Why The Majority is Always Wrong
“Why The Majority is Always Wrong” is my signature keynote. Already given to dozens of Fortune 500 companies, its 12 minute TED version has gone viral and has been viewed more than 6 million times on YouTube.
How can you consistently apply unconventional strategies to get extraordinary results? If you do what everyone else is doing, you’re not distinguishing yourself from the competition, and you’re probably stuck. In this entertaining keynote, I will share the most important counter intuitive, almost controversial, but highly effective approaches to become part of the small minority which stands apart like a tall giraffe surrounded by tiny field mice.
These are the main audience takeaways:
- How to radically change your thinking to step away from the herd.
- How to apply the strange secret of strategic quitting to become an innovation powerhouse.
- Why a turkey is the actual key to boost resilience and effectively deal with the next crisis.
- Why you can safely ignore spending time on almost all decisions and still get extraordinary results.
- How to use purposeful laziness to massively improve your organizational execution power.
- Why you don’t have to be sick to get better.
Your investment for this keynote starts at Euro 10,000.
