Presents: “The Hula Hoop Advantage – Building a “Big Idea Story” To Grow Your Business ”

When Diana Bishop was 14 years old, her father, one of the original marketing “mad’ men , convinced her to help him revive the hula hoop craze of the 1950’s. As a result, Diana learned one of the biggest lessons that she has brought into her own marketing business -- that no matter how good your product or service, every business needs A Story That Sells.

With prospects getting harder and harder to reach, and traditional sales and marketing techniques not working as well as they used to, businesses need to find a compelling way to stand out and differentiate themselves from the scores of others doing similar things. And that means creating something that is new, better and different than what their competition is doing. This is what Diana calls a Big Idea Story.

Learn how your business can create a Big Idea Story to make more sales! 

Diana Bishop is a former National and International TV News Correspondent for CBC, CTV, NBC News and Global Television. She now runs a one of a kind communications and marketing business called The Success Story Program™ working exclusively with business owners and entrepreneurs in Canada and the US to help them package their business into a success story they can use to attract more high quality customers and increase sales.

Jeffrey M. Smith

Expert Jeffrey Smith, author of the #1 GMO bestseller Seeds of Deception, and Genetic Roulette, presents shocking evidence why genetically modified crops may lead to health and environmental catastrophes. The information is compelling but Jeffrey has a plan. Learn what we can all do to help educate the public and use our buying power to effect change.

International bestselling author Jeffrey M. Smith is the leading spokesperson on the health dangers of Genetically Modified Organisms (GMOs). He documents how the world’s most powerful Ag biotech companies bluff and mislead critics, and put the health of society at risk.

His first book Seeds of Deception: Exposing Industry and Government Lies about the Safety of the Genetically Engineered Foods You’re Eating became the world’s best-selling and # 1 rated book on GMOs. His second book, Genetic Roulette: The Documented Health Risks of Genetically Engineered Foods, is the authoritative work that presents irrefutable evidence that GMOs are harmful. It includes 65 health dangers, linking GMOs to toxic and allergic reactions, thousands of sick, sterile, and dead livestock, and damage to virtually every organ studied in lab animals. The book expertly summarizes why the safety assessments conducted by the FDA and regulators worldwide are built on a foundation of outdated science and false assumptions, and why GM foods must become the top food safety priority. Former UK environment minister Michael Meacher says the revelations in Genetic Roulette may “change the global course of events this century.”

Mr. Smith has counseled world leaders from every continent, campaigned to end the use of genetically engineered bovine growth hormone (rbGH or rbST), and influenced the first state laws in the United States regulating GMOs. A riveting keynote speaker and popular guest on TVshows worldwide, he has lectured in more than 30 countries and has been quoted by government leaders and hundreds of media outlets including, The New York Times, Washington Post, BBC World Service, Nature, The Independent, Daily Telegraph, New Scientist, The Times (London), Associated Press, Reuters News Service, LA Times, Time Magazine and Genetic Engineering News. 

Former US National Institutes of Health scientist Candace Pert describes Mr. Smith as “the leading world expert in the understanding and communication of the health issues surrounding genetically modified foods.” 

Mr. Smith has united leaders to support The Campaign for Healthier Eating in America, a revolutionary industry and consumer movement to remove GMOs from the US food supply. He is the executive director of the Institute for Responsible Technology, producer of the films Hidden Dangers in Kids’ Meals and Your Milk on Drugs—Just Say No!, writes an internationally syndicated column, Spilling the Beans, has a regular blog on the popular Huffington Post, is well represented on Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube. He lives with his wife in Iowa, surrounded by genetically modified soybeans and corn.
