Most Requested Keynote Topics

1. Secrets to Building the Highest Performing and Most Innovative Teams.

Think about the best team you’ve ever been on. The team that was the most collaborative, connected, and productive. How did it feel to be connected to something bigger and feel like you could accomplish anything? What if you could recreate that feeling and success on every team you were on? What if you could accomplish this across your entire organization? 

That feeling (and success) you just thought of is the most powerful business asset. It’s the foundation for a highly successful “people strategy.”

In this interactive session, attendees will learn how to “dial in” to the right behaviors to maximize employee engagement by skyrocketing trust in minutes. They’ll also play the Cards Against Mundanity game (in small groups) so they’ll experience how these strategies will work for them. They will also walk away with deep relationships with other attendees.

It’s based on research studies where participants built their closest relationships in their lives with a complete stranger in minutes.

More than 20,000 employees have played it at Amazon, Southwest Airlines, Ernst & Young, Google, Gillette, Microsoft, Oracle, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Worldwide Express, CareHere, Oklahoma City Thunder (NBA team), Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, Novartis, Merck, and many others.

Here’s What Attendees Gain:

  • Learn the “secret” strategies to quickly maximize performance, engagement, collaboration, and problem-solving.
  • Discover how to build high levels of trust both internally and externally with third-parties (such as clients, prospects, etc.) to instantly create great working relationships and maximize productivity
  • Walk away with best practices on how to manage, interact and engage (up, down and across) much more effectively to maximize teamwork and reduce conflicts.

Bob Perkins | AA-ISP | Founder & Chairman: 

“People loved Cards Against Mundanity. Great keynote.

Thanks again for speaking at the event.”

2. How to Build Great Teamwork

Learning how to best work with others is something that derails and stalls organizations. Over many years, I’ve seen tremendously talented and productive teams struggle because of subtle misunderstandings, miscommunications, and unspoken conflicts.

More than two-thirds of business failures stem from these issues. Miscommunication costs companies $4200 to $10,000 per employee, per year. That’s $420,000 to $1,000,000 for a company of 100 employees!

Leaders talk about the importance of communication, teamwork, and trust. But they rarely say exactly how to do it.

Here’s What Attendees Gain:

  • Learn the top five reasons teamwork gets derailed.
  • Learn the four foundations the most successful companies have in place (and you should too!)
  • How to create three high-impact and overlooked programs to dramatically improve communication and reduce conflicts.

3. How to Eliminate Crippling Leadership Blind Spots

The single biggest predictor of your success is a combination of your self-awareness and emotional intelligence. The challenge is only 10% to 15% of leaders are self-aware, but 95% of them believe they are. The managers and leaders that need the most help either don’t seek it out or resist the training and help. Their blind spots end up significantly negatively impacting performance, collaboration, retention and bottom line metrics.

The key to create quick meaningful behavioral change and get to buy-in is that their unconscious patterns are sabotaging their success. Behavioral change is about pattern recognition much more than skill development. For example, a leader may be a poor listener because they grew up in a household of six children where talking over others got them heard. They may have had to shout at the dinner table for mom and dad to hear them, listen, and give them what they wanted.

We’ll cover together:

  • Why self-awareness and emotional intelligence matters in the workplace and why prioritizing it in training and development is critical
  • Why people get and stay stuck in negative patterns that derail them
  • Specific activities and tips to make quick behavioral changes
