“Tim Shurr is a great speaker who just did our Town Hall events in Detroit and Chicago. Tim was able to enhance and communicate our language and bring the message to life. He was extremely well received by the advisors and spent the time understanding our objectives. If you are looking for an external speaker to enhance your messaging, I strongly recommend you call Tim!”

Tim is a master of creating extraordinary opportunities!

“In business, you are constantly interacting with so many different personalities. At one point in my career, I was managing over 1,200 employees in six states. Interpersonal communications with my management team, employees, suppliers, and customers required skills that I didn’t always have. We all need practical tools for noticing what to say, when to say it, and how to phrase our comments based upon the mood of the person we’re interacting with. I cannot think of a better professor than Tim Shurr when it comes to noticing what others miss. He is a master at teaching people how to take everyday interactions and convert them into extraordinary opportunities. In working with Tim, I have learned communication and language skills that I simply never knew, and that has benefitted me and my businesses in so many ways!” Denny Smith

His preeminent level of observation allows him to customize the program to the participants in real time, which stimulates creative thinking and a problem-solving atmosphere. He presents in a fashion that causes participants to be at ease, but at the same time holds them with a sense of urgency that demands attention.

Laurie Sparks

A couple of years ago, Tim spoke to a business group I was forming and I purchased his Sales Mastery program.  After listening to it over a long car ride, I was blown away at how much I DIDN’T know about sales! Since I was in the business, I felt incredibly fortunate to have this valuable information at hand! I’ve poured over the recordings several times and feel confident my business will grow in leaps and bounds because of this knowledge that Tim shared in such a simple and practical way. Since we are all either buying or selling something, these principles apply to everyone! Run, don’t walk, to purchase this program!

Wendy Kuhn

I attended Tim’s class and it was absolutely amazing. I can’t say enough about how positive and enlightening it was for me. I learned so much. Tim made it all so easy to understand and his sense of humor made it fun. I haven’t been in an elevator in 30+ years and after my NLP weekend with Tim he helped me use the tools I learned and finally conquered my fear of elevators! That was so big for me. I would recommend his classes to anyone and everyone!

DEFENDERS is so fortunate to get to work with Tim Shurr! Tim’s recent work with our 200 field leaders definitely lived up to his reputation as a world-renowned facilitator. I have worked with hundreds of facilitator and presenters in my 20 years of leadership development work, and Tim is one of the all-time best. He has an uncanny way of immediately connecting with his audience and relating specifically to their needs. Our leaders commented that it was like he had known them and their day-to-day forever! Tim is an important partner to DEFENDERS and I have no doubt that when we contract him to work with a group of our leaders, he will exceed expectations!

I have been an educator for thirty-five years and have experienced many in-service presenters. Tim Shurr is one of the most informative, thought-provoking and truly motivational speakers that I have had the good fortune to experience. Every audience member participated and left the session feeling uplifted and ready to seize the day! I would recommend Tim Shurr to any organization seeking a hands-on, practical in-service experience that will motivate even the most reluctant staff member.

Mathew Janke

Tim Shurr delivered an outstanding speech at TEDxValparaisoUniversity. He combined insightful ideas with a polished delivery that provided a unique and valuable perspective on our theme, “Dare to Build.” Additionally, Tim led a breakout session that illustrated useful tips to improve personal motivation that was very well received. I highly recommend bringing Tim in as a speaker for your conference.

Marty Walker—President, The Loan Ranch, Inc.

Marty Walker

I heard about Tim Shurr from the #1 loan officer in our region who happened to be a client of his. Then I had the opportunity to see Tim live at one of our company sales rallies. After my first 12 weeks of having Tim as my coach, my production has increased by 500%! Most importantly, I have changed as a person. My confidence has increased, I respond better to stress, and I am truly happier and enjoy life much more than I did 12 weeks earlier. The lessons learned from Tim not only increased my business, but they also improved many other areas of my life. If you are interested in improving both your quality of life and your business, I would strongly encourage you to reach out to Tim to discuss your current situation. After that first phone call, you will realize your life has begun to change and your dreams can come true!

Maximize Your ROI

I work with high-performing teams and those who want to become so. Since time is the only thing that’s limited, we must use it wisely. I’ve been transforming lives for 27 years and know exactly what to do to produce your desired results. For us to achieve greater success together, please commit to the following.

First

You must be totally committed to following my advice. If you argue or chose to ignore my advice so you can continue doing what you’ve been doing, you don’t actually want a coach. You want a friend to pat you on the back and tell you how wonderful you are. Be coachable and embrace feedback because it's what will allow you to take your results to the next level!

Second

You must be willing to get way out of your comfort zone. This means taking greater calculated risks, investing more money than you may be used to, and actively implementing the strategies you'll acquire. A big part of my process is to help you identify and shift self-limiting beliefs or behaviors that are sabotaging your efforts. If you’re ready for a life-enhancing experience that consistently produces MASSIVE RESULTS…

Schedule a 15-minute consultation. During this time, we will decide together whether this is a good fit for you and what option will best serve your specific needs. This consultation can be done via Skype, Zoom, Telephone, or if necessary, in person.
