Topics, Sessions And Talks
This brilliant and entertaining keynote performance will change the way you think about people, progress, and collaboration. Shane Snow takes audiences on a rollicking adventure, revealing the secrets of the world’s most successful teams and coalitions in history. You’ll learn about the surprising factor behind most failed mergers and marriages; how a certain method of fighting is more useful than brainstorming; how leveraging “cognitive diversity” helps groups outmatch competitors; the science of becoming open-minded—and the outsize effect it has on group success; and the counter-intuitive truths about becoming better team players ourselves.
In this fast-paced keynote, Snow shares the secrets to powerful storytelling, with compelling (and often hilarious) stories and behind-the-scenes insights from his award-winning content company and hit book The Storytelling Edge. With his signature blend of dramatic narrative and rigorous science, Snow shows not only how each member of the audience can use storytelling to supercharge their jobs, but how stories work at a neurological level, and how our organizations can harness their power to build relationships, make people care, and spur change.
Breakthrough innovation happens when we rethink conventional wisdom. But how do you train yourself—or your organization—to think differently? How Do you foster an environment where it’s safe to do so, where innovation can thrive without destroying your business? How Do the world’s most clever companies manage to not only endure change, but harness it to climb to new heights? How Do rocket makers and children’s hospitals stay alive in the face of market shifts and competitive challenges? What Can established businesses learn from revolutionaries, crazy geniuses, and crackpot comedians to help manage changes big and small? In This clever and surprising keynote, Snow debunks myths of success, shares unforgettable research and stories, and fires audiences up to 11. You will never think the same
