HOW TO LEAD LIKE LINCOLN 
"The most fantastic program I have ever experienced on leadership. I was completely engaged every minute of the program. "
--Susan Bixler, CEO of The Professional Image  after attending "Abraham Lincoln, CEO

Lincoln will tell your people how to get through tough times, how to lead when there's no roadmap, and how to communicate more effectively. 

This program contains excerpts from the acclaimed one-man play “Lincoln Live” that's been performed at historic Ford’s Theatre, the Georgia Dome, the Ice Palace, and aboard the USS ABRAHAM LINCOLN, plus numerous conventions, annual meetings, and conferences.  Author and actor Gene Griessman, Ph.D. appears in costume, in character as Lincoln. 

The second part of the program is an optional seminar that can be scheduled immediately following the Lincoln presentation or later in your meeting. In this seminar, Dr. Griessman shows how the principles from the Lincoln presentation can be transformed into specific tactics and strategies that today's leaders can start using immediately.  He reveals communication techniques used by actors and professional speakers, and by Lincoln himself, and shows how to use them in real-life situations.

Griessman draws on years of studying Lincoln, plus his exclusive one-on-one interviews with the best-known leaders of our time, including Ronald Reagan, Ted Turner, Ray Charles, Mary Kay, Sandra Day O’Connor, Aaron Copland, Tennessee Williams, Helen Gurley Brown, Frank Borman, Paul “Bear” Bryant, Hank Aaron, and scores of other leaders from the worlds of business, science, sports, and politics.  Griessman—who was on-camera host of “Up Close,” which aired for years on TBS, and has written numerous articles in major publications and books on high achievement—offers insider information about many of the personalities you have read about or seen on television or in the movies.
