Tom Hayes
Tom Hayes is a master salesman and life motivator. With an iron will forged
out of the tragic experience of losing a leg to cancer in childhood, Hayes
has a compelling history to share with his audiences.
A world traveler, extreme sports enthusiast and proud father of two happy and successful daughters, Hayes epitomizes a "can do" approach to life's challenges. Even though he lost a leg to cancer at age 12, it is not uncommon to see him skiing by you on a black diamond slope in the Rockies; racing sailing yachts off the coast of Nantucket; or, if you are up to the challenge, bungee jumping from a 340-foot cliff in New Zealand. From biking in Argentina, to fly-fishing the Bahamian flats, to scuba diving in Costa Rica, there isn't a challenge Tom hasn't enthusiastically faced head-on? especially if someone said it couldn't be done. Tom is a believer in the axiom, "If you're not living on the edge, you're taking up too much space.
Tom built an enviable 27-year career with Fuji Medical Systems, the international
manufacturer of medical x-ray film and equipment. As a sales manager,
he grew a territory from $200,000 to over $50 million a year through both
personal sales and by building and motivating a top sales team.
For the past twenty years, Tom has maintained a second career as a first-rate
standup comedian, humorist and speaker. In 1986, Showtime Cable Network
selected Tom as a "Funniest Person" award-winner. Hayes combines
his offbeat sense of humor with the practical advice of how the game of
life is really won day after day.
Suzie
Humphreys
Suzie Humphreys is a different kind of humorist ... a different style of motivator ... slightly off-center in her style the way your oldest and best friend is; honest and open, but sensitive to the painful side of life, the side that is one step away from joy! She lifts, jolts, and nurtures her audiences and they love every minute of it. She makes them laugh until they swear that they can't laugh anymore and then she grabs them again. When she leaves the stage there remains the unmistakable warmth of having been touched, and unshakable affirmation that whether ordinary or extraordinary, through good times or bad, caught in mid-frailty or new accomplishment, life reality is the greatest thing.
Suzie's background is as varied as her audiences ... from administrative secretary to television talk show host to 20 years in radio. She has made hundreds of commercials, done musical comedy and motion pictures.
Suzie Humphreys believes that you can do anything you want to do and enjoy getting there, heartbreak and all.
