DRIVE: What makes us buy and buy in

In a challenging business environment where our capacity to persuade and engage determines our results, drives successful sales and marketing and is a measure of modern leadership, organisations and individuals must understand the hidden driver that motivates human beings at their core. This goes far beyond logic based reasoning and even emotional manipulation. In this insightful and motivating presentation, Dan will:

Identify the key driver to all human behaviour
Provide clarity around why one size doesn’t fit all
Establish a process for overcoming objection through four simple motivations
Give your organisation the tools it needs to have customers buying and employees buying in

WE-Q: Working with collaborative intelligence

The hyper-specialisation and interconnectedness of the modern workforce make the capacity for intelligent collaboration a must have, not some touchy, feely nice to have. However few orgnisations can generate inter-departmental cooperation, let alone coordinating multiple organisational cultures. In this interactive presentation, Dan and his business partner Kieran Flanagan will facilitate:

How “I can’t” but “we can”
Why conflict is critical to collaboration
A process for unleashing the multiple skill sets within your organisation
The tools managers need to activate every member of their team

INNOVATION ON PURPOSE: What you make is who you are

In a world of change it is our capacity to innovate that keeps us competitive, yet too often the process of innovation is left to random invention, or worse still, trend watching and late adoption. So it should come as no surprise that the majority of corporate innovative processes meet with market place failure. In this business critical presentation, Dan will demonstrate:

The the next big thing is already in your organisations’ dna
How to turn your people into a creatively competitive machine
Why innovation must be congruent with the vision of the companies leadership
That ideas are impotent without action

SHIFT: The way we shift perceptions, people and products is shifting

The rate of change in our society, our values, the media, the market place and our businesses is unprecedented in history. It is our capacity to understand the implications and uses of these shifts, rather than falling victim to them, that determines our success. In this challenging and exciting presentation, Dan will reveal:

The possibilities these shifts offer us as individuals and organisations
The fundamental shifts that are changing our culture, communications and companies
Where those shifts are taking us from and to (and the threats if we don’t keep up)
The latent possibilities that are just waiting for us when we get in front of the game

GRAVITY: How to lead with engagement, alignment and attraction

There has been a fundamental change in the way we engage people as leaders, employers and businesses taking us from an era of push and ushering in an age of pull. This understanding is critical to the success of any leader, movement or manager. In this compelling presentation, Dan will cover.

The elements of gravity and how to create it
The traits common to successful leaders, products and movements
How to create alignment within organisations, teams and markets
The actions required to attract volunteers and create followers
