Keynote Topics
The purpose of this keynote/breakout is for participants to explore what unites them as opposed to what divides them.
We live in a society that is becoming increasingly polarized but even in our darkest moments, there are areas where we can all shine.
Participants will learn how to have difficult conversations, how to challenge implicit biases, and how to build a community where differences are not just tolerated but celebrated!
Why are potential customers not buying your product, especially if you know it is a superior product? It could come down to an issue of trust.
The goal of this keynote/breakout is to explore the reasons why your company may not be the preferred brand for a targeted customer group and create strategies to counter that challenge.
If you believe that you have a superior product to offer and it’s not moving the way you prefer, the issue is possibly not the product.
The issue could be the narrative created by customers about your company. Change the narrative, change the results!
