PR and Motivational Speakers Here on November 12 – Two well-known and respected speakers are coming to Eastern’s campus, and you’re invited to meet them and hear them.

On Wednesday, Nov. 12, at 10 a.m. in Studio A at the new Broadcast Center, Diane Creston, owner of the New York-based public relations agency, Creston & Associates, will talk about public relations, journalism, writing, and how to succeed in this high profile business.  Then, entrepreneur, businessman, author and speaker, Lance Heft, will talk about a life-changing program called “Your Turn to Win.” 

Creston combines robust and award-winning marketing with a talent for stretching budgets. Creston successfully targets and develops existing markets, along with underdeveloped segments. With our global reach and diverse services, Creston Advertising & Marketing, Inc. is the New York agency ally of choice for successful and visionary manufacturers and IT providers.

Creston's greatest strength is its ability to offer a level of service equal to that of larger advertising agencies combined with prices usually found only outside of the New York metropolitan area.

Creston's integrated creative team has a powerful track record of reinvigorating and building brands with many long-term clients that have been with them for 16 plus years. 

For more information, go to:  http://www.crestonadvertising.com/.

Lance Heft asks audiences:  “What is Stopping You from Living Your Dream?”

The answer could very well be YOUR behavior. Each year, many people plan and set goals, and year after year things end up the same for a vast majority of individuals. The goals and visions remain as just that with no major changes to support these dreams.

Mistakes need to be examined and used as tools for change. It makes no difference whether the goal is changing behavior in relationships, diet changes, healthy living, or a major career change.

"Your Turn to Win" will teach you how to break out of that comfort level of familiarity and discover the power of vision, commitment and determination. His goal is to open your eyes to a new way of thinking; one that will inspire you to fulfill your deepest desires and share with the world your unique gifts.
