He is also chairman of a national public relations company, chairman of Great Harvest Bread Company with 210 stores in 39 states, chairman of Business Life, Inc., and chairman of the Miss North Carolina USA program.

To-date the Qubein Foundation has granted more than 600 scholarships, worth over three million dollars. Money magazine claims, "Qubein puts on a memorable program, gliding from one anecdote to another. Nearly 70 percent of his business comes from companies that have utilized him before. His client list is a 'who's who' of blue chip corporations." Bizlife magazine says, "He coupled his charismatic style and positive nature with his acquired knowledge of human relations and communication...and built a multi-million dollar, multifaceted consulting enterprise -- proving the American dream is still alive and well." Programs and brief descriptions: Motivation - From Success to Significance A powerful and inspiring presentation on focus, balance, and meaning in business and in life. Nido cites major differences between creativity (how can we do this differently) and innovation (how can we do this better). He distinguishes among tasks, goals, and purpose humorously yet persuasively with thoughtful impact. Leadership - Achieving Peak Performance Nido will show you how to prepare your employees for high productivity and your company for maximum profitability - how to grow a well trained, educated and motivated team. You can train people to do the mechanical tasks related to your business but you can't train them to seek excellence. Attitude changes through consistent input that appeals to an individual's self-interest and organizational spirit. Sales - How To Sell, Serve, and Succeed To sell effectively in today's ever-changing, competitive world, one must master sales skills and behavioral knowledge. Nido teaches both with humor and audience involvement. He focuses on the Law of Identification (when something becomes personal it becomes important). Nido emphasizes: Prospects don't want to buy your product; they want to buy the product of your product. Positioning - If I wanted To Buy What You Sell, Would I Buy It From You? Why should people do business with you? How easily can someone else imitate what you do? Do your customers think of you first? Nido shares dynamic principles for personal and corporate achievement. It doesn't matter how much you know or what you can do. What matters is what your customers and colleagues believe and perceive you can do for them... how well they understand and value what you are offering. Communication - Communicate Like A Pro Communicating effectively with people inside your company and beyond, is a minimum-requirement skill in our ever-changing global marketplace. Individuals who communicate effectively with people at all levels of both genders and a variety of cultures are today's pacesetters. This presentation is designed to help you develop the communication skills required and to wield them with power and effectiveness. Additional presentation topics include: Change, Customer Service, Time Management and Personal/Professional Development. Client Testimonials: "Nido exceeded my expectations! He embedded my organization's challenges in his presentation. His passion and enthusiasm were uplifting. I will be using him again." -- Mark Steinberg, Senior Vice President Sales, Wausau Insurance Companies "In the past four years it has been my job to find the guest speaker and I take it very seriously. The speaker must be funny, but not a comedian, he must be entertaining, but not an actor, and above all, the speaker's message must apply to everyone. I know our sales people will think differently about people in jeans and sneakers. They will also be cognizant of positioning and never afraid of saying, 'They come in a set.' Our leaders will be keenly aware of the difference between education and training, and everyone will remember your common sense approach to life's challenges. I even had an employee ask for your address in order to write you. That, in 19 years is a first." -- Glenn E. Tiberiis, Special Events Coordinator, TASCA Lincoln-Mercury, Inc.
