Jonathan Brill, international bestselling author and Forbes #1 futurist shares vital insights on competencies for strategic luck that can help you navigate the unpredictable waters we face today.
Choose Luck: Tools to Navigate Uncertainty
Most people think luck is coincidence, fate or that you make it yourself. It’s not, it’s a science-based skill — and it’s one your audience can get dramatically better at, in less than an hour. If you are just making your own luck, you aren’t making nearly enough.
Luck, it turns out, isn’t chance. It’s a choice. Your audience can have more joy, success and ease with less effort through this science based, interactive keynote — no matter how lucky they are. Brill, an international best selling author and scholar on decision making, creates a sense of wonder and opens up a world of practical possibility for your audience through a combination of hilarious personal stories, intimate interactive moments and hard data.
By the end of the session, your audience will have practiced the four ‘Levers of Luck’ and have a take away souvenir to embed more luck in their lives.
At an optional facilitated event, after the talk Brill will facilitate a cocktail event, based on the pillars, where attendees will find the person they most want to talks to, make six times more connections than at a typical cocktail party. If previous events are a guide, over 80% will receive help with their most pressing challenge — at your event.
So, would you like a little more luck in your life?
