About the Presenter

When Walter steps onto the stage, you can’t miss him. It could be because he’s 6’5 and stands out in a crowd, but it could also be because on the stage is where he feels at home. As a nationally recognized public speaker, he commands the stage. He makes the entire audience, whether it’s a small board room or a large  conference venue, feel seen. People walk out of Walter’s talks changed, motivated, and inspired. His principles are simple but powerful, his delivery is smooth, and he combines humor, tough love, and experience in a way that changes people.

Walter’s third and most recently released book Swim!, has picked up speed since its debut in July, and has become a staple for business people and students across the country. His easy-to-read professional development book combines lovable characters, relatable life lessons, and hard truths that help readers understand the power of leadership, mentoring, and next-level success.

Walter travels the country speaking, coaching, teaching, and inspiring companies across a wide range of industries, from financial services to agriculture and franchising to real estate and many more in between. At any given time, you can find Walter leading a mastermind class, offering one on one professional development, hosting book talks, and coaching hungry business leaders and entrepreneurs towards success.

While many know Walter Bond as a former NBA player, more and more people know Walter as a passionate and motivated speaker, author, and business coach with one goal: to help people see their full potential. Walter graduated from the University of Minnesota and has been married to his wife and business partner Antoinette for 30 years. They have three adult children.

We hope to see you all there! Lunch will be provided.

June NAIFA Live Watch Party

June 20, 2024

11:00 am - 1:00 pm

Looking to connect with fellow NAIFA-North Dakota members? Join us at E4 Insurance Services OR Minot State University Student Center for a NAIFA Live Watch Party on Thursday, June 20th beginning at 11:00 am!

NAIFA LIVE - TRAIN YOUR BRAIN FOR SUCCESS
PRESENTED BY ROGER SEIP

Your brain is the single biggest driver of your energy, your focus, and the results you get in every area of life. Your career, your finances, your physical health, your relationships- all of them are constantly created and influenced by your thinking. Unfortunately, your brain didn’t come with an owner’s manual … until now.

In Train Your Brain For Success, you will learn to harness the incredible creative capacity of your mind and achieve your personal best – professionally, financially, and personally.

THROUGH THAT PROCESS, ROGER SEIP WILL COVER:
  • The ways in which your brain literally creates your experience — and your results. Every day, we’re creating our lives with our mind — and it’s enlightening to see how.

  • Your brain’s extremely UNhelpful “default settings” –- We now know that all of us have brains that come “pre-programmed” with some really strong patterns that will actually hold you back –- keep you stuck in place –- if not understood and dealt with.

  • How to overcome these default settings, and put you in charge of your brain and your results. The good news is that there are simple and effective strategies for making your brain work FOR you instead of AGAINST you.

So we’ll wrap up our session by providing a game plan for ongoing improvement.

Based on the best-selling book, Train Your Brain For Success is extremely interactive, incredibly eye-opening, and a lot of fun! Participants will definitely gain insights that will make them more effective immediately, and come away with a plan for making that improvement last.
