If you are planning an event in which you simply must reach the minds, hearts and souls of the participants - you need to bring in Ian Percy. Few speakers connect as deeply with an audience as does Ian. His ability blend insight and unending humor, and to draw out the passion and purpose of every individual enables you to harness that power to unify your team, get through difficult times, successfully carry out complex change, build loyalty with your customers, or surpass an impossible revenue goal - whatever your intention.
Few blend depth of insight, uplifting inspiration and humor like Ian does. "Our lives and our businesses are infused with infinite possibilities," he says, "but to see and act on those possibilities we need to change how we think and even what we believe." Challenging how people think and leading them to see how truly rich, purposeful and rewarding their lives can be is what Ian's speaking and consulting work is all about. "Everything that will ever be possible is already possible," he insists, "and it is our ultimate responsibility to reach as high as we can."
An organizational psychologist, Ian is the founder of The City Possibilities Initiative, a process that applies proven principles from quantum and energetic science to achieve significantly higher levels of engagement, innovation and prosperity in North American cities and their businesses. He's worked around the world in sectors such as health care, agriculture, technology, finance, education, retail and government. Clients such as Cargill, Royal Bank, Microsoft, ExxonMobil, KPMG, Transamerica and Sanofi Aventis have sought his insights into their own possibilities, as have over 350 health care organizations.
Successful Meetings magazine declared him "One of the top 21 speakers for the 21st century" and he is one of only three to be inducted into both the US and Canadian Speaker Halls of Fame. Ian's authored seven books including the breakthrough book on leadership, Going Deep, and the provocative book on corporate vision, The Profitable Power of Purpose. His latest eBook, Make Your Life a Masterpiece, is a modern English translation of the 1902 classic As a Man Thinketh by James Allen. Ian is also a member of the "Brain Trust Panel" and a frequent contributor to the widely read online publication RetailWire.
Percy's unique ability to help people believe in their full potential, to challenge themselves and to stimulate courageous innovation brings significant competitive advantage to many and varied organizations around the world.
[less]Ian works with the intention of your event, not so much from the perspective of topics. He'll discuss with you the theme of your meeting, the kind of transformation you want to see and then create a presentation that will do exactly that. There are no pre-set programs.
With both style and substance he opens minds and hearts to new possibilities. Whether the emphasis is on innovation, leadership, sales, collaboration, customer service or whatever, he helps people believe again and then turn that belief into bold and aligned behavior. "That's the energy that will take your organization to its highest possibilities," he says.
Here are recent presentation titles used by corporate clients:
Thinking Without a Box! Why we have to change our thinking if we want to change our results
Truth is if there's a box you're trying to think out of...you put it there! Escape the box and never get back in. One group used the simple title: There is No Box!
Lighting a Fire in Your Fireplace: Rekindling the Corporate Spirit
Corporations have spent most of their time, energy and money building a fireplace...but no one brought a match! If you want your audience on fire, this will work for you!
"Solving Problems" VS "Seeing New Possibilities"
One of these strategies will keep you locked in the past and one will take you to a world beyond your dreams. Take your time in choosing!
The Profitable Power of Purpose
We do not have to choose between 'purpose' and 'prosperity' nor between 'meaning' and 'money'! In fact both are stronger when combined. If you go with this title there's a super book by the same name you can give participants as a reinforcement.
The 21st century CEO - Chief Energy Officer
Leadership is aligning all of the organization's energy toward its highest possibilities. Seeing leadership in this new way will transform your organization overnight.
The Company With the Most Energy Wins!
The entire universe is made up of, is held together by, and runs on...ENERGY! The same is true for your organization and the more you come to understand how energy works, the more likely you'll win your market space.
Beyond Newton - Moving into the Quantum Age!
Your organization is far more than a collection of parts. That's what we were taught in the 17th century and we still haven't moved past it. There are simple, powerful and practical concepts from quantum and energetic science that will revolutionize how your organization operates and innovates.

You inspired our audience and these battle-scarred veterans of the health care wars are not easily overwhelmed. Still, you touched their sensitivity like no others. In short, you taught us how to recapture our spirit. You exceeded my expectations by an order of magnitude and I already had high expectations!

Thank you for the outstanding day you facilitated at our Leadership Summit. The day was extremely valuable to all the participants on a professional and personal level. This is the third opportunity we’ve had to work together and you continually surpass expectations. You are a delight to work with.
–Telus Mobility
In no way was I going to have us approach our incredible opportunities with the old fear-driven mind set of command and control that drains the life out of people. We needed new thinking and that’s why I brought Ian in to work with us. UNIFI has incredible people and I want every one of them to fly as high as they possibly can.
–UNIFI
Our times call not for the kind of leadership based on scientific formula, but for leadership that demonstrates a power of spirit. Something that comes from the gut, the heart. It is intuitive leadership, as Ian suggests, that tells you how and when to seize the opportunity. It’s opportunity that gives the power.
–KPMG International
I was looking for a professional to help my group become a high-performing ‘out of the box’ executive team. Ian brings home the truth that there is no organizational transformation until there is serious personal transformation.
