Speech Topics
Together is Better
New York Times best-selling author Simon Sinek is an unshakable optimist and he wants to share that optimism. With this beautifully illustrated book of axioms he inspires readers to seek out a brighter future - and build it together -- Simon has inspired hundreds of thousands of readers with his two classic bestsellers, Start With Why and Leaders Eat Last and millions of people with his TED talks. The mission of all his work, from the biggest speech to the simplest tweet, is to build a world in which people wake up every day inspired to go to work, feel safe while there, then return home feeling fulfilled at the end of the day. Now, in this delightfully illustrated book of quotes and aphorisms, Sinek amplifies that vision with new ideas that will inspire readers to overcome obstacles and become the leaders they wish they had. The book is organized around the challenges we all face in the modern world of work, whether we're just out of college or trying to lead a giant company. From confronting doubts, to building a team, to recovering from failure, Sinek helps us see things in a fresh and inspiring way. Consider just a few of his insights.... "A team is not a group of people that work together. A team is a group of people that trust each other." "Fight against something and we focus on the thing we hate. Fight for something and we focus on the thing we love." "We'd achieve more if we chased the dream instead of the competition. "Readers will turn time and again to the aphorisms in Together is Better, and share it with friends, family, and colleagues. It can help anyone get out of the rut most us pretend is the fast track.
Leaders Eat Last: Why some teams come together and others don't
Why do only a few people get to say "I love my job"? It seems unfair that finding fulfillment at work is like winning the lottery; that only a few lucky ones get to feel valued by their organizations, to feel like they belong. Imagine a world where almost everyone wakes up inspired to go to work, feels trusted and valued during the day, then returns home feeling fulfilled at the end of each day. This is not a crazy, idealized notion. Today, in many successful organizations, great leaders are creating environments in which people naturally work together to do remarkable things. When the conditions in our organizations are right, we naturally trust each other and cooperate. But when leaders neglect the environment in which their people must work, politics, silos, cynicism and self-interest prevail; all things that make it even more difficult for us to work together. The best leaders know how to build those conditions and the best organizations are the ones in which the people work together to confront danger and seize opportunities. Simon will explain what it takes to create an environment in which people work as they were designed - together. It is under these conditions we are at our natural best.
