Keynote Abstract
Impossible is Just a Word: How Big Innovation Starts with Small Habits
We've all heard the phrase: It's not what you see, it's how you look at it. But what does that even mean?
John has learned over the years that creative solutions in life can be right in front of us, but our subconscious mind can 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.
His keynote is educational, yet entertaining that mixes magic, humor and professional coaching all in one session centered around his message that "Impossible is Just a Word" with the right perspective. He demonstrates how some products and services that we use on a daily basis were once completely unthinkable a few years ago. However, successful magicians & successful leaders have shown the world what can be possible by analyzing ordinary situations in extraordinary ways.
Surprisingly, what sparked John's popularity in the industry was not the magic tricks themselves, but rather his analysis on successful team building practices and how to master the magic of innovation. Sleight of hand might be important for a magician, but creative problem solving and communication skills are more important to have a successful show, or in a leader's case, a successful team.
By blending education with entertainment, John's keynote breaks down the psychology of how successful teams take a vision in their head become a reality, but more importantly, how to bring a sense of wonder, curiosity, and inspiration to the world -- regardless of what you do for a living or what your life aspirations might be.
