Sarano Kelley

Sarano Kelley, Founder of The Game and Author of, “The Game: Win Your Life in 90 Days,” grew up in a gang-infested neighborhood of Brownsville, New York. At 16 years old Kelley was accepted and began his studies at Vassar College. By the time he reached the age of 23 he was already earning 400,000 dollars in commissions as a Wall Street Stockbroker. It was at the height of his professional success when a family tragedy occurred and Kelley lost some of his beloved family members in a sudden fire. The somber experience was the driving force behind Kelley’s journey of new beginnings where he discovered how to produce results, while achieving a life mounted on the principles of balance and purpose.

Kelley’s experience as a Motivational Speaker and Life Coach has allowed him to train more than 250,000 people. While serving as a media coach, Kelley trained several corporate leaders and government representatives. Because his trainees were frequently interviewed on CNN, 20/20 and 60 Minutes, it was up to Kelley to properly prepare these individuals for their highly publicized stories. His media coach experience also gave Kelley an opportunity to coach President Clinton’s White House Fellows, a leadership group which included Gen. Colin Powell.

For several years running now, Kelley has been rated as the number one speaker at the Securities Industry Association at the Wharton School of Business. Kelley has appeared on, “Good Morning America,” and his not for profit foundation applies the same principles to schools across the nation and in his own ABC TV primetime television special for children called “The Game: Winning at Life.”

On Nov. 5, 2009, VH1 premiered, “Broke and Famous,” a docudrama showcasing the powerful journey of former child-star, Willie Aames. The show trails Aames as he pulls himself back into financial prosperity with the help of Kelley’s unique coaching style. The financial docudrama was a heart-felt story of redemption and also served as the catalyst for the IAFSCA’s launch of the Stand Up for Financial Literacy Campaign (STAND4FL).

Kelley and his pack of financial literacy advocates continue to speak out about the need of a universal approach to fiscal education and responsibly. So far, their efforts have fostered a national dialogue around the issue and have ultimately creating the largest unified financial literacy campaign in the financial service industry.

The Game: Win Your Life In 90 Days

“The Game” shows audiences how to apply goals and dreams to a structural template, or Game scenario. “The Game” then provides a compelling route to the goal…accenting both fun and accountability along the way. “The Game” helps players get highly efficient, organized and productive, Sarano says, “With those improved qualities, relationships will improve at work and home. If you can manage good personal relationships at home, you’ll be a good manager at work. The same principles apply to running divisions and entire companies.”

Letting Go to Grasp the Excellence

This session will …Explore the value of TIME Show how to evaluate relationships – which to let go of, which to keep Teach how to maximize your time, productivity and quality of life!

Top performers understand the value of their time, and they charge a premium for it. However, many spend most of their time with the people who make the smallest financial contribution to their business. The common advice they receive is to “fire” clients. But, how do you “fire” people who put their trust and hope in you? In this program, attendees will learn which relationships to let go of and which to expand. Learn, for the first time, how to let go of unproductive relationships with dignity, respect and integrity. Explore ways to maximize your time, the relationship’s productivity, and your overall enjoyment.

Telephone Excellence: The Hidden Power of Communication

This session will …Study telephone skills of the highly successful. Evaluate your own unique telephone excellence. Build on and improve, or develop a system for success.

This program is based on observations of two legendary telephone sales personalities, one who made $1 million in one month and another $20 million in one year. After studying the sciences of linguistics, cybernetics and game theory, Sarano will show why true telephone effectiveness is rare. Why many people use the phone, few excel at it and even fewer understand that what they say and how they say it creates and, to a great degree, controls the thinking of the person at the other end of the line. By analyzing the telephone skills of the “true” professionals, attendees will begin to understand, duplicate and implement a calling system that will enhance their own unique pattern of telephone excellence and help them build an even better system.

Living From the Center: Managing Time From Within

This program allows participants to apply advanced strategies and tactics as an integral part of their day, where they will accomplish key goals that will ultimately determine their destiny and their greatness.
