By Sir Ken Robinson
Local Expert: Anne Raymond, Xtreme Productivity Coach
What does it take to achieve personal success and feel like you are in your element? World-renowned innovator Sir Ken Robinson argues that it is not natural talent that drives personal success, but rather a delicate interplay among talent, passion, attitude and opportunity that bring people to achieve their highest levels of success and lead lives of meaning and purpose. Based on his newly released and highly acclaimed book The Element: How Finding Your Passion Changes Everything, Robinson will draw on personal stories of high achievers in many fields. In addition, he will discuss the three myths about innovation that hold many organizations back, including the practices that drive the most innovative organizations ahead of the pack.
Participants will learn:
- What it takes to find “The Element” in our own lives
- The relationship between imagination, creativity and innovation
- The need for “systemic innovation”
