Keynotes

Bring the right conversation into the room.

  • Humans are naturally resilient beings, but what causes
    some to rise to repeated challenges, and others to shrink?
    Explore a new model of resiliency based on modern
    neuroscience. Learn how to design proactive challenges to
    build capacity for ever-greater performance under
    increasing pressure and adversity. Understand how
    focusing on strengths, mindfulness and gamication can
    create increased capacity to perform at higher levels under
    greater pressure.
    This program reframes standard operating procedures into
    new challenges. By pursuing a resilient life, using the 3R’s: “Reduce, Recover and Reframe” method, we can fundamentally
    change our relationship with stress. The program includes science-backed data, entertaining real life
    stories, introspective self-analysis, and optionally, personal roadmap planning and development.

  • Consider the adage that the definition of insanity is doing
    the same thing over and over again and expecting different
    results. Is it time to change your approach? Through the
    metaphor of sport, you will learn a strategy to reframe your
    approach and solve old problems in new ways.
    Olympic medalist John K. Coyle, shares the story of how
    he eschewed his coaches’ advice and quit trying to fix
    his weaknesses. Instead, he applied “Design Thinking”
    to his training, focusing on his core strengths, which led
    to a world-record-breaking performance. Individuals,
    teams and companies can learn this method to identify
    and leverage their unique strengths (and design around
    weaknesses). By restructuring individual approaches and
    team collaboration to maximize native strengths,
    organizations can leap from incremental improvement to
    breakthrough performance.
