Erik’s presentation was one of the highlights of our three day conference for financial institutions! People were not just inspired, they were challenged to look at things differently, which I believe will make a positive impact on the financial service’s industry. Erik and his entire team were wonderful to work with and I would definitely hire him again and highly recommend him to others!

Keynote by Erik Wahl: The Art of Leadership

Today’s leaders face a pressure to innovate—or else perish—unlike any other time in history. Advances in social, mobil and cloud technology, coupled with fierce global competition has made the business landscape nearly unrecognizable from what it was a mere 10 years ago.

Erik Wahl’s entertaining and invigorating Art of Leadership presentation paints a compelling new portrait for what the successful leaders of tomorrow will look like. He inspires audiences to shed old ways of thinking and “business as usual” processes that are outdated, inefficient and detrimental to productivity. Audience members learn new ways to build an emotional connection to drive future employee engagement. Erik’s presentation stretches traditional assumptions on leadership.

The end results include:

Innovative solutions to further your organization

Attracting and engaging quality employees

New efficiencies and the end of detrimental redundancies

Growth and comfort cannot co-exist. When leaders come from a place of authenticity, curiosity, exploration and purpose, this leads to more meaningful connections among team members and with clients and customers—and ultimately, a more profitable organization. An engaged employee equals an engaged customer.

Keynote by Erik Wahl: The Discipline of Creativity

It’s one thing to understand the importance of creativity to the success of your business, but what most people don’t understand is to how to put a structure in place so that innovation can find its way. The paradox of creativity is that structure creates freedom. Even the wildest minds require extreme orderliness and attention to detail so that they have the space and discipline to create.

Consider:

Beethoven sat down everyday at daybreak, regardless of season, and composed until 3:00pm.

Kafka started writing at 11:30pm each night.

Mozart taught lessons by day and composed only in the evenings.

Picasso ate lunch each day with his family in silence and only allowed visitors one day per week.

Mark Twain awoke at 5:30 am, ate a hearty breakfast, and wrote until 5:00 pm.

This program will allow your organization to:

Deconstructs the discipline of the creative process to ignite ideas to action.

Explores The Psychology of Success and the Science of Innovation to achieve superior levels of performance.

Harness The mental toughness required to navigate ambiguity and master complexity in a rapidly changing business environment.

Disruption is the new normal. Are you creating or reacting?
