“But this is the way it’s always been done.” - Said no successful entrepreneur ever

An idea is just an idea until it’s put into action and brought to life by people who share your vision and passion for changing the world. A world-changing idea has to not only be innovative; it has to disrupt the status quo. The challenge is to help people take their ideas shape them into something powerful. All too often though, organizations limit their ideas to that of iteration versus innovation. There’s a difference…

Iteration – Doing old things better
Innovation – Doing new things that create new value
Disruption – Doing new things that make the old things obsolete. 

In an entertaining, insightful and encouraging way Brian will:

• Inspire the audience to shift perspective and learn to unlearn
• Help the audience bring ideas to life that are innovative and maybe even disruptive
• Teach and motivate people to believe in their own ideas and intuitions to challenge business as usual and unlock new opportunities
