By blending education with entertainment, John breaks down the habits that the most creative teams in the world use to make ideas come to life
Master the Magic of Innovation
John previously worked at a marketing agency where his boss issued an intriguing challenge to the team: each member was tasked with researching a leadership case study and presenting their findings to the group the following week.
However, John wanted to add a little bit of magic to the mundane.
Instead of delivering a routine PowerPoint presentation like everyone else did, he wove his case study into a captivating tale, using magic and audience interaction to bring the story to life in a way that no one expected. This twist earned him a round of applause, which sparked his passion for blending education with entertainment.
Why Should You Have Someone With a Background in Entertainment Be Your Keynote Speaker?
John noticed speakers at past conferences would typically hop on stage, but provide vague advice that people would often forget the next day. That's why John mixes audience interaction, magic, and professional coaching all in one session to keep it entertaining, yet informative. He calls his session "edu-tainment" which means "educating through entertainment".
His keynote session teaches teams that sometimes creative solutions in life can be right in front of us, but we can unintentionally miss the the answer if we're looking at the situation from the wrong perspective. For instance, 85% of people miss the extra "the" that was used in the previous sentence. Kudos to you if you caught it the first time!
It's Not What You See. It's How You Look At It.
Think about some of the most successful creations of all time: The wheel. The lightbulb. The plane. The internet. These leaders all had one thing in common: they understood the fundamentals of perception problem solving. Just because a goal seemed impossible to execute at first, didn't mean it was impossible to execute – it started with how they perceived the challenge.
Throughout history, successful magicians & successful leaders have shown the world what can be possible by analyzing ordinary situations in extraordinary ways. Let John teach your team those exact strategies to make your ideas possible as well.
