Dan O’Connor, The Energy Vampire Slayer, has his hands full these days slaying office energy vampires from coast to coast. Dan has noticed a shocking trend in what directors of training and development and human resource professionals are buying these days. Dan has been an onsite communication trainer for over 15 years, specializing in dealing with difficult people and negativity. When he started in training, his most popular topics were writing, communication, and customer service courses, but as the economy changed, and we all changed with it, Dan says his clients started asking for his Energy Vampire Slaying: 101 course more and more. Dan says now he spends more than 80% of his time helping companies slay energy vampires and handle difficult people, when only two years ago, it was about 30% of his total business.
In response to the new economy and new information age, Dan decided to give away his upcoming book, Energy Vampire Slaying: 101 for free. When asked why he’s giving away this resource, when other training companies charge for these types of tools, Dan replied, “I am in the business of helping companies communicate more effectively and eliminate negativity. The whole world has changed the way it does business, and I have to change with it. People want to simply download what they need and go! Delivering my products in a format that is free and easy to access can only be a win-win for everyone. The relationships I make by giving these things away always outweighs the up-front profits I could make selling them. Once people see what Energy Vampire Slaying is all about, they frequently will ask for onsite training on the topic, and the entire organization benefits both personally and professionally from the training. I love it.”
Dan is known as The Energy Vampire Slayer because of his ability to instantly, dramatically, and permanently transform the energy in any organization--
