GABOR GEORGE BURT - SUGGESTED SPEAKING TOPICS
Keynotes and Workshops
I lead provocative explorations to shape the future of your company. No matter how successful your business is today, you still operate within self-imposed boundaries. These boundaries bring the risk of marginalization. But overstepping them leads you to broadened consumer relevance and sustained growth.
You will learn how to apply the Slingshot Framework to:
Immersive Executive Experience
IEE sessions are exclusive, custom designed, multi-day events. They fuse together exceptional intellectual learning, hand-picked global locations and mind-opening adventures. Each session enables participants to be fully immersed in the concept of re-imagining boundaries.
These one-of-a-kind sessions vary in length from two to four days, and involve intimate groups of maximum twenty participants. I personally design and lead each session.

- Identify consumer ‘pain points’ and to turn them into ‘points of infatuation’

- Systematically use your newly rekindled creativity to expand the relevance of what you do in your business and your life
- Create and sustain strong emotional connection with your target audience
- Elevate your business to shape lifestyles (and work-styles) rather than being simply a provider of goods or services

Slingshot: Re-Imagine Your Business Re-Imagine Your LifeWhat if you could reignite your childhood creativity in a systematic way, to overstep self-imposed limitations and to discover what you are really capable of achieving? It's all here at your fingertips. Defy conventional wisdom and give reign to your imagination for success in your business and your life.
Continuous innovation is both necessary and exhilarating, and we all possess the inner capacity for it. Our capacity has simply been buried and lays dormant within us. As children, our imagination knew no boundaries. We would grab a slingshot and be instantly transformed into a warrior, a spy, a huntress, or protector of treasure. But as we grew older, our intellectual comfort zone shifted from that of continuous exploration and inquisitiveness to that of conformity with accepted norms of perception. All is not lost, however. We just need the right framework to re-engage our youthful creativity: the Slingshot Framework. Find out why you need to infatuate your target audience and to provide them continuous lifestyle enrichment; how to become market-driving and to shape your offering for broadest relevance; and how to channel your reclaimed creativity into smart strategy. Launch yourself to new business and personal heights and have fun doing it. |
