Nadya Zhexembayeva, Chief Reinvention Officer, WE EXIST Reinvention Agency
Ask any manager on planet Earth, ‘What is your key challenge?’ and among many different responses one will strike you with remarkable consistency: Staying afloat. The fast-moving roller-coaster economy we live in today makes this task increasingly difficult. Change is happening more often and at a faster speed than ever before. Just as we handle one crisis, another appears around the corner. How can we survive and even thrive? The answer is the one you've heard before: We must consistently remake who we are, what we offer, and how we deliver our offerings to the world. Put simply, we must reinvent. In fact, we must reinvent so frequently and so radically that the traditional roles and processes inside of an organization cannot keep up. It’s time to make reinvention into its own competence- whatever function or responsibility you are in. "Built to last" is no longer acceptable: today, we must build to reinvent. This keynote speech will help you with this task!

Phil Hansen, Multimedia artist, speaker, author and innovator
Phil Hansen is an advocate for art education and his speech, "Embrace the Shake: Transforming Limitations into Opportunities” is coined from his own personal story of transformation. Phil has turned personal challenges into enormous and rewarding opportunities. Phil's message will leave you confident that you can rise above any challenge and succeed no matter what comes your way! Success, especially in today's fast-changing business environment, depends on our ability to make "creativity and innovation" a continuous process. Leaders want to know how their teams can rise above any challenge and succeed no matter what comes their way. Whether it's to embrace change, overcome obstacles, sustain growth, or take your success to the next level, they want to "Embrace the Shake''. Phil's powerful message of finding creativity within limitations will inspire you to stop looking on the outside, and start looking inside yourself for resources that can transform your challenges into opportunities for success. And like Phil's art, "Embrace the Shake" isn't just talk, it's an experience! Through jaw-dropping visuals and LIVE interactive art, get ready to break preconceived assumptions, activate your creative capacity, and bring fresh ways of viewing the task at hand that will culminate with success. Are you ready to Embrace your Shake?
