About Ian Percy
Ian Percy challenges and inspires corporate and association audiences in numerous industries around the world to Focus on the Possibilities. Only three things, he says, will lift your organization to the levels of passion, purpose and profitability you’re looking for: 1) a focus on what is possible instead of old style reactive problem-solving; 2) releasing the incredible energy hidden throughout your organization; and 3) aligning that energy toward your highest possibilities. When your organization gets those three conditions right you will almost effortlessly achieve so much more of what you’re looking for. He is the one keynote speaker and consultant who can engage your teams in experiencing all three dimensions to create a whole new reality for your organization.
Few speakers unite and ignite an audience like Ian. His ability to blend depth of insight with uplifting inspiration is unmatched. That ‘s why Successful Meetings magazine declared him “One of the top 21 speakers for the 21 speakers for the 21st century.” It’s also why he has the rare honor of being inducted into both the US and Canadian Speaker Halls of Fame.
While each presentation is customized for the specific situation, there is one central intention to Ian’s work captured in just three words: Possibilities, Energy Alignment. This is the three-legged stool of sustainable success in today’s uncertain and fear-driven marketplace.
An organizational psychologist, Ian is the creator of The Infinite Possibilities Initiative, a process that applies proven principles from quantum and energetic science to system-wide transformation. “Everything that will ever be possible is already possible!” he says. “On some level we all know we’re meant for greater things, we just don’t quite know how to move the whole organization out of fear and into freedom in order to get them.” And that’s where ian’s magic comes in. He will show you how to do exactly that.
Ian helps organizations transform by reaching for their highest possibilities – in technology, pharmaceuticals, agriculture, education, professional services, healthcare and finance. He’s authored seven books including the breakthrough book on leadership titled Going Deep, and The Profitable Power of Purpose that challenges the typical corporate vision. His latest book Make Your Life a Masterpiece is a full color modern adaptation of James Allen’s “As a Man Thinketh.”
Ian has both US and Canadian citizenship and lives in Scottsdale, Arizona where he has an interest in Quarter horses and where golf constantly tests his commitment to ‘possiblility thinking’!
Thinking without a Box!
Why we have to change our thinking if we want to change our results.
The bottom-line is that until we change how we think, we’ll never be able to take our organizations to new levels of performance, innovation or profitability. Thinking outside the box just isn’t going to do it. Your greatest competitive advantage is found in the genius minds of your people. Yes, genius minds!
This stimulating program shows you how to release that enormous power. The audience will buzz with a new confidence that they can indeed create unimagined success on both ecological and economical levels.
Lighting
A Fire in Your Fireplace: Rekindling the Corporate Spirit
In the usual chaos of change – whether from mergers, re-engineering or crises – the human spirit takes quite a beating. This session helps you to ‘light the fire’ and restore purpose, passion, and performance throughout the organization. Without this spirit that drives all human behavior, all the emphasis on structure, strategies and systems will be to no avail.
Success in the Age of Disengagement: How to Create Unassailable Loyalty from both Employees and Customers
“Engagement” is the new jargon for loyalty and commitment. The frightening thing is there’s not much of it to be found anywhere. The accumulative effect of 9/11, endless corporate scandals, botched hurricane relief, and general lack of national confidence has produced The Age of Disengagement. People are focused only on ‘looking out for themselves’. To a large extent it’s taken the fun out of work and is creating enormous economic loss. The good news is people really want to be engaged! This program explains what it will take to restore our organizations to a point where employee and customer loyalty are unassailable.
The Profitable Power of Purpose
A highly defined “Purpose”; has been behind every true mark of progress and success since the beginning of time. So why, when it comes to discussing the corporate “vision” and “mission” do people fall into a deep sleep? The reason is that many still don’t ‘get it’. Maybe if we realized that Purpose has a direct impact on the bottom line we’d show a little more enthusiasm!
In this challenging and humor-filled presentation people learn what it means to have a higher purpose – a Peak Purpose™ – a vision so powerful it moves the organization to peak passion, performance and especially Peak Profitability.
From Informatio to Wisdom: The Greatest Leadership Challenge of this Century
One thing we all agree on is that we have enough information! The challenge is what to do with it – and that’s where wisdom comes in. Unfortunately we don’t talk about wisdom much, almost like it’s beyond reach. Yet wisdom is the rarest and most needed resource in the corporate world today.
This presentation is ideal for senior leaders as it challenges them to dramatically change how they spend their time. It is the rare executive who has the time to simply think, reflect and determine the wisest course of action. This thinking time is not a luxury, it is essential to any successful enterprise.
Testimonials
“Ian helped us tremendously in bringing our culture into alignment with our strategic plan. He worked closely with my Executive Management Committee on leadership, teambuilding and how to align their leadership skills with the direction of the company. I’ve personally found Ian’s casual, warm and entertaining style overwhelmingly successful.”
– George A. Foegele, President ‘ CEO, Transamerica “Canada”
“Our times call not for the kind of leadership based on scientific formula, but for leadership that demonstrates a power of spirit. Something that comes from the gut, the heart. It is intuitive leadership, as Ian suggests, that tells you how and when to seize the opportunity. It’s opportunity that gives the power.”
– Jon Madonna, former Vice Chair, Travelers Group and former Chairman KPMG International
“You inspired our audience and touched their sensitivity like no others. You taught us how to recapture our spirit. You exceeded my expectations by an order of magnitude – and I already had high expectations.”
– Dr. Richard Shinar, PCS HealthSystems
“You were fantastic – my hero! Thank you for the energy and insights, the session was extremely well received!”
– Joe Austin, COO, Microsoft Services Worldwide
“Ian’s challenge to ‘the Board of Directors’ was to remember that out beyond success, either personal or business, is being meaningful and significant to others. That workshop probably stimulated more comment and more positive response than any other we have had in recent years. I’ve found myself wishing I had kept count of the remarks made to me following his presentation, confirming he had succeeded in touching us at a truly genuine level.”
– C. T. Fredrickson, former President and CEO, AgriBank
