Speaker Spotlight - Shawn Brook
President, Issues Ink Publishers of Seed World and Germination magazines
After many years in the business world, Shawn now concludes that the key element of success is listening before communicating (his wife has been telling him that for years). He believes that communication is the most important factor in life and in business. Every key business success can be traced back to a well-delivered message, whether in motivating a team, negotiating a deal or closing a sale.
Specializing in business development and communications, Shawn has over 15 years of general management experience across multiple private and public sector industries. This experience, which includes sales, marketing management, promotion, brand strategy, public relations and consulting, in tandem with his work in the publishing sector, combine to help clients find solutions to enhance their businesses and increase their return on investment.
Working to bring together technology, content and marketing, Shawn is committed to first understanding and then executing a spectacular "user experience." With a large, global seed industry network and extensive participation in industry events, Shawn continues to provide information and insight through speeches, presentations and event facilitation.
However, it's Shawn's opinion that 15+ years of industry experience may be useful, but growing up on a farm is priceless.
