Keynote Speech – Expect the Unexpected

A Keynote Speech That Informs, Entertains and Prepares the Audience for the Unexpected

In an increasingly difficult  business environment it’s not what you see coming at you that will give you the greatest challenges. It’s the surprises. It’s the unknowns.  It’s what you least expect that will undermine the “best laid plans”.  As a magician,  Bill Herz specializes in preparing people for  those surprises.   In his full hour long entertaining and informative keynote speech,  lecture and demonstration,   Bill uses magic to teach the audience how to expect the unexpected.

How can we prepare for those surprises? Frequently, we miss the most important issues  because our attention is misdirected.  “Misdirection” also happens to be  one of a magician's most powerful tools and magic is a great way to teach an audience how to prepare for it.  While in magic frequently we watch one hand while the other hand accomplishes the "magic", in business, frequently  we often miss the complete picture because we are  focused on the wrong element.

In his lecture-demonstration, Bill uses video, audience interaction and magic to teach the group how to  become more objective in viewing an entire landscape.  The participants are shown how  to separate the “real issues” from the “illusions” and thus, focus  attention where it is most needed.   The presentation is fast paced, humorous and is tailored for each specific audience. It is delivered in a light, entertaining manner. It can be delivered on its own, or it can be abbreviated, tailored and added onto a traditional entertainment performance.
