Mr. Farver is the President/CEO of Blissfield MFG. Company. He spoke on the success of becoming a great leader. His company sells products world wide and he says the main barrier is communication. He also spoke on keeping a positive attitude and outlook. If these things are not included into your personality most people would not find doing business with you pleasing and therefore, would not do business with you. He listed traits that he felt were bullet points of becoming a leader which were:
1. Having a passion, almost an obsession, for your career
2. Believe and have faith in your ideas
3. Map out of strategic plan
4. Be energetic- without energy nothing happens
5. Having the power to bond and connect with people of all different backgrounds in order to unite
6. Clarify your values and stick to them
7. Communication determines the quality of life
Farver used many great American leaders and inventors as examples in his speech. One leader was Thomas Edison; using his light bulb creation as an example. Farver explained that it took Edison 9,999 fails before he invented the light bulb. Farver quoted Edison saying, "I did not fail. I simply just discovered ways to not invent the light bulb." This tied in with a topic he was highlighting which was to communicate all experiences as a positive ones. His speech was relevant to me, as a student, in many ways. I am beginning to plan many long term goals for my life. Farver connected to me when he listed the traits of a success which I hope to accomplish. He made connections toward this class when he explained how communication was the most important part of success. Farver's presentation style was the usual speech. He mainly read from a piece of paper throughout the speech and I feel as though his speech was repetitive. In conclusion, Mr. Farver touched base on many topics making his speech full of information and wisdom.
