MOST REQUESTED TOPIC:
The Nothing Speech
That’s right! JoBe Cerny talks about Nothing! Audiences describe his speech as: “humorous, inspirational, moving, educational, entertaining, mind-expanding.”
He frequently attracts record crowds and typically gets Letters of Recommendation encouraging other groups to book him so they can learn Nothing, too.
Keep in mind, The Nothing Speech is a business speech, and nothing is the subject. Cerny/American Creative is a company that specializes in creative thinking, and the Nothing Speech is about opening doors to new ways of thinking. JoBe Cerny defines the art of creativity as “learning to think about things no one has ever thought of before.”
The best business opportunities arise in situations where no solutions exist. It is always easiest to sell customers something when they have nothing. Once recognized, nothing can become an opportunity to create something new to fill the void. This speech trains people to see things that are not there (the nothings of life) and turn them into something!
JoBe frequently does radio talk shows before his speech.
