant showmanship. In fact, I believe that Parker himself refers to it as the "Carrot and Schtick" approach.
