    We live in an era of astonishing technology, instant information and rampant social networking.  Despite the epidemic advances that ushered in a new millennium, cultural critics argue that society has never been more shallow in communication and more superficial in appearance.  In fact, Dr. Rigsby argues that for many organizations, appearance- or what he refers to as impression- has become the new corporate wardrobe.

    We invite you to rediscover what is really important and meaningful- not only in your professional career but in your personal life as well.  Join Dr. Rigsby as he shares the wisdom of past generations- wisdom that will inspire, motivate and empower you to make an impact rather than an impression!

We have worked with the Healthcare Speakers Network for four years, and have enjoyed our professional relationship enough that we keep returning to book additional speakers. The team is consistently service driven, customer focused and the staff is so easy to get along with and accommodating that our events are consistently rated well above average. The trust element between our staff and the Healthcare Speakers Network staff is high.
