  • Think like an outsider to load your pipeline with great ideas.
  • Learn how to navigate the messy, uncomfortable part of change & innovation

Hungry 4 Change!

The “way we’ve always done it” dies hard. After all, it has one of the most powerful forces on the planet as its ally. Fear.

Fear is the enemy of change, thief of desire and champion of complacency. Learn the characteristics of people who move with a sense of urgency and say “yes” to new ideas, new relationships, new business models, new products and new markets.

Audience Takeaways

  • Learn to think like an insurgent, not an incumbent.
  • Inspire opportunity-led vs. crisis-driven change.
  • Use limitations as springboards to creativity.
  • Learn what it looks like to be coachable, to get smarter, better, faster.
See how this plays out in companies that demonstrate significant, long-term growth.

Not Just a Company; A Cause

Across the globe, people expect organizations to have meaningful social impact. In the future, if you can’t demonstrate that you are legitimately doing something to make the world better, you won’t be in business. When the business becomes a cause what follows is a movement, and people opt-in to movements.

Audience Takeaways

  • Learn the ONE THING that inspires employees to come to work fully awake, fully engaged, and firing on all cylinders.
  • Learn the ONE THING that inspires them to become brand fanatics.
Define your business as a noble, heroic cause and watch your people reach higher, move faster and own more! Then, you will stand out in a sea of sameness.

Gutsy Leadership

If you didn’t have a title would anyone follow you? Forget titles, status and power. Leadership is about recognizing the potential in people and ideas and then bravely stepping into the arena to develop that potential.

Audience Takeaways

  • So, you must learn to rumble with vulnerability.
  • Leadership is about living your values, growing trust and choosing service over self-interest
This presentation is about creating a courageous culture that moves the organization in bold new directions.

“he got them excited and energized about this change!”

The global salesforce at BMC Software is going through a dramatic transition. The new focus is on a c-suite buyer who is ultra-concerned about handing the sheer VOLUME, VARIETY and VELOCITY of data flooding into and out of their businesses.

Bill Miller, President of ZSolution Optimization at BMC Software invited Kevin to participate in BMC’s four-day Sales Kick-off Meetng. Kevin showed this international group what it would look like if they were truly hungry for change and how they could mange the uncertainty, risk and emotional exposure that comes with this transformation.
