Keynotes

Keynote by speaker Liz Bohannon: Beginner Pluck: Build Your Life of Purpose & Impact Now

How often do we dismiss someone’s success by calling it “Beginner’s Luck?” What if the very fact that they were a beginner is just what gave them the advantage to succeed? What if there is a method to a beginner’s mind that creates success? What a beginner may lack in experience, track record, know-how, and connections, they make up in nerve, curiosity, spirit, courage, and a willingness to acknowledge they don’t have it all figured out, which ultimately leads to an iterative approach to achieving success.

In this speech, based on her new book, Beginner’s Pluck: Build Your Life of Purpose and Impact Now, Liz takes her 10 years of experience building her company and shares uncommon ideas toward success that come from a beginner’s mind.” Liz will guide your audience to a new roadmap for success that focuses on the acts of doing instead of dreaming and ultimately attaining even the most challenging goals.

Audience takeaways:

Use the principles of a beginner’s mind to achieve any goal.

Shake yourself out of analysis paralysis.

Get inspired to go beyond dreaming and start doing.

Focus on creating your passion rather than waiting for it to find you.

This keynote is also available virtually.
