Topics, Sessions And Talks
Good stories surprise us. They stick in our minds and help us remember ideas and concepts in a way that numbers, data and text on a page/slide/screen do not. Those who tell good stories have an increasing advantage with their ability to connect with the audiences that matter most for their personal + professional endeavours. Individuals who share compelling stories will be able to spark, inspire and motivate others to collaborate/rally to turn ideas/hopes/aspirations into reality.
Kevin Carroll's talk, "The PIVOT: Adopting A Game Changing Mindset," inspires audiences to embrace change and innovation through a transformative mindset, unlocking new possibilities and success paths.
As children our days were filled with productive play. What was entertaining was also instructive. Games of tag were exercises in planning, teamwork, strategy, design, decision-making, creativity, interpersonal communication and risk-taking. Play was serious business in our youth—and it should be even more serious business in our professional lives if we hope to unleash the creative genius that spurs organizational growth.
Join Kevin Carroll, a catalyst for innovation with a diverse background from the Air Force to the NBA, as he shares strategies for reigniting passion and driving success. Learn from him how to harness creativity and problem-solving through engaging anecdotes and practical advice for personal and organizational growth.
