Speaking / Workshops
The following programs are available as keynotes, breakouts and seminars. Contact us to see how we can help introduce this powerful tool into your organization.
WealthingTM Mindset
The WealthingTM Mindset introduces our very powerful system of balacing achievement, use and payback. Neither business nor organizations make decisions, people do, and we cannot disconnect the emotional, rational and physical dimensions of those decisions. A series of frameworks, cases and exercises help the audience understand the trigger points that propel them to take action, hold them back or make them doubt.
Key Take Away Points:
~ Achievement: Inner trust, irreverence and accomplishment.
~ Use: Contribution, simplicity, focus.
~ Payback: Rewards, obligations and reciprocity.
~ Understanding values and needs: Relevance and urgency.
~ Passion and skills: Inner and outer control points.
~ Creating and destroying wealth: What we do matters.
Audience: General public.
From Brainer to Gainer
How can you turn knowledge and innovation into wealth? Without the WealthingTM system, most efforts in creativity and innovation DO NOT benefit the business. Value propositions inside the organization need to consider the impact of small tasks on the big picture. Wealth is created by developing new markets or vanishing costs. Creativity is about self-expression, Innovation is about change, what is missing is the bottom line. The principles of passion, achievement, use and payback blend in to combine personal and team benefits.
Key Take Away Points:
~ The WealthingTM mindset: Achievement, use and payback.
~ Leveraging skills and passion. What doesn't show on your 360s.
~ Accomplishments: A trap for brainers, a leverage for Gainers.
~ Progress beat perfection: Get it done and stay committed.
~ No compromise: Relevance, urgency and importance.
~ Failure is an option: Craft an elegant exit option.
~ Backward milestone planning: Lessons from Venture Capital on uncertainty.
Audience: CEOs, private investors, product managers, business developers, entrepreneurs, consultants.
From Brainer to Gainer
A fascinating discovery of what winners do to turn knowledge into wealth in the context of a research institution. A great innovation does not necessarily turns into a popular product or service and results in large profits. Most organizations focus more on protecting than on commercializing their intellectual property. Without a clear understanding of the use and the payback, innovations linger until their window of opportunity is lost.
Key Take Away Points:
~ The WealthingTM mindset: Achievement, use and payback.
~ Intent to Profit: Beyond protecting intellectual property.
~ Accomplishments: A trap for brainers, a leverage for Gainers.
~ Progress beat perfection: the barrier to getting things done
~ The beauty of a satisfied customer: how less is more and more
~ Creating uncontested market space: moving from faster horses to cars
~ Reaping the benefits: nobody has to lose for you to win
~ Failure is an option: cutting loses short
Audience: Researchers, scientists, doctoral and postdoctoral students.
Reshaping Education
Academic institutions face increasing pressure to provide an education that is meaningful to its students. Shifting the focus from teaching to learning provides a different approach to education that yields fantastic results. Across the different disciplines, academics learn to use our method to change the way students view their professional life: creating jobs instead of looking for a job, accepting failure and success as an outcome of actions and leveraging on their passions, not their skills.
Key Take Away Points:
~ WealthingTM mindset: Creating wealth not work.
~ Accountability: Learning beyond classroom, tests and grades.
~ Perfect fit: Building on passions not skills.
~ Perpetual learning: Better than yourself, not anyone else.
~ Action outcomes - failure or success: Inaction is the worst option.
~ Balancing acts: Selfishness and contribution.
~ CEASEA: Create, assess, select, evaluate, adapt.
Audience: professors and leaders of educational institutions, teachers, lecturers, seminar leaders.
Everybody an entrepreneur
All organizations need thinkers and action takers that understand how value can be destroyed or created. Principles of social entrepreneurship are based on Impact. The WealthingTM method provides a systematic approach to the creation of wealth that benefits stakeholders and allows for a comprehensive strategic planning, building prosperity.
Key Take Away Points:
~ Shifting from non-profit to for impact: Breeding success.
~ Value as a dynamic concept: Circumstances affect perceptions.
~ Strategy as a puzzle: Finding the missing pieces.
~ Dreams come before goals: Inspire, think and act.
~ The need to think big: Finding the gaps.
~ Milestone planning: From survival to sustainability.
Audience: managers and board members of non-profit organizations.
Funding Your Million Dollar Idea
Funding is a recurrent worry for entrepreneurs. Balancing cash flow is one of the most delicate and critical aspects of managing a firm and launching an innovation. Understanding the basis of funding allows the entrepreneur to find an ideal fit or to modify the idea's strategy to increase the probability of receiving funds.
Take away points:
~ Be clear: Give me your money
~ Income is assumed, expenses are controlled
~ Equity creates a promise: Share value and dividends.
~ Debt creates an obligation: Principal and interests.
~ Equity partners from strong ties: Founder’s, family and friends.
~ Equity partners from weak ties: equity shareholders, angel investors, venture capitalists.
~ Debt, the cheapest money.
~ Funding without capital.
Audience: CEOs, private investors, consultants, entrepreneurs
