What if everything you thought you knew about innovation was wrong? What if it was actually easier than you previously believed? How could that transform your business, your life, and your world? Get ready to re-imagine your innovative potential with this energetic and entertaining keynote program by 29-time Emmy Award winner and Hall of Fame speaker Bill Stainton.

Key Takeaways:

  • Debunk—for good—the myth that some people (and some industries) just aren’t innovative.
  • Discover that your next breakthrough idea could be sitting right next to you—literally.
  • Experience what the creative process really feels like, so that you can reproduce it on demand.
  • Find out what it means to be a GameChanger in your industry—and how to get there.
  • Learn why innovation is all about connection—including connection with your fellow attendees.

Why choose this program?

  • As a high-energy, high-entertainment opening keynote, this program encourages attendees to connect with each other throughout your event, and challenges them to be open to (and actively seek out) the new ideas they’ll be encountering over the course of your conference/meeting.
  • As a powerful closing keynote, this program incorporates themes, quotes, and key takeaways from earlier presentations, giving your entire event a sense of cohesion.
  • This program is also perfect for organizations that want practical tools for dealing with—and capitalizing on—change.

NOTE: Each of Bill’s programs is customized for each specific audience (including the title, if appropriate). They are, in a sense, “co-created” with the client to make sure they reflect the client’s desired goals, objectives, and outcomes. This means that some of the takeaways may change from program to program in order to meet the needs of each particular audience.

What if everyone on your team looked at your business and asked the question, “How can I make this better?”—every day? People think innovation is just for the “creative types.” This stops most people from even trying to come up with innovative ideas. And this means that your organization has a huge, untapped resource that can be activated by a simple mindset shift. In this fun and interactive keynote program, 29-time Emmy Award winner and Hall of Fame speaker Bill Stainton proves that everyone on the team can be an innovator. Every. Day.

Key Takeaways:

  • Understand what innovation really is (and what it really isn’t).
  • Eliminate—once and for all—the “I’m just not creative” roadblock.
  • Learn what the “Homer Simpson moment” is, and how it can help you become an EveryDay innovator.
  • Eliminate the idea that innovations have to be earth-shattering in order to “count” (and find out what this has to do with ketchup).
  • Become an innovator. Immediately. Even before the program is over.

This keynote is a perfect fit for audiences that:

  • Include team members at multiple hierarchical levels;
  • Include spouses/significant others who are not “industry insiders;”
  • Include attendees from multiple industries.

NOTE: Each of Bill’s programs is customized for each specific audience (including the title, if appropriate). They are, in a sense, “co-created” with the client to make sure they reflect the client’s desired goals, objectives, and outcomes. This means that some of the takeaways may change from program to program in order to meet the needs of each particular audience.

This is a perfect add-on workshop session to any of Bill’s innovation keynotes. Generally limited in size, this is a hands-on, roll-up-your-sleeves, practical lab where participants take the concepts introduced during the keynote and apply them directly to the specific situations (problems/challenges/opportunities) facing them right now—all under the personal guidance and facilitation of 29-time Emmy Award winner Bill Stainton.

If you’re a company leader, choose this program when:

  • You want to viscerally anchor the innovation experience within your team;
  • You have a specific situation that could benefit from a highly-focused innovation session;
  • You’d like to see your team come up with dozens of innovative ideas that can impact your business immediately as well as far into the future.

If you’re an event planner, choose this program when:

  • You want to offer a special bonus session for your best sponsors;
  • You’re looking for an “extra fee” program for a limited number of attendees;
  • You need “something different” for an afternoon session following the morning keynote.
