Thinking Without a Box! Applying quantum principles for greater performance and profitability

95% of the problems faced by organizations result from self-inflicted wounds. This startling conclusion is the result of over 30 years of work with senior corporate executives around the world. Change how you think, however, and you can create system-wide change almost overnight.

That's the energizing promise from one of the most mind-stretching and entertaining business speakers in the world today. Ian Percy takes five key principles from quantum physics and shows leaders how to use them to transform their organization with dramatic results.

If we understood how computers worked we'd get a lot more value from them. Likewise when we understand even a little about how the universe works we can create exponentially greater employee engagement, inexhaustible passion, breakthrough innovation, customer-focused performance and sustainable profitability. And all this with the application of only five quantum principles.

• The principle of Infinite Possibilities demonstrates that often failure is caused by goals being set too low and that we can make our highest visions a profitable reality;
• The principle of It's All One Thing eliminates turf wars and business units causing problems for each other, creating true synergy instead;
• The principle of Corporate Mind enables an organization to access all its mind power for breakthrough innovations and sustainable engagement;
• The principle of Common Intention ensures that all are focused on the same outcome, dramatically increasing the likelihood of a new reality;
• The principle of Subconscious Rule through which we can eliminate self-sabotage because sub-conscious beliefs are in alignment with conscious desires.

Lighting a Fire in Your Fireplace: Rekindling the Corporate Spirit

In the usual chaos of change - whether from mergers, re-engineering or crises - the human spirit takes quite a beating. This session helps you to 'light the fire' and restore purpose, passion, and performance throughout the organization. Without this spirit that drives all human behavior, all the emphasis on structure, strategies and systems will be to no avail.

If you want your audience on fire - this is the presentation you're looking for.

Success in the Age of Disengagement: How to Create Unassailable Loyalty From Both Employees and Customers

"Engagement" is the new jargon for loyalty and commitment. The frightening thing is there's not much of it to be found anywhere. The accumulative effect of 9/11, endless corporate scandals, botched hurricane relief, and general lack of national confidence has produced The Age of Disengagement. People are focused only on 'looking out for themselves'. To a large extent it's taken the fun out of work and is creating enormous economic loss.

The good news is people really want to be engaged! This program explains what it will take to restore our organizations to a point where employee and customer loyalty are unassailable.

The Profitable Power of Purpose

A highly defined "Purpose" has been behind every true mark of progress and success since the beginning of time. So why, when it comes to discussing the corporate "vision" and "mission" do people fall into a deep sleep? The reason is that many still don't 'get it'. Maybe if we realized that Purpose has a direct impact on the bottom line we'd show a little more enthusiasm!

In this challenging and humor-filled presentation people learn what it means to have a higher purpose - a Peak Purpose™ - a vision so powerful it moves the organization to peak passion, performance and especially Peak Profitability.

From Information to Wisdom: The Greatest Leadership Challenge of This Century

One thing we all agree on is that we have enough information! The challenge is what to do with it - and that's where wisdom comes in. Unfortunately we don't talk about wisdom much, almost like it's beyond reach. Yet wisdom is the rarest and most needed resource in the corporate world today.

This presentation is ideal for senior leaders as it challenges them to dramatically change how they spend their time. It is the rare executive who has the time to simply think, reflect and determine the wisest course of action. This thinking time is not a luxury, it is essential to any successful enterprise.

Infinite Possibilities

No matter how you might express it and no matter how successful you have already been, there is in every human mind and heart a gnawing sense that there is so much 'more' for you to accomplish. If you're like most people you don't even know what that 'more' looks like. If could be a personal more like uncovering an amazing talent or gift you don't even know you have. It could mean finding new courage to try things that right now seem daunting. Or it could be a professional more involving those thoughts and ideas you often have that could lead to the next 'big idea' but that you never seem to have the opportunity to act on for a whole bunch of reasons.

This inspiring, eye-opening and mind-expanding session invites you to see and experience the truth that: "All that will ever be possible is already possible."
