Daily Inspiration: "Be the spark that ignites the flame of change!" - Futurist Jim Carroll
Most people have a problem.
In fact, most people know that they aren't quite ready for all the change that they are faced with in their future, yet know that everything they are involved with - their business model, skills, product or services, knowledge - will be significantly different. With that being the case, they also know that they aren't very good at innovative ways of dealing with this dilemma because they know they've got a bunch of innovation excuses in the way!
That's the conclusion I've come to with some 15 years' worth of very specific insight offered up by the audience members in my keynote presentations.
This means that most people are crying out for someone to give them a pathway them out of this 'change wilderness' - they are looking for someone to lead the way. They are looking for someone who can ignite the flames of innovation to move forward through this change dilemma - they need a spark to get them going.
That spark could be you.
What's the backstory here? For 15 years now, most of my keynotes have included several live polling questions - people respond using their smartphones. It's a pretty cool system, with the results coming in live on the screen as I talk the audience through the questions and technology, providing the high degree of interactivity demanded by today's audience. It also allows me to gauge the mood and attitude of the audience in real-time.
In addition to some highly customized questions, there are usually four key questions built into every keynote - and I keep getting the same consistent answer from every single audience, regardless of industry.
And what it tells me is that eveyone knows they have a problem
