Keynote Title:
The Ring in the Rubble: A Most Rewarding Way to Look at Change
 
All organizations face constant and rapid change, which by nature many people are inclined to resist. But organizations that don’t learn to embrace change will soon fall behind their competitors that do. The challenge for leaders everywhere is to get people to let go of their old ways of doing business so they can create and grab on to the new. Perhaps no one has contemplated this leadership challenge more than Gary Bradt, who for years was endorsed by Spencer Johnson as the leading speaker worldwide on Johnson’s phenomenal bestseller Who Moved My Cheese? As such, Gary gave well over one hundred keynotes and constantly heard the same request from his clients: Help our people learn to embrace change; help them see the opportunity in change and how it can work to their advantage. Gary’s new keynote, The Ring in the Rubble (based on his upcoming business book to be released by McGraw-Hill in summer 2007), answers this call. The presentation provides audiences a fun, engaging and powerful new way to think about change. The metaphor/message is simple, clear and cuts to the chase: Change may have reduced your best-laid plans to rubble. However, buried within every pile of rubble lies a ‘golden ring’ of opportunity. Your job is to find it. My job is to show you how. Through numerous stories and examples- some humorous, some touching, all inspiring- Gary will motivate your audience to ‘dig for the ring of opportunity’ no matter how difficult the circumstances. After all, there is always a ring in the rubble- and there is treasure in your trouble. This keynote will show you the way.
