The subconcious mind fools us all the time when we least expect it.
Research shows that creative solutions in life can be right in front of us, but we can unintentionally miss the the answer if we're looking at the situation from the wrong perspective. For instance, 85% of people miss the extra "the" that was used in the previous sentence. Kudos to you if you caught it the first time!
John's session tackles how teams can easily be fooled by their own subconscious decisions and biases when approaching creativity, but uses magic so the audience learns in engaging atmosphere.
Why should you have someone with a background in magic be your keynote speaker?
John doesn't have to be a magician to know that question popped in your head. And the answer is this: keynote speakers should be both educational and entertaining.
He noticed speakers at past conferences would typically hop on stage, but provide vague advice that people would often forget the next day. That's why John blends audience interaction, magic, and professional coaching all in one session to keep it entertaining, yet informative.
It's not what you see.
It's how you look at it.
Think about some of the most successful creations of all time: The wheel. The lightbulb. The plane. The internet. These leaders all had one thing in common: they understood the fundamentals of perception problem solving. Just because a goal seemed impossible to execute at first, didn't mean it was impossible to execute – it started with how they perceived the challenge.
Throughout history, successful magicians & successful leaders have shown the world what can be possible by analyzing ordinary situations in extraordinary ways. For a magician, creative problem solving & communication skills are important to have a successful show -- and in a leader's case, a successful team.
