Keynotes

Typical keynotes can focus on the following subjects:

How to develop your visionary capacity as a leader and learn the art of anticipation;

In this 1,5 hour session, I demonstrate that vision is something that can be learned. I offer a developmental framework, together with down-to-earth practices that can help people systemically grow their visionary self. I recommend to complement this keynote with a copy of Anticipate, since the ideas I speak about are covered in more detail in the book.

FuturePriming – a novel and effective way to create foresight;

In this 1,5 to 2 hour session, I explain FuturePriming, a proprietary method developed to sharpen the ability to see things early (one of the growth dimensions in the vision development framework). Participants get an opportunity to experiment with the method and experience its transformative power. I recommend to complement this keynote with a copy of Anticipate, since the ideas I speak about are covered in more detail in the book.

The differences between visionaries and narcissists;

In this 1 hour talk, I focus on the common confusion between visionaries and narcissists. Both are big picture thinkers, both have the power to transform and both have mastered the ability to ignite, but the line that marks the difference is commonly fuzzy and thin. I offer a clear way of distinguishing narcissists from true visionaries. I recommend to complement this keynote with a copy of Anticipate, since the ideas I speak about are covered in more detail in the book.

Visionary communication: how to develop a story that ignites your followers;

In this 1 to 2 hour talk, I provide a clear perspective on the art of visionary communication, and explain how head, hearts and hands can be made to fit together in your visionary perspective. In the longer 2-hour version, participants actually get to practice with the ideas and apply it to their own reality. I recommend to complement this keynote with a copy of Anticipate, since the ideas I speak about are covered in more detail in the book.

Influence: how to achieve your goals by understanding the psychology of persuasion;

In this 1 to 2 hour talk, I explain how state-of-the-art ideas from the social and psychological sciences can be applied to influence and persuade your followers to follow you in your vision, intently and often implicitly. I recommend to complement this keynote with a copy of Anticipate, since the ideas I speak about are covered in more detail in the book.

Strategic decision-making: how to be the guardian of a responsible decision process;

In this 1,5 hour talk, we explore responsible and robust decision making process that safeguards you from tunnel vision. By visiting subjects such as framing, biases and social dynamics I reveal the pitfalls in the decision making process, and offer a 5 stage process that require you to systemically deal with the big business decisions.

Inspirational leadership: how to embrace the future as a leader;

In this 1,5 hour talk, I talk about what it takes to inspire others. We visit how to create images of the future that inspire, and explore the required behaviors, attitudes and mind sets that make your story authentic and credible.

How to create a visionary, future-oriented company culture.

In this 1-hour talk, I look at the processes, tools and (leadership) behaviors that should be present – or become installed – in organizations in order to re-orient towards the future and create a forward thinking company culture.
