All industries face it at some point…disruption. You may think your industry or your company is safe, but when you don’t look into the future and see what’s coming, and when you don’t constantly innovate, you risk the chance of being blindsided by your competition, the economy, technology, the weather, government regulations, or customer tastes.
Inventor and innovator Julie Austin’s speech based her book “Surviving Disruption” is 12 unique, innovative strategies you can use for marketing and branding to distinguish yourself and stay ahead of the curve.
Here’s what you’ll learn:
Serendipity is about finding something of value that you’re not looking for. Inventors know this and know how to create the conditions for serendipity to happen. Without serendipity we wouldn’t have penicillin, microwave ovens, X-rays and velcro.
We all know people who seem to have all the luck, and ones who can never catch a break. It turns out that there’s a scientific reason why. Lucky people have a series of traits and habits that leave them open to more serendipity. But those traits and habits are available to anyone who wants to have more good luck in life.
Some of those include having an insatiable curiosity, being able to look at things from a different perspective, knowing how to spot opportunities others miss, how to turn bad luck into good luck, and getting out of your comfort zone on a regular basis.
Inventor and innovator Julie Austin weaves inspirational storytelling and examples of serendipity with proven techniques inventors use to create more serendipity in life and business.
