CHANCE TRAHAN
(Speaking Topics)
MOST REQUESTED SPEAKING TOPICS OUTLINE
Each of, The Entrepreneur, Chance Trahan’s keynotes are customized to fit your specific objectives.
They are informative yet entertaining and involve: lots of humor, high-energy, and audience-speaker
interaction. Chance uses compelling stories from his entrepreneurial journey to illustrate his points and
always leaves audience members with practical, tangible, and invaluable tools to incorporate into their
professional as well as personal endeavors. With over twenty years of phenomenally successful business
experience, Chance has the ability speak on wide-range of business related matters; however, his three
most requested topics are:

GOALS/MOTIVATION
In this keynote, presented in his charismatic style, The Entrepreneur, Chance Trahan, takes audience
members on an inspiring, emotional rollercoaster ride. They’ll hear, first-hand, how a man, with no formal
business training whatsoever, went from washing dishes and waiting tables at several restaurants to
creating an international web developer empire, and working with stars from ABC’s hit reality business
show, Shark Tank. Chance entertains and awes audience members with true-life tales of his incredible
successes and numerous failures. Equally important, however, he motivates, inspires, and teaches them
how to set and go after their own goals with newfound focus and determination.
Audience members will be galvanized as they realize they have been setting goals for themselves all of
their lives – whether they realized it or not! What’s more, to their surprise, many attendees will learn that
the goals they have been setting have been self-destructive.
Unlike some “motivational speakers”, rather than spitting-out tiresome “I can make it, so can you” clichés,
Chance shares the exact goal-setting strategies that he attributes to his success and teaches audience
members how to incorporate them into their endeavors. This keynote will challenge attendees to exercise
their brains in a way that cultivates a positive, goal-setting mindset.
THIS KEYNOTE IS ABSOLUTELY TERRIFIC FOR: SALESPEOPLE, STUDENTS, BUSINESS
OWNERS, ASPIRING ENTREPRENEURS, AND JUST ABOUT ANYONE WHO WANTS MORE OUT OF
THEIR PERSONAL AND/OR PROFESSIONAL ENDEAVORS.
“…Chance Trahan is clearly one of the best! Chance has an innate ability and powerful presence that
invites every attendee to turn off their cell phones, Blackberrys, iPhones and other devices because they
don't want to miss a word. Each attendee feels Chance is speaking to them one on one. He infuses
lessons, humor, insight and experience into his keynotes unlike anyone else we have hosted. I strongly
recommend Chance when planning your next event. You won’t be sorry nor will your audience be
disappointed.”
— Gerry Robert, Founder & CEO of Black Card Publishing

Corporations love employees with a strong sense of branding because it inspires out-of-the-box thinking,
creating an infectious energy that flows throughout the work environment.
It's no secret that the world has gotten smaller. Facebook, MySpace, Twitter, Foursquare, Pinterest and
dozens of other social websites have increased the desire for people to be noticed as a brand, let The
Entrepreneur, Chance Trahan, show you how.
THIS KEYNOTE IS GREAT FOR: SALESPEOPLE, MARKETING AND ADVERTISING PERSONNEL,
BUSINESS OWNERS, ASPIRING ENTREPENEURS, AND ANYONE WHO IS INTERESTED IN
PERSONAL BRANDING OR THE BRANDING OF AN IDEA OR PRODUCT.
“I am proud to report that I have received numerous notes of appreciation from sponsors,

contagious they found the entrepreneurial spirit in the room and you clearly fostered that…You were the
perfect choice for our Master of Ceremonies and we appreciate your infectious enthusiasm for your work
and your support of entrepreneurs. You are my most favorite keynote speaker to date.”

NEGOTIATION STRATEGIES FOR WOMEN
Women - You have more power than you may think!
Although The Entrepreneur, Chance Trahan, is one of the most recognized public figures by high profile
entrepreneurs, and has conducted hundreds of negotiations with both men and women throughout his
twenty years in business, he never planned on speaking on negotiation strategies for women; that is, until
his mom, Victoria Kibodeaux, called upon him to speak on this very topic for her travelling LIATA Tour to
help the homeless and battered women all across America.
Feeling a bit out of his realm and comfort zone, The Entrepreneur, Chance Trahan, decided to immerse
himself in research to find out what, if any, differences existed between how men and women tend to
negotiate with each other. In this keynote, Chance shares what he discovered in his research and
personal experiences over the years. His findings will have audience members sitting up and taking
notes! According to The Entrepreneur, not only do women have several distinct advantages over men
when negotiating – in both professional and personal settings, but quite a few disadvantages as well.
Chance will share specific techniques on how to respond to today's negotiation challenges. Not only will
this keynote leave every attendee feeling empowered, more confident, and ready to tackle the world, they
will have lots of fun and laughs in the process.
THIS KEYNOTE IS EXCELLENT FOR: SALESPEOPLE, BUSNESS OWNERS, ASPIRING
ENTREPRENEURS, AND ANYONE WHO IS LOOKING TO IMPROVE THEIR INTERPERSONAL
SKILLS.
“…Chance’s keynote address on how to negotiate effectively at work and at home received overwhelming
praise from conference attendees. Many people find it difficult to communicate clearly and speak up for
themselves. Chance’s speech addressed this critical area, giving women the appropriate tools to
implement good communication in both their public and personal lives. Chance captivated his audience
with his positive outlook and engaging style of presentation…Chance Trahan is a fantastic speaker that
will be an asset to any event.”
— Victoria Kibodeaux, Program & Speaker Manager (The LIATA Tour Conference)
