Essentialism: The Disciplined Pursuit of Less
Here are three questions to ask in order to see if this keynote is relevant in your organization. Have you or the people in your organization:
- Ever been stretched too thin?
- Sometimes feel busy but not productive?
- Ever had your day hijacked by someone else’s agenda?
Yes to any of these? This keynote will be a home run at your next event. The reason for this is that Greg McKeown offers a way of thinking for discerning what is essential, eliminating what is not, and removing obstacles in order to make execution as effortless as possible. Essentialism isn’t about getting more things done, it’s about getting the right things done.
Greg’s distinctive style of speaking sets him apart from other polished speakers. He spurns an avalanche of slides in favor of having a conversation with participants. The interactive experience is entertaining and engaging from the first moment to the last instant. As one event organizer put it, “This is the most engaging keynote that I have ever attended!”
