PROFIT AFTER PAIN

How to turn trauma and obstacles into power and profit

Motivate your team to see the value in experiencing hard times and solving difficult problems.


Perfect conditions are bad for success.

As we enter the third year of the global COVID pandemic it’s easy to think that perfect conditions are around the corner. It’s easy to believe that “when things are better” you’ll be able to thrive. Your teams are exhausted, they feel lost, beaten down and need to find a new perspective in a world that is always going to be chaotic.

The extraordinary appeal of perfect times, perfect days and perfect situations.

Chaos is a feature, not a bug in our code.

I know that sounds crazy but crazy times require crazy solutions. And there’s a lot of crazy going around right now.

Things are happening all the time, literally. Every single day a million things happen to us, around us which involves us or don’t. These things are neither good nor bad. They just are. It’s our perspective that makes them bad or good. Said another way, our perspective is bad or good, positive or negative not the thing that is happening.

Your business has experienced chaos over the past two years but in truth, it’s probably experienced chaos since you started it, right? So why do we see the COVID pandemic as extra chaos, as more complex, as detrimental to our survival? Mostly because that is the prevailing narrative being told around us and by us.

Through my experience and this flagship keynote presentation, I will help your team find a new narrative. I will give your team new tools to find solutions to the complex everyday problems they experience because these really are just everyday problems.

We’re not the first batch of humans to live through a pandemic. You’re not the first person to build a business in a recession or work through trauma but it feels like that sometimes and I want to help you break that feeling.

Through two simple concepts and a few mental models my keynote, PROFIT AFTER PAIN will guide you towards a new perspective towards action.

While other people and businesses are waiting for the perfect conditions before they make their move, I am going to show you why perfect conditions are bad for success and bad conditions are perfect for success.

Perfect doesn’t exist. The world is imperfect and so are we so it’s time to get comfortable with trauma and figure out how to switch from suffering to superpower.

Motivation is tough to come by so I don’t peddle it. I inspire teams to think in new ways about the problems they are faced with. I move teams to action and provide them with tools and case studies to help them find the best solutions in the most complex and chaotic times.

This keynote is perfect for your business if you need your team to think differently and find the line of least expectation.
