Kicking off NET 2015 Ms. Carol Patterson will to help you to inspire everyday explorers and create passion, innovation and results!
Become inspired yourself and carry that into your programs!
In the two decades since I left a conventional career as a professional accountant, I have helped people reinvent and revitalize their organizations with adventure.
I’ve been chased by elephants, surrounded by cockroaches in Borneo, hobbled across Bhutan on a broken ankle, and nearly froze to death on a llama safari, but I’ve learned pathfinders craft opportunities from modest resources while loving what they do.
The ability to think like an explorer allows people to see situations with new eyes and thrive when others wilt. Explorers work with what they have and know how to reduce risk when taking chances.
Are You Seeing Your Possibilities?
INSPIRING EVERYDAY EXPLORERS
In our fast-paced world you need an adventurer’s curiosity to turn the ordinary into the extraordinary. Succeeding demands innovation, resourcefulness and passion – characteristics of successful explorers! The people in your organization might not see themselves as adventurers, but Carol Patterson’s keynote will show them how to think like an explorer by learning:
- Your passion is in fashion
- Fixing by mixing
- Rejuvenate to innovate
Being first to a destination means planning for the worst, hoping for the best, and adapting quickly to reality. Successful explorers see with ‘fresh’ eyes. They move past limited thinking and creative innovative solutions with resources on hand.
Sharing her adventures as a professional accountant turned travel writer, speaker, consultant and everyday explorer, Carol will help you think like an everyday explorer to reinvent your organization, deliver results, and ignite the untapped passions within.
You will leave Carol’s keynote presentation:
- Realizing why you need to bring what you love to your job
- Seeing things as you’ve never seen them before and how to combine the tried and true to create new opportunities
- Understanding why time away from your desk isn’t a luxury, but a necessity if you are serious about innovation
- Inspired to let your passion lead to new frontiers and successes!
