Speech Topic
Assumptions are key components of every decision you make. The trouble we get into is treating those assumptions as truths rather than believes.
But what if we could take those dangerous assumptions and turn them into advantages that help drive growth and change?
That is the principle of The Assumpt! – an innovative paradigm that allows you to identify and then challenge assumptions which otherwise act as barriers to your reaching your goals.
The Assumpt! helps people understand that it's OK to make assumptions. What is important is that you identify and then know how to challenge the assumptions you make.
You learn how to think differently by challenging dangerous assumptions while receiving tools to internalize the Assumpt! Paradigm and apply the new learning spontaneously over and over again. The end result is helping individuals and organizations overcome the barriers standing in the way of their success.
Learning Outcomes
Leadership: How to engage and motivate your team to think and act differently. Getting people to think strategically, not just tactically. Breaking through barriers that stand in the way of your teams' success.
Marketing/Sales: Enhance creative thinking. Turning a "No" into a "Yes". Aligning people through better communications. Challenging industry assumptions to separate your business from the competition and drive sales.
Innovation: Shifting perspectives. Re-engineering your thinking to do things differently than before. Challenging the assumptions standing in the way of execution.
