Challenge Assumptions and Create More Change That Matters

A keynote for audiences in need of new ways of thinking.

What you know for certain could be exactly why you’re stuck.

The thinking, processes, and attitudes that got you where you are have served their purpose. You’ve found lots of right answers and developed systems to get things done. That’s great as long as things are going as expected. But these past few years have taught us just how unpredictable the world really is. Now it’s time to shift our thinking and take the next steps to succeed.

By challenging our assumptions, we can move past our preconceived notions of the ‘right answers.’ Perhaps more than at any time in history, we need to find new ways of thinking and doing things.

As always I use eye-popping magic, stories, and optical illusions as powerful visual metaphors to create a sense of wonder and astonishment. This is not only thoroughly engaging and fun, but research shows that there’s a transformative power in wonder and awe. It empowers each person in the room to apply the learning to their own lives.

Keynote or workshop participants will learn…

… how to get out of the “same-old-thinking-rut” and find new solutions

… how to identify and challenge the limiting assumptions that hold us back

… how to see the world from new perspectives so they can create more change that matters.

Interrogating Our Internal Narratives to Create Meaningful Change

A keynote for audiences navigating change.

We humans are hardwired to interpret the world through stories. Our unconscious assumptions and narratives can quietly create misunderstandings and missed opportunities. But we can ‘tell different stories’ that lead to better results. Participants will leave with practical tools to improve collaboration, strengthen relationships, and create meaningful change at work.

To make these unconscious stories clear, I use magic, stories, and optical illusions as visual metaphors. This empowers participants to see themselves in the content and apply the learning to their own lives.

This program can be delivered as an interactive keynote address or workshop.

Keynote or workshop participants will leave with…

… critical self-awareness of their assumptions

… a deep understanding that our personal interpretations are not universal

… a simple model to recognize and change the internal narratives that shape our interpretation of events
