Presentations:
Innovation is a State of Mind
How often do you have days when you are so busy you don't have time to think? Days when there isn't one spare moment to think about how you can improve the way that you do things?
No matter how well your business is doing today, if you keep doing things the same way, in 10 years' time - maybe less - you will have been left behind. The increasingly rapid pace of change continues to turn today's cutting edge best practice into tomorrow's fax machine. To stay relevant and successful, businesses need to keep coming up with better ways of doing things. They need to innovate.
In eight years hosting 'The New Inventors' James O'Loghlin met hundreds of people who thought outside the box and came up with new and better ways of doing things.
He will talk about:
Why every business needs to be continually innovating and how individuals can do it
The three things innovators do better than everyone else, and five things every business can do to build a workplace culture that encourages innovation
Innovation is YOUR state of mind
In his keynote, ‘Innovation is a State of Mind’, James O’Loghlin identifies the 3 building blocks of innovation; in this dynamic follow up workshop, participants apply those principles to create and grow their own ideas to improve their business. The 1 hour to half-day workshop will get delegates identifying opportunities, solving problem and thinking on their feet as they are challenged to unleash their creativity and think up and grow new ideas to make their business better . The workshop will arm delegates with the tools to impart real change within their organisations for years to come.
Takeaways from the session include:
A large number of thought through and practical ideas that the business can implement.
The growth of a new culture of innovation and collaboration.
Each delegate will have a new found belief in his or her ability to think up ways of doing things better, and know how to grow and use their ideas.
Overcoming Crisis Through Innovation
We have been living in an era of disruption and rapid change for some time, but never before have we faced changes as rapid and drastic as those caused by the Coronavirus. Suddenly, everything is different. Over the next few months organisations and businesses will face big challenges. To meet them, they will have to find new and better ways of doing things. More than ever before, your people need to be equipped with the skills they need to be innovative, so they can be constantly coming up with better ways of doing things.
In eight years hosting ABC-TV’s ‘The New Inventors’ James O’Loghlin worked with over a thousand innovators, and in his entertaining and thought-provoking keynote and/or workshop he will share practical strategies to equip your people with the skills they need to be innovative every day.
In this session you will learn:
An understanding of how innovation happens; the 3 things innovators do better than others
Easy-to-implement strategies to identify opportunities for innovation in your business and take advantage of them
How to create an organisational culture that encourages everyone to be innovative
How to quickly and cheaply identify the best new ideas and implement them”
Virtually Brilliant - Turn your presentation into a compelling story
It was already difficult mastering the art of speaking to an audience who were directly in front of you. Now, the new world of on-line meetings, webinars and zoom conferences have created a new type of pressure for presenters. It’s much too easy for an online audience to become disengaged and your message to be lost.
With practical and friendly tips for every sort of gathering both in the real world and virtual, Leanne and James take you through each of the stages of presenting and show you how to keep your audience sitting up and eager for more. From researching your topic, to adding humour and interest, from using your voice effectively to conquering your nerves, and using PowerPoint to enhance your message, rather than bury it, the Virtually Brilliant approach will see even the most experienced speaker improve their skills enormously.
It will give confidence to those who have never delivered a speech before and will allow those who have done it many times to hone and finesse their skills in both the live and virtual space.
You will learn how to:
Learn the presentation techniques for high engagement both online and onstage
Construct presentations using our templates and techniques
Turn your presentation into a compelling story.
Use an economy of words to bring clarity to your message
Notice your nervous symptoms and channel your fear into excitement
