John's programs will motivate your staff to embrace new opportunities in a changing world, to open up their minds to new realities, and to develop the "Adventure Attitude"™ strategies that will be the key to success in the future.
"NO MOUNTAIN TOO HIGH:
Challenging Change With The Adventure Attitude"
A New Keynote Presentation from John Amatt. "The challenge of change is forcing us to rethink our values and to rekindle our spirit of adventure. It will take courage, resourcefulness and endurance to meet this challenge — the courage to try, to commit and to take more risks; the resourcefulness to be innovative and creative in finding new ways of doing old things; and the endurance to keep moving forward despite all the setbacks."
John Amatt
In his new keynote, "No Mountain Too High", John uses his amazing storytelling ability and the power of metaphor to address the following themes:
- Setting Realistic Goals and Expectations
- Taking Calculated Risk and Being Adventurous
- Embracing Fear and Anxiety
- Avoiding the "Trap of Complacency"
- Understanding the Values of Commitment
- Learning from Setbacks and Applying the Lessons
- Questioning the Status Quo by always asking "WHY?"
- Building Trust within an Effective Team
- Leading by Personal Example
- Taking Pride in Your Individual Contribution
- Anticipating the Future and Being Prepared
"Adventure isn't hanging on a rope on the side of a mountain. Adventure is an ATTITUDE that we must
apply to the day-to-day obstacles of life — facing new challenges, seizing new opportunities, testing our
resources against the unknown and, in the process, discovering our own unique potential."
John Amatt
John Amatt's most popular presentation, the highly innovative and inspirational "Climbing Your Own Everest" explores the metaphor of striving to reach the top of the world. Illustrated by magnificent colour photography from his successful expedition which climbed Everest, and supplemented by music, sound effects, and taped radio conversations, this presentation investigates the qualities we must all bring to bear in climbing to the top today's difficult and unpredictable economic environments. Concepts explored include:
- Teamwork
- Preparation
- Commitment
- Adapting to Changing Environments
- Setting Realistic Goals
- The role of positive attitude
all set against the life and death struggle on the mountain!
By drawing the analogy between the challenge of climbing to the top of the world and the equal challenge of "Climbing Your Own Everest" in a personal and professional sense, this presentation lends special focus to the challenges facing us all in the future. Speaker support for this presentation is available in wide screen, nine projector format, as well as single screen, two projector dissolve.
Straight to the Top and Beyond
Change is inevitable... and increasing! Rapid and radical change is the primary challenge facing corporations and professionals today. We cannot stop this change, nor can we ignore it. But we can increase our ability to adapt, to manage change effectively, and to benefit from the numerous opportunities that change creates. In these rapidly changing times, the metaphor of adventure is the perfect vehicle for articulating the strategy that will help us address this challenge. By definition, adventure involves dealing with the uncertain, the unpredictable and the unknown, just as change involves moving towards a future in which there are no guarantees. To succeed in the uncertain world of the 21st century, we must learn to embrace change, and to become visionary and adventurous in dealing with the economic, social, and political environments in which we must all operate.
John also presents seminars/workshops of three to five hours duration, which focus on the theme of "Meeting the Challenge of Change" in corporate and professional life. Designed as an in-house program, this thought provoking seminar has also been effectively integrated into annual meetings or conventions.
