How Do You Stay Ahead and Win in a Game That Has No End?

So many organizations and individuals are obsessed with winning. But how do you win a game that never really ends? There is no such thing, for example, as “winning” business or life.

Games like football and chess are finite, with firm rules and clear endpoints. But business is infinite – there’s ultimately no such thing as “winning” because there’s always a new set of challenges. Those who thrive in the long run – the ones who frustrate and run circles around their competition and contribute more to society and their bottom line – are the ones who play by infinite rules. They do things that enable them to out-maneuver, out-innovate, and outlast their competitors.

Simon Sinek’s Start With Why and Leaders Eat Last have helped millions see the hidden rules that govern our behavior. The Infinite Game challenges us to rethink our perspective with a deceptively simple question: How do you stay ahead in a game with no end?

How the Best Team Pulls Together.

Today’s workplaces can be full of cynicism and self-interest. With change and disruption as constants, it’s easy to forget that trust-based relationships are the foundation for achievement.

Through stories, research and basic science, Heath explains the three major shifts that will help build a culture of trust and create ideal conditions for teams to be successful. When your people work together to confront external threats, they’ll get more done, with less stress, and actually have fun doing it.

Heath reveals the secrets to rallying your team around a clearly-articulated purpose – because when you’re clear about who you serve, where you’re going, and how you’re getting there, the natural response is to trust, collaborate and bring bold visions to reality

Foster a Purpose-Driven Culture and Inspire Everyone to Action

Imagine a world in which your people wake up inspired to go to work, feel valued while they’re there, and return home fulfilled by the work they do. To bring that world into reality, you must start with a simple question: WHY?

In today’s most successful organizations, leaders tap into the power of purpose by articulating a vision of the future and creating trust-based environments in which people naturally work together to achieve extraordinary things. Through stories, studies and science, Heath shows audiences that the WHY is at the centre of it all – and the key to success and fulfillment on both an individual and organizational level.

** Heath is an official IGNITER with Simon Sinek’s team, living his own WHY by delivering keynotes and programs based on Simon’s best-selling works.

Skills, Tips & Behaviours that Build Trust, Gain Commitment and Inspire Change

Our ability to influence wisely and effectively – to get people to listen, to trust, and act on what we say – is arguably the most important skill for reaching our greatest potential. Though we face these challenging interpersonal situations every single day, rarely do we have the opportunity to sharpen these skills and see the difference between what works and what doesn’t.

In this fast-paced presentation, Heath illustrates the most effective, scientifically-proven ways to influence and impact the people around you and your team. Like all of Heath’s talks, Interact with Influence is evidence-based and highly customized for each audience.

How to Think, Act and Communicate like the World’s Most Trusted Advisors

When people think, act, and communicate as a Trusted Advisor, they dramatically increase productivity, improve business results, and reduce stress. Whether working internally as a business partner, or externally with customers, clients and stakeholders, the impact is the same: greater capacity, more satisfaction, and less friction.

Simply put, high-trust individuals and teams outperform low-trust organizations in every key business metric: profitability, revenue growth, employee engagement, customer service, retention, and more.

In this program, Heath teaches the key skills and mindset that will usher you and your team into the vital (and valuable) role of Trusted Advisors.

Talent FAQ's

Speaker fees can vary depending on factors such as expertise, demand, and event specifics. While some speakers may charge a flat fee for their services, others may have hourly rates. It’s best to discuss fee structures directly with the speaker or their representative to understand the pricing model.

Keynote speeches typically range from 30 to 90 minutes, with the duration determined by the speaker’s expertise, the event’s agenda, and audience preferences. Keynote speeches often include a combination of inspirational stories, practical insights, and actionable advice tailored to the event’s theme or objectives.

The scale of the event and audience size can indeed impact a speaker’s fee. Larger events with a broader reach or higher attendance may command higher fees due to increased exposure and demand. Conversely, smaller events or niche audiences may offer opportunities for more flexible pricing arrangements.

Travel expenses such as transportation, accommodation, and meals are typically negotiated separately from the speaker’s fee. These costs vary depending on the speaker’s location, travel distance, and event duration. It’s important to clarify travel arrangements and expenses during the booking process to avoid misunderstandings.

Many speakers require a deposit to secure a booking, with the remaining balance due closer to the event date. Deposits are often non-refundable and serve as a commitment from both parties. It’s advisable to discuss deposit requirements and payment terms with the speaker or their representative when finalizing the booking.

  • Virtual speaking appearances are a cost-effective alternative to high speaking fees, often 10-50% cheaper than in-person rates.
  • There is typically no difference in fee for a 15-minute speech versus a 60-minute speech.
  • Some motivational speakers are open to discounting their fee if hired for more than one event by the same organization.
  • When browsing speakers, consider their location to keep travel costs down.
  • Personal connections to your organization or event location can increase your chances of securing a renowned speaker.
  • Be upfront about your needs and expectations to ensure a successful partnership.
  • Speaker bureaus like Speakers Inc help guide you through the booking process to negotiate the best deal with favorable terms.
