NSA Oregon: Tim Gard, CSP, CPAE (Hybrid)
Unforgettable: Beyond Being Memorable
https://nsaoregon.org/events/october-13-2025/
Most speakers, leaders, and even business professionals get forgotten the moment their presentation ends. Early in my career, I was astounded to learn how often clients couldn’t recall the name of last year’s keynote speaker — or even what they spoke about. That’s when I made a decision: being merely memorable wasn’t enough. I needed to become unforgettable.
In this laugh-out-loud yet insight-rich program, Hall of Fame Speaker Tim Gard reveals how he transformed himself into the kind of speaker you can’t forget.. Through hilarious real-world stories, practical strategies, and his signature “implements of impact” (props and takeaways audiences cherish long after the event), Tim shows how anyone can rise above the noise, leave a lasting mark, and inspire action.
But this isn’t just about Tim’s techniques — it’s about helping you uncover your unique storytelling style, and the props, perspectives, and presence that make you unforgettable. Along the way, you’ll discover how the power of laughter can diffuse stress, build instant connection, and turn difficult moments into opportunities for influence and joy.
YOU will learn how to:
- Go beyond being memorable to becoming truly unforgettable.
- Harness humor and perspective to uplift, connect, and inspire others.
- Create lasting impact with stories and “implements of impact” that audiences take home and talk about.
- Make themselves the person clients, colleagues, and communities remember — and want to engage with you again and again.
