What Michael talks about
Michael delivers a bunch of keynotes and sessions. Here are the three most popular ones.
Unlock ideas by learning to pitch them
Everything of impact started with someone convincing someone else of an idea and having them motivated to come on the journey, commit funds or become an advocate of the mission.
Great ideation and strategy sessions should have 2 parts. The session that generates new and innovative ideas AND everything that happens after the session to give those ideas the best chance of succeeding.
Let’s get new ideas on the table and once they’re there, let’s give them wings to fly.
There are skills, frameworks and habits that can be learned that will help great ideas succeed. It’s time for you to be a influential pitch machine.
Influencers are made
Ever notice that no matter the setting there are some people that are just ridiculously interesting and command a higher share of voice.
These magical people are leaders who know how to command a room or screen, close deals and ooze credibility – just by knowing what to say, how to say it and when to say it.
Learn the habits and tools that will supercharge your powers of persuasion regardless of personality type:
- How to bring stakeholders on a journey with you, a shared journey is more likely to collect success along its way.
- The frameworks that can be used to turn ideas in to ideas that stick.
- The techniques for finding your authentic voice as a communicator.
The hacker mindset
“Isaac Newton… in one person, he combined the experimenter, the theorist and the mechanic.” – Albert Einstein
Break it open, figure it out, mostly fail – but sometimes make a better one. Then, maybe, occasionally ask for permission.
Innovation, disruption, design thinking, growth mindset, failing forward… whatever you call it, there is special awesomesauce that’s the difference between those who are killing it with original, impactful work and those who just show up.
Learn how step up your game by breaking the rules and engaging your inner hacker.
