You’ve learned a lot this year. Now, it’s time to share. By Emily Bloch

LEADING BEYOND DISRUPTION: THE PROXIMITY REVOLUTION 

In a world of constant disruption, technological change, and megatrend turbulence, how do we transform the way we lead and work? The answer is Proximity – a simple idea that you can use to turn disruptors like artificial intelligence, renewable energy, virtual reality, 3D printing, and new ways of working into possibilities...chaos into clarity.
Based on his new book, Proximity: How Coming Breakthroughs in Just-in-Time Transform Business, Society, and Daily Life, this keynote will arm leaders with a Proximity Roadmap for their industry and adjacent ones. He will ignite a new mental mindset and give you the practical tools you need to prepare yourself and your business to be bold and shape your future.
• Understand the impact that matters for your business of disruptors like generative AI, 3D printing, precision-agriculture, dark factories, and renewable energy – and how to harness them to drive growth and resiliency
• Build your Proximity roadmap, three steps to winning the future
• Prepare your organization and people with the mindsets needed to lead
• Map out where you need to rethink growth plans, innovation and investments, operations, and customer expectations

*This session can be delivered as a keynote speech or a 3 hour hands-on workshop

There is a battle underway. My stomach is telling me to eat, my heart is saying play with my kids, my gut is exhorting me to write my dissertation and my calendar is pressuring me to write this blog. If you are human, you’ve surely felt these moments. Unfocused, unsure and frozen, you kill your creativity, are unable to write that report, design that ad or make that call.

All gurus tell us the same thing: we can have anything we want if we are clear about what we want and focus on it. To focus is a fundamental military principle—Carl von Clausewitz advises we should “concentrate our power . . . so that our chances of success may increase at the decisive point.” Focus is also a principle of life, as Marcus Aurelius wrote, “Most of what we say and do is not essential; If you can eliminate it, you’ll have more time, and more tranquility; Ask yourself at every moment, ‘Is this necessary?’”

But here is my problem, and perhaps yours as well: how do we know what we really want?

Last month I got a chance to speak to someone whose livelihood depends on being able to help people connect with what they want. Errol Brain coaches Portugal’s national rugby team and is a celebrated former player for New Zealand. He lives, like most professional coaches, “waiting to be fired” as his job security year after year depends on his team’s performance—and in turn their performance depends on whether his players want to win.

I got a chance to pick Brain’s brain for an hour. My goal was to really get a stronghold on this issue. How can two people who want the same thing and who have similar abilities, end up diverging—one winning the championship and the other quitting? How can we make sure we win?

Here is the answer I was able to distill from my discussion with Brain:

1. Know for whom you want it

2. Pressure test

3. Take your eye off the ball

4. Care less

Know for whom you want it
